Ignition Switch - Volvo VNL Operator's Manual

248 Engine Start and Operation

Ignition Switch

The ignition switch is located on the right
side of the steering column just under the
steering wheel. Standard equipment is a
normal ignition switch.
A steering wheel lock is available as an op-
tion. When the key is removed it actuates a
detente pin that prevents the steering shaft
from turning.
NOTE! The vehicle is delivered with 2
identical keys. If more keys are needed,
order them through your Volvo Truck au-
thorized dealer. The keys are laser cut
and require a special machine for copy-
ing, available through your Volvo Truck
dealer. Record the key code and keep in
a secure place. A new key can be made,
using the key code, if the keys are lost.
The ignition positions are:
O Off
Radio, Accessories
I
II Drive
II 1/2 Preheat (Volvo engine only)
Start
III
The ignition switch has a restart inhibitor
locking out the start position after one try,
which means that the key must be turned
back to O before a new attempt at starting
can be made.
The key can only be removed when in the
O or Off position.
For full starting instructions, see page 245.
