A/T Shift Lock System: Description

The mechanical key interlock mechanism also operates as a shift lock:
With the ignition switch turned to ON, selector lever cannot be shifted from "P" position to any other position unless brake pedal is depressed.

With the key removed, selector lever cannot be shifted from "P" position to any other position.

The key cannot be removed unless selector lever is placed in "P" position.
The shift lock and key interlock mechanisms are controlled by the ON-OFF operation of the shift lock solenoid and by the operation of the rotator and slider located inside key cylinder, respectively.
