<p>A shift-lock mechanism includes a lock member (90) adapted to lock or unlock a transmission range-switching member (3), a solenoid (100) adapted to be controllably operated in response to an operation of a brake device provided on a vehicle, and an engagement arm (94) adapted to be releasably engaged with the solenoid (100). A plunger (102) of the solenoid (100) is adapted to be movable over a range between a retracted position where it is retracted outside a movement path of the engagement arm (94), and an engagement position where it is stretched across the movement path of the engagement arm (94). When a selector lever (4) is manually moved into a parking range zone (53a), the plunger (102) is moved forwardly from the retracted position to the engagement position to allow a peripheral wall of the plunger (102) to stop a movement of the engagement arm (94), and, in response to a braking operation of the brake device, the plunger (102) is moved backwardly from the engagement position to the retracted position to allow the stopping of the movement of the engagement arm (94) to be released.</p> |
