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The key can now be withdrawn.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The key can then be withdrawn without locking the steering column.
