WARNING
■When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the
accelerator pedal while starting the engine under any circumstances.Doing so may cause an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
■Caution while driving
If engine failure occurs while the vehi- cle is moving, do not lock or open the doors until the vehicle reaches a safe
and complete stop. Activation of the steering lock in this circumstance may lead to an accident, resulting in death
or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When starting the engine
●Do not race a cold engine.
●If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehicle checked by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
■Symptoms indicating a malfunc-tion with the engine switch
If the engine switch seems to be oper- ating somewhat differently than usual, such as the switch sticking slightly,
there may be a malfunction. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer immediately.

Some electrical components such as
the audio system can be used.
“ACCESSORY” will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
3 ON
All electrical components can be used.
“IGNITION ON” will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
*: Vehicles with a Multidrive: If the shift
lever is in a position other than P
when turning off the engine, the
engine switch will be turned to ACC,
not to off.
■Auto power off function
Multidrive: If the vehicle is left in ACC or ON (the engine is not running) for more than 20 minutes with the shift lever in P,
the engine switch will automatically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely prevent battery discharge. Do
not leave the vehicle with the engine
WARNING
■Stopping the engine in an emer- gency
●If you want to stop the engine in an emergency while driving the vehi-cle, press and hold the engine
switch for more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. ( →P.360)
However, do not touch the engine switch while driving except in an emergency. Turning the engine off
while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will
be lost. This will make it more diffi- cult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
●If the engine switch is operated
while the vehicle is running, a warn- ing message will be shown on the multi-information display and a
buzzer sounds.
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: To restart
the engine after performing an emergency shutdown, shift the shift lever to N and then press the
engine switch.
●Vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion: To restart the engine after per- forming an emergency shutdown, depress the clutch pedal and then
press the engine switch.

4-2. Driving procedures
Driving
: While the engine switch is in
ON and the brake pedal
depressed*, shift the shift lever
while pushing the shift release but-
ton on the shift knob.
: Shift the shift lever while push-
ing the shift release button on the
shift knob.
: Shift the shift lever normally.
When shifting the shift lever between P
and D, make sure that the vehicle is
completely stopped and the brake
pedal is depressed.
*: For the vehicle be able to be shifted
from P, the brake pedal must be
depressed before the shift release
button is pushed. If the shift release
button is pushed first, the shift lock
will not be released.
■Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to pre- vent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting. The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in ON
and the brake pedal is being depressed.
■If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
First, check whether the brake pedal is
being depressed. If the shift lever cannot be shifted with your foot on the brake pedal, there may
be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.The following steps may be used as an
emergency measure to ensure that the shift lever can be shifted.
Releasing the shift lock:
1 Set the parking brake.
2 Turn the engine switch off.
3 Depress the brake pedal.
4 Ply the cover up with a flathead screwdriver or equivalent tool.To prevent damaging the cover,
wrap the tip of the flathead screw- driver with a tape.
WARNING
■When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift the shift gears suddenly. Sudden changes in engine braking
may cause the vehicle to spin or skid, resulting in an accident.

To drive using temporary shift
range selection, operate the “-” or
“+” paddle shift switch.
When the “-” paddle shift switch is
operated, the gear step switches to
a range that enables engine brak-
ing force that is suitable to driving
conditions. When the “+” paddle
shift switch is operated, the gear
step switches to a step that is one
step higher than the current step.
Changing the gear step allows
restriction of the highest gear step,
preventing unnecessary upshifting
and enabling the level of engine
braking force to be selected.
1 Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The selected gear step, from D1 to
D10, will be displayed on the multi-
information display.
■Gear step functions
●10 levels of accelerating force and engine braking can be selected.
●A lower gear step will provide greater
engine braking force than a higher gear step, and the engine speed will also increase.
■Deactivation of temporary 10-speed
Sport Sequential Shiftmatic mode
In the following situations, temporary 10- speed Sport Sequential Shiftmatic mode
will be deactivated:
WARNING
■To prevent an accident when releasing the shift lock
Before pressing the shift lock override button, make sure to set the parking brake and depress the brake pedal.
If the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed instead of the brake pedal when the shift lock override button is
pressed and the shift lever is shifted out of P, the vehicle may suddenly start, possibly leading to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
