Ignition Transmission Lock Check



Ignition Transmission Lock Check

While parked, and with the parking brake set, try to turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF in each shift lever position.

^ For automatic transmission vehicles, the ignition should turn to LOCK/OFF only when the shift lever is in P (Park).
^ For manual transmission vehicles, the ignition should turn to LOCK/OFF only when the shift lever is in neutral.

On all vehicles, the ignition key should come out only in LOCK/OFF.
