When the ignition is on, a message appears in the instrument panel screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating fault
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P to R and from N to R. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox.Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting.Have it checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
You risk damaging the gearbox:- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time (braking or acceleration must be done only with the right foot),- if you force the selector from position P to another position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the engine running (traffic jam...), position the selector at N and apply the parking brake.
Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point may be noticed when moving to position P.If the selector is not in position P, when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is an audible signal and a message appears.F Return the selector to position P; the audible signal stops and the message disappears.
Before switching off the engine, select position P then apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
In all circumstances, ensure that the selector is in position P before leaving your vehicle.
On a steep slope with a loaded vehicle, press the brake pedal, select position P, apply the parking brake then release the brake pedal.

Temporary manual control of gear changes
You can temporarily take control of gear changes using the "+" and "-" steering mounted control paddles. The gear change instruction is acted on if the engine speed permits.This function allows you to anticipate certain situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or approaching a bend in the road.Following a few moments with no action on the control paddles, the gearbox returns to automatic operation.
Manual operation
AUTO disappears and the gears engaged are displayed successively
in the instrument panel.
F After starting the engine, select position M for sequential gear changing
The change from one gear to another takes place only if the conditions of vehicles speed and engine speed
permit; if not, the automatic operation laws are applied temporarily.
F Operate the "+" or "-" steering mounted control paddle.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator during gear changes.When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically to allow the vehicle to accelerate in the correct gear.
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will not change up unless the driver acts on the steering mounted paddles.Never select neutral N when drivingOnly engage reverse R with the vehicle stationary and your foot on the brake.

At low speed, if reverse gear is requested, the N indicator flashes and the gearbox goes into neutral automatically. To engage reverse, move the selector to position N, then position R.
When immobilising the vehicle, with the engine running, you must move the selector to neutral N.Before doing anything under the bonnet ensure that the selector is in neutral N
and that the parking brake is applied.

Stop & StartGoing into engine
STOP mode
If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, its speed must be below 12 mph (20 km/h) or stationary (depending on engine); the "ECO" indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby automatically when you place the gear lever in
neutral and you release the clutch pedal.
For your comfort, during parking manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear.Stop & Start does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as for example, braking, power steering...A slight delay between the vehicle stopping and the engine cutting out may be noticed.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time counter calculates the time spent in
STOP mode during a journey.It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on.
Stop & Start time counter
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox and the vehicle is stationary, the "ECO" indicator lamp comes on and the engine goes into standby automatically when you press the brake pedal or place the gear selector in position N.
If your vehicle has an electronic gearbox and the vehicle's speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h), the "ECO" indicator lamp comes on and the engine goes into standby automatically when you press the brake pedal or place the gear selector in position N.
