NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
●Do not leave the engine switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode
for long periods of time without the engine running.
●Vehicles with a 3-ring meter: If the smart entry & start system indicator
light (green) is illuminated, the engine switch is not off. When exiting the
vehicle, always check that the engine switch is off.
●Vehicles with a 2-ring meter: If “Power ON.” is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display, the engine switch is not off. When exiting the vehicle,
always check that the engine switch is off.
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: Do not stop the engine when the shift lever is in
a position other than P. If the engine is stopped in another shift lever posi-
tion, the engine switch will not be turned off but instead be turned to
ACCESSORY mode. If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode, battery
discharge may occur.
■When starting the engine
●Do not race a cold engine.
●If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehi-
cle checked by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional immediately.
■Symptoms indicating a malfunction with the engine switch
If the engine switch seems to be operating somewhat differently than usual,
such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunction. Contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional immediately.

Driving
To drive in temporary gear steps selection mode, operate the “-” and
“+” paddle shift switches. The gear steps can then be selected by
operating the “-” and “+” paddle shift switches. By selecting gear step
using paddle shift switches, you can control engine braking forces.

Downshifting
The selected gear step, from D1 to
D7, will be displayed in the meter.

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 or paddle shift switches (vehicles with a paddle shift switch),
allowing you to drive in the gear step of your choosing.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The gear changes once every time
the shift lever or paddle shift switch
is operated.
The selected gear step, from M1 to
M7, will be displayed in the meter.
*1: Vehicles with a 3-ring meter
*2: Vehicles with a 2-ring 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 dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same manner as when
the shift lever is in D.)
■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.

◆Pre-crash warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, a buzzer will
sound and a warning message
will be displayed on the multi-
information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.
◆Pre-crash brake assist
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with a vehicle is high, the system applies greater braking force
in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
◆Pre-crash braking
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with a vehicle is high, the system warns the driver. If the sys-
tem determines that the possibility of a collision is extremely high,
the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or
reduce the collision speed.
PCS (Pre-Crash Safety system)
: If equipped
The pre-crash safety system uses the front sensor to detect
vehicles in front of your vehicle. When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle is high, a
warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action and
the potential brake pressure is increased to help the driver avoid
the collision. If the system determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision with a vehicle is extremely high, the brakes are
automatically applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision.
The pre-crash safety system can be disabled/enabled and the warn-
ing timing can be changed. (P. 261)
