Ignition positions

The car's electrical system can be set in different levels/positions and in this way make the different functions available.

In order to facilitate the use of a limited number of functions with the engine switched off, the car's electrical system can be set in 3 different levels - 0, I and II. These levels are described with the denomination "ignition position" throughout the owner's manual.

The following table shows the functions available in each ignition position/level:

LevelFunctions
0
  • Odometer, clock and temperature gauge are illuminated.
  • Power seats can be adjusted.
  • The power windows can be used.
  • The centre display is started and can be used.
  • It is possible to start the audio.

The functions are time-controlled in this ignition position and are switched off automatically after a period of time.

I
  • Panorama roof, power windows, 12V socket in the passenger compartment, navigation, phone, ventilation fan and windscreen wipers can be used.
  • Power seats can be adjusted.
  • 12 V sockets in the cargo area can be used.
  • The audio is started automatically if it was running when the car was left.
II
  • The headlamps come on.
  • Warning/indicator lamps illuminate for 5 seconds.
  • Several other systems are activated. However, heating in seat cushions and the rear window can only be activated after the engine has been started.

This ignition position consumes a lot of current from the starter battery and should therefore be avoided!
