Ignition Lock System

All automatic transmission equipped models of this vehicle are equipped with steering columns that contain a mechanical neutral start system. This system relies on a mechanical block to prevent starting the engine with the transmission in any position other than "P" (park) or "N" (neutral).

Also, a park lock (backdrive) cable connects the ignition switch to the gearshift selector. This cable prevents the gearshift selector from moving unless the ignition is in the "ON" position.
