Shift Lock System (With Key Interlock): 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".
