Switch lever 2 can occupy the following positions.
In the vertical plane:
- I (middle position of the lever) - direction indicators are off. All external lights are off, parking lights are on, low or high beam headlights are on depending on the position of the ignition key and handle 1 of the external light switch;

On the right and lower ends of the lever there are keys 1 and 2 (see photo), which are used to control the trip computer (see "Trip computer").
6 – ignition switch (lock), combined with an anti-theft device, is located on the right side of the steering column. The key in the lock can be in one of three positions:
- 0 - disabled. The position is fixed, the key is removed. When the key is removed, the locking mechanism of the anti-theft device is activated. To ensure that the steering shaft is locked, turn the steering wheel to the right or left until it clicks. To turn off the mechanical anti-theft device, insert the key into the ignition switch and, turning the steering wheel slightly to the right and left, turn the key to position "I";
- I — ignition. Position fixed, ignition on, key not removed, steering unlocked;
- II — starter. Position is not fixed, key cannot be removed, steering is unlocked. This is achieved by turning the key clockwise, overcoming the force of the spring. To operate the starter, you need to hold the key with your hand. The ignition switch is equipped with a starter re-engagement lock when the engine is running. To restart the starter after an unsuccessful start attempt, move the key from position "I" to position "0" and then back to position "II".
Caution! Do not hold the key in position "II" for more than 10 s.
Warning! It is strictly forbidden to turn off the ignition and remove the key from the ignition switch while driving, as this will lead to a sharp increase in the force on the brake pedal and lock the steering.
Note: If the ignition is off and the key is left in the ignition, then when the driver's door is opened, the buzzer emits a continuous trill, warning that the key is left in the ignition.
