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.

vehicle overheats” on page 225 in Sec-
tion 4.
NOTICE
Continuing to drive when the engine
coolant temperature warning light is
blinking or the engine coolant temper-
ature warning light remains on and
the “STOP” warning light is blinking
at the same time, could result in the
engine overheating.
(j) “Multi−mode Manual Transmission”
Warning Light (Multi−mode manual
transmission only)
This light will come on when the engine
switch is turned to the “ON” position. After
a few seconds, the light will go off. This
means the multi−mode manual transmis-
sion system isoperating properly.
NOTICE
In case the Multi−mode manual trans-
mission warning light comes on, pull
over, stop the engine and contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and
equipped professional. Otherwise, the

Vehicles without vehicle stability control
system—
The light comes on when the engine
switch is turned to the “ON” position. If
the anti−lock brake system works properly,
the light turns off after a few seconds.
Thereafter, if the system malfunctions, the
light comes on again.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti−lock brake systemdoes not operate,
but the brake system stilloperates con-
ventionally.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti−lock brake systemdoes not operate
so that the wheels could lock up during
sudden braking or braking on slippery
road surfaces.

The multi−mode manual transmission is a
5−speed forward/reverse transmission.
With the basic features of the convention-
al manual transmission, the clutch opera-
tion and the transmission gear shift are
controlled electronically in the multi−mode
manual transmission.
The features are as follows:
DAny one of the driving modes, Easy
(E) mode or Manual (M) mode, can be
selected. Since this vehicle controls the
clutch operation in either mode, you do
not need to operate it by yourself.
DIn Easy (E) mode, the vehicle selects
the most appropriate gear position in
accordance with an accelerator pedal
operation and a vehicle speed varia-
tion. See “—Easy (E) mode” on page
141.
DIn Manual (M) mode, by controlling the
clutch operation and transmission gear
shift electronically, the gear position
can be shifted by operation of the shift
lever only. See “—Manual (M) mode”
on page 146.
DWhen starting the engine, always place
the shift lever in the “N” position and
hold down the brake pedal firmly. The
engine cannot be started unless the
shift lever is in the “N” position and
the brake pedal is held down.
DThis vehicle has a starting assist sys-
tem that helps the vehicle to start
smoothly by engaging the clutch. When
the shift lever is in position “M”, “E” or
“R”, the vehicle starts slowly without
depressing the accelerator pedal. The
assisting system is disabled if the
brake pedal is depressed or the park-
ing brake is applied.
DWhen stopping the vehicle, the gear
will be shifted to 1st after the vehicle
speed is reduced to a certain speed.

1st when the shift lever is shifted
from the “N” to “E” position, try to
shift the shift lever to the “N” posi-
tion once, then shift it to the “E”
position a few seconds later.
Do not operate the system in the fol-
lowing manners. A life cycle of the
clutch may be reduced. If you do
these operation, a warning buzzer will
sound.

(b) Starting off on an uphill/downhill
—Uphill
1. Apply the parking brake firmly so that
the vehicle does not roll backwards.
2. Shift the shift lever to the “E” position
while holding down the brake pedal.
Make sure that the gear position indi-
cator in the instrumental cluster dis-
plays 1st gear.
3. Release the brake pedal and depress
the accelerator pedal gradually, and
when the vehicle starts to move, re-
lease the parking brake and depress
the accelerator pedal to start off.—Downhill
1. Hold down the brake pedal and shift
the shift lever to the “E” position. Make
sure that the gear is in 1st by using
the gear position indicator.
2. Release the brake pedal and depress
the accelerator pedal slowly. Even
though the accelerator pedal is not de-
pressed, the clutch will be engaged
when the vehicle speed increases.
NOTICE
On an uphill, never hold the vehicle
stop only by the accelerator pedal op-
eration or when the starting assist
system is being activated. Otherwise
the warning buzzer (pulse sound) will
sound and the clutch may be dam-
aged. In such a case, pull over and
shift the shift lever to the “N” posi-
tion. Wait for around 15 minutes to
cool the clutch before starting again.
(c) Using engine braking
When driving on a downhill slope, down-
shifting and the use of the engine brake
is recommended.
By placing the shift lever to “M” position,
the Manual (M) mode is selected, and the
gear can be down shifted manually.
When the outside air temperature is ex-
tremely low, the gear may not downshift
from 2nd to 1st until the vehicle stops.
For details of shift down operation, refer
to the “—Manual (M) mode” on page 146.

(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.

NOTICE
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 shift lever is operated more
than necessary, the system may not
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.
MS16008
1: Uphill
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.

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
gear:
gear km/h (mph)
1 51 (31)
2 95 (59)
3 139 (86)
CAUTION
DBe careful when accelerating, up-
shifting, downshifting or braking on
a slippery surface. Sudden accelera-
tion or engine braking could cause
the vehicle to spin or skid.
DTo drive down a long or steep hill,
reduce your speed and downshift.
Remember, if you ride the brakes
excessively, they may overheat and
fail.
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 “M” 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.
NOTICE
zThe system will not allow shifting
up or down to a gear that would
cause engine over−revving or un-
der−revving. In case of selecting a
gear position that may cause over−
revving, a warning buzzer (short
pulse sound) will sound.
zFrequent downshifting (more than 3
positions continuously) causes the
reduction of transmission life.
(b) Starting off
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 “M”
position properly. When the shift lever
is shifted to “M” position, the gear will
be shifted to 1st. On a slippery sur-
face, it is possible to start off with the
gear in 2nd. To start off with the gear
in 2nd, shift the shift lever from “N” to
“M” position, then operate the lever to
“+” direction. The gear will be shifted
to 2nd. Before starting off, always
make sure that the gear is engaged by
the gear position indicator, then de-
press the accelerator pedal.
NOTICE
Do not use 2nd gear to start off in
situations where the clutch load is
present such as when facing uphill.
If the gear cannot be engaged to 1st
or 2nd when the shift lever is shifted
from the “N” to “M” position, the “N”
indicator will blink and a warning buzz-
er (long pulse sound) will sound. In
this case, the system will re−try shift-
ing or the driver can operate the shift
lever to shift, as follows.
