Ignition switch with steering wheel lock
Two identical keys supplied with the vehicle (for ignition switch, front doors, trunk lid and in some versions for glove box) have a number. This number is worth writing down (in case of loss of keys, this will facilitate the search for their duplicates).
The key can take the following positions:
- S (stop) - steering wheel lock, power outage. To lock the steering wheel, you need to get the key and turn the steering wheel until it locks (characteristic click). To unlock the steering wheel, insert the key and turn it clockwise while turning the steering wheel lightly to the right and left;
- A (appliances) - supply voltage is applied to the devices, the ignition is on;
- M (Job) - working position;
- D (launch) - after starting the engine, it is necessary to release the pressure on the key.
Steps to start the engine
Pilot lamps
1. Make sure the shift lever is in neutral.
2. Turn the key in the ignition switch to position M. The control lights will immediately light up: STOP, handbrake, coolant temperature, engine oil pressure and battery charging (see fig. Pilot lamps).
3. If starting a cold engine with a carburetor, pull the choke control fully out (1).
4. Turn the key to position D to engage the starter and hold in this position until the engine starts. In winter, when the ambient temperature drops below 0°C, it is necessary to press the clutch pedal while the starter is running. After the engine starts, gradually release the clutch pedal.
5. The control lights should go out.
6. Before starting the movement, the engine should idle for several minutes (do not drastically increase the number of revolutions).
Attention! If the engine (cold or warm) did not start the first time, you should wait a few seconds and try again.
Attention! Never run the engine indoors - exhaust fumes are very toxic.
7. As the engine warms up, gradually lower the choke control knob.
