AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SELECTOR LEVER

brake is applied.
Pry up the cover with a flat±bladed screwdriver or
equivalent.
Insert the screwdriver or equivalent into the hole to push
down the shift lock override button. You can shift out of
ªPº position only while pushing the button.

as soon as possible.

IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS OR LOCK
YOURSELF OUT
If you need a replacement key, contact your Lexus
dealer.
See the suggestions given in ªKeysº on page 8.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle and you cannot get a
duplicate, many Lexus dealers can assist you. If you must
break a window to get in, we suggest breaking the smallest
side window because it is the least expensive to replace. Be
extremely cautious to avoid cuts from the glass.
