Ignition Lock


Component Illustration:






Function
The ignition lock interlock connects the selector lever of the floor selector to the ignition lock. It prevents the driver removing the ignition key if selector lever position "P" is not engaged. When the parking lock is not engaged (selector lever position "D", "R", "N"), the locking valve (60) locks the locking cam (61). The pressure spring (62) only pulls the locking valve (60) away from the locking cam (61) in selector lever position "P". The ignition key can now be turned to the "0" position and removed from the ignition.
