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.
3. Insert  your  finger  into  the  hole  to
push  down  the  shift  lock  override
button.  You  can  shift  out  of  “P”
position  only  while  pushing  the  but-
ton.
4. Shift  into  “N”  position.
5. Insert  the  cover.
6. Start  the  engine.  For  your  safety,
keep  the  brake  pedal  depressed.
Be  sure  to  have  the  system  checked  by
your  Toyota  dealer  as  soon  as  possible.
You  can  purchase  a  new  key  at  your
Toyota  dealer  if  you  can  give  them  the
key  number.  If  your  vehicle  is  equipped
with  the  engine  immobilizer  system,  the
dealer  will  also  need  your  master  key.
Even  if  you  lose  only  one  key,  contact
your  Toyota  dealer  to  make  a  new  key.  If
you  lose  all  your  master  keys,  you  cannot
make  new  keys;  the  whole  engine  immobi-
lizer  system  must  be  replaced.
See  the  suggestion  given  in  “Keys”  on
page  12  in  Section  1−2.
If  your  keys  are  locked  in  the  vehicle  and
you  cannot  get  a  duplicate,  many  Toyota
dealers  can  still  open  the  door  for  you,
using  their  special  tools.  If  you  must
break  a  window  to  get  in,  we  suggest
breaking  the  smallest  side  window  be-
cause  it  is  the  least  expensive  to  replace.
Be  extremely  cautious  to  avoid  cuts  from
the  glass.
