Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reserve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode: the power supply is
cut off automatically to preserve the remaining
battery charge.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key

and could cause a malfunction.
It could adversely affect the deployment of
the front airbag.
