  2. Assembly of key interlock cable and shift lever 
    1. Set the shift lever to the "P" position.

    3. Holding the cable and the key interlock cable plate, push them into the direction of "F" so as not to create any bending or slack on the "B" point of the key interlock cable.
      NOTE: Do not pull the cable in the direction of "X" to remove the slack. This may cause key not to remove from the key cylinder.
    4. Tighten the key interlock cable with a M8 nut.
