Never extract the key while
the vehicle is moving. The

steering wheel would be locked as
soon as the steering wheel is turned.
This also applies to cases in which the
vehicle is towed. Under no circum-
stances should after-market opera-
tions be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could negatively affect
performance and safety, cause the
lapse of the warranty and also result
in vehicle non-compliance with type-
approval requirements.

WARNING

IGNITION DEVICE

The key can be turned to 3 different po-
sitions fig. 8:
❒ STOP: the engine is off, the key can be

extracted, the steering is locked. Some
electrical devices (e.g. car radio, central
door locking system, alarm, etc.) are en-
abled.

❒ MAR: driving position. All electrical de-

vices work regularly.

❒ AVV: engine start.
The ignition device is fitted with a safety
system that forces the driver to return the
ignition key to STOP before repeating the
starting operation, if the engine does not
start up.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

Engagement

When the key is at STOP, remove the key
and turn the steering wheel until it locks.

Disengagement

Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR.
