Anti-theft, Ignition, Starter
ANTI-THEFT-IGNITION-STARTER SWITCH (Fig. 12)
The device is situated below the dashboard, on the left-hand side of
the steering column.
The successive positions of the key when turned clockwise are as
follows:
1 - Anti-theft (steering locked)
2 - Garage (steering free)
3 - Ignition
4 - Starter
When turning from the "Anti-theft" position to the "Garage"
position, it may be necessary to rock the steering wheel slightly
while turning the key.
As there is a safety device which prevents operating the starter
twice in succession, it is necessary (if the engine stops or does not
start first time), to switch off the ignition, then switch it on again \
in
order to be able to operate the starter a second time.
To withdraw the key, pull it slightly when approaching the required
position ("Anti-theft" or "Garage").
Never withdraw the key before the car has come to a complete
stop.

At a speed of over about 1,000 rpm, the clutch behaves in the
same way as a conventional clutch. The clutch pedal must be
used to change gear.
When running downhill, slowing down abruptly may cause
the clutch to disengage. Re-engage the clutch immediately
with a light touch on the accelerator before the car gathers
speed in free-wheeling.
