AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SHIFT MECHANISM
KEY INTERLOCK SYSTEM OPERATION
Positions other than P position (Key interlock is operating)
• When the selector lever is in a position or range
other than P position, the cable end is set at the
key-locked position. When the engine is switched
off and an attempt is made to turn the ignition
switch to the LOCK position, turning of the cam is
restricted by the slider because the cable end
pushes the slider to the cam side, and the ignition
switch cannot be turned to LOCK.
P Position (Key interlock is not operating)
• When the selector lever is in P position, the cable
end is at the key-unlocked position, and because
the slider does not restrict movement of the cam,
the ignition switch can be turned to LOCK.
