External Controls - Overview
Automatic Transmission External Controls
Vehicles with automatic transmissions are equipped with a floor shift selector lever.
The transmission selector lever linkage consists of:
- a selector lever cable that connects the transmission manual control lever to the selector lever assembly
- a brake shift interlock actuator that is integral to the selector lever assembly
- SelectShift™ allows the driver to manually shift the transmission
The selector lever assembly:
- locks the transmission selector lever in the P position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position
- requires the transmission selector lever to be in the P position to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position
