Before Driving
Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)
WARNING
■Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas contains carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless, odorless, and poisonous. When inhaled, it can
cause loss of consciousness and death. If you smell exhaust gas inside the
vehicle, keep all windows fully open and contact your Toyota dealer immedi-
ately.
■ Do not run the engine when inside an enclosed area
Running the engine inside an enclosed area, such as a garage, is danger-
ous. Exhaust gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could easily
enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur.
■ Open the windows or adjust the heating or cooling system to draw
fresh air when idling the engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the vehicle is stopped with the windows
closed and the engine running for a long time even in an open area,
exhaust gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could enter the
cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur.
■ Clear snow from undern eath and around your vehi cle, particularly the
tail pipe, before starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehicle is stopped in deep snow is dangerous.
The exhaust pipe could be blocked by the snow, allowing exhaust gas to
enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monox-
ide, it could cause loss of consciousness or even death to occupants in the
cabin.

2-3. Fuel and Emission
Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
WARNING
■When removing the fuel-filler cap, l oosen the cap slightly and wait for
any hissing to stop, then remove it
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can burn skin and eyes and cause illness if
ingested. Fuel spray is released when there is pressure in the fuel tank and
the fuel-filler cap is removed too quickly.
■ Before refueling, stop the engi ne, and always keep sparks and flames
away from the filler neck
Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be ignited by sparks or flames causing
serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-filler cap or not using a fuel-filler cap
may result in a fuel leak, which could result in serious burns or death in an
accident.
■ Do not continue refueling after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automat-
ically
Continuing to add fuel after the fuel pump nozzle has shut off automatically
is dangerous because overfilling the fuel tank may cause fuel overflow or
leakage. Fuel overflow and leakage could damage the vehicle and if the fuel
ignites it could cause a fire and explosion resulting in serious injury or
death.
NOTICE
Always use only a genuine Toyota fuel-filler cap or an approved equivalent,
available at your Toyota dealer. The wrong cap can result in a serious mal-
function of the fuel and emission control systems. It may also cause the
check engine light in the combination meter to illuminate.

NOTICE
If the check fuel cap warning light illuminates, the fuel-filler cap may not be
properly installed. If the warning light illuminates, park your vehicle safely off
the right-of-way, remove the fuel-filler cap and reinstall it correctly. After the
cap has been correctly installed, the fuel cap warning light may continue to
illuminate until a number of driving cycles have been completed. A drive
cycle consists of starting the engine (after four or more hours with the
engine off) and driving the vehicle on city and highway roads.
Continuing to drive with the check fuel cap warning light illuminated could
cause the check engine light to illuminate as well.

2-8. Driving Tips

Before Driving
Saving Fuel and Protection of the Environment
How you operate your Toyota determines how far it will travel on a
tank of fuel. Use these suggestions to help save fuel and reduce CO2.
• Avoid long warm-ups. Once the en gine runs smoothly, begin driv-
ing.
• Avoid fast starts.
• Drive at lower speeds.
• Anticipate when to apply the brakes (avoid sudden braking).
• Follow the maintenance schedule and have your Toyota dealer per- form inspections and servicing.
• Use the air conditioner only when necessary.
• Slow down on rough roads.
• Keep the tires properly inflated.
• Do not carry unnecessary weight.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
• Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
• Keep windows closed at high speeds.
• Slow down when driving in crosswinds and headwinds.
WARNING
■ Never stop the engine when going down a hill
Stopping the engine when going down a hill is dangerous. This causes the
loss of power steering and power brake control, and may cause damage to
the drivetrain. Any loss of steering or braking control could cause an acci-
dent.

When Driving
■Push Button Start Positions
●The engine starts by pressing the push button start while depressing the
clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic transaxle). To
switch the ignition position, press the push button start without depressing
the pedal.
● Do not leave the ignition switched ON while the engine is not running. Doing
so could result in the battery going dead. If the ignition is left in ACC (For
automatic transaxle, the selector lever is in the P position, and the ignition is
in ACC), the ignition switches off automatically after about 25 minutes.
■ ACC (Accessory)
The keyless entry system does not function while the push button start has
been pressed to ACC, and the doors will not lock/unlock even if they have
been locked manually.
■ ON
When the push button start is pressed to ON, the sound of the fuel pump
motor operating near the fuel tank can be heard. This does not indicate an
abnormality.
WARNING
■Before leaving the driver’s seat, set the parking brake, make sure the
selector lever is in 1st gear or R (manual transaxle) or in P (automatic
transaxle), and always switch the ignition off
Leaving the driver’s seat without setting the parking brake, shifting the
selector lever to 1st gear or R (manual transaxle) or to P (automatic tran-
saxle), and switching the ignition off is dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur which could result in an accident.
In addition, if your intention is to leave the vehicle for even a short period, it
is important to switch the ignition off, as leaving it in another position will dis-
able some of the vehicle’s security systems and run the battery down.

3-1. Start/Stop Engine
●Forced engine starting method:
If the KEY warning light (red) illuminates, or the push button start indicator
light (amber) flashes, this could indicate that the engine may not start using
the usual starting method. Have your vehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. If this occurs, the engine can be force-started.
Press and hold the push button start until the engine starts. Other proce-
dures necessary for starting the engine such as having the key in the cabin,
and depressing the clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake pedal
(automatic transaxle) are required.
● When the engine is force-started, the KEY warning light (red) remains illumi-
nated and the push button start indicator light (amber) remains flashing.
● Automatic transaxle:
When the selector lever is in the neutral (N) position, the KEY indicator light
(green) and the push button start indicator light (green) do not illuminate.
● After pressing the push button start and before the engine starts, the opera-
tion sound of the fuel pump motor from near the fuel tank can be heard,
however, this does not indicate a malfunction.
● Whether the engine is cold or warm, it should be started without the use of
the accelerator.
● If the engine does not start the first time, refer to Starting a Flooded Engine
under Emergency Starting. If the engine still does not start, have your vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota dealer ( →P. 494).
WARNING
■Radio waves from the key may affect medical devices such as pace-
makers
Before using the key near people who use medical devices, ask the medical
device manufacturer or your physician if radio waves from the key will affect
the device.
NOTICE
If the KEY warning light (red) illuminates, or the push button start indicator
light (amber) flashes, this could indicate a problem with the engine starting
system and the inability to start the engine or switch the ignition to ACC or
ON. Have your vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
