D o n o t fl i c k t h e a c c e l e r a t o r a t
the moment of switching off the
ignition. This could cause serious
damage to the turbocharger(s).

To unlock the steering, gently move
the steering wheel while turning the
key, without forcing it.
2. "M": Drive position
Depending on the version of your
vehicle, the orange and red warning
lamps should also come on for a short
time.
3. "D": Starter
Release the key as soon the engine
has started.

ignition. Wait ten seconds then ope-
rate the starter again. Steering lock
1. "
S": After removing the key, turn
the steering wheel to lock the steer-
ing. The key can only be removed in
position S .
2. "M": Ignition switched on, the
steering is unlocked (by turning the
key to position M , move the steering wheel gently if necessary).
3. "D": Starter position.
Never turn the key to this position
when the engine is running.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed
s p a c e o r w h e r e t h e r e i s i n s u f fi c i e n t
ventilation.
It is essential always to drive with
the engine running in order to retain
braking and steering assistance.
Never remove the ignition key
before the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
Avoid attaching a heavy object to
the key which would weigh down
on its shaft in the switch and could
cause a malfunction. Vehicles equipped with a
turbocharger
Never stop the engine without having
allowed it to run for a few seconds at
idle, this being the time required for
the turbocharger to return to a normal
speed.
