ABSTRACT:
A locking arrangement between a selector lever of a transmission and an ignition lock of a motor vehicle has a locking pawl, which is rotatably disposed in a selector lever block. The locking pawl, via a recess, form-lockingly reaches around a cam part arranged on the selector lever. When the selector lever is in the parking position, the cam part is rigidly connected with a button that is to be operated manually. In this case, a catch hook of the locking pawl engages into the moving path of a locking cam, which is arranged on the selector-lever-side end of a flexible linkage. The catch hook acts in a blocking manner, as long as the button is operated into a first position. When the button is not operated, the ignition lock, which by way of the linkage is connected with the locking cam, can be rotated into an inoperative position, whereby the locking cam fixes the locking pawl. The button cannot then be operated because the cam part is fixed by the recess. The selector lever is therefore blocked in the parking position and the ignition lock cannot be rotated into the inoperative position as long as the selector lever is not in the parking position.
