Pontiac Pursuit 2006 Owner's Manual page 91

If you have an automatic transaxle, the ignition switch
cannot be turned to LOCK unless the shift lever is in
PARK (P).
If you have a manual transaxle, the ignition switch can be
turned to LOCK in any shift lever position.
CAUTION:
{
If you have a manual transaxle removing the
key from the ignition switch will lock the
steering column and result in a loss of ability to
steer the vehicle. This could cause a collision.
If you need to turn the engine off while the
vehicle is moving, turn the key to ACC.
ACC (ACCESSORY): This position operates some of
your electrical accessories. It unlocks the steering wheel
and ignition.
R
(RUN): This is the position the switch returns to after
you start your engine and release the switch. The
switch stays in the RUN position when the engine is
running. But even when the ignition is not running, you
can use RUN to operate your electrical accessories
and to display some warning and indicator lights.
/
(START): This position starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch
will return to RUN for normal driving.
A warning tone will sound if you open the driver's door
while in LOCK or ACC, when the key has not been
removed from the ignition.
