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 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 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.)

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 oper-
ation 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.
While the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the Stop &

Disabling the Stop & Start system
Press the Stop & Start cancel
switch to disable the Stop & Start
system.
The engine will not stop at each
stop when the clutch pedal (vehi-
cles with a manual transmission)
or brake pedal (vehicles with a
Multidrive) is depressed to stop
the engine (P. 226).
Pressing the switch again to re-
enable the Stop & Start system.
If the Stop & Start cancel switch is pressed while the vehicle is
stopped
When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, press-
ing the Stop & Start cancel switch will restart the engine.
From the next time the vehicle is stopped (after Stop & Start sys-
tem has been turned off), the engine will not be stopped.
With the Stop & Start system disabled, pressing the Stop & Start
cancel switch will re-enable the system but not stop the engine.
From the next time the vehicle is stopped (after Stop & Start sys-
tem has been turned on), the engine will be stopped.
Operating conditions
The Stop & Start system is operational when all of the following condi-
tions are met:
• The engine is adequately warmed up.
• The battery is sufficiently charged.
• The driver's door is closed.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
• The hood is closed.

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.
