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.

Pull out the key.

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 D, fig. 12). The key can then be withdrawn without locking the steering column.

STARTING THE DS FA (fig. 13)

Check that the gear-selector/starter lever 7 is in neutral (PM).

Switch on (diagram B, fig. 11) whereupon the warning light K of the dial 3

(fig. 20) lights up, also the warning lights C for the oil pressure and H for battery charging.

When the engine is cold : Depress the accelerator pedal slightly. Push the gear-selector/starter lever 7 fully towards the left until the engine starts. Do not persist for more than 1 0 seconds at a time.

If the engine fails to start at the first attempt wait 3 to 4 seconds before trying again.
