Abstract
A transmission control device of a vehicle has a shifting body and detects the operating state of the shifting body. The transmission control device shifts the connecting state of the transmission based on the detection result. A parking lock state releasing apparatus for the vehicle includes a releasing switch, which is located in a passenger compartment. An ignition drive device generates gas by causing ignition in response to operation of the releasing switch. The parking lock state of the transmission is changed to the release state using the pressure of the gas.
