ENGINE (IGNITION) SWITCH, TRANSMISSION AND PARKING BRAKE141
—Easy (E) mode
MS16006a
When Easy (E) mode is being activated,
the most appropriate gear position is auto-
matically selected upon an operation of
the accelerator pedal and a variation of
the vehicle speed.
(a) Normal driving
1. Start the engine as instructed in “How
to start the engine” on page 210 in
Section 3.
2. With your foot holding down the brake
pedal, shift the shift lever to the “E”
position properly. When the shift lever
is shifted to “E” position, the gear will
beshiftedto1st.
If the gear cannot be engaged to 1st
when the shift lever is shifted from the
“N” to “E” position, the “N” indicator
will blink and a warning buzzer (long
pulse sound) will sound. At this time,
the system will re−try shifting automati-
cally, or the driver can shift the shift
lever to the “N” position once, then
shift to the “E” position again.
DThe system will re−try shifting automat-
ically. This will take some time, noise
may be heard from the gears, and shift
shock may occur. However, they do not
indicate malfunction.
3. Release the parking brake and brake
pedal.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal slowly.In case the transmission cannot be en-
gaged to a certain gear position during
shifting due to mechanical malfunction, the
gear will not be engaged and remains in
neutral. The “N” in the gear position indi-
cator will blink and a warning buzzer (long
pulse sound) will sound until the driver
shifts the shift lever to “N” position.
Unless the system recovers from the
above−mentioned condition (mechanical
malfunction), the gear will still remain in
neutral position even shifting the shift le-
ver to “E” or “M” position after the system
performs a re−try shifting. Contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional, as soon as possible to service
the vehicle.
When the gear jumped out of position
while driving, the gear is shifted to proper
gear position.
CAUTION
DDuring driving the vehicle, do not
shift the shift lever to “N”. The en-
gine brake may not work and you
may get involved in an unexpected
accident. If you return the shift le-
ver from “N” to “E” because of an
unintended shifting, the gear posi-
tion will be changed accordingly to
the current vehicle speed.
DDo not apply the parking brake
while driving. Otherwise, it could
cause a skid and you may get in-
volved in an unexpected accident.
DAlways keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This operation prevents the
vehicle starting by an unintended
activation of the starting assist sys-
tem.

(a) Upshift and downshift
Upshifting
Pull the shift lever to the “+” direction
and release it. Every time the lever is
operated, the transmission is upshifted
1 step in the order of 1st→2nd→
3rd→4th→5th gear.
Downshifting
Push the shift lever to the “−” direction
and release it. Every time the lever is
operated, the transmission is down-
shifted in the order of 5th→4th→
3rd→2nd→1st gear.
DTo shift down smoothly, the engine
runs fast in some cases. This is done
intentionally by the system and is not
a malfunction.
DWhen driving down a hill, downshift
and use the engine brakes appropriate-
ly. If necessary, continuous shifting
down is possible. However, if down-
shifting more than 3 steps continuously,
the gear shifting will take more time.
DWhen the outside air temperature is
extremely low, the gear may not down-
shift from 2nd to 1st until the vehicle
stops.
DWhen the gear is shifting, a noise can
be heard in some case. This is not a
malfunction.
DIn case the transmission cannot be en-
gaged to a certain gear position during
shifting due to mechanical malfunction,
the gear will not be engaged and re-
mains in neutral. The “N” in the gear
position indicator will blink and a warn-
ing buzzer (long pulse sound) will
sound until the driver shifts the shift
lever to “N” position.
Unless the system recovers from the
above−mentioned condition (mechanical
malfunction), the gear will still remain
in neutral position even shifting the
shift lever to “M” or “E” position after
the system performs a re−try shifting.
If such conditions continue, contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional, as soon as possible to
service the vehicle.
DWhen the gear jumped out of position
while driving, the gear is shifted to
proper gear position.
NOTICE
Manual (M) mode dose not shift up
the gear even if the engine speed
reaches the rev−limit.

INFORMATION BEFORE DRIVING YOUR TOYOTA203
If either of the following conditions oc-
curs, this indicates a malfunction some-
where in the components monitored by
the warning light system. Contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional, as soon as possible to
service the vehicle.
DThe light does not come on when the
engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position or remains on.
DThe light comes on while you are driv-
ing.
A warning light turning on briefly during
operation does not indicate a problem.
CAUTION
If the “ABS” warning light remains on
together with the brake system warn-
ing light, immediately stop your ve-
hicle at a safe place and contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
In this case, not only the anti−lock
brake system will fail but also the
vehicle will become extremely unsta-
ble during braking.
BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM
When you slam the brakes on, the
brake assist system judges as an emer-
gency stop and provides more powerful
braking for a driver who cannot hold
down the brake pedal firmly.
When you slam the brakes on, more pow-
erful braking will be applied. At this time,
you may hear a sound in the engine
compartment and feel the vibrations of the
brake pedal. This does not indicate a mal-
function.Vehicles with vehicle stability control sys-
tem—
The brake assist system becomesopera-
tive after the vehicle has accelerated to a
speed in excess of approximately 10 km/h
(6 mph). It stops operating when the ve-
hicle decelerates to a speed below
approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
For an explanation of thissystem’s warn-
ing light, see “Service reminder indicators
and warning buzzers” on page 127 in Sec-
tion 1−6.
