Driving

ANTI-THEFT LOCK WITH BUILT-IN IGNITION-SWITCH IN THE DS FA (fig. 11)

The anti-theft housing located in the dashboard at 25 (fig. 19) combines the ignition-switch and the steering column lock.

Starting the engine

Insert the key into the housing lock (diagram A fig. 11) and turn the key clockwise until a click is felt: the steering is now unlocked. If difficulty is experienced when turning the key clockwise turn the steering wheel slightly in both directions while turning the key. Continue turning the key in the same direction as far as the first stop (diagram B) at which point ignition contact is made.

Push the gear-selector lever/starter control 7 (fig. 1 3) to the left as far as the stop for starting the engine.

Switching the engine off and anti-theft device

To switch off turn the key anti-clockwise as far as the first stop, then withdraw the key slightly and continue turning until the second stop.

The key can now be withdrawn.

Parking

If for some reason the engine is to be stopped without locking the steering, gently turn the key about 300 anti-clockwise and at the same time pull it towards you

(diagram C).

The key can then be withdrawn without locking the steering column.
