<p>A put-in-park alarm (40) which is energized whenever an automatic shift vehicle is stopped but the shift lever is not in park (52). The put-in-park alarm (40) is energized when the driver moves his door handle (34) in a door opening direction (26). Not only is the alarm (40) energized but the door cannot be opened until the shift lever is moved to park (52) whereupon the signal is deenergized, but the door is unlocked upon a second movement of the handle (34) in a door opening position (26). The invention includes a broken/maladjusted alarm (48) which is different from the put-in-park alarm (40) but produces substantially similar results.</p> |
