Releases the IGN to "OFF" position, which allows key removal. Anybody that was around in the 70s could do that blind-folded with one hand, one movement.
It just came naturally.

I wonder if anybody figured out how to over-ride that lever permanently. There's really no need for it.

That explains why my key would come out and the car would start without the key I thought it was for valet parking thanks for clearing that up
