If You Cannot Shift Automatic Transmission Selector Lever - Toyota 2005 Corolla Owner's Manual

A driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard−surfaced roads for a short dis-
tance and at low speeds. Also,
wheels, axles, drive train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when towing ve-
hicles. Avoid sudden starts or erratic
driving maneuvers which would place
excessive stress on the emergency
towing eyelet and towing cable or
chain. The eyelet and towing cable or
chain may break and cause serious
injury or damage.
NOTICE
Use only a cable or chain specifically
intended for use in towing vehicles.
Securely fasten the cable or chain to
the towing eyelet provided.

Before towing, release the parking brake
and put the transmission in neutral (manu-
al) or "N" (automatic). The key must be
in "ACC" (engine off) or "ON" (engine run-
ning).
the
CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the pow-
er assist for the brakes and steering
will not work so steering and braking
will be much harder than usual.
If you cannot shift automatic
transmission selector lever
If you cannot shift the selector lever
out of "P" position to other positions
even though the brake pedal is de-
pressed, use the shift lock override but-
ton as follows:
1. Turn the ignition key to "LOCK"
position. Make sure the parking
brake is applied.
2. Pry up the cover with a flat−bladed
screwdriver or equivalent.
