Ignition switch (lock) (Chevrolet Lanos T150)

The ignition key can be inserted into the lock and removed only in the "LOCK" position. In order to turn the ignition key from the "ACC" position to the "LOCK" position, it is necessary to press the key, sinking it into the lock. When removing the ignition key, the anti-theft device mechanism may be activated, blocking the steering shaft. To block the steering shaft, it is necessary to remove the key from the ignition switch and turn the steering wheel in any direction until the locking element clicks. To unlock the shaft, slightly rock the steering wheel and turn the key in the ignition switch from the "LOCK" position to the "ACC" position.





When the key is not inserted into the ignition switch or is set to the "LOCK" position, the following power circuits are energized: side lights, headlights, fog lights, license plate lights, and interior lights; emergency alarm; sound signal.

In the "ACC" position, in addition to the above-mentioned consumers, voltage is supplied to the power supply circuits of the head unit and cigarette lighter.



In the "ON" position, the ignition is turned on and voltage is supplied to the power supply circuits of all electrical consumers.

In the "START" position, the starter is turned on. After starting the engine, you must release the ignition key, and it will automatically return to the "ON" position.

To avoid losing control of the vehicle due to steering wheel locking, do not remove the key from the ignition while the vehicle is moving.

To avoid discharging the battery, do not leave the ignition key in the "ACC" position for a long time, or in the "ON" position when the engine is not running.
