Ignition switch/steering wheel lock
The steering wheel lock might be under tension when the car is parked. Turn the steering wheel slightly
to free the ignition key.
A buzzer will sound if the ignition key is in the ignition lock and the front door on the driver's side is
open. The buzzer will also sound if the headlights or parking lights are on when the door is open.
The buzzer goes off when the front door is closed.
Parking brake (hand brake)
The lever is situated between the front seats. The brake is applied to the rear wheels.
In order to obtain the best possible performance of the parking brake, the brake linings should be broken
in. (See section titled "Brake System".)
