Shift Lock

The shift lock prevents unintended gear changes.

For safety reasons the brake pedal must be depressed before the shift lock is disengaged, allowing gear selection. Once a gear (either R or 1) has been engaged, shifting between R and 1 can be accomplished without stepping on the brake pedal for a time period of 2 seconds. When 2 seconds has elapsed, the shift lock will engage preventing shifting between R and 1 unless the brake pedal is depressed again.

The shift lock is energized in the unlocked position and rests in the lock position.
