KEY LOCK MECHANISM

The key is not set to LOCK when the selector lever is not selected to P position. This prevents the key from being removed from the key cylinder.
Key lock status





The slider (B) in the key cylinder (A) is moved to the left side of the figure when the selector lever is in any position other than P position.
The rotator (D) that rotates together with the key (C) cannot be rotated for this reason. The key cannot be removed from the key cylinder because it cannot be turned to LOCK (E).
