WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS PULLED OUT
Selector Lever is a Position Other than
Posi-
tion
Lock cam turns in the direction of the arrow
shown in the illustration and stays there.
As a result, the key interlock cable is caught
on lock cam and the cam lever inside the ignition
key cylinder is turned in the direction of the
arrow shown in the illustration (it is in the re-
moved section of the revolving cam).
Consequently, even if one tries to turn the igni-
tion key to the “LOCK” position, the ignition
key only turns to the “ACC” position since move-
ment of the revolving cam is restricted by the
cam lever and the key cannot be pulled out.
Selector Lever is in “P” Position
The slide lever inside the ignition key cylinder
is pushed in the direction of the arrow by the
key interlock cable and the cam lever turns in
the direction of arrow shown in the illustration.
As a result, the revolving cam removes any
restriction to the rotation of the cam lever so
it
turns freely and the ignition key can be turned
to the “LOCK” position and can be removed.
