Auto power off function
Vehicles with a Multidrive
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode or IGNITION ON mode (the engine
is not running) for more than an hour with the shift lever in P, the engine
switch will automatically turn off.
Vehicles with a manual transmission
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode or IGNITION ON mode (the engine
is not running) for more than an hour, the engine switch will automatically turn
off.
However, this function cannot entirely prevent 12-volt battery discharge. Do
not leave the vehicle with the engine switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION
ON mode for long periods of time when the engine is not running.
Electronic key battery depletion
P. 162
Conditions affecting operation
P. 158
Notes for the entry function
P. 159
If the engine does not start
The engine immobilizer system may not have been deactivated. (P. 91)
Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
Vehicles with a Multidrive: Check that the shift lever is securely set in P. The
engine may not start if the shift lever is displaced out of P.
Vehicles without a multi-information display
The smart entry & start system indicator light (green) will flash quickly.
Vehicles with a multi-information display
“Shift to P position to Start” will be displayed on the multi-information dis-
play.

Driving
To enter 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode, shift the shift lever
to M. Gear steps can then be selected by operating the shift lever or
paddle shift switches (vehicles with a paddle shift switch), allowing
you to drive in the gear step of your choosing.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The gear changes once every time
the shift lever or paddle shift switch
is operated.
The selected gear step, from M1 to
M7, will be displayed in the meter.
*1: Vehicles with a multi-information
display
*2: Vehicles without a multi-informa-
tion display
However, even when in the M position, the gear steps will be auto-
matically changed if the engine speed is too high, or too low.
Gear step functions
You can choose from 7 levels of engine braking force.
A lower gear step will provide greater engine braking force than a higher
gear step, and the engine speed will also increase.
If the 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode indicator does not come
on even after shifting the shift lever to M
This may indicate a malfunction in the Multidrive system. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same manner as when
the shift lever is in D.)
When the vehicle comes to a stop with the shift lever in the M position
The transmission will automatically downshift to M1 once the vehicle is
stopped.
After a stop, the vehicle will start off in M1.
When the vehicle is stopped, the transmission is set at M1.

Driving
If the parking brake is set when the shift lever is in a position other than
N with engine running
When the driver’s door is opened
A buzzer will sound and the gear position will automatically change to N in
10 seconds.
When the driver’s door is closed
A buzzer will sound and the gear position will automatically change to N in
90 seconds.
If the M indicator does not come on even after shifting the shift lever to M
This may indicate a malfunction in the multi-mode manual transmission sys-
tem. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional immediately.
(In this situation, the vehicle will operate as if the shift lever is in E.)
If the N indicator is flashing
When shifting the shift lever:
Shift the shift lever to N. Wait a few seconds and shift the shift lever to the
desired position.
When the engine is turned off:
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position and shift the shift lever to N, and
then to the desired position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
Turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode and shift the shift lever to N,
and then to the desired position.
If the indicator still blinks after the above operations, shift the shift lever to N
and start the engine. Then, shift the shift lever to the desired position.
If the N indicator is flashing and the warning buzzer is beeping
Shift the shift lever to N, and then to E, M or R.
CAUTION
Gear Shift Indicator display
For safety, the driver should not look only at the display. Refer to the display
when it is safe to do so while considering actual traffic and road conditions.
Failure to do so may lead to an accident.

Driving
Cruise control can be set when
The shift lever is in D. (Multidrive)
The shift position is in D. (Hybrid transmission)
Gear step 4 or higher of M has been selected. (Multidrive)
Gear step 4 or higher of D has been selected by using the paddle shift.
(vehicles with a paddle shift switch)
Vehicle speed is above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can be accelerated normally. After acceleration, the set speed
resumes.
Even without canceling the cruise control, the set speed can be increased
by first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then pushing the
lever down to set the new speed.
Automatic cruise control cancelation
Cruise control will stop maintaining the vehicle speed in any of the following
situations.
Actual vehicle speed falls more than approximately 16 km/h (10 mph) below
the preset vehicle speed.
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
Actual vehicle speed is below approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
VSC is activated.
Speed limiter is activated (if equipped)
If the cruise control indicator light comes on in yellow (vehicles without
a multi-information display) or warning message for the cruise control is
shown on the multi-information display (vehicles with a multi-informa-
tion display)
Press the “ON-OFF” button once to deactivate the system, and then press
the button again to reactivate the system.
If the cruise control speed cannot be set or if the cruise control cancels imme-
diately after being activated, there may be a malfunction in the cruise control
system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
