Saab 2006 9-2 - Manual (Page 106)

3-4
Instruments and controls
“LOCK” only when the key is pushed in
while turning it.
¢ ACC
In this position the electrical accessories
(radio, cigarette lighter, etc.) can be used.
¢ ON
This is the normal operating position after
the engine is started.
¢ START
The engine is started in this position. The
starter cranks the engine to start it. When
the key is released (after the engine has
started), the key automatically returns to
the “ON” position.
q For models with immobilizer
If you fail to start your engine with your
registered key, once pull out the key (at
this time, the security indicator light
blinks), and then insert the key in the igni-
tion switch and turn it to the “START” po-
sition and again try to start your engine.
NOTE
The engine may not start in the follow-
ing cases:
— The key grip is touching another key
or a metallic key holder.
— The key is near another key that con-
tains an immobilizer transponder.
— Never turn the ignition switch to
“LOCK” while the vehicle is being
driven or towed because that will
lock the steering wheel, prevent-
ing steering control. And when
the engine is turned off, it takes a
much greater effort than 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. Children could
operate the power windows, the
moonroof or other controls or
even make the vehicle move.
Do not turn the ignition switch to the
“START” position while the engine
is running.
