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:
Level | Functions |
---|---|
0 |
The functions are time-controlled in this ignition position and are switched off automatically after a period of time. |
I |
|
II |
This ignition position consumes a lot of current from the starter battery and should therefore be avoided! |
