hi all,

new to this forum and toyotas so be gentle!

i have just taken delivery of my winter project, an L reg st202. now its an automatic and has a red button with some japanese writing above it by the gear stick/selector, my mechanic doesn't know what it is and i cant find any reference to it on the web, it is above the buttons named PWR and MANU. what does it do? i will try and post a pic when i get the chance.

cheers

It's so that you can move the gear shifter when the keys are not in the ignition, used when servicing.

Correct !

( most asked question on Japanese Car forums !!! )

There's an interlock that stops you shifting out of P if the keys aren't in the ignition. This is a bypass switch, usually used in conjunction with the brake pedal .

Handy!!

if i had known that last week it would have saved me the pain of starting her up to try and re-wire the stereo!!

should have guessed really, thinking about it!!

Cheers folks
