Operation
The steering lock interlock prevents the ignition key being removed when the parking lock is not engaged.

The locking pawl (39) is positioned on the exterior contour of the detent plate (38) if the parking lock is not engaged and if the brake pedal is not depressed.

The cables (53, 54) hold the locking valve (60) in its position in front of the locking cam (61) against the force of the pressure spring. Therefore, the ignition key cannot be turned to the "0" position.

In selector lever position "P" and with the brake pedal in the rest position, the force of the return spring (57) can pull the locking pawl (39) under the stop at the detent plate (38) and the pressure spring (62) simultaneously pulls the locking valve (60) away from the locking cam (61).

The ignition key can now be turned to the "0" position and removed from the ignition.

The design of the parking lock interlock is the same as for the steering lock interlock and it functions with reciprocal action to the steering lock interlock.
