It has 3 positions:
-  p osition  1 (Stop):
 insert  and  removing Â
the
 key,
-
Â
p
osition  2 (Ignition on) :

-
Â
p
osition  3 (Starting).
Ignition switch
Switching off the engine leads to a loss o
f  braking  assistance.
Ignition on position (2)
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric equipment  or  portable  devices  to  be  charged.
Once
 the  state  of  charge  of  the  battery  drops Â
t
o  the  reserve  level,  the  system  switches  to Â
e
nergy  economy  mode:  the  power  supply  is Â
c
ut  off  automatically  to  preserve  the  remaining Â
b
attery  charge. Avoid
 attaching  heavy  objects  to  the  k
ey,  which  would  weigh  down  on  its  b
lade  in  the  ignition  switch  and  could Â
c
ause  a  malfunction.

In
Â
certain  cases,  you  may  have  to  apply Â
m
ore  force  to  the  steering  (wheels  on Â
f
ull
 lock,  for  example).
F
Â
W
ith
Â
a  petrol  engine,  operate  the  starter Â
m
otor
 by  turning  the  key  to  position  3
without
 pressing  the  accelerator  pedal, Â
u
ntil
Â
the  engine  starts.  Once  the  engine  is Â
r
unning,  release  the  key. F
 W ith  a  Diesel  engine,  turn  the  key  to Â
p
osition 2,
 ignition  on,  to  operate  the Â
eng
ine
 p

 s
ystem.
Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument  panel  then  operate  the  starter m
otor  by  turning  the  key  to  position 3
without
 pressing  the  accelerator  pedal,
 u
ntil  the  engine  starts.  Once  the  engine  is
 r
unning,  release  the  key.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can  stay  on  for  a  longer  period.  When Â
t
he  engine  is  hot,  the  warning  lamp Â
d
oes  not  come  on. In
 temperate  conditions,  do  not  leave Â
t
he  engine  at  idle  to  warm  up  but  move Â
o
ff  straight  away  and  drive  at  moderate Â
s
peed.
Never  leave  the  engine  running  in Â
a
n  enclosed  area  without  adequate Â
v
entilation:
 in
ternal
 c
ombustion
 e
ngines  emit  toxic  exhaust  gases, Â
s
uch  as  carbon  monoxide.  Danger  of  i
ntoxication  and  death.
In  very  severe  wintry  conditions Â
(
temperatures  below  -23°C),  to  ensure Â
t
he  correct  operation  and  durability  of Â
t
he  mechanical  components  of  your Â
v
ehicle,  engine  and  gearbox,  it  is Â
n
ecessary  to  leave  the  engine  running Â
f
or  4  minutes  before  moving  off.
If
 the  engine  does  not  start  straight Â
a
way,  switch  off  the  ignition.  Wait  a  few Â
m
oments  before  operating  the  starter Â
m
otor  again.  If  the  engine  does  not Â
s
tart  after  several  attempts,  do  not  keep Â
t
rying:  you  risk  damaging  the  starter Â
