Car ignition switch


Petrol engines


  • 1 - Engine off. Steering may be locked. Key may be removed from lock
  • 2 - Ignition on (working position)
  • 3 - Engine start (starter)

Diesel engines


  • 1 - Fuel supply interrupted (engine off). The steering may be locked. The key can be removed from the lock
  • 2 - Engine on (working position). When starting a cold engine, preheating is activated. During the operation of the preheating system, other electrical appliances should not be turned on (headlights, glass heaters, etc.), so as not to overload the battery.
  • 3 - Engine start (starter)

For all types of cars:


Position 1: To lock the steering wheel, remove the key from the ignition and turn the steering wheel in any direction until it locks (you will hear the locking pin click).

Caution: Remove the key only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop! Otherwise, the steering may suddenly lock while the vehicle is moving.


Note: If the headlights, parking lights and direction indicators are not switched off and the key is removed from the ignition switch, a signal (buzzer) sounds when the driver's door is opened.




Position 2: If the key inserted into the ignition switch does not turn or turns with difficulty, turn the steering wheel slightly to release the locking pin.

Position 3: In this position, the exterior lighting switches to parking mode and all other electrical appliances are switched off.

The vehicle is equipped with a starter interlock device that prevents the starter from engaging once the engine has started. If the engine stalls with the ignition on, turn the key to position 1 before restarting the engine.
