Control Element For a Parking Lock

A parking lock control element (2) for controlling a parking lock pawl of an automobile transmission, the control element (2) comprising:

• an actuator (6) mechanically coupled to the parking lock pawl, and
• a retaining device (8, 10, 11, 12) operating on the actuator (6) for securing the parking lock pawl in the disengaged position, the retaining device (8, 10, 11, 12) comprises:
• a blocking slide (8) connected to the actuator (6), and
• a blocking actuator (11) with a slider gap (10) having a width adjustable in an actuated manner via the blocking actuator (11) between a first gap width, in which the blocking slide (8) is retractable into the slider gap (10) by releasing the parking lock pawl, and a second gap width narrower than that of the first gap width, in which the narrower width of the second gap prevents the blocking slide (8) from retracting into the slider gap (10) by blocking the actuator (6),
• wherein the parking lock pawl is disengaged through application of oil pressure circulation of the automobile transmission.
