Toyota Yaris: Automatic Transaxle Controls / Shift-Lock Override
If the selector lever will not move from P using the proper shift procedure,
continue to hold down the brake pedal.

- Remove the shift-lock override
cover using a cloth-wrapped flat
head screwdriver.
- Insert a screwdriver and push it
down.
- Press and hold the lock-release
button.
- Move the selector lever.
- Take the vehicle to your Toyota dealer to have the system checked.
The shift-lock system prevents shifting out of P unless the brake pedal
is depressed.
To shift from P:
Depress and hold the brake pedal.
Start the engine...
The manual shift mode gives you the feel of driving a manual transaxle
vehicle by allowing you to operate the selector lever manually.
This allows you to control engine rpm and torque to the drive wheels
much like a manual transaxle when more control is desired...
Other information:
Pregnant women should always wear seat belts. Ask your doctor for
specific recommendations.
The lap belt should be worn
SNUGLY AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE OVER THE HIPS. The
shoulder belt should be worn
across your shoulder properly, but
never across the stomach area...
Be careful not to hurt yourself when inspecting your vehicle, replacing
a tire, or doing some kind of maintenance such as car washing. In particular,
wear thick work gloves such as cotton gloves when touching
areas that are difficult to see while inspecting or working on your vehicle...
