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.

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).

dures necessary for starting the engine such as having the key in the cabin,

tion sound of the fuel pump motor from near the fuel tank can be heard,
however, this does not indicate a malfunction.

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).

points to best suit the road conditions and driver input. This improves
driving feel. The transaxle may switch to AAS mode when driving up
and down slopes, cornering, driving at high elevations, or depressing
the accelerator pedal quickly while t he selector lever is in the D posi-
tion. Depending on the road and dr iving conditions/vehicle operations,
gear shifting could be delayed or not occur, however, this does not
indicate a problem because the AAS mode will maintain the optimum
gear position.

is depressed.
To shift from P:
Depress and hold the brake pedal.
Start the engine.
Press and hold the lock-release button.
