Abstract
A parking lock system for motor vehicle transmissions has a locking pawl pivotable between an interlock position and a release position, and a first actuating element movable between a disengaged position and an engaged position, where movement of the first actuating element induces pivoting of the locking pawl. The system includes a second actuating element movable between an actuating position and an element release position, the second actuating element contacting and moving the first actuating element from the engaged position into the disengaged position when moving from the actuating position into the element release position. The system includes a spring element that moves the first actuating element into the engaged position when the second actuating element moves into the actuating position, and allows the first actuating element to move relative to the second actuating element into the disengaged position when the second actuating element is in the actuating position.
