Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the parking
brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released. If
the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, make sure to block the
wheels.

unexpectedly, possibly leading to an accident.

may be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Lexus dealer immediately.
