Anti-theft/Starter motor interlock function

The ignition key must be inserted in the ignition and turned to position OFF before the selector lever can be moved from the P position.

When this function is operative, the ignition key must be inserted in the ignition switch and turned at least to the OFF position before it will be possible to move the selector lever out of position P.

The interlock function consists of the ignition switch, a locking pin and a mechanical cable connecting these components.

When the selector lever is in position P and the ignition switch is in the OFF position, the cable pulls the locking pin into a tooth space to lock the selector lever in position P.
