When Driving
After starting the engine, let it idle for about ten seconds.
●The key must be carried because the key carries an immobilizer chip that
must communicate with the engine controls at short range.
● The engine can be started when the push button start is pressed from off,
ACC, or ON.
● The push button start system functions (function which can start the engine
by only carrying the key) can be deactivated to prevent any possible
adverse effect on a user wearing a pacemaker or other medical device. If
the system is deactivated, you will be unable to start the engine by carrying
the key. Consult your Toyota dealer for details. If the push button start sys-
tem functions have been deactivated, you can start the engine by following
the procedure indicated when the key battery goes dead.
Refer to Engine Start Function When Key Battery is Dead on P. 145.
● After starting a cold engine, the engine speed increases and a whining
sound from the engine compartment can be heard.
This is for improved exhaust gas purification and does not indicate defect of
the parts.
● Engine-starting is controlled by the spark ignition system.
This system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Standard
requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio noise.
● Under the following conditions, the KEY warning light (red) flashes after the
push button start is pressed to inform the driver that the push button start
will not switch to ACC even if it is pressed from off.
• The key battery is dead.
• The key is out of operational range.
• The key is placed in areas where it is difficult for the system to detect the
signal ( →P. 93).
• A key from another manufacturer similar to the key is in the operational
range.

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.

Turning the Engine Off
Stop the vehicle completely.
Manual transaxle:
Shift into neutral and set the parking brake.
Automatic transaxle:
Shift the selector lever to the P position and set the parking brake.
Press the push button start to turn off the engine. The ignition posi-
tion is off.
● The cooling fan in the engine compartment could turn on for a few minutes
after the ignition is switched from ON to OFF, whether or not the A/C is on or
off, to cool the engine compartment quickly.
● When the push button start is pressed from ON to ACC or OFF, the KEY
indicator light (green) may flash for approximately 30 seconds indicating
that the remaining battery power of the key is low.
Replace with a new battery before the key becomes unusable.
Refer to Key Battery Replacement on P. 436.
● Automatic transaxle:
If the engine is turned off while the selector lever is in a position other than
P, the ignition switches to ACC.
Continuously pressing the push button start or quickly pressing it two
or more times while the engine is running or the vehicle is being
driven will turn the engine off immediately. The ignition switches to
ACC.
WARNING
■Do not stop the engine wh ile the vehicle is moving
Stopping the engine while the vehicle is moving for any reason other than in
an emergency is dangerous. Stopping the engine while the vehicle is mov-
ing will result in reduced braking ability due to the loss of power braking,
which could cause an accident and serious injury.
NOTICE
When leaving the vehicle, make sure the push button start is off.

When the tachometer needle enters the STRIPED ZONE, this indicates to the
driver that the gears should be shifted before entering the RED ZONE.
The fuel gauge shows approximately how much fuel is remaining in
the tank when the ignition is switched ON. We recommend keeping
the tank over 1/4 full.

When Driving
■Current fuel economy mode
Current fuel economy will be calculated and displayed every 2 sec-
onds.
When you’ve slowed to about 3 mph (5 km/h), - - - mpg (- - - L/100
km) will be displayed.
■Average vehicle speed mode
Average vehicle speed will be calculated and displayed every 10
seconds.
To clear the data being displayed, press the INFO button for more
than 1.5 seconds.
After pressing the INFO button, - - - mph (- - - km/h) will be dis-
played for about 1 minute before the vehicle speed is recalculated
and displayed.
■ Distance-to-empty mode
●Even though the distance-to-empty display may indicate a sufficient amount
of remaining driving distance before refueling is required, refuel as soon as
possible if the fuel level is very low or the low fuel warning light illuminates.
● The display may not change unless you add more than approximately 2.3
gal. (9 L, 1.9 Imp.gal.) of fuel.
● The distance-to-empty is the approximate remaining distance the vehicle
can be driven until all the graduation marks in the fuel gauge (indicating the
remaining fuel supply) disappear.
● If there is no past fuel economy information such as after first purchasing
your vehicle or the information is deleted when the battery cables are dis-
connected, the actual distance-to empty/range may differ from the amount
indicated.
This mode displays the current fuel economy
by calculating the amount of fuel consumption
and the distance traveled.
This mode displays th e average vehicle speed
by calculating the distance and the time trav-
eled since connecting the battery or resetting
the data.
