Abstract
An arrangement for locking the ignition key of a motor vehicle using the selector lever of an automatic transmission includes a locking element which engages via a guide nose in a guideway on the selector lever. The locking element is connected with an ignition lock by way of a cable pull. An intermediate element, which can be loaded in a pressure direction by a pressure rod in the selector lever acts upon an upper edge of the locking element constructed as a lever. This permits a mechanical locking using only one swivellable locking element. The mechanical locking is secure with respect to misuse.
