PARKING MECHANISM OUTLINE

B3E051701030A23

• When the selector lever is shifted to P position, the parking pawl engages the parking gear and locks the output 

gear (i.e., rotation of the driving wheels).

End Of Sie

PARKING MECHANISM STRUCTURE

B3E051701030A24

• The parking pawl is installed in the transaxle case via the parking pawl shaft and pushed to the support 

actuator by the return spring except in P position.
The parking rod component is designed to slide on the support actuator and connected to the manual plate.

End Of Sie

PARKING MECHANISM OPERATION

B3E051701030A25

• When the selector lever is moved to P position, the manual shaft and the manual plate move in the direction of 

the arrow A to the position as shown in the figure below. Then the parking rod component moves in the 
direction of the arrow B, the parking rod component cam pushes up the parking pawl, and the parking pawl 
engages the parking gear.
If the parking pawl hits the tooth of the parking gear, the parking pawl cannot be pushed up, so only the parking 
rod component is able to move. The cam presses the spring onto the parking pawl and the actuator. If the 
vehicle runs even a little under this condition, the wheels rotate and parking gear also rotates slightly. As a 
result, the parking pawl slides into the groove, and engages the parking gear.
Thus, the parking mechanism prevents the vehicle from moving in P position.
