Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota
contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the
airbags and pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an
accident such as fire. Be sure to have thesystems of the SRS
airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, before you dispose of your vehicle.
Multi−mode manual transmission
driving tips
(Models equipped with multi−mode manual
transmission only)
The multi−mode manual transmission is a 5−speed forward/reverse
transmission and to do the clutch operation and gear shift
electronically having the basic features of the conventional manual
transmission.
This system has two driving modes. Easy (E) mode automatically
selects an appropriate gear position in accordance with an
accelerator pedal operation and a vehicle speed variation. Manual
(M) mode allows the driver to shift the gear using the shift lever.
To understand the uniquesystem andoperation method of the
multi−mode manual transmission, read Section 1−7 on page 139
thoroughly before driving. For starting procedures, see “How to
start the engine” on page 210 in Section 3.

GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS131
(f) Malfunction Indicator Lamp
This lamp warns that there is a problem
somewhere in your engine electrical sys-
tem.
If it comes on while you are driving, have
your vehicle checked/repaired by any au-
thorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional, as soon as possible.
On some models—
This lamp comes on in the following
cases.
a. There is a problem somewhere in your
engine, automatic transmission electri-
cal system or electronic throttle control
system.
b. The fuel tank is completely empty.
(See “Fuel gauge” on page 124 in this
Section for instructions.)
If it comes on while you are driving in
case a, have your vehicle checked/re-
paired by any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, as soon as pos-
sible.
Vehicles with multi−mode manual transmis-
sion or vehicle stability control system—
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 Toyota
checked by any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, as soon as pos-
sible.
Even if the abnormality of the electronic
throttle control system is corrected during
low speed driving, thesystem may not be
recovered until the engine is stopped and
the engine switch is turned to “ACC” or
“LOCK” position.CAUTION
Be especially careful to prevent erro-
neous pedal operation.
(g) “STOP” Warning Light
This light will come on when the engine
switch is turned to the “ON” position. After
a few seconds, the light will blink. When
the engine is started, the light will go off.
This means thesystem of the “STOP”
warning operating properly.
This light blinks in the following cases:
DWhen the engine coolant temperature
becomes high and the engine coolant
temperature warning light blinks. If the
engine coolant temperature rises fur-
ther, the engine coolant temperature
warning light remains on and at the
same time, the “STOP” warning light
blinks. In such cases, the engine is too
hot. If your vehicle overheats, stop the
vehicle and allow the engine to cool
down.
DWhen the engine oil pressure is too
low, the low engine oil pressure warn-
ing light comes on and at the same
time, the “STOP” warning light blinks.
In this case, pull off the road to a safe
place and stop the engine immediately.
Call any authorized Toyota dealer or re-
pairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, for assistance.
(h) Low Fuel Level Warning Light and
Buzzer
The warning light blinks and the warning
buzzer comes on when the fuel level in
the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up
the tank as soon as possible.
On incline or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the fuel tank, the warning
light may blinks and the warning buzzer
may come on earlier than usual.

“START”—Starter motor on. The key
will return to the “ON” position when
released.
For starting tips, see page 209 in Section
3.
“ON”
—Engine on and all accessories on.
This is the normal driving position.“ACC”—Accessories such as the radio
operate, but the engine is off.
“LOCK”—Engine is off and the steering
wheel is locked. The key can be re-
moved only at this position.
When the engine switch is turned from the
“ACC” to the “LOCK” position or 20 sec-
onds have elapsed since the engine
switch is turned from the “ON” to the
“ACC” position, the engine immobilizer
system is automatically set. (See “Engine
immobilizer system” onpage 13 in Section
1−2.)
When starting the engine, the engine
switch may seem stuck at the “LOCK”
position. To free it, first be sure the key
is pushed all the way in, and then rock
the steering wheel slightly while turning
the key gently.
It is not a malfunction if the needles on
all meters and gauges move slightly when
the engine switch is turned to the “ACC”,
“ON” or “START” position.
CAUTION
Never remove the key when the ve-
hicle is moving, as this will lock the
steering wheel and result in loss of
steering control.
NOTICE
Do not leave the engine switch in the
“ON” position if the engine is not
running. The battery will discharge
and the ignition could be damaged.

(d) Backing up
After the vehicle has stopped completely,
hold down the brake pedal and shift the
shift lever to “R” position. A reverse buzz-
er will sound once at this time. Depress
the accelerator pedal slowly as when
starting off. Before driving off, make sure
that the gear is in reverse by using the
gear position indicator.
When the gear cannot be engaged even
when the shift lever is shifted from “N” to
“R” position, the “N” indicator will blink
and a warning buzzer (long pulse sound)
will sound. Thesystem will re−try shifting
automatically, or the driver can shift the
shift lever to “N” position once, then shift
to “R” 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.
NOTICE
zThe system will not allow shifting
to the “R” position if the vehicle
speed is over 6 km/h (3 mph). In
case the shift lever is operated un-
der this condition, the “N” indicator
in the instrument cluster will blink.
However, when the vehicle speed
drops below 6 km/h (3 mph), the
gear is shifted to reverse. Make
sure that the vehicle has stopped
completely before shifting to the
“R” position.
zOn an uphill, never hold the vehicle
stop only by the accelerator pedal
operation or when the starting as-
sist system is being activated.
Otherwise the warning buzzer
(pulse sound) will sound and the
clutch may be damaged. In such a
case, pull over and shift the shift
lever to the “N” position. Wait for
around 15 minutes to cool the
clutch before starting again.
zIf the gear cannot be engaged to
reverse when the shift lever is
shiftedfromthe“N”to“R”posi-
tion, try to shift the shift lever to
the “N” position once, then shift it
to “R” position a few seconds later.

(e) Stopping
The vehicle can be stopped by depressing
the brake pedal regardless of the gear
position. This is because the clutch is
automatically disengaged to prevent the
engine from stopping. If the shift lever is
in the “E” position, the gear will be down-
shifted to 1st when the vehicle stops.
In case the driver ’s door is opened with
the gear in “E”, “M” or “R” position and
without depressing the brake pedal, a
warning buzzer (long pulse sound) will
sound.
When the engine switch is “ON” and the
vehicle speed is slower than 9 km/h (5
mph), if the shift lever is in “N” position
and the brake pedal is released (not de-
pressed) for approximately 2 seconds, the
shift lever will be locked.
Shift lock system is designed for prevent-
ing the vehicle from starting off by the
unintended activation of the starting assist
system.
The shift lock can be released by de-
pressing the brake pedal without holding
the shift lever.
CAUTION
DWhen stopping, for example, at a
traffic light, be sure to depress the
brake pedal firmly. For your safety,
apply parking brake, too, when
stopping on a hill.
DWhen racing the engine, make sure
that the gear position is in the “N”
position by the gear position indica-
tor. In case the accelerator is oper-
ated with the gear in any other
position, the vehicle may move re-
sulting in an unexpected accident.
DDo not leave your vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is running.
DWhen leaving the vehicle, stop the
engine and park the vehicle with
the gear engaged. In case you need
to leave the vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brakes
firmly, and shift the shift lever in
the “N” position. When the driver ’s
door is opened with the shift lever
in the “E” position while stopping
with the engine running, warning
buzzer (long pulse sound) will
sound. If this happens on a hill
when starting off the vehicle, the
vehicle may move unexpectedly and
cause an accident.

allow operation of the shift lever
for a certain period of time, and the
gear may not be shifted appropri-
ately. Therefore, do not operate the
shift lever if not necessary.
(f) Parking
Unlike the automatic transmission, the
multi−mode manual transmission does not
have a parking position. The vehicle can
be parked with the shift lever in any posi-
tion.
1. Apply the parking brake firmly.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, shift
the shift lever in the “R” position on a
downhill or a level surface, and “E(1)”
position on an uphill by confirming the
gear position with the gear position in-
dicator.
3. Stop the engine.

2: Level or downhill
To stop the engine:
Check the transmission gear position by
the gear position indicator, then turn the
engine switch off to stop the engine. Re-
lease the brake pedal after a few sec-
onds. The shift lever will be locked in the
position just before the engine switch was
turned off.
You can check the gear position by the
gear position indicator within 5 seconds
after turning the engine switch off.
CAUTION
DIf the gear is not engaged properly
and completely before the engine
switch is turned off, the vehicle
may not be parked with the gear
engaged. Always confirm the gear
position with the gear position indi-
cator when parking.
DOn a level surface or a downhill,
the gear should be put in reverse,
and in the 1st on an uphill. Other-
wise, the vehicle may move, and
cause an unexpected accident. If
the gear is left in the “N” position,
the vehicle can not be parked with
the gear engaged.
