When driving
AVENSIS_OM_OM20B88E_(EE)
Idling time before engine stop (diesel engine)
To prevent damage to the turbocharger, allow the engine to idle immediately
after high-speed driving or hill climbing.
Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. (P. 729)
When driving up steep hills in high temperature conditions
Engine output may be intentionally restrained on vehicles with the 2AD-FHV
engine and automatic transmission to protect the engine and its compo-
nents. Following may occur, but they do not indicate a malfunction:
You may experience a drop in speed.
Air conditioning system control may be changed.
For example, the button to switch between outside air mode and recircu-
lated air mode will be fixed in recirculated air mode.

348 2-5. Driving information
AVENSIS_OM_OM20B88E_(EE)Transmission information
Multidrive or automatic transmission
To maintain engine braking efficiency, when using engine brak-
ing, do not use the transmission in “D”. Select an appropriate
gear in “M” mode.
Manual transmission
To maintain engine braking efficiency, when using engine brak-
ing, do not use the transmission in “6”.
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
engine coolant temperature gauge indicates that the engine is
overheating, turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the
road and stop the vehicle in a safe place. (P. 714)
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 Multidrive or automatic transmission, and “1” or “R” for man-
ual transmission.
