Due to the column shift lock mechanism, the shift lever will not move under any of the following conditions:

All of the floor shift models use a park lock system. This system uses a flexible cable actuator. The actuator attaches at one end to the shift lever and to the column mounted ignition switch. The actuator actuates a locking pin at the other end. The locking pin engages an ignition switch sliding contact when the shift lever is in one of the following positions:

The ignition switch does not allow the ignition switch slider to move to the Lock position. When the shift lever is in P and the ignition switch is in slider is in LOCK the locking pin engages a cam on the flexible cable. This action prevents the shift lever from moving to another position.
