Acc; Start - Subaru 2005 Forester Owner's Manual

Instruments and controls
The key can be turned from "ACC" to "LOCK" only
when the selector lever is in the "P" position.
Manual transmission vehicles
The key can be turned from "ACC" to "LOCK" only
when the key is pushed in while turning it.
Never turn the ignition switch to "LOCK"
while the vehicle is being driven or towed be-
cause that will lock the steering wheel, prevent-
ing steering control. And when the engine is
turned off, it takes a much greater effort than
3-4
usual to steer.
Before leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key from the ignition switch for safety and
never allow an unattended child to remain in
the vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure
could result in injury to a child or others. They
could operate the power windows, the sunroof
or other controls or even make the vehicle
move.
