Q: How do you adjust the shift cable on a Toyota Prius?
A: Start adjusting the Shift Cable by accessing the steering column inside the vehicle. Remove the lower steering column cover, hood release handle, lower instrument panel, and shifter hole cover. Ensure the shifter is in Park, and loosen the cable adjusting nut. Confirm the vehicle is still in Park by rocking it with the parking brake released, having blocked the wheels first. Set the parking brake and push the lever towards the Parkside. Pull the rod at the end of the cable gently, letting it go while holding the lever in the Park position. Tighten the adjuster, release the lever, and replace all the removed panels, thereby concluding the adjustment of the shifter cable.
