•  The starter interlock switch mechanism prevents vehicle surge when the engine is started, enhancing the safety. The engine cannot be started unless the clutch is depressed.

•  The mechanism is provided with a starter interlock switch on the circuit between the ignition switch and the starter.

•  Depressing the clutch pedal presses the starter interlock switch rod. At this time, the starter interlock switch is on and the power circuit to starter closes. Accordingly, the starter operates only when the clutch is depressed and the engine can be started.
