The Starter Safety Switch is part of the transmission range switch on automatic transmission vehicles and a clutch switch on manual transmission vehicles.

The purpose of the switch is to prevent engine start-up with the vehicle in gear or the clutch not depressed. On vehicles with EWS, this signal is sent directly to the EWS module for processing.
