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.

ded!
