Welcome to Belleville Toyota!

Today, I will be demonstrating how to engage the shift lock release. By doing so, you will bypass the shift lock to allow the vehicle to be shifted out of park while the vehicle is not running. This is particularly important if your battery died and the vehicle was in an unfavourable position either on the road or in the driveway. By following these steps, you can put the vehicle in neutral and move it to a safer place.

Typically all automatic vehicles will have a feature like this. Also included in the video are a few clips of the shift lock release location in a variety of other models. This may be helpful to find the shift lock release in your vehicle!

Practice this on your vehicle to be more prepared and confident in emergency situations. You may use your key; however the preferred method is a flathead screwdriver.
