Key Interlock

C: KEY INTERLOCK





- When the selector lever is set at any position other than "P", the solenoid pin is ready for operation so that the interlock lever comes in contact with the rotator which turns together with the key plate. Thus, the ignition key is prevented from rotating up to the "LOCK" position.





- When the selector lever is moved to "P", P position switch in the selector lever assembly turned ON, and the solenoid pin moves to the release position so that the lever spring disengages the interlock lever from the rotator's stopper. As a result, the key plate can be rotated to the "LOCK" position. The key orate can be inserted into or removed from the "LOCK" position only.
