WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not
come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are
not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately if
this occurs.

■When starting off on an uphill
The hill-start assist control will activate. ( P. 351)
■ Driving in the rain
● Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
● Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
■ Engine speed while driving (vehicles with a Multidrive)
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
● When the brake pedal is depressed while sport mode is selected
■ Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
● For the first 300 km (200 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
● For the first 800 km (500 miles):
Do not tow a trailer.
● For the first 1000 km (600 miles):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.

*1: To improve fuel consumption and reduce noises, set the shift lever in the D
position for normal driving.
*2: By selecting gear step using paddle shift switches, you can control engine
braking forces.
Press the switch.
For powerful acceleration and driv-
ing in mountainous regions.
The “SPORT” indicator will come
on.
Press the switch once more to
return the normal mode.

Shift the shift lever to the M position and operate the shift lever or pad-
dle shift switch.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The gear step changes once
every time the shift lever or paddle
shift switch is operated.
The selected gear step, from 1 to
7, will be displayed in the multi-
information display.
*1: Vehicles with color display.
*2: Vehicles with monochrome display.
However, even when in the M position, the gear steps will be automat-
ically changed if the engine speed is too high, or too low.
■Gear step functions
● You can choose from 7 levels of engine braking force.
● A lower gear step will provide greater engine braking force than a
higher gear step, and the engine speed will also increase.

■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
