<p>The ignition lock includes a lock cylinder mechanism (16), mounted on the steering column, which operates an ignition pin (18) sliding in a guide housing (20). A lock recess (24) in the ignition pin accommodates part of a latching ball (26) disposed in an opening (28) in the housing, except when the pin is moved to a lock position (L) by the lock mechanism. A floor-mounted gearchange lever (36) is coupled by a cable (34) to a transmission shift pin (32) sliding in the guide housing. The ball (26) can not be accepted in the recess (24) until the ignition pin is moved from the locked position. However if the transmission shift pin (32) is in a position other than the park (P) the park recess (38) does not accommodate the latching ball. As a result the ignition pin, and therefore the ignition lock, can not be set to the locked position.</p> |
