Ignition Transmission Lock Check



IGNITION TRANSMISSION LOCK CHECK

While parked, and with the parking brake set, try to turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF in each shift lever position.

For automatic transmission vehicles, the ignition should turn to LOCK/OFF only when the shift lever is in P (Park).

For manual transmission vehicles, the ignition should turn to LOCK/OFF only when you press the key release button.

On all vehicles, the ignition key should come out only in LOCK/OFF.
