I know this is already a 4-year old thread, but posting replies can make a good reference for future purposes.

It is one element that an automatic vehicle can’t do without because it doesn’t only contribute to a car’s functionality, it also enhances safety for the occupants as well as bystanders. The neutral safety switch’s main role is to keep track of the position of the gear selector lever. It prevents the engine from starting if the gear or transmission is not on neutral or park position. If the gear is on this position, it would be easy and safe to start the vehicle.
