The transaxle selector lever control linkage consists of:

- a selector lever cable that connects the transaxle range selector lever to the selector lever assembly.
- a Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) that is integral to the selector lever assembly.

The selector lever assembly:

- locks the transaxle range selector lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the lock position.
- requires the transaxle range selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the ignition switch to the lock position.

The MKZ Transmission Control Switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch located on the selector lever knob that allows the driver to cancel the operation of OVERDRIVE.
