IF YOU CANNOT SHIFT
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SELECTOR LEVER
If you cannot shift the selector lever out of ºPº position to
other positions even though the brake pedal is depressed,
use the shift lock override button as follows:
1. Turn the ignition key to ºLOCKº. Make sure the parking
brake is applied.
2. Pry up the cover with a flat±bladed screwdriver or
equivalent.

3. Insert your finger, the screwdriver or equivalent into the
hole to push down the shift lock override button. You can shift
out of ºPº position only while pushing the button.
4. Shift into ºNº position.
5. Insert the cover.
6. 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 ORLOCK YOURSELF OUT
Many Lexus dealers can make a new key if you can give
them the key number. Since your vehicle is equipped with
the engine immobiliser system, the dealer will also need
your master key.
See the suggestion given in ºKeysº on page 12.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle and you cannot get a
duplicate, many Lexus dealers can still open the door for you,
using their special tools. 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.
Even if you lose only one key, contact your Lexus dealer to
make a new key. If you lose all your master keys, you cannot
make new keys; the whole system must be replaced.

1. Be sure that the body around the headlight is not deformed.
2. Park the vehicle on a level spot.
3. The driver should stay in the driver's seat so that the
vehicle has its normal load (with the tank full).
4. Bounce the vehicle several times.
