When to use the Stop & Start system
●If the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system and the shift lever is
shifted into a position other than N with the clutch pedal released, a buzzer
will sound and Stop & Start indicator will flash. This indicates that the engine
is only stopped by the Stop & Start system, not that the engine has been
turned off completely.
● 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.
● When the system cannot operate, is canceled, or is malfunctioning, warning
messages and the warning buzzer are used to inform the driver. ( →P. 529)
● Vehicles with smart entry and start system: Even if the engine switch is
pressed during an engine stop, the engine does not restart. Start the engine
by shifting the shift lever to N and performing a normal engine start opera-
tion.
● When the engine restarts after having been stopped by the Stop & Start sys-
tem, the power outlet may be temporar ily unusable, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
● Installation and removal of electrical components and wireless devices may
affect the Stop & Start system, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
■ If the windshield is fogged up while the engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system
Turn the windshield defogger on. (The engine will start due to the automatic
engine start function.) ( →P. 384, 391)
If the windshield fogs up frequently, press the Stop & Start cancel switch to
deactivate the system.
■ Air conditioning system while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start
system (vehicles with an air conditioning system)
While the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the air conditioning
system (cooling, heating and dehumidifying functions) is cancelled and it only
blows air or stops blowing air. In order to prevent the air conditioning system
from being cancelled, deactivate the Stop & Start system by pressing the Stop
& Start cancel switch.
