Description
^ The mechanical key interlock mechanism also operates as a shift lock:
With the ignition switch turned to ON, selector lever cannot be shifted from P position to any other position unless brake pedal is depressed.
With the key removed, selector lever cannot be shifted from P position to any other position. The key cannot be removed unless selector lever is placed in P position.
^ The shift lock and key interlock mechanisms are controlled by the ON-OFF operation of the shift lock solenoid and by the operation of the rotator and slider located inside key cylinder, respectively.
