IF YOU CANNOT SHIFT
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SELECTOR LEVER
If you cannot shift the selector lever out of ªPº position
to other positions even though the brake pedal is
depressed, use the shift lock override button as
follows:
Turn the ignition key to ªLOCK.º Make sure the parking
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.

Insert the cover. Start the engine. For your safety, keep
the brake pedal depressed.
Be sure to have the system checked by your Lexus dealer
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.
