A park lock having a cam that is movable along a movement axis to cause corresponding pivotable movement of a pawl relative to a dog ring. The park lock mechanism includes a first actuator assembly and a second actuator assembly. The first actuator assembly has a first output member on which the cam is slidably mounted. The second actuator assembly includes a detent mechanism, which is configured to resist movement of the cam relative to the first output member, and a biasing element that is configured to store energy. Operation of the detent mechanism to permit movement of the cam relative to the first output member employs the stored energy in the biasing element to translate the cam on the first output member.
