Speed limiter can be set when
The speed limiter can be set at any vehicle speed. However, if the speed lim-
iter is set while the vehicle speed is below 30 km/h (18 mph), the speed lim-
iter will be set to 30 km/h (18 mph).
Exceeding the set speed
In the following situation, the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed and
multi-information display characters will flash:
Automatic speed limiter cancelation
The set speed is automatically canceled when the cruise control is activated.
CAUTION
To avoid operating the speed limiter by mistake
Switch the speed limiter off using the speed limiter switch when not in use.
Situations unsuitable for the speed limiter
Do not use the speed limiter in either of the following situations.

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.

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.

Disabling the Stop & Start system
Press the Stop & Start cancel
switch to disable the Stop & Start
system.
The stop & start cancel indicator
will come on.
The engine will not stop at each

cles with a Multidrive) or clutch
pedal (vehicles with a manual
transmission) is depressed to
stop the engine (P. 316).
Pressing the switch again to re-
enable the Stop & Start system.
Restarting the engine
Vehicles with a Multidrive
Release the brake pedal. When the shift lever is in N or P,
depress brake pedal and shift the shift lever to D or M.
The engine will restart. The Stop & Start indicator will go off.
Vehicles with a manual transmission
Check that the shift lever is in N and depress the clutch pedal.
The engine will restart. The Stop & Start indicator will go off. (In this
situation, releasing the clutch pedal will not stop the engine again.)

318 2-4. Using other driving systems
YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52D27E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.
• The accelerator pedal is not being depressed.
• The shift lever is not in R.
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 or transmission fluid temperature is too
low or too 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.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system only: The wind-
shield defogger is being used.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged, or is undergoing a periodic
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 pedal is not depressed firmly.

YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52D27E
• The vehicle is stopped on a steep hill.
• 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.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
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
is turned off then the engine is started.

The Stop & Start system protection feature
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
When an excessively loud sound is being projected by the audio system, the
audio system may be automatically cut off in order to maintain power for the
Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the engine switch to the “LOCK” position then to the
“ACC” or “ON” position re-enables the audio system.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
When an excessively loud sound is being projected by the audio system, the
audio system may be automatically cut off in order to maintain power for the
Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off then to ACCES-
SORY mode or IGNITION ON mode re-enables the audio system.
Steering wheel operation
When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel
may become heavier than when driving.
Hood
If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system,
the engine cannot be restarted by the Stop & Start system or by the auto-
matic engine start function. Restart the engine with the engine switch opera-
tion. (P. 222, 226)
Vehicles with a Multidrive: If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system and the shift lever is in N or P, the engine will
restart.
Hill-start assist control (vehicles with a Multidrive)
On a steep uphill grade, the vehicle may roll backward after hill-start
assist control is released. In this situation, apply the parking brake and
operate the brake pedal when putting the vehicle in motion.
This system operates on flat surfaces as well as steep grades.
When the engine is stopped due to Stop & Start system operation, the
force required to depress the brake pedal may change, but this is not a
malfunction.
When to use the Stop & Start system
Use the Stop & Start system when stopping the vehicle temporarily at red
lights, intersections, etc. When stopping the vehicle for a longer period of
time, turn off the engine completely.
