2344-1. Before driving
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12G88E)
Multi-mode manual transmission
With the brake pedal depressed, firmly set the parking brake and
shift the shift lever to E or M.
When shifting the shift lever to E: Make sure that the display of the gear
position indicator shows E.
When shifting the shift lever to M: Make sure that the display of the gear
position indicator shows 1.
Gently depress the accelerator pedal.
Release the parking brake.
Manual transmission
With the parking brake firmly set and the clutch pedal fully
depressed, shift the shift lever to 1.
Lightly depress the accelerator pedal at the same time as gradually
releasing the clutch pedal.
Release the parking brake.
When starting off on an uphill (vehicles with a hill-start assist control)
The hill-start assist control is available. (P. 380)
Driving in the rain
Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
Engine speed while driving (vehicles with a Multidrive)
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting control or down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.
The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
When the accelerator pedal is released
When the brake pedal is depressed while sport mode is selected

Auto power off function
Vehicles with a Multidrive
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode for more than 20 minutes or IGNI-
TION ON mode (the engine is not running) for more than an hour with the
shift lever in P, the engine switch will automatically turn off.
Vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission or manual transmission
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode for more than 20 minutes or IGNI-
TION ON mode (the engine is not running) for more than an hour, the engine
switch will automatically turn off.
However, this function cannot entirely prevent 12-volt battery discharge. Do
not leave the vehicle with the engine switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION
ON mode for long periods of time when the engine is not running.
Electronic key battery depletion
P. 168
Conditions affecting operation
P. 164
Notes for the entry function
P. 165
If the engine does not start
The engine immobilizer system may not have been deactivated. (P. 91)
Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
Vehicles with a Multidrive: Check that the shift lever is securely set in P. The
engine may not start if the shift lever is displaced out of P.
Vehicles without a multi-information display
The smart entry & start system indicator light (green) will flash quickly.
Vehicles with a multi-information display
“SHIFT TO P POSITION TO START” will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
Steering lock
After turning the engine switch off and opening and closing the doors, the
steering wheel will be locked due to the steering lock function. Operating the
engine switch again automatically cancels the steering lock.

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.

Shifting the shift lever
Shift position uses
*1: The most appropriate gear position is automatically selected according to
operation of the accelerator pedal and vehicle speed.
*2: A gear position must be selected manually. However, the gear position
may automatically be changed down optimally according to vehicle speed.

If the parking brake is set when the shift lever is in a position other than
N with engine running
When the driver’s door is opened
A buzzer will sound and the gear position will automatically change to N in
10 seconds.
When the driver’s door is closed
A buzzer will sound and the gear position will automatically change to N in
90 seconds.
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 vehicle will operate as if 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 a smart entry & start system:
Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position and shift the shift lever to N, and
then to the desired position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
Turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode and shift the shift lever to N,
and then to the desired position.
If the indicator still blinks 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 the warning buzzer is beeping
Shift the shift lever to N, and then to E, M or R.
CAUTION
Gear Shift Indicator display
For safety, the driver should not look only at the display. Refer to the display
when it is safe to do so while considering actual traffic and road conditions.
Failure to do so may lead to an accident.
