■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. 185.
WARNING
■ Always set the selector lever to P and set the parking brake wh en 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 th e 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 when driving the vehicle
Shifting into N while driving is dangerous. Engine braking cann ot be applied
when decelerating which could lead to an accident or serious in jury.
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 runn ing faster
than idle can damage the transaxle.
● Do not shift into N when driving the vehicle. Doing so can cause transaxle
damage.

Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
For vehicles with a manual transaxle, Hill Launch Assist (HLA) oper-
ates on a downward slope when the shift lever is in the reverse (R)
position, and on an upward slope when the shift lever is in a p osition
other than the reve rse (R) position.
For vehicles with an automatic transaxle, Hill Launch Assist (H LA)
operates on a downward slope when the shift lever is in the rev erse
(R) position, and on an upward slope when the shift lever is in a for-
ward gear.
● Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not operate on a gentle slope. In addition, the
gradient of the slope on which the system will operate changes depending
on the vehicle’s load.
● Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not operate if the parking brake is applied, the
vehicle has not stopped completely, or the clutch pedal is released.
● While Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is operating, the brake pedal ma y feel stiff
and vibrate, however, this does not indicate a malfunction.
● Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not operate while the TCS/DSC ind icator light
is illuminated.
Refer to Contact Your Toyota Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on P. 493.
● Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not turn off even if the DSC OFF switch is
pressed to turn off the TCS/DSC.
: If equipped
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is a f unction which assists the driver in
accelerating from a stop while on a slope. When the driver
releases the brake pedal and depresses the accelerator pedal
while on a slope, the function pr events the vehicle from rolling.
The braking force is maintained automatically after the brake
pedal is released on a steep grade.

Activate the cruise control system by pressing the ON switch. The
cruise main indication (white) is displayed.
Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 16 mph
(25 km/h).
Set the cruise control by pressing the SET/ switch at the desir ed
speed. The cruise control is set at the moment the SET/ switch is
pressed. Release the accelerator pedal simultaneously. The crui se
set indication (white) is displayed and the cruise set indicato r light
(green) turns on.
● The cruise control speed setting cannot be performed under the following
conditions:
• Manual transaxle: The shift lever is in the neutral position.
• Automatic transaxle: The select or lever is in the P or N position.
• The parking brake is applied.
● Release the SET/ or RES/ switch at the desired speed, otherwise the
speed will continue increasing while the RES/ switch is pressed and held,
and continue decreasing while the SET/ switch is pressed and he ld
(except when the accelerator pedal is depressed).
● On a steep grade, the vehicle may momentarily slow down while a scending,
or speed up while descending.
● The cruise control will cancel if the vehicle speed decreases b elow 13 mph
(21 km/h) when climbing a steep grade.
● The cruise control may cancel at about 9 mph (15 km/h) below th e preset
speed such as when climbing a long, steep grade.

3-11. Cruise Control
If the cruise control system temporarily canceled (such as applying
the brake pedal) and the system i s still activated, the most recent set
speed will automatically resume when the RES/ switch is pressed .
If vehicle speed is below 16 mph (25 km/h), increase the vehicl e
speed up to 16 mph (25 km/h) or m ore and press the RES/ switch.
To temporarily cancel the syst em, use one of these methods:
• Slightly depress the brake pedal.
• Manual transaxle: Depress the clutch pedal.
• Press the OFF/CAN switch.
If the RES/ switch is pressed w hen the vehicle speed is 16 mph (25
km/h) or higher, the system rev erts to the previously set speed .
●If any of the following conditions occur, the cruise control sy stem is tempo-
rarily canceled.
• The parking brake is applied.
• Manual transaxle: The shift lever is in the neutral position.
• Automatic transaxle: The select or lever is in the P or N position.
● When the cruise control system is temporarily canceled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed cannot be re-set.
● Automatic transaxle:
The cruise control cannot be cancelled while driving in manual mode (selec-
tor lever shifted from D to M position). Therefore, engine brak ing will not be
applied even if the transaxle is shifted down to a lower gear. If deceleration
is required, lower the set speed or depress the brake pedal.
