WARNING  
If the engine isn't running, the power brakes and  
steering won't work, so steering and braking will  
be much harder than usual.  
If the selector lever cannot be moved from the "P"  
position to another position, although the brake  
pedal is depressed, use the button  
"SHIFT LOCK" as follows:  
1. Turn the ignition key to the "ACC" position.  
Make sure the parking brake is engaged.  
2. Press the "SHIFT LOCK" button. It will only be  
possible to disengage from the "P" position by  
pressing this button.  
3. Shift to position "N".  
4. Start the engine. For safety reasons, keep the  
brake pedal depressed.  
Have the system checked by any authorized Toyota  
dealer or service center, or another properly qualified  
and equipped professional, as soon as possible.
