■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.

■When driving with the cruise con-
trol, dynamic radar cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range activated (if
equipped)
Even when switching the driving mode
to sport mode with the intent of enabling
engine braking, engine braking will not occur because cruise control, dynamic
radar cruise control or dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range will not be canceled. ( P.355)

■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.
Shifting the shift lever
1844-2. Driving procedures
■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.
5 Press and hold the shift lock override
button and then push the button on
the shift knob.
The shift lever can be shifted while the
both buttons are pressed.
P.355
To enter 10-speed sport sequential
shiftmatic mode, sh ift the shift lever
to M position. Gear steps can then
be selected by operating the shift
lever, allowing yo u to drive in the
gear step of your choosing.
WA R N I N G
■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.
