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 without a multi-informa-
tion display
*2: Vehicles with a multi-information
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.

The ABS, VSC, VSC+ or TRC is operating.
Except hybrid model: The shift lever is shifted to R during detection of a
parking space.
Hybrid model: The shift position is shifted to R during detection of a parking
space.
Except hybrid model: The shift lever is shifted to R and the vehicle is
reversed 1 m (3 ft.) or more after a parking space has been detected and
before the buzzer sounds.
Hybrid model: The shift position is shifted to R and the vehicle is reversed 1
m (3 ft.) or more after a parking space has been detected and before the
buzzer sounds.
The steering wheel is operated manually during automatic steering.
Except hybrid model: It takes more than 6 minutes for automatic steering to
begin after the Simple-IPA switch is turned on and the shift lever is shifted to
R.
Hybrid model: It takes more than 6 minutes for automatic steering to begin
after the Simple-IPA switch is turned on and the shift position is shifted to R.
Except hybrid model: The shift lever is shifted to a position other than R after
the automatic steering began and before the vehicle enters a parking space.

UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)Resume function of Simple-IPA
If Simple-IPA is canceled due to one of the following operations, Simple-IPA
operation may be able to be resumed by pressing the Simple-IPA switch
depending on conditions such as the vehicle stopped position and steering
wheel angle.
The steering wheel is operated manually during automatic steering.
The vehicle speed exceeds 6 km/h (3 mph) during automatic steering.
Except hybrid model: The shift lever is moved to a position other than R
after the automatic steering began and before the vehicle enters a parking
space.
Hybrid model: The shift position is moved to a position other than R after the
automatic steering began and before the vehicle enters a parking space.
If operation is not resumed, park the vehicle manually or detect another park-
ing space.
When using Simple-IPA repeatedly
When Simple-IPA is used repeatedly, the power steering may overheat tem-
porarily. It may deactivate or cancel Simple-IPA operation. In this case, wait a
few minutes before using Simple-IPA again.
Toyota parking assist-sensor operation during Simple-IPA operation
Even if the Toyota parking assist-sensor switch is turned off while Simple-IPA
is activated, the Toyota parking assist-sensor will keep operating. In this case,
when Simple-IPA operation is complete or canceled, the Toyota parking
assist-sensor will be deactivated.
Stop & Start system operation during Simple-IPA operation (vehicles
with a Stop & Start system)
The Stop & Start system does not operate during Simple-IPA operation. If the
Simple-IPA switch is turned on during Stop & Start system operation, Stop &
Start system operation will be canceled.
When the cabin temperature is high
The sensors may not work properly when the cabin temperature is high due
to parking the vehicle in the sun. Use Simple-IPA after the cabin cools down.

Operating conditions
The Stop & Start system is operational when all of the following conditions
are met:
• The engine is adequately warmed up.
• The 12-volt battery is sufficiently charged.
• The driver's door is closed.
• The driver's seat belt is fastened.
• The hood is closed.
• The clutch pedal is not being depressed.
• The shift lever is in N.
In the following circumstances the engine may not be stopped by the Stop &
Start system. This is not a malfunction of the Stop & Start system.
• Engine coolant temperature is too low or too high.
• Diesel engine: The outside temperature is too low.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system: The air conditioning
system is being used when the vehicle interior temperature is extremely
high such as after the vehicle was parked under the hot sun.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system only: The windshield
defogger is being used.
• Vehicles with a power heater: The power heater is being used.
• The 12-volt battery is not sufficiently charged, or is undergoing a peri-
odic recharge.
• Due to traffic or other circumstances the vehicle is stopped repeatedly,
resulting in the amount of time the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start
system to become excessively high.
• 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, it may take longer than normal for the Stop & Start
system to activate.
• The 12-volt battery is discharged.
• After the 12-volt battery terminals have been disconnected and recon-
nected after a 12-volt battery replacement, etc.
• The engine coolant temperature is low.
