Abstract
In a shift lever device, operation of a shift lever to a “P” shift position is allowed when electric-power is not supplied to a solenoid in a state where the shift lever has been operated to a shift position other than the “P” shift position. Moreover, operation of the shift lever from the “P” shift position is regulated when electric-power is not supplied to a lock solenoid in a state where the shift lever has been operated to the “P” shift position. Therefore, in a case where the shift position of the shift lever is other than the “P” shift position when electric-power is not supplied to the solenoid and the lock solenoid, operation of the shift lever from the “P” shift position can be regulated by operating the shift lever to the “P” shift position, and the shift lever can be placed in the “P” shift position.
Claims8
A shift device comprising:
- a shift member whose shift position is configured to be changed by the shift member being operated;
- and
- a regulation mechanism, by which operation of the shift member toward a predetermined shift position is regulated and operation of the shift member from the predetermined shift position is allowed by electric power being supplied to the regulation mechanism, and by which operation of the shift member toward the predetermined shift position is allowed and operation of the shift member from the predetermined shift position is regulated by electric power not being supplied to the regulation mechanism.
