possible even when the paddle shift
switch is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
To enter 7-speed sport sequential
shiftmatic mode, shift the shift lever
to M position. Gear steps can then
be selected by operating the shift
lever or paddle shift switches (if
equipped), allowing you to drive in
the gear step of your choosing.
1 Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The gear step changes once every time
the shift lever or paddle shift switches (if
equipped) is operated.
The selected gear step, from M1 to M7,
will be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
However, even when in the M posi-
tion, the gear steps will be automat-
ically changed if the engine speed
is too high, or too low.
■Gear step functions
●7 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.
■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.
■Downshifting restriction warning
buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving perfor- mance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some cir- cumstances, downshifting may not be possible even when the shift lever is
operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
■If the 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode indicator does not come on even 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.)

●Cruise control is activated.
●When the VSC or TRC system is turned off by pressing the VSC off
switch.
■If the warning message for the speed limiter is shown on the multi-information display
Stop the engine and then restart the engine. After restarting the engine, set the speed limiter. If the speed limiter
cannot be set, there may be a malfunc- tion in the speed limiter. Have the vehi-cle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■Stopping the engine
Vehicles with Multidrive
While driving with the D shift posi-
tion selected, depress the brake
pedal and stop the vehicle. The
engine will stop automatically.
When the engine stops, the Stop &
Start indicator will illuminate.
Vehicles with manual transmis-
sion
1 Fully depress the clutch pedal
and depress the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
2 Move the shift lever to N and
release the clutch pedal. The
engine will stop automatically.
When the engine is stopped by the Stop
& Start system, the Stop & Start indica- tor will illuminate.
■Restarting the engine
Vehicles with Multidrive
Release the brake pedal. The
engine will start automatically.
When the engine starts, the Stop &
Start indicator will turn off.

Stop & Start system
Multidrive: The Stop & Start
system stops and starts the
engine according to brake
pedal or shift lever operation
when the vehicle is stopped,
such as at a stoplight, inter-
section, etc., in order to
improve fuel economy and
reduce noise pollution caused
by the engine idling.
Manual transmission: The
Stop & Start system stops and
starts the engine according to
clutch pedal or shift lever
operation when the vehicle is
stopped, such as at a stop-
light, intersection, etc., in

When the engine starts, the Stop &
Start indicator will turn off.
Press the Stop & Start cancel
switch to disable the Stop & Start
system.
The Stop & Start cancel indicator
will illuminate.
Pressing the switch again will enable
the Stop & Start system and the Stop &
Start cancel indicator will turn off.
■Automatic enabling of the Stop & Start system
If the Stop & Start system is disabled
using the Stop & Start cancel switch, it will be automatically re-enabled once the engine switch is turned off and then
the engine is started.
When the engine is stopped by the
Stop & Start system when the vehi-
cle is on an incline, when the brake
pedal is released, brake force is
temporarily maintained to prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards
before the engine is restarted and
drive force is generated. When
drive force is generated, the main-
tained brake force is automatically
canceled.
This function operates on flat
surfaces as well as steep
inclines.
Sound may be generated from
the brake system, but this does
not indicate a malfunction.
Brake pedal response may
change and vibration may occur,
but this does not indicate a mal-
function.
■Points for use
●If the engine switch is pressed when
the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the engine will not be able to be restarted by the automatic
engine start function. In this case, restart the engine using the normal engine starting procedure. ( P.129,
130)
●When the engine is being restarted by
the Stop & Start system, the power outlets may be temporarily unusable,
but this does not indicate a malfunc- tion.
●Installation and removal of electrical components and wireless devices may affect the Stop & Start system.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for details.
●When stopping the vehicle for a lon-ger period of time, turn the engine
switch off to stop the engine com- pletely.
●When the engine is restarted by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel may temporarily feel heavy.
