NOTICE
■While driving the vehicle
●Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving, as this may restrain driving torque.
●Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress accelerator and brake pedals
together to hold the vehicle on a hill.
■When parking the vehicle
Always put the shift lever in “P”. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is acci-
dentally depressed.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for a
long time.
Doing so may damage the power steering pump.
●When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.

Engine (ignition) switch
Performing the following operations when carrying the electronic
key on your person starts the engine or changes “ENGINE START
STOP” switch modes.
■Starting the engine
Check that the parking brake is set.
Check that the shift lever is set in “P”.
Sit in the driver’s seat and firmly depress the brake pedal.
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch indicator turns green.
Press the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch.
The engine can be started
from any “ENGINE START
STOP” switch mode.
Continue depressing the brake
pedal until the engine is com-
pletely started. The engine will
crank until it starts or for up to
30 seconds, whichever is less.

■Changing “ENGINE START STOP” switch mode
Modes can be changed by pressing the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch with the brake pedal released. (The mode
changes each time the switch is pressed.)

Emergency flashers can be
used.
ACCESSORY mode
Some electrical components
such as the audio system can
be used.
The “ENGINE START STOP”
switch indicator turns amber.
IGNITION ON mode
All electrical components can
be used.
The “ENGINE START STOP”
switch indicator turns amber.
*:If the shift lever is in a position other than “P” when turning off the
engine, the “ENGINE START STOP” switch will be turned to
ACCESSORY mode, not to OFF.

■Auto power off function
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode for more than 20 minutes with the
shift lever in P, the “ENGINE START STOP” switch will automatically turn off.
However, this function cannot entirely prevent battery discharge. Do not
leave the vehicle with the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in ACCESSORY
mode for long periods of time when the engine is not running.

Automatic transmission
Select a shift position appropriate for the driving conditions.
■Shifting the shift lever
While the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION
ON mode, depress the brake pedal and move the shift
lever.
■Shift position uses
*1: Shifting to the “D” position allows the system to select a gear suitable
for the driving conditions. Setting the shift lever to the “D” position is
recommended for normal driving.
*2: Selecting shift ranges using “S” mode restricts the upper limit of the
possible gear ranges, controls engine braking forces, and prevents
unnecessary upshifting.

Changing shift ranges in “S” mode
Shift the shift lever to the “S” position and operate the shift lever.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The initial shift range in “S” mode is automatically set to “5” or “4”
according to the vehicle’s speed. However, the initial shift range may
be set to “3” or “2” if the AI-SHIFT has operated while the shift lever
was in the “D” position. (P. 175)

LC200_OM_OM60F57U_(U)■Shift ranges and their functions
●Automatically selecting gears between 1 and 6 according to
vehicle speed and driving conditions. But, the gear is limited
according to selected shift range.
●You can choose from 6 levels of engine braking force.
●A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking force than
a higher shift range, and the engine revolutions will also
increase.
■“S” mode
●When the shift range is “5” or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets
the shift range to “6”.
●To prevent excessive engine speed, a function was adopted that auto-
matically selects a higher shift range before the engine speed becomes
too high.
●To protect the automatic transmission, a function is adopted that auto-
matically selects a higher shift range when the fluid temperature is high.
■Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer (in the “S” 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 is operated. (The warning buzzer will
sound twice.)
■When driving with the cruise control or radar cruise control activated
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling
engine braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control or
radar cruise control will not be canceled.
●While driving in “S” mode, downshifting to “5” or “4”. (P. 210, 214)
●When switching the driving mode to power mode while driving in “D”
position. (P. 172)

■Second start mode automatic deactivation
Second start mode is automatically deactivated if the engine is turned off
after driving in second start mode.
■If the shift lever cannot be shifted from “P”
P. 6 4 9
■If the “S” indicator does not come on even after shifting the shift lever
to “S”
This may indicate a malfunction in the automatic transmission system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
(In this situation, the vehicle will operate as if the shift lever is in “D”.)
■AI-SHIFT
The AI-SHIFT automatically shifts the gear to the suitable position according
to the driver performance and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the “D” posi-
tion. (Shifting the shift lever to the “S” position cancels the function.)
