■ Steering lock motor overheating prevention
To prevent the steering lock motor from overheating, the motor may be sus-
pended if the engine is turned on and off repeatedly in a short period of time.
In this case, refrain from operating the engine. After about 10 seconds, the
steering lock motor will resume functioning.
■ When “Entry & Start System Malfunction. See Owner’s Manual.” is dis-
played on the multi-information display
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer
immediately.

To enter 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode, shift the shift lever
to M position. Gear steps can then be selected by operating the shift
lever, allowing you to drive in the gear step of your choosing.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The gear changes once every time
the shift lever is operated.
The selected gear step, from M1 to
M7, will be displayed in the meter.
However, even when in the M position, the gear steps will be automat-
ically 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 retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same manner as when
the shift lever is in D.)

■ When iMT does not operate
In the following situations, iMT may not operate. However, this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
● The shift lever is not operated for a long time after the clutch pedal is
depressed.
● The vehicle moves for a while after the shift lever is shifted to N and the
clutch pedal is released, and then the clutch pedal is depressed and the
shift lever is moved to a position.
● The clutch pedal is not completely released and depressed again
● The clutch pedal is not fully depressed
■ If the warning message for iMT is shown on the multi-information dis-
play
iMT may be malfunctioning and the function is disabled. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
WARNING
■ 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.
■ Limitations of the iMT
iMT is not a system that prevents shift lever operation error or engine over-
revving.
Depending on the situation, iMT may not operate normally and the shift
position may not be changed smoothly. Overly relying on iMT may cause an
unexpected accident.

■Automatic turn-off of RSA sign display
One or more signs automatically turn off in the following situations.
● A new sign is not recognized for a certain distance.
● The road changes due to a left or right turn, etc.
■ Conditions in which the function may not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not operate normally and may not rec-
ognize signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
● The camera sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to
the sensor, etc.
● Dirt, snow, stickers, etc., are on the windshield near the camera sensor.
● In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
● Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, etc., enters the camera sensor.
● The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent, and if an electronic sign, the contrast
is poor.
● All or part of the sign is hidden by the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.
● The sign is only visible to the camera sensor for a short amount of time.
● The driving scene (turning, lane change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.
● Even if it is a sign not appropriate for the currently traveled lane, such a sign
exists directly after a freeway branches, or in an adjacent lane just before
merging.
● Stickers are attached to the rear of the preceding vehicle.
● A sign resembling a system compatible sign is recognized.
● The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic.
● Side road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if positioned in sight
of the camera sensor) while the vehicle is traveling on the main road.
● Roundabout exit road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if posi-
tioned in sight of the camera sensor) while traveling on a roundabout.
● The speed information displayed on the meter and that displayed on the
navigation system (if equipped) may be different due to the navigation sys-
tem using map data.
