Citroen C3: Starting / Switching off the engine with the key / Key ignition switch

It has 3 positions:
- 1. Stop: inserting and removing the key,
steering column locked.
- 2. Ignition: steering column unlocked, ignition
on, Diesel preheating, engine running.
- 3. Starting.
Avoid attaching heavy
objects to the key
or the remote control. It would weigh
down on its shaft in the ignition switch and
could cause a malfunction.
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops to
the reserve level, the system switches to energy
economy mode : the power supply is cut off automatically to preserve the
remaining battery
charge.
