- a) LOCK (0) - blocking
- b) ACC (I) - auxiliary consumers of electricity (parking position)
- c) ON (II) - ignition on
- d) START (III) - engine starting
Position "LOCK" (0) - blocking
1. The key can be inserted into the lock or removed from it only in this position. When turning the ignition key from position "LOCK" (0) into position "ACC" (I) the steering column is unlocked. To turn the key from position "ACC" (I) into position "LOCK" (0), you must first lightly press it, drowning it in the lock a little. In addition, on models equipped with an automatic transmission, an additional condition for starting permission is the mandatory transfer of the selector lever to the position "R".
2. The steering column is locked automatically when you try to turn the steering wheel after removing the key from the ignition.
3. Steering column lock sometimes makes it impossible to turn the key in the ignition. In such a situation, turn the steering wheel slightly in one direction or another (in order to relieve the burden), while turning the key in the lock.
Attention! Never remove the key from the ignition lock while driving! This will inevitably lead to steering column lock and loss of control. Remove the key from the lock only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
Position "ACC" (I) - parking
In this position of the ignition key, the auxiliary consumers of electricity can operate (audio system, cigarette lighter, heater fan, windshield wipers, etc.).
Position "ON" (II) - ignition on
1. In this position, the ignition key is constantly while the car is moving, as well as when the engine is idling. At the same time, electrical power is provided to all systems and additional equipment installed on the vehicle. When turning the key from position "ACC" (I) into position "ON" (II) some of the control lamps located on the dashboard of the car briefly turn on, confirming the correct functioning of the corresponding control systems.
2. On suitably equipped models, when the key is turned to "ON" (II) headlights turn on automatically (daytime running lights - DRL).
Position "START" (III) - launch
1. Turning the key to this position engages the starter. After starting the engine, the key must be released and it will automatically return to the "ON" (II).
2. On models equipped with an immobilization system, the engine start will be blocked if the anti-theft system does not identify the key code (see above).
