5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P

If the shift lever cannot be shifted with your foot on the brake pedal,
there may be a problem with the shift lock system (a system to pre-
vent accidental operation of the shift lever). Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
The following steps may be used as an emergency measure to
ensure that the shift lever can be shifted:

Set the parking brake.
Vehicles with a smart key system: Turn the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch to ACCESSORY mode.
Vehicles without a smart key system: Turn the engine
switch to the “ACC” position.
Depress the brake pedal.

Standard type

Pry the cover up with a flat-
head screwdriver or equiva-
lent tool.

Press the shift lock override
button.

The shift lever can be shifted
while the button is pressed.
