OPERATING INSTRUCTION
key has been forgotten in the ignition
switch.
Except for the engine ignition system, the
electrical system is switched on with the
key in the Garage position.
To start the engine, turn the key to the
Starting position and this automatically
engages the starter motor. As soon as
the engine starts, release the key which
automatically returns to the Driving posi-
tion.
8 Fan switch,
The fan is operated by means of a push-
pull switch which can be set at two diffe-
rent positions. Pushing the switch fully in
stops the fan, pulling it out to the first
position operates the fan at full speed
and when pulled out fully, the fan ope-
rates at half speed.
Due to the aerodynamic design of the
car, the overpressure in the air intake is
relatively
small.
Therefore,
at
speeds
below 80 km.p.h. (50 m.p.h.), the fan
should
be
allowed to operate at full
speed if maximum air capacity is desired.
On the other hand, however, the fan
should not be used if cooling air is
required on a hot summer's day. Instead,
open both the fresh-air controls (15, 24),
the defroster control "DEFR" and the
ventilation control "FLOOR".
10 Cigarette lighter
To use the cigarette lighter, push it in.
The lighter releases automatically when
i t attains sufficient heat.

11 Heater/ventilation
controls
The control on the left, TEMP, regulates
the temperature of the incoming air.
The middle control, DEFR, regulates the
air flow to the windscreen. And the control
to the right, FLOOR, regulates the air
flow to the front seat and rear seat floor.
The temperature, also the air flow, is in-
creased by moving the controls down-
wards whereby a red strip marked down
the
middle of the control in question
i ndicates the size of the opening. Note
that when altering the temperature con-
trol, there will be a slight delay before
the desired temperature is reached.
To avoid mist on the windows, set the
fan and defroster controls at maximum
output and close the FLOOR control. The
fresh-air controls (15, 24) should be clos-
ed. Try to avoid water on the floor and
under the mats as this increases the humi-
dity and thereby misting, particularly dur-
i ng the wintertime.
9 Switch for warning hazard
flashers
All the four warning lights start flashing
simultaneously when the switch is pul-
l ed out. A control lamp mounted in the
switch blinks in unison. The warning lights
are not connected across the ignition and
therefore function irrespective of whether
the ignition key is inserted or not.
These warning lights should be used only
when you have to stop the car where there
i s possible danger to other traffic. Note
that regulations governing the use of
these lights may vary on different markets.
