2008 Saab 9-7X Owner's Manual - Page 94

Ignition Positions Use the key to turn the ignition switch to four different positions. The ignition switch is located on the center console. Notice: Using a tool to force the key from the ignition switch could cause damage or break the key. Use the correct key and turn the key only with your hand. Make sure the key is all the way in. If none of this works, then your vehicle needs service. 9 (LOCK/OFF): This position locks the ignition and transmission. It is a theft-deterrent feature. You will only be able to remove the key when the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF and the vehicle has power. If the steering wheel is locked, move it from right to left and turn the key to ACC/ACCESSORY. If none of this works, then your vehicle needs service. ACC (ACC/ACCESSORY): This position lets you use things like the radio and the windshield wipers when the engine is off. Lengthy operation of features such as the radio in the accessory ignition position may drain the battery and prevent your vehicle from starting. Do not operate your vehicle in the accessory ignition position for a long period of time. In order to shift out of PARK (P), ignition must be in the ON/RUN and the regular brake pedal must be applied. 2-20
