SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM


  1. OUTLINE


    1. The shift lock system prevents the shift lever from being moved to any position other than P, unless the ignition switch is ON and the brake pedal is depressed. This prevents the vehicle from starting off suddenly.

    2. The shift lock system is controlled by the shift lock control ECU sub-assembly and the system has a shift lock function and key interlock function*.

    3. The key interlock function prevents the key from being pulled out after the ignition switch has been turned off, unless the shift lever has been moved to P. Thus, the driver is urged to park the vehicle with the shift lever in P.*


      • *: Models without smart entry and start system

    4. A shift lock release button, which manually overrides the shift lock mechanism, is used.
