Ignition Positions - Chevrolet 2008 Optra Owner's Manual

Ignition Positions

CAUTION:
{
On manual transmission vehicles, turning the
key to LOCK/OFF and removing it 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 only to
ACC/ACCESSORY. Do not push the key in
while the vehicle is moving.
2-18
The ignition switch can be
turned to four different
positions with the key.
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.
LOCK/OFF: This position locks the steering wheel,
ignition, shift lever and transmission. This is the only
position in which you can insert or remove the key.
For easier key operation when unlocking the steering
wheel, move the steering wheel from right to left
and turn the key to ACC/ACCESSORY.
ACC (ACC/ACCESSORY): This position operates
some of the electrical accessories, such as the radio,
but not the climate control system.
