■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

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.

4-2. Driving procedures
Driving
The iMT optimally controls the
engine speed to suit the driver’s
operation of the clutch pedal and
shift lever, helping the driver to shift
gears more smoothly.
Additionally, when the clutch pedal
is operated, the iMT helps reduce
shift shock, allowing for lighter shift
operations when driving on a wind-
ing road or incline.
When Sport mode is selected by
operating the driving mode select
switch, the iMT will be enabled and
the iMT indicator will come on.
( P. 3 5 5 )
■The iMT may not operate when
In the following situations, iMT may not operate. However, this does not indicate
a malfunction.
●The clutch pedal is not fully depressed
●The clutch pedal is not fully released,
such as if a foot is resting on the
clutch pedal*
●Shift operation is performed after the vehicle has been coasting with the
shift lever in N
●The shift lever is not operated for a
long time after the clutch pedal is
depressed*: After the shift lever is moved, unless
your foot is completely removed from
the clutch pedal, the iMT may not
operate and the engine speed may
not be controlled optimally for the next
gear change.
To enable the iMT, release the clutch
pedal completely and then depress it
again before operating the shift lever.
■If the iMT indicator illuminates in
amber
The iMT may be temporarily unavailable
or malfunctioning. Have the vehicle
inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
NOTICE

When shifting gears, observe the fol-
lowing precautions. Failure to do so may cause damage to the engine,
manual transmission, and/or clutch.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R with- out depressing the clutch pedal.
●Do not lift up the ring section except when shifting the lever to R.
●Shift the shift lever to R only when the vehicle is stationary.
●Do not rest your hand on or hold the shift lever any time other than when
