ANTI-THEFT LOCK WITH BUILT-IN IGNITION-SWITCH AND STARTER
CONTROL IN THE DS FB (fig. 12).
The anti-theft housing located in the dashboard at 25 (fig. 21) provides the
following:
ignition-switch,
starting the engine and
steering column lock.
Starting the engine
Insert the key into the housing lock (diagram A, fig. 1 2) and turn it clockwise until
a click is felt: the steering is now unlocked.
Note: If difficulty is experienced when turning the key clockwise to start slightly
turn the steering wheel 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 ignition
contact is made.
Turn further until the second stop, the starter is energized and the engine is
started (diagram C).
Note: A safety device prevents the starter being used with the engine running.
Should the engine stop, therefore, the ignition has to be switched off and on
again before the starter can be used again.
