When Driving
When the ignition is switched ON,
the wrench indicator light is illumi-
nated and then turns off after a
few seconds.
The wrench indicator light is illu-
minated when the preset mainte-
nance period arrives. Verify the
content and perform mainte-
nance.
Refer to Maintenance Monitor on
P. 414.
The light illuminates continuously
when the engine coolant tempera-
ture is low and turns off after the
engine is warm.
If the low engine coolant tempera-
ture indicator light remains illumi-
nated after the engine has been
sufficiently warmed up, the tem-
perature sensor could have a mal-
function. Consult your Toyota
dealer.

3-3. Transaxle
Manual Transaxle Operation
The shift pattern of the transaxle
is conventional, as shown.
Depress the clutch pedal all the
way down while shifting; then
release it slowly.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
device to prevent shifting to R
(reverse) by mistake. Push the
shift lever downward and shift to
R.
If shifting to R is difficult, shift back into neutral, release the clutch pedal, and
try again.

Neutral position
WARNING
■ Do not use sudden engine braking on slippery road surfaces or at high
speeds
Shifting down while driving on wet, snowy, or frozen roads, or while driving
at high speeds causes sudden engine braking, which is dangerous. The
sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This could lead to
loss of vehicle control and an accident.
■ Always leave the shift lever in 1 or R position and set the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle unattended
Otherwise the vehicle could move and cause an accident.

When Driving
■Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy traffic or on a steep upgrade,
downshift before the engine starts to overwork. This reduces the
chance of stalling and gives better acceleration when you need
more speed.
On a steep downgrade, downshifting helps maintain safe speed
and prolongs brake life.

3-3. Transaxle
Automatic Transaxle Controls
Various Lockouts:
The Sport AT has an option that is not included in the traditional automatic
transaxle that gives the driver the option of selecting each gear instead of
leaving it to the transaxle to shift gears. Even if you intend to use the auto-
matic transaxle functions as a traditional automatic, you should also be aware
that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift mode and an inappropriate
gear may be retained as the vehicle speed increases. If you notice the engine
speed going higher or hear the engine racing, confirm you have not acciden-
tally slipped into manual shift mode (→P. 168).
Lock-release button
Indicates that you must depress the brake pedal and hold in
the lock-release button to shift (The ignition must be
switched ON).
Indicates the selector lever c an be shifted freely into any
position.
Indicates that you must hold in the lock-release button to
shift.

■M (Manual)
M is the manual shift mode position. Gears can be shifted up or
down by operating the selector lever. Refer to Manual Shift Mode
on P. 168.
WARNING
■Always set the selector lever to P and set the parking brake when park-
ing
Only setting the selector lever to the P position without using the parking
brake to hold the vehicle is dangerous. If P fails to hold, the vehicle could
move and cause an accident.
■ If the engine is running faster than idle, do not shift from N or P into a
driving gear
It’s dangerous to shift from N or P into a driving gear when the engine is run-
ning faster than idle. If this is done, the vehicle could move suddenly, caus-
ing an accident or serious injury.
■ Do not shift into N wh en driving the vehicle
Shifting into N while driving is dangerous. Engine braking cannot be applied
when decelerating which could lead to an accident or serious injury.
NOTICE
●Shifting into P, N or R while the vehicle is moving can damage your tran-
saxle.
● Shifting into a driving gear or reverse when the engine is running faster
than idle can damage the transaxle.
● Do not shift into N when driving the vehicle. Doing so can cause transax\
le
damage.

When Driving
Active Adaptive Shift (AAS) automatically controls the transaxle shift
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.
The shift-lock system prevents shifting out of P unless the brake pedal
is depressed.
To shift from P:
Depress and hold the brake pedal.
Start the engine.
Press and hold the lock-release button.
Move the selector lever.
● When the ignition is switched to ACC or the ignition is switched off, the
selector lever cannot be shifted from P.
● The ignition cannot be switched to OFF if the selector lever is not in P.
