■Auto power off function
Vehicles with a Multidrive
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode (the engine is
not running) for more than an hour with the shift lever in P, the engine
switch will automatically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely pre-
vent battery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the engine switch in
ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode for long periods of time when the
engine is not running.
Vehicles with a manual transmission
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode (the engine is
not running) for more than an hour, the engine switch will automatically turn
off. However, this function cannot entirely prevent battery discharge. Do not
leave the vehicle with the engine switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON
mode for long periods of time when the engine is not running.

■ Steering lock
After turning the engine switch off and opening and closing the doors, the
steering wheel will be locked due to the steering lock function. Operating the
engine switch again automatically cancels the steering lock.
■ When the steering lock cannot be released
Vehicles with a manual transmission
Press the engine switch while turning the steering wheel left and right.
■ Steering lock motor overheating prevention
To prevent the steering lock motor from overheating, the motor may be sus-
pended if the engine is turned on and off repeatedly in a short period of time.
In this case, refrain from operating the engine. After about 10 seconds, the
steering lock motor will resume functioning.
■ If the system is malfunctioning
 P. 579
■ If the electronic key battery is depleted
 P. 532
■ Operation of the engine switch
● If the switch is not pressed shortly and firmly, the engine switch mode may
not change or the engine may not start.
● If attempting to restart the engine immediately after turning the engine
switch off, the engine may not start in some cases. After turning the engine
switch off, please wait a few seconds before restarting the engine.
■ If the smart entry & start system has been deactivated in a customized
setting
 P. 674
Vehicles with monochrome display: The
smart entry & start system indicator light
(green) will flash quickly.
Vehicles with color display: “Steering lock
active.” will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
Vehicles with a Multidrive
Check that the shift lever is set in P.
Press the engine switch while turning the
steering wheel left and right.

■Deactivation of the temporally gear steps selection mode in the D posi-
tion
In the following situations, temporally gear steps selection mode in the D
position will be deactivated:
● When the vehicle comes to a stop
● If the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than a certain period of time in
one gear step
● When the “+” paddle shift switch is held down for a period of time
■ When driving with the cruise control activated (if equipped)
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control will not be
canceled.
• While driving in D or 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode, down-
shifting to 6, 5, or 4. ( P. 257)
• When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in D posi-
tion. ( P. 256)
■ When the vehicle comes to a stop with the shift lever in the M position
● The transmission will automatically downshift to M1 once the vehicle is
stopped.
● After a stop, the vehicle will start off in M1.
● When the vehicle is stopped, the transmission is set at M1.
■ Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to prevent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting.
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in the
“ON” position and the brake pedal is being depressed.

■ If the “M” indicator flashes or a buzzer beeps after shifting the shift lever
to M
This may indicate a malfunction in the Multidrive system. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same manner as when
the shift lever is in D.)
■ Downshift restriction warning buzzer (vehicles with a 7-speed sport
sequential shiftmatic mode)
To help ensure safety and driving per formance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever or paddle shift switches are operated. (A
buzzer will sound twice.)
■ G AI-SHIFT
G AI-SHIFT automatically selects a suitable gear for sporty driving according
to driver’s input and driving conditions. G AI-SHIFT operates automatically
when the shift lever is in D and sport mode is selected for the driving mode.
(Selecting normal mode or shifting the shift lever to the M position cancels
this function.)
■ Engine speed while driving
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting c ontrol or down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.
● The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
● When the accelerator pedal is released
● With the “SPORT” switch activated, when the brake pedal is depressed

■Cruise control can be set when
Vehicles with a Multidrive
● The shift lever is in the D or range 4 or higher of M has been selected.
● Range 4 or higher has been selected by using the paddle shift.
● Vehicle speed is above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
Vehicles with a manual transmission
● Vehicle speed is above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
● The vehicle can be accelerated normally. After acceleration, the set speed
resumes.
● Even without canceling the cruise control, the set speed can be increased
by first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then pushing the
lever down to set the new speed.
■ Automatic cruise control cancelation
Cruise control will stop maintaining the vehicle speed in any of the following
situations.
● Actual vehicle speed falls more than approximately 16 km/h (10 mph) below
the preset vehicle speed.
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
● Actual vehicle speed is below approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
● VSC is activated (if equipped).
● Speed limiter is activated (if equipped).

load is large, the battery fluid temperature is excessively low or the bat-
tery has deteriorated.
• The battery fluid temperature is extremely low or high.
• Due to traffic or other circumstances the vehicle is stopped repeatedly,
resulting in the amount of time the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start
system to become excessively high.
