If this occurs, you may feel the engine cut in and out. This is caused by a limiter in the engine's computer controls. The engine will run normally when you reduce the rpm below the red zone. Shift Lock Release This allows you to move the shift lever out of Park if the normal method of pushing on the brake pedal does not work. This procedure is also used to release the reverse lockout. 1. Set the parking brake. 2. Make sure the ignition switch is in the LOCK (0) position. To release the reverse lockout, make sure the ignition switch is in the ACCESSORY(I) position. Starting in Second Gear When you are in Sequential SportShift mode, and the vehicle is stopped, push forward on the shift lever to shift to second gear. You will see ''2'' in the display. Starting out in second gear will help to reduce wheelspin in deep snow or on a slippery surface. 264 2008 TL
