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...
