Ray is correct... My car also have this device functional now... From that leaver un the steering column goes a "gear movement piece" look alike that links the steering column to the the reverse leaver that if you look at it, you´ll see that the reverse leaver has 2 holes and 1 of them is empty in your car...
I´m sorry to be so messy with my explanation but my native language is spanish and this technical stuff mess me up a lot!...
I´ve heard this steering to reverse shift linkage gives a lot of trouble... In my car it appears to be safe and for sure it is a very promitive security system for our cars... As Ray sais, it operates blocking the steering wheel and the reverse shift on and when it is funcional, the only way you can take the key of the ignition is to put the reverse and block the steering wheel...
Not so comfortable to tell you the truth but it is what it is!!
