6. Navodila za uporabo
The PICO 5503PT Ignition Switch features four distinct positions, controlled by inserting and turning the key.
- Vstavi ključ: Insert one of the provided keys into the ignition switch.
- Položaj IZKLOP: This is the default position when the key is inserted or removed. All electrical systems are off, and the engine is not running.
- ACCESSORY (ACC) Position: Turn the key one click clockwise from OFF. This position provides power to non-essential accessories such as the radio, power windows, or auxiliary outlets, without engaging the ignition system.
- IGNITION (ON) Position: Turn the key two clicks clockwise from OFF (or one click from ACC). This position powers the vehicle's ignition system, fuel pump, and other essential engine components. All warning lights on the dashboard should illuminate. This is the position for normal engine operation.
- START položaj: From the IGNITION position, turn the key further clockwise against spring tension. This momentarily engages the starter motor to crank the engine. Release the key once the engine starts; it will spring back to the IGNITION (ON) position. Do not hold the key in the START position for more than 10 seconds to prevent damage to the starter motor.
- Odstranjevanje ključa: The key can only be removed when the switch is in the OFF position.
