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, there
may be a problem with the shift lock system (a system to prevent
accidental operation of the shift lever). Have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
The following steps may be used as an emergency measure to
ensure that the shift lever can be shifted.

Set the parking brake.
Turn the “POWER” switch to ACCESSORY mode.
Depress the brake pedal.

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

Press the “POWER” switch and start the hybrid system. For
your safety, keep the brake pedal depressed.

Press the shift lock override
button.

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