■Operation of the engine switch
●If the switch is not pressed shortly and
firmly, the engine switch mode may
not change or the engine may not start.
●If attempting to restart the engine immediately after turning the engine
switch off, the engine may not start in
some cases. After turning the engine switch off, please wait more than 10
seconds before restarting the engine.
■If the smart entry & start system
has been disabled
If the smart entry & start system has been disabled, refer to P.357.
■Immediately after reconnecting the
battery terminals due to replacing the battery and so forth
The engine may not start. If this occurs,
turn the engine switch to ON, and start the engine after waiting at least 10 sec-
onds. Idling may be unstable immedi-
ately after the engine starts, however, this is not a malfunction.

■When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in
the driver’s seat. Do not depress the accelerator pedal while starting the
engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■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 authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualifiedand equipped profes- sional immediately.
●Vehicles with an automatic trans-mission: Do not shi ft the shift lever
while the starter is operating.

■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 in an emer-
gency
If you want to stop the engine in an
emergency while driving the vehicle,
press and hold the engine switch for
more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession.
( P.326)
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 difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull
over and stop the vehicle 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.
●Vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission: To restart the engine after performing an emergency shut-
down, shift the shift lever to N and
then press the engine switch.

sion: To restart the engine after per- forming an emergency shutdown,
depress the clutch pedal and then

■When driving with Adaptive Cruise Control or Conventional Cruise
Control activated
Downshifting can be performed even when using Adaptive Cruise Control or
Conventional Cruise Control. After
downshifting, the set speed continues. ( P.145, 146)
■Automatic gear selection when the
vehicle is stopped
When the vehicle is idling at high rpm in order to warm up, and the vehicle is on a
slippery road, the transmission may
automatically shift to 2nd gear for stop- ping and starting off.
■AI-SHIFT
●The AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable gear according to driver
performance and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in D. (Shifting
the shift lever to the M position can-
cels the function.)
●G AI-SHIFT automatically selects a
suitable gear for sporty driving accord- ing to driver’s input and driving condi-
tions. G AI-SHIFT operates
automatically when the shift lever is in D and sport mode is selected for the
driving mode. (Selecting normal mode
with the driving mode select switch or shifting the shift lever to the M position
cancels this function.)
■After recharging/reconnecting the
battery
P.361
While the engine switch is in
ON, move the shift lever with the
brake pedal depressed.
When shifting the shift lever between P
and D, make sure that the vehicle is
completely stopped.
■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 your
Toyota dealer 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.

■Downshifting restriction warning buzzer
If downshifting operations are performed
at a vehicle speed by which downshifting is not possible (when
downshifting will cause the engine
speed to enter the red zone), a buzzer will sound to warn the driver that
downshifting cannot be performed.
To enter manual mode, shift the
shift lever to the M position.
When the Gear Shift Indicator is on,
gears can be selected by operating
the shift lever or paddle shift
switches, allowing you to drive in
the gear of your choosing.
The Gear Shift Indicator display is a
guide to help the driver achieve
improved fuel economy and
reduced exhaust emissions within
limits of engine performance.
Even if upshifting operations are per-
formed, if vehicle speed is too low for
the requested gear, the gear will not
change.

1 Upshifting (+)
2 Downshifting (-)
Each time the shift lever or paddle shift
switches are operated, the gear
changes up or down one gear and the
selected gear, “1” through “6”, will be
set.
The selected gear, from M1 to M6, will
be fixed and displayed on the meter.
When in manual mo de, the gear will
not change unless the shift lever or
paddle shift switches are operated.
However, even when in the manual
mode, the gears will be automati-
cally changed in the following situa-
tion:
When vehicle speed drops
(downshift only).
When engine oil temperature is
high and engine speed rises
close to the red zone.
