If You Cannot Shift Automatic Transmission Selector Lever - Toyota Echo 2001 User Manual

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).
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.
