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 driver’s 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.
