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.

Start

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 198.
