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.
• The hood is closed.
● In the following circumstances the engine may not be stopped by the
Stop & Start system and the “ECO OFF” indicator will come on. 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 indicator
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 is 8 °C (46 °F) or lower.
• 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.

Transmission information
To maintain engine braking efficiency, when using engine braking,
do not use the transmission in “6” gear. ( →P. 189)
■ 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. 493)
■ 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
“1” or “R”.

■Power heater can be operated when
●The engine is running.
● The outside temperature is low.
● The engine coolant temperature is low.
■ Normal characteristics of power heater operation
The following cases do not indicate a malfunction.
● When the power heater is turned on or off, some white smoke and a
slight odor may be emitted from the power heater exhaust that is located
under the floor.
● When the power heater is being used under extremely cold conditions,
vapor may be visible from its exhaust.

4-2. Maintenance
URBAN CRUISER_OM_OM52F47E_(EE)
■ Does your vehicle need repair?
Be on the alert for changes in performance and sounds, and visual tip-offs
that indicate service is needed. Some important clues are:
●Engine missing, stum bling, or pinging
● Appreciable loss of power
● Strange engine noises
● A fluid leak under the vehicle (However , water dripping from the air condi-
tioning after use is normal.)
● Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon mon-
oxide leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system
checked immediately.)
● Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear
● Vehicle pulls to one side when driving straight on a level road
● Strange noises related to suspension movement
● Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy feeling brake pedal, pedal almost
touches the floor, vehicle pulls to one side when braking
● Engine coolant temperature continually higher than normal
If you notice any of these clues, take your vehicle to any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional, as
soon as possible. Your vehicle may need adjustment or repair.

■ Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from
getting in the eyes.
NOTICE
■ If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear
due to dirt in the air. Also a backfire could cause a fire in the engine compart-
ment.
■ If the brake fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious problem.
