(b) Normal driving
1. Start the engine as instructed in “How
to start the engine” on page 316 in
Section 3. 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. In this posi-
tion, shifting into the overdrive gear is
possible. If the engine coolant temperature
is low, the transmission will not shift into
the overdrive gear even in the “D” posi-
tion.
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.AI (Artificial Intelligence) shifting con-
trol—
AI shifting control selects the most
suitable shift range automatically ac-
cording to the driver’s operation and
driving condition.
AI shifting control operates automatical-
ly with the selector lever in the “D”
position. When the lever is moved to
the “S” position, this function will be
cancelled.
Shifting control on the slope:
On inclines, you can drive smoothly
with reduced shifting quantity. On de-
clines, the vehicle will shift down auto-
matically to obtain optimum engine
braking and reduce the driver ’s foot
braking load.
Automatic shifting point change con-
trol:
The most suitable shift range is se-
lected depending on the driver ’s accel-
erator pedal operation and vehicle con-
dition.(c) Driving in “S” mode
You can change the shift range position
in the “S” mode. The shift range posi-
tion can be switched between “6” (sixth
range) and “1” (first range) by moving
the selector lever up to the “+” side or
down to the “–” side. When the selec-
tor lever is shifted to the “S” position,
the initial shift range position is “4”
(fourth range) or “5” (fifth range) de-
pending on the vehicle speed.
However, if the selector lever is shifted
to the “S” position when AI shifting
control is being performed, the initial
shift range position may be “3” (third
range). This is because the suitable
shift range is selected depending on
the driving condition.
The “S” mode indicator light and the cur-
rent shift range position are shown on the
instrument cluster.

Maximum allowable speeds
To get on a highway or to pass slower
traffic, maximum acceleration may be nec-
essary. Make sure you observe the follow-
ing maximum allowable speeds in each
range:
range km/h (mph)
1 60 (37)
2 104 (65)
3 139 (86)
4 198 (123)
NOTICE
Do not downshift if you are going
faster than the maximum allowable
speed for the next lower range.
When the “S” mode indicator light does
not come on even with the selector lever
moved to the sequential position, there
may be a problem somewhere in the
system. Have your vehicle checked/re-
paired by your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible. In this case, you can drive in
the same condition as in the “D” position.(d) Using engine braking
To use engine braking, you can downshift
the transmission as follows:
When driving in the “D” position—
Shift the selector lever to the “S”
position.
When driving in the “6” range within
the “S” position—
Move the selector lever down to the
“–” side to select the “5” range.
The transmission will downshift to fifth
range and engine braking will be en-
abled.
Vehicles with cruise control—when the
cruise control is being used, even if
you downshift the transmission, engine
braking will not be enabled because
the cruise control is not cancelled.
For ways to decrease the vehicle
speed, see “Cruise control” on page
181 in this Section.
Move the selector lever down to the
“−” side to select the “4” range. The
transmission will downshift to fourth
range when the vehicle speed drops
down to or lower than 169 km/h (105
mph), and stronger engine braking will
be enabled.
Vehicles with cruise control—when the
cruise control is being used, even if
you downshift the transmission, engine
braking will not be enabled because
the cruise control is not cancelled.
Move the selector lever down to the
“−” side to select the “3” range. The
transmission will downshift to third
range when the vehicle speed drops
down to or lower than 121 km/h (75
mph), and more powerful engine brak-
ing than that of the “4” range position
will be enabled.
Move the selector lever down to the
“−” side to select the “2” range. The
transmission will downshift to second
range when the vehicle speed drops
down to or lower than 87 km/h (54
mph), and more powerful engine brak-
ing will be enabled.

Good driving practice
If it is difficult to shift into reverse, put
the transmission in neutral, release the
clutch pedal momentarily, and then try
again.
When towing a trailer, in order to main-
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use fifth gear.
CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting on a
slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to skid or
spin.
NOTICE
Do not use any gears other than
first gear when starting off and
moving forward. Doing so may dam-
age the clutch.
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into reverse.
The traction control system automatical-
ly helps prevent the spinning of front
wheels when the vehicle is started or
accelerated on slippery road surfaces.
When the ignition switch is set at ON, the
system automatically turns on.
CAUTION
Under certain slippery road condi-
tions, full traction of the vehicle and
power against front wheels cannot be
maintained, even though the traction
control system is in operation. Do not
drive the vehicle under any speed or
maneuvering conditions which may
cause the vehicle to lose traction
control. In situations where the road
surface is covered with ice or snow,
your vehicle should be fitted with
snow tires or tire chains. Always
drive at an appropriate and cautious
speed for the present road condi-
tions.
NORMAL DRIVING MODE
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the trac-
tion control system is in the self−check
mode, but does not indicate a malfunction.

With multi−information display—
The message and master warning light
come on after ignition switch is set at
ON.
The message and master warning light
come on while driving.The vehicle stability control system
helps provide integrated control of the
systems such as antilock brake sys-
tem, traction control, engine control,
etc. This system automatically controls
the brakes and engine to help prevent
the vehicle from skidding when corner-
ing on a slippery road surface or oper-
ating steering wheel abruptly.
This system will activate when your ve-
hicle speed reaches or exceeds 15 km/h
(9 mph), and will deactivate when the ve-
hicle speed reduces to below 15 km/h (9
mph).
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the sys-
tem is in the self−check mode, but does
not indicate a malfunction.
CAUTION
Do not rely excessively on the ve-
hicle stability control system. Even
if the vehicle stability control sys-
tem is operating, you must always
drive carefully and attentively to
avoid serious injury. Reckless driv-
ing will result in an unexpected ac-
cident. If the slip indicator light
flashes, an alarm sounds, and spe-
cial care should be taken while
driving.
Only use tires of specified size. The
size, manufacture, brand and tread
pattern for all 4 tires should be the
same. If you use the tires other
than specified, or different type or
size, the vehicle stability control
system may not function correctly.
When replacing the tires or wheels,
contact your Toyota dealer. (See
“Checking and replacing tires” on
page 388 in Section 72.)
In situations where the road surface
is covered with ice or snow, your
vehicle should be fitted with snow
tires or tire chains.

TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system’s tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
SRS
 (type 1 only)
The audio systems utilize SRS FOCUS
and SRS TruBass audio enhancement
technologies, under license from SRS
Labs, Inc., in all mode except AM radio
mode.
FOCUS, TruBass, SRS and
symbol are
trademarks of SRS Labs, Inc.
FOCUS and TruBass technologies are
incorporated under license from SRS
Labs, Inc.
Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of
the treble, midrange (type 2 only), and
bass levels. In fact, different kinds of mu-
sic and vocal programs usually sound bet-
ter with different mixes of treble, midrange
and bass.
You can adjust sound characteristics. Dif-
ferent sound characteristics can be re-
corded for each audio source.Balance
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound
levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to
a stereo recording or broadcast, changing
the right/left balance will increase the vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of other.
YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
Your vehicle has an antenna printed on
the inside of the rear window.
NOTICE
Putting a film (especially a conductive
or metallic film) on the rear window
will noticeably reduce the sensitivity
of the radio.
YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER (type 1)
When you insert a disc, gently push it in
with the label side up. The compact disc
player will play from track 1 through to
the end of the disc. Then it will play from
track 1 again.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any
part of the compact disc player. Do
not insert anything other than com-
pact discs into the slot.
8 cm (3 in.) compact disc singles
Your compact disc player does not need
an adaptor to play compact disc singles.
Compact disc singles are about 8 cm (3
in.) in diameter−smaller than standard
discs.
NOTICE
Do not use an adaptor for compact
disc singles—it could cause tracking
errors or interfere with the ejection of
compact discs.
