RWD ("B" & "D" Bodies)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 38 other vehicles, including the 1996 Saturn SW2, 1996 Saturn SW1, 1996 Saturn SL2, 1996 Saturn SL1, and 1996 Saturn SL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Vehicles with column shift use a mechanical interference-type neutral start system. With gear selector in any position except "P" or "N", a wedge-shaped finger, attached to ignition switch actuator rod, prevents ignition switch from being rotated to START position.
