Abstract
A start/drive system for a vehicle includes a selector assembly having a drive/gear selector, a driver authority device, a security system and a lock. The lock provides an initial partial release and a subsequent complete release of the drive/gear selector. An initial movement of the selector triggers an authorization check in order to allow a further complete release of the selector.
