If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
(vehicles with a Multidrive)
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 sys-
tem to prevent accidental operation of the shift lever). Have the
vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional immediately.
The following steps may be used as an emergency measure to
ensure that the shift lever can be shifted:
1
Set the parking brake.
2
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
Turn the engine switch to the "ACC" position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
Turn the engine switch to ACCESSORY mode.
3
Depress the brake pedal.
4
Pry the cover up with a flathead
screwdriver or equivalent tool.
To prevent damage to the cover,
wrap the tip of the screwdriver with
a rag.
5
Press the shift lock override
button.
The shift lever can be shifted while
the button is pressed.
