Functions at different levels
To enable the use of a limited number of func-
tions with the engine switched off, the car's
electrical system can be set in 3 different levels
(key positions) - 0, I and II - with the remote
control key. This owner's manual describes
these levels throughout using the denomina-
tion "key positions".
The following table shows the functions avail-
able in each key position/level.
LevelFunctions
0Odometer, clock and tempera-
ture gauge are illuminated.
Electrically operated seats can be
adjusted.
The audio system can be used for
a limited time - see page 220.

ment, RTI, phone, ventilation fan

nate for 5 seconds.
Several other systems are acti-
vated. However, electric heating
