tronic throttle control system, automatic
transmission electrical system or warn-
ing light system itself.
Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible to service the vehicle.
If engine speed does not increase when
the accelerator pedal is depressed, there
may be a problem somewhere in the elec-
tronic throttle control system.
At this time, vibration may occur. Howev-
er, if you depress the accelerator pedal
more firmly and slowly, you can drive your
vehicle at low speeds. Have your vehicle
checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
Even if the abnormality of the electronic
throttle control system is corrected during
low speed driving, the system may not be
recovered until the engine is stopped and
the ignition key is turned to “ACC” or
“LOCK” position.
CAUTION
Be especially careful to prevent erro-
neous pedal operation.
Emissions Inspection and Maintenance
(I/M) programs
Your vehicle may not pass a state emis-
sion inspection if the malfunction indicator
lamp remains on. Contact your Toyota
dealer to check your vehicle’s emission
control system and OBD (On −Board Diag-
nostics) system before taking your vehicle
for the inspection.
For details, see “Emissions Inspection and
Maintenance (I/M) programs” on page 306.

This light comes on when the ignition key
is turned to the “ON” position. If the tire
pressure warning system works properly
and tire inflation pressure is appropriate,
the light goes off after a few seconds.
This light comes on or flashes in the fol-
lowing cases when the ignition key is
turned to the “ON” position.
When the low tire inflation pressure
is detected while driving...
If any tire has low inflation pressure,
the light comes on. The light goes off after the tire inflation
pressure is adjusted to a specified lev-
el.

system and/or active traction control sys-
tem.
If the “VSC/TRAC” warning light and “VSC
OFF” indicator light come on, have your
vehicle checked by Toyota dealer as soon
as possible. However, it is no problem
that the “VSC/TRAC” warning light comes
on when the brake actuator temperature
becomes high. (For details, see “Active
traction control system” on page 144.)

Your automatic transmission has a shift
lock system to minimize the possibility of
incorrect operation. This means you can
only shift out of “P” position when the
brake pedal is depressed with the ignition
switch in “ON” position.
(a) Normal driving1. Start the engine as instructed in “How to start the engine” on page 252. The
transmission must be in “P” or “N”.
2. With your foot holding down the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to “D”.
When the lever is in the “D” position, the
automatic transmission system will select
the most suitable gear for running condi-
tions such as normal cruising, hill climb-
ing, hard towing, etc.
Always use the “D” position for better fuel
economy and quieter driving. If the engine
coolant temperature is low, the transmis-
sion will not shift into the overdrive gear
even in the “D” position.
CAUTION
Never put your foot on the accelera-
tor pedal while shifting.
3. Release the parking brake and brake pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal
slowly for smooth starting.
(b) Using engine braking
To use engine braking, you can downshift
the transmission as follows:
Shift into the “4” position. The trans-
mission will downshift to fourth gear
and engine braking will be enabled.
Shift into the “3” position. The trans-
mission will downshift to third gear
when the vehicle speed drops down to
or lower than following speed for third
gear, and more powerful engine braking
will be enabled. Four
