1364-1. Before driving
COROLLA_U
■Engine speed while driving
(vehicles with a continuously
variable transmission)
In the following conditions, the
engine speed may become high
while driving. This is due to auto-
matic up-shifting control 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
■Restraining the engine output
(Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake
pedals are depressed at the same
time, the engine output may be
restrained.
●A warning message is displayed
on the multi-information display
while the system is operating.
■Restraining sudden start
(Drive-Start Control [vehicles
with a continuously variable
transmission])
●When the following unusual oper-
ation is performed, the engine out-
put may be restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted from
R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D, or P
to R (D includes B
*1 or M*2) with
the accelerator pedal depressed,
a warning message appears on
the multi-information display. If a
warning message is shown on the
multi-information display, read the
message and follow the instruc-
tion.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed too much while the
vehicle is in reverse.
*1: Vehicles without paddle shift
switches
*2: Vehicles with paddle shift switches
●While Drive-Start Control is being
activated, your vehicle may have
trouble escaping from the mud or
fresh snow. In such case, deacti-
vate TRAC (
P.251) to cancel
Drive-Start Control so that the
vehicle may become able to
escape from the mud or fresh
snow.

to D for normal driving.
■When driving with the dynamic
radar cruise control or dynamic
radar cruise control with
full-speed range activated
Even when switching the driving
mode to sport mode with the intent
of enabling engine braking, engine
braking will not occur because
dynamic radar cruise control or
dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range will not be can-
celed. (

■Continuously variable transmis-
sion fail-safe control
The system detects malfunctioning
parts targeted (all of the solenoids
that perform the shifting function) by
the On-Board Diagnostics, and per-
forms fail-safe me chanisms, such
as restricting the shifting function or
transmission ratio control.
In this event, the malfunction indica-
tor lamp turns on.
