Gear Lever Lock

GENERAL





The car is equipped with a combined ignition switch and gear lever lock. When reverse gear is engaged and the ignition key is removed, the gear lever will be locked in the reverse position.

The ignition switch has the following positions:
L Locked. Before the key can be turned to this position, reverse gear must be engaged, and the key can only be withdrawn when the gear lever is in the reverse position. The parking lights and hazard warning lights can be switched on when the ignition key is in this position.
G Garage. All lights can be switched on.
K Drive. The entire electrical system, including the ignition circuit, is live.
S Start. In this position, the key is spring-loaded to return to K.

The gear lever lock consists of a locking plate (3) and gearwheel (4) actuated by a toothed segment (5) fitted under the lock barrel (6). The segment turns with the lock barrel.
