Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other
than a collision
The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the
underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.
Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front air-
bags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a
side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal
collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward
deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.
Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or
hard surface
Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
Landing hard or falling
Collision from the side
Collision from the rear
Vehicle rollover

NOTICE
When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may
cause the following serious damage to the vehicle:
Engine stalling
Short in electrical components
Engine damage caused by water immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be
sure to have any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional check the following:
Brake function
Changes in quantity and quality of engine oil, transaxle fluid, etc.
Lubricant condition for the bearings and suspension joints (where possi-
ble), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.

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 extremely high.
• 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.
• The air conditioning system is being used when the outside tempera-
ture or the engine coolant temperature is low.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system only: The wind-
shield defogger is being used.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged.
• 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.
When the above conditions improve, the Stop & Start system will stop and
restart the engine from the next time the vehicle is stopped.
Automatic engine start function
In the following situations, the engine may start even without the clutch pedal
being depressed (vehicles with a manual transmission) or brake pedal being
released (vehicles with a Multidrive).
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 windshield
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.
Vehicles with a Multidrive: The driver’s door is opened.
Vehicles with a Multidrive: The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.

Stop & Start system warning buzzer
If the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system and either of the following
actions is performed, a buzzer will sound and the Stop & Start indicator will
flash (vehicles with a Multidrive), or a buzzer will sound (vehicles with a
manual transmission). This indicates that the engine is only stopped by the
Stop & Start system, not that the engine has been turned off completely.
Vehicles with a Multidrive: The driver’s door is opened when the shift
lever is in D or M.
Vehicles with a Multidrive: The shift lever is shifted into a position other
than N or P with the brake pedal released.
Vehicles with a manual transmission: The shift lever is shifted into a posi-
tion other than N with the clutch pedal released.
If the Stop & Start cancel indicator light continues to flash
The Stop & Start system may be malfunctioning. Contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
If the windshield is fogged up while the engine is stopped by the Stop
& Start system
Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system: Turn the windshield
defogger on. (The engine will start due to the automatic engine start func-
tion.) (P. 271)
Vehicles with a manual air conditioning system: Restart the engine by
depressing the clutch pedal (vehicles with a manual transmission) or
releasing brake pedal (vehicles with a Multidrive) (P. 227) or by press-
ing the Stop & Start cancel switch, and then set the air outlet selection
dial to . (P. 263)
If the windshield fogs up frequently, press the Stop & Start cancel switch to
deactivate the system.

Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropri-
ate to the prevailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician inspect the level and specific grav-
ity of battery electrolyte.
Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set
of tire chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand and that their wear
level is not noticeably different with each other. Also make sure that
chains match the size of the tires.
Before driving the vehicle
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is
frozen. Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice.
Wipe away the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents
in front of the windshield.
Remove any ice that has accumulated on the vehicle chassis.
Periodically check for and remove any excess ice or snow
that may have accumulated in the wheel well or on the
brakes.

When driving
VERSO-S_EETransmission information
Vehicles with a Multidrive and multi-mode manual transmis-
sion
Select an appropriate gear in M mode to maintain the effectiveness
of engine braking and to maintain charging system performance.
Vehicles with a manual transmission
Refrain from driving in 6th gear to maintain the effectiveness of
engine braking and to maintain charging system performance.
If the engine overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long, steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30C (85F) may result in the engine overheating. If the
high engine coolant temperature warning light flashes or comes
on, turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the road and
stop the vehicle in a safe place. (P. 497)
When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under the wheels of both the vehicle
and trailer. Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P
for Multidrives, E, M or R for multi-mode manual transmissions,
and 1 or R for manual transmissions.
