The security method for the Civic Hybrid is ''Park Lock''. When the shift position is on (P) Park, the transmission and the steering wheel are both locked. This means that the steering wheel cannot be moved without the key in the car.
More information about the function can be found on pages 418-419 of the owner's manual.
