Driving
• The brake pedal is not sufficiently depressed.
If the brake pedal is depressed
further, the system will operate.
“Non-Dedicated Battery”
• A battery not designed for use with a Stop & Start system may
have been installed.
Have the vehicl e inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
“Battery Charging”
• The battery charge may be low.
Stopping of the engine is tempo-
rarily prohibited to prioritize charging
of the battery. After the engine runs
for a certain amount of time, the
system will be enabled.
• A refresh charge may be occur- ring (Examples: For a while after
the battery terminals have been
disconnected and reconnected.
For a while after the battery has
been replaced. etc.)
After a refresh charge for up to
an hour completes, the system can
be operated.
• If displayed continuously for a long time (more than an hour)
The battery may be deteriorated.
Contact your Toyota dealer for
details.
“Stop & Start System
Unavailable”
• The Stop & Start system is tempo- rarily disabled.
Allow the engine to run for some
time.
• The engine may have been started with the hood open.
Close the hood , turn the engine switch to OFF, wait for 30 seconds
or more, and then start the engine.
“In Preparation”
• The vehicle is being driven in a high altitude area.
• The brake booster vacuum is low.
When the brake booster vacuum
reaches a predeter mined level, the
system will be enabled.
“For Climate Control”
• The air conditioning system is being used when the ambient
temperature is high or low.
If the difference between the set
temperature and cabin temperature
becomes small, the system will be
enabled.
• The windshield defogger is on.
●When the engine automatically
restarts while stopped by the Stop
& Start system
“In Preparation”
• The brake pedal has been depressed further or pumped.
The system will be enabled after
the engine runs and the brake
booster vacuum reaches a predeter-
mined level.
“For Climate Control”
• The air conditioning system has been turned on o r is being used.
• The windshield defogger has
been turned on.

3724-6. Driving tips
Perform the following according
to the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a
window or move a wiper that
is frozen. Pour warm water
over the frozen area to melt
the ice. Wipe away the water
immediately to prevent it from
freezing.
To ensure proper operation of
the climate control system
fan, remove any snow that
has accumulated on the air
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.
Check for and remove any
excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the
exterior lights, vehicle’s roof,
chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
Remove any snow or mud
from the bottom of your shoes
before getting in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly,
keep a safe distance between
you and the vehicle ahead, and
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.
Park the vehicle and move
the shift lever to P without set- ting the parking brake. The
parking brake may freeze up,
preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is
parked without setting the
parking brake, make sure to
block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dan-
gerous because it may cause
the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly, possibly leading to an
accident.
When the parking brake is in
automatic mode, release the
parking brake after shifting
the shift lever to P. (
P.205)
If the vehicle is left parked
with the brakes damp in cold
temperatures, there is a pos-
sibility of the brakes freezing.
If the vehicle is parked without
setting the parking brake,
confirm that the shift lever
cannot be moved out of P
*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is
attempted to be sh ifted from P to
any other position without
depressing the brake pedal. If the
shift lever can be shifted from P,
there may be a problem with the
shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.

This information has been pre-
pared in accordance with regu-
lations issued by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Adminis-
tration of the U.S. Department of
Transportation.
It provides the purchasers
and/or prospective purchasers
of Toyota vehicles with informa-
tion on uniform tire quality grad-
ing.
Your Toyota dealer will help answer
any questions you may have as you
read this information.
■DOT quality grades
All passenger vehicle tires must
conform to Federal Safety
Requirements in addition to
these grades. Quality grades
can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between
tread shoulder and maximum
section width.
For example: Treadwear 200 Trac-
tion AA Temperature A
■Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a com-
parative rating based on the
wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified government test
course.
For example, a tire graded 150
would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2)
times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the ac tual conditions
of their use. Performance may dif-
fer significantly from the norm due
to variations in dri ving habits, ser-
vice practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
■Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from high-
est to lowest, are AA, A, B and
C, and they represent the tire’s
ability to stop on wet pavement
as measured under controlled
conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt
and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade
assigned to this tire is based on
braking (straight ahead) traction
tests and does not include corner-
ing (turning) traction.
