It depends on how you pronounce the abbreviation. You use "an" before a vowel sound, so if the abbreviation starts with a vowel sound, even if it does not start with a vowel, you would use "an" before it.

For example, you would say "an SUV", because you would pronounce this "an ess you vee"--the letter "s" is pronounced "ess", and that starts with a vowel sound. An abbreviation that starts with a consonant sound is CEO, so you would say "a CEO", because that is pronounced "a see ee oh".
