Ignition Positions - Chevrolet 2007 Avalanche Owner's Manual

Ignition Positions

Use the key to turn the ignition switch to four
different positions.
A (LOCK): This position locks the ignition and
transmission. It is a theft-deterrent feature. You will
only be able to remove the key when the ignition
is turned to LOCK.
Notice: Using a tool to force the key from
the ignition switch could cause damage
or break the key. Use the correct key
and turn the key only with your hand.
Make sure the key is all the way in. If it is,
turn the steering wheel left and right while
you turn the key hard. If none of this works,
then your vehicle needs service.
B (ACCESSORY): This position lets you use
things like the radio and the windshield wipers
when the engine is off.
Lengthy operation of features such as the radio
in the accessory ignition position and the
RUN position may drain the battery and prevent
your vehicle from starting. Do not operate
your vehicle in the accessory ignition position
for a long period of time.
C (RUN): This is the position for driving. It is
the position the switch returns to after the engine
starts, and you release the key.
The battery could be drained if you leave the
key in the ACCESSORY or RUN position with
the engine off. You may not be able to start your
vehicle if the battery is allowed to drain for an
extended period of time.
D (START): This position starts the engine.
