Automatic transmission

The magnet for ignition key pull-out lock N376

It is located within the switch for access and start

authorisation E415 and prevents the ignition key

from being removed when the selector lever is in

a driving position. Compared with the previous

mechanical systems (by cable control), the igni-

tion key pull-out lock in the Phaeton operates on

an electromechanical basis.

If the vehicle is equipped with a Start/Stop button, the driver receives a visual and acoustic

warning upon leaving the vehicle if the selector lever is not in the 'P' position.

How it works

The ignition lock contains two spring-loaded

locking pins which engage in the extended inside

tract of the inserted ignition key.

The locking pins engage in the extended inside

tract of the ignition key if the selector lever is not

in 'P' position. The ignition key cannot be with-

drawn.

When the selector lever is in 'P' position, a signal

travels from the switch for selector lever in 'P'

F319 to the access and start authorisation relay

J518. The control unit then sends current to the

magnet for the ignition key pull-out lock. The

locking pins are pulled out by the magnets and

thus removed from the extended inside tract of

the ignition key. The ignition key can be with-

drawn.
