shift lever in P, the engine switch will automatically turn off.  
Vehicles with a 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 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.

■ 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. 
■ When driving with cruise control, dynamic radar cruise control or 
dynamic radar cruise control with  full-speed range activated (if 
equipped) 
Even when performing the following with the intent of enabling engine brak- 
ing, engine braking will not activate because cruise control, dynamic radar 
cruise control or dynamic radar cruise  control with full-speed range will not be 
canceled. 
● When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in D position. 
( P. 385) 
■ Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer 
To help ensure safety and driving per formance, downshifting operation may 
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be 
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.) 
■ Shift lock system 
The shift lock system is a system to prevent accidental operation of the shift 
lever in starting. 
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in the 
“ON” position (vehicles without a smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON 
mode (vehicles with a smart entry & start system), and the brake pedal is
being depressed.

■Cruise control can be set when
Vehicles with a Multidrive 
● The shift lever is in D. 
● Vehicle speed is above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
Vehicles with a manual transmission 
Vehicle speed is above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph). 
■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed 
● The vehicle can be accelerated by operating accelerator pedal. After accel- 
erating, the set speed resumes. 
● Even without canceling the cruise control, the set speed can be increased 
by first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then pushing the 
lever down to set the new speed. 
■ Automatic cruise control cancelation 
Cruise control is automatically canceled in any of the following situations. 
● Actual vehicle speed falls more than approximately 16 km/h (10 mph) below 
the set speed.  
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained. 
● Actual vehicle speed is below approximately 40 km/h (25 mph). 
● VSC is activated. 
● TRC is activated for a period of time. 
● When the VSC or TRC system is turned off by pressing the VSC off switch. 
● Speed limiter is activated. (if equipped) 
■ If “Check cruise control system visit your dealer” is displayed on the 
multi-information display 
Press the “ON-OFF” button once to deactivate the system, and then press 
the button again to reactivate the system. 
If the cruise control speed cannot be set or if the cruise control cancels imme- 
diately after being activated, there may be a malfunction in the cruise control
system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■Driving modes 
● “NORMAL” mode 
Provides an optimal balance of fuel economy, quietness, and 
dynamic performance. Suitable for city driving. 
● “SPORT” mode 
Controls the transmission and engine to provide quick, powerful 
acceleration. This mode also changes the steering feel, making it 
suitable for when agile driving response is desired, such as when 
driving on roads with many curves.
When sport mode is selected, the “SPORT” indicator will illuminate 
on the multi-information display.
● “ECO” mode 
Helps the driver accelerate in an eco-friendly manner and 
improve fuel economy through moderate throttle characteristics 
and by controlling the operation of the air conditioning system 
(heating/cooling).
When Eco mode is selected, the “ECO  MODE” indicator will illumi- 
nate on the multi-information display. 
While the air conditioning is being used, the system automatically 
switches to air conditioning eco mode ( P. 573), allowing for driving 
that leads to even better fuel economy.
■ When canceling “ECO” mode/ “SPORT” mode 
● Select the drive mode again. Also, “SPORT” mode will be canceled auto- 
matically when the engine switch is turned off. 
● However, “NORMAL” mode and “ECO” mode will not be canceled automati- 
cally until another drive mode is selected, even if the engine switch is turned
off.

than R when starting off forward on an upward incline, or the shift lever is in 
R when starting off backward on an upward incline. 
● The vehicle is stopped. 
● The accelerator pedal is not depressed. 
● The parking brake is not engaged. 
■ Automatic system cancelation of hill-start assist control 
The hill-start assist control will turn off in any of the following situations: 
● Vehicles with a Multidrive: The shift lever is shifted to P or N. 
● Vehicles with a manual transmission: The shift lever is shifted to R when 
starting off forward on an upward incline, or the shift lever is shifted to other 
than R when starting off backward on an upward incline. 
● The accelerator pedal is depressed. 
● The parking brake is engaged. 
● Approximately 2 seconds elapse after the brake pedal is released.
