VOLVO IPS DIESEL KEY SWITCH
The Volvo ignition switch type EVC-C features the follow-
ing markings to identify key operating positions.
S= Stop
O=To Remove the key
I= Ignition
II-III=Start (Spring Loaded)
To stop the engine, turn the key to the "S" position. Keep
the key turned until the engine stops. Since this position is
spring loaded the key will return to the "O" mode where
it can be removed.

matically be positioned in the straight forward position.
