Shift Interlock: Description and Operation

A: GENERAL
To increase safety during "standing start", a shift lock system is utilized to prevent shifting of the selector lever from "P" to any other position unless the brake pedal is depressed. This system is also provided with a key interlock which prevents removal of the ignition key from the key cylinder unless the selector lever is set at "P".





B: SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM
The selector lever can be moved from "P" to any other position in the following cases:
The brake pedal is depressed with the ignition key set at "ON" or "START". The ignition key can be rotated from the "ACC" to the "LOCK" position and then removed from its key cylinder only when the selector lever is set at "P".
