The key can be inserted or withdrawn only when the switch is in the "GARAGE" or "LOCK" position. In the "GARAGE" position, however, the steering is not locked.

(3-position)
The "ON" position allows you to turn on the ignition system as well as all the other electrical circuits.

No mention is made of what the OFF position is for. Presumably its use is the same as the "GARAGE" position.

Notice that the standard 3-position type does not have an "ACC" position.

When you pull the switch knob to the first of two positions, parking lights, taillights, license plate lights and instrument panel lights are turned on.

At the second position, the parking lights are still on and the headlight beams are lit, then if you push the turn signal lever switch forward, the headlight high beams will be turned on ... Pull the lever toward you, and it will be changed over to low beam.

The key takeaway here is that:
