The lock is used to turn the ignition on/off (petrol models), starter initiation (petrol and diesel models) and steering column locks (petrol and diesel models).



The accompanying illustration shows the basic positions of the lock:

• "LOCK" = Steering column locked, on-board power supply disconnected
• "OFF" = Steering column unlocked, on-board power supply disconnected
• "ACC" = Ignition is off, but it is possible to use certain electrical equipment
• "ON" = Petrol models: ignition on; diesel models: pre-heating mode is enabled (see below)
• "START" = Power is supplied to the starter motor
