Key Ignition Park Interlock

This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Interlock which requires the shift lever to be placed in PARK before the ignition switch can be turned to the LOCK/ OFF position. The key can only be removed from the ignition when the ignition is in the LOCK/OFF position.

Once the key is removed, the shift lever is locked in PARK.
