Warning: Remove the key from the ignition lock only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop! Otherwise, the steering lock may engage while driving.
Warning: To prevent the vehicle from rolling uncontrollably, after the vehicle has come to a complete stop, you must always apply the parking brake firmly.
Gasoline engines
1 - Ignition off / engine off.
2 - Ignition on.
3 - Engine start.
Diesel engines
1 - Fuel supply cut off / engine off.
2 - Turn on the preheating and the position when the car is moving.
During the operation of the starting preheater, no other electrical appliances - large current consumers should be turned on. Otherwise, there will be too much load on the battery.

For all vehicles:
Position 1
To lock the steering, turn the steering wheel with the ignition key removed until the steering lock pin locks into place audibly.
If, after removing the ignition key, the lighting devices or the direction indicator are not turned off, then as soon as the driver's door is opened, a buzzer will sound.
Position 2
If the ignition key is difficult or even impossible to turn to this position, you should shake the steering wheel slightly to the left and right - then the steering lock will be released!
Position 3
In this position, the headlights switch to parking lights, other large consumers of electric current are turned off.
Before each new attempt to start the engine, it is necessary to return the ignition key to position 1. The starter lockout device located in the ignition lock prevents the starter from turning on when the engine crankshaft is rotating and thereby protects the starter from damage.
Ignition key removal lock
On vehicles with an automatic transmission, the key can only be removed after the ignition is switched off when the selector is in position "R".
With the ignition key removed, the selector is locked in this position.
