ABSTRACT:
A locking bar may engage with an ignition switch which is switched to a START position and a LOCK position by a pushing operation, and may unlock a steering shaft when the ignition switch is at the START position and lock the steering shaft when the ignition switch is at the LOCK position. An ID code decision portion may decide whether or not an input identification number coincides with a registered identification number. A first actuator may unlock the ignition switch when the input identification number coincides with the registered identification number, and may lock the ignition switch when the input identification number does not coincide with the registered identification number. Accordingly, lock of the steering shaft due to failure or malfunction during running can be prevented.
