Abstract
To provide a control apparatus for a vehicle capable of performing the biasing, releasing, locking, and unlocking of an engine in the sequential action. A flat key is inserted in an opening portion of a casing constituting a controller. When the key is judged to be correct with respect to the vehicle, a current is allowed to flow in a solenoid, a solenoid plunger is actuated. As a result, a rachet plate is displaced, so that a first detector faces to a second detector. Thus, when an engine start switch is turned ON, a specified current is allowed to flow in a CPU of a controller. When the key is ejected from the casing, the engine is released, and the solenoid is turned OFF. At this time, by the turning of an operating lever, the first detector is separated from the second detector. By further turning of the operating lever a locked state of the handle occurs.
