Starting (ignition) switch/steering wheel lock
If you find it difficult to insert the key in the ignition or to move the
steering wheel, the steering wheel lock might be under tension. Turn the
wheel back and forth slightly to free the ignition key.
In order to reduce car theft, make sure the steering wheel lock is engaged
before leaving the car.
A chime will sound if the starting key is left in the ignition lock and the
front door on the drivers side is opened.
WARNING! Never switch off the ignition (turn the ignition key to
position 0) or remove the key from the ignition switch while the car is
in motion. This could cause the steering wheel to lock, which would
make the car impossible to steer.
