Parts of the electrical system are operative.
Do not leave the remote control in the
OFF position with the engine not running

in a matter of hours.
Cars with automatic transmission: The
gear lever is not locked. See also page 164.
If the remote control is turned from ON to
OFF before the car is stationary then turning
to LOCK may not be possible. In which case
turn the remote control to the ON position
until the ABS lamp goes out, approx. 2 s.
Following which, turn it back to OFF.

position when the engine is not running.
Turn the remote control to the OFF position
to disconnect the electrical system.
When you turn the remote control to ON,
some indicator and warning lights will come
on in the main instrument panel. These
should go out after about 3 seconds.
ST - starter position
The starter motor operates (automatic
transmission: selector lever must be in P or

position. When released, the remote control
will spring back to the ON position.
The car has an electronic restart lock. If the
engine fails to start, the remote control must
first be turned back to a position between
OFF and LOCK before the starter motor can
be operated again.
