■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.
Stopping the engine
WA R N I N G
■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.502)
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.

Operating instructions
2084-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper
operation (vehicles with rain-sens- ing windshield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the Intermittent
wiper interval.
■Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
●The raindrop sensor judges the amount of raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may
not operate properly when sunlight from the rising or setting of the sun
intermittently strikes the windshield, or
if bugs etc. are present on the wind- shield.
●If the wiper is turned to AUTO mode while the engine switch is in ON, the
wipers will operate once to show that
AUTO mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-
sor is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -15°C (5°F) or lower, automatic operation
may not occur. In this case, operate
the wipers in any mode other than AUTO mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid
sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
■When stopping the engine in an
emergency while driving
If the windshield wipers are operating when the engine is stopped, the wind-
shield wipers will operate in high speed
operation. After the vehicle is stopped, operation will return to normal when the
engine switch is turned to ON, or opera-
tion will stop when the driver’s door is opened.
WA R N I N G
■Caution regarding the use of
windshield wipers in AUTO mode
(vehicles with rain-sensing wind- shield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate
unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the windshield is subject to vibra-
tion in AUTO mode. Take care that
your fingers or anything else do not
become caught in the windshield wip- ers.
■Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer
fluid until the windshield becomes warm. The fluid may freeze on the
windshield and cause low visibility.
This may lead to an accident, result- ing in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When there is no washer fluid spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump
may be caused if the lever is pulled
toward you and held continually.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

heat.
2864-5. Using the driving support systems
• The battery charge amount may be
low.
The engine is restarted to prioritize
battery charging. Operating the engine
for a short while allows the system to
recover.
●When the engine cannot be restarted
by the Stop & Start system
“Shift to N and Press Clutch” (vehi-
cles with a manual transmission)
When the engine is stopped by the
Stop & Start system, the shift lever was
moved to a position other than N without
depressing the clutch pedal.
■Stop & Start system warning mes- sages
If a system malfuncti on occurs, a warn-
ing message will be displayed on the multi-information display to inform the
driver of the need for caution. ( P.520)
■If the Stop & Start cancel indicator
continues to flash
The system may be malfunctioning.

authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
WA R N I N G
■When the Stop & Start system is
operating
●Depress the brake pedal and apply
the parking brake when necessary
while the engine is stopped by the
Stop & Start system (while the Stop & Start indicator is on). (Except
when the brake hold system is
operating or 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 con-
trol mode*)
●Do not leave the vehicle while the engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system (while the Stop & Start
indicator is on). An accident may occur due to the
automatic engine start function.
●Ensure that the engine is not
stopped by the Stop & Start system
while the vehicle is in a poorly venti- lated area. The engine may restart
due to the automatic engine start
function, causing exhaust gases to collect and enter the vehicle, possi-
bly resulting in death or a serious
health hazard.
*: Vehicles with a dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range
NOTICE

WA R N I N G
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire
and full-size spare tire: If the tire
pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure
adjustment, it is probable that you
have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, change it with the spare
tire and have the flat tire repaired
by the nearest any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Vehicles with emergency tire punc-ture repair kit: If the tire pressure
warning light comes on even after

could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leak-age should occur (vehicles with
a tire pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warn-
ing system operates properly

Do not install tires with different speci-
fications or makers, as the tire pres- sure warning system may not operate
properly.
If a war ning message is
displayed
The multi-information display
shows warnings for system
malfunctions and incorrectly
performed operations, and
