1844-2. Driving procedures
■Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to pre-
vent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting. The shift lever can be shifted from P
only when the engine switch is in ON
and the brake pedal is being depressed.
■If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
First, check whether the brake pedal is
being depressed. If the shift lever cannot be shifted with
your foot on the brake pedal, there may
be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
The following steps may be used as an
emergency measure to ensure that the shift lever can be shifted.
Releasing the shift lock:
1 Set the parking brake.
2 Turn the engine switch off.
3 Depress the brake pedal.
4 Ply the cover up with a flathead
screwdriver or equivalent tool. To prevent damaging the cover,
wrap the tip of the flathead screw-
driver with a tape.
5 Press and hold the shift lock override
button and then push the button on
the shift knob.
The shift lever can be shifted while the
both buttons are pressed.

■To prevent an accident when
releasing the shift lock
Before pressing the shift lock override
button, make sure to set the parking
brake and depress the brake pedal. If the accelerator pedal is accidentally
depressed instead of the brake pedal
when the shift lock override button is pressed and the shift lever is shifted
out of P, the vehicle may suddenly
start, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
