Shift position purpose
*1: The most appropriate gear is automatically selected upon an opera-
tion of the accelerator pedal and vehicle speed.
*2: A gear must be selected manually. However, the gear may automati-
cally be changed down optimally according to vehicle speed.

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 transmission will operate in the same manner as when
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. Depress the brake pedal and shift the shift lever to N,
and then to the desired position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: Turn the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode. Depress the brake pedal and shift
the shift lever to N, and then to the desired position.
If the indicator still flashes 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 warning buzzer is beeping
Shift the shift lever to N, and then to E, M or R.
Reverse warning buzzer
When shifting into R, a buzzer will sound to inform the driver that the shift
lever is in R.
Downshift restriction warning buzzer (in E mode [when the paddle shift
switches are operated] or M mode)
To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever or paddle shift switches are operated. (A
buzzer will sound twice.)

Shifting the shift lever
Vehicles with a 5-speed transmission
Fully depress the clutch pedal before operating the shift lever, and
then release it slowly.
If it is difficult to shift in reverse, shift the shift lever to N, release the clutch
pedal momentarily, and then try again.

Adjusting the set speed
To change the set speed, operate the lever until the desired set
speed is obtained.
Increases the speed
Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Momentarily
move the lever in the desired
direction.
Large adjustment: Hold the
lever in the desired direction.
The set speed will be increased or decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By approximately 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time the
lever is operated.
Large adjustment: The set speed can be increased or decreased con-
tinually until the lever is released.
Canceling and resuming the constant speed control
Pulling the lever toward you
cancels the constant speed
control.
The speed setting is also can-
celed when the brakes are
applied or the clutch pedal
(manual transmission only) is
depressed.
Pushing the lever up
resumes the constant
speed control.
Resuming is available when
the vehicle speed is more than
approximately 40 km/h (25
mph).

Stop & Start system
: If equipped
Vehicles with a Multidrive:
The Stop & Start system stops and restarts the engine according to
the brake pedal and shift lever operation for stopping and starting
the vehicle.
Vehicles with a manual transmission:
The Stop & Start system stops and restarts the engine according to
the clutch pedal operation for stopping and starting the vehicle.
Stopping the engine
Vehicles with a Multidrive
While driving in D or M, depress the brake pedal fully, and
stop the vehicle.
The engine will stop and the
Stop & Start indicator will
come on.
When the shift lever is in N or
P, the engine will remain
stopped without depressing
the brake pedal.
Vehicles with a manual transmission
With the clutch pedal fully depressed, stop the vehicle.
Then shift the shift lever to N.
Release the clutch pedal.
The engine will stop and the
Stop & Start indicator will come
on.

• The brake booster vacuum is low.
• A large amount of electricity is being used.
• At high altitude.
When the above conditions improve, the Stop & Start system will stop and
restart the engine from the next time the vehicle is stopped.
In the following situations, the engine may start even without the brake
pedal being released (vehicles with a Multidrive) or clutch pedal being
depressed (vehicles with a manual transmission).
• The brake pedal is pumped or strongly depressed.
• The air conditioning system is being used or turned on.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system only: The wind-
shield defogger is turned on.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged.
• The vehicle starts to roll on an incline.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The hood is opened when the shift lever is in
N or P.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed.
• A large amount of electricity is being used.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The driver’s door is opened.

In the following situations, it may take longer than normal for the Stop &
Start system to activate.
• The battery is discharged.
• After the battery terminals have been disconnected and reconnected
after a battery replacement, etc.
• The engine coolant temperature is low.
Automatic reactivation of the Stop & Start system
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
Even if the Stop & Start system is disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch,
it will be automatically re-enabled once the engine switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position then to the “START” position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
Even if the Stop & Start system is disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch,
it will be automatically re-enabled once the “ENGINE START STOP” switch
