Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle parking lock system that realizes a parking lock with a positive user perception, and enables energy and cost reductions without complex control and with a simple configuration. The object is achieved by a selectable clutch configured to be switchable between four operating modes and provided to one of an input shaft, an output shaft, and an intermediate shaft of a transmission. The operating mode of the selectable clutch is controlled based on detection signals of a plurality of sensors to prevent an unintended movement of the vehicle when the vehicle is stationary.
