Ignition Lock: Description and Operation








When selector lever is in position other than "P", lock lever interrupts key cylinder to turn to "LOCK" position, thus steering is kept to be operated free. However, when selector lever is shifted in "P", lock lever is released, thus allowing ignition key to be removed and then steering is locked.
