2824-5. Using the driving support systems
■Stopping the engine 
1 With the clutch pedal fully  
depressed, depress the brake 
pedal, and stop the vehicle. 
2 Shift the shift lever to N  
( P.186), and release the  
clutch pedal.
The Stop & Start indicator will come on.
■Restarting the engine 
Depress the clutch pedal.
The Stop & Start indicator will turn off.
■Operating conditions
●The Stop & Start system is operational  
when all of the following conditions  are met: 
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The brake 
pedal is being depressed firmly.  (Except when the vehicle comes to a  
controlled stop while driving with the 
dynamic radar cruise control with 
full-speed range in vehicle-to-vehicle  distance control mode [if equipped]) 
• Vehicles with a manual transmission: 
The clutch pedal is not depressed. • The engine is adequately warmed up. 
• The outside temperature is -5°C 
(23°F) or higher. • The shift lever is in D or P (Multidrive)  
or in N (manual transmission). 
• The windshield defogger is off. • The selected driving mode is Normal  
or Eco mode.
• The hood is closed. • The driver’s seat belt is fastened. 
• The driver’s door is closed.
• The accelerator pedal is not being  depressed.
●In the following situations the engine may not be stopped by the Stop &  
Start system. This is not a malfunction 
of the Stop & Start system. • The air conditioning system is being  
used.
• The battery is undergoing a periodic  recharge. 
• The battery is not sufficiently charged, 
such as if the vehicle has been parked  for a long time and the battery charge  
has decreased, the electric load is 
large, the battery fluid temperature is  excessively low or the battery has  
deteriorated.
• The brake booster vacuum is low. • The vehicle is stopped on a steep  
incline.
• The steering wheel is being operated. • Due to traffic or other circumstances  
the vehicle is stopped repeatedly.
• The vehicle is being driven in a high  altitude area. 
• Engine coolant temperature or trans-
mission fluid temperature is extremely  low or high. 
• The battery fluid temperature is 
extremely low or high. • For a while after the battery terminals  
have been disconnected and recon-
nected. • For a while after the battery has been  
replaced.
• When the elapsed time since the 
engine was restarted is short.
●In the following situations, the engine 
will restart automatically if the engine  is stopped by the  Stop & Start system.  
(To enable stopping of the engine by 
the Stop & Start system, drive the  vehicle.) 
• The air conditioning system is turned 
on.

request that a record of maintenance  
be kept.
■Does your vehicle need repairs? 
Be on the alert for changes in perfor- mance and sounds, and visual tip-offs  
that indicate service is needed. Some 
important clues are:
●Engine missing, stumbling or pinging
●Appreciable loss of power
●Strange engine noises
●A fluid leak under the vehicle (How-
ever, water dripping from the air con- ditioning system after use is normal.)
●Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monox- 
ide leak. Drive with the windows open 
and have the exhaust system checked  immediately.)
●Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire  
wear
●Vehicle pulls to one side when driven 
straight on a level road
●Strange noises related to suspension 
movement
●Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy 
feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal 
(vehicles with a manual transmission), 
pedal almost touches the floor, vehicle  pulls to one side when braking
●Engine coolant temperature continu-ally higher than normal ( P.89, 93) 
If you notice any of these clues, take  
your vehicle to any authorized Toyota  retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or  
any reliable repairer as soon as possi-
ble. Your vehicle may need adjustment  or repair.

●Do not leave anything that may  
burn easily, such as paper and 
rags, in the engine compartment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or 
expose an open flame to fuel or the  battery. Fuel and battery fumes are  
flammable.
●Be extremely cautious when work- ing on the battery. It contains poi- 
sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
●Take care because brake fluid can 
harm your hands or eyes and dam-
age painted surfaces. If fluid gets  on your hands or in your eyes, flush  
the affected area with clean water 
immediately. If you still experience discomfort,  
consult a doctor.
■When working near the electric 
cooling fans or radiator grille 
Be sure the engine switch is OFF. With the engine switch in ON, the  
electric cooling fans may automati-
cally start to run if the air conditioning  is on and/or the coolant temperature  
is high. (P.476)
■Safety glasses 
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying  
or falling material, fluid spray, etc.  from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner fil- 
ter 
Driving with the air cleaner filter  removed may cause excessive  
engine wear due to dirt in the air.
■If the fluid level is low or high 
It is normal for the brake fluid level to  
go down slightly as the brake pads 
wear or when the fluid level in the  accumulator is high. 
If the reservoir needs frequent refill-
ing, it may indicate a serious problem.

■Engine coolant reservoir 
The coolant level is satisfactory if it  
is between the “FULL” and “LOW” 
lines on the reservoir when the 
engine is cold. 
Reservoir cap 
“FULL” line
“LOW” line
If the level is on or below the “LOW”  
line, add coolant up to the “FULL” line. 
( P.560)
■Intercooler coolant reservoir 
The coolant level is satisfactory if it  
is between the “F” and “L” lines on 
the reservoir when the engine is 
cold. 
Reservoir cap 
“F” line
“L” line
If the level is on or below the “L” line,  
add coolant up to the “F” line. ( P.560)
■Coolant selection 
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Cool- 
ant” or a similar high quality ethylene 
glycol based non-silicate, non-amine,  non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with  
long-life hybrid organic acid technology. 
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a  mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion- 
ized water. (Minimum temperature: 
-35°C [-31°F]) 
For more details about coolant, contact  
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota 
authorized repairer, or any reliable  repairer.
■If the coolant level drops within a  
short time of replenishing 
Visually check the radiator, hoses,  engine coolant reservoir caps, drain  
cock and water pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have any  authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota  
authorized repairer, or any reliable 
repairer, test the cap and check for leaks  in the cooling system.
NOTICE
■When replacing the engine oil
●Be careful not to spill engine oil on  
the vehicle components.
●Avoid overfilling, or the engine 
could be damaged.
●Check the oil level on the dipstick 
every time you refill the vehicle.
●Be sure the engine oil filler cap is 
properly tightened.

operate and to check for coolant  
leaks from the radiator or hoses.
The fans operate when the air condi- 
tioning system is tu rned on immediately  after a cold start. Confirm that the fans  
are operating by checking the fan 
sound and air flow. If it is difficult to  check these, turn the air conditioning  
system on and off r epeatedly. (The fans  
may not operate in freezing tempera- tures.)
7 If the fans are not operating:  
Stop the engine immediately 
and contact any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota author-
ized repairer, or any reliable 
repairer.
If the fans are operating: Have 
the vehicle inspected at the 
nearest any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■When inspecting under the hood  
of your vehicle 
Observe the following precautions.  
Failure to do so may result in serious 
injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from under 
the hood, do not open the hood  until the steam has subsided. The  
engine compartment may be very 
hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (espe-
cially a tie, a scarf or a muffler)  away from the fans and belts. Fail- 
ure to do so may cause the hands 
or clothing to be caught, resulting in  serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reservoir caps while the engine and radiator  
are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant  could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant 
Add coolant slowly after the engine  
has cooled down sufficiently. Adding  cool coolant to a hot engine too  
quickly can cause damage to the 
engine.
■To prevent damage to the cooling 
system 
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant  with foreign matter (such as sand or  
dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
