“Non-Dedicated Battery”
• A battery not designed for use with a Stop & Start system may
have been installed.
Have the vehicl e inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
“Battery Charging”
• The battery charge may be low.
Stopping of the engine is tempo-
rarily prohibited to prioritize charging
of the battery. After the engine runs
for a certain amount of time, the sys-
tem will be enabled.
• A refresh charge may be occur- ring
After a refresh charge for up to
an hour completes, the system can
be operated.
• If displayed continuously for a long time (more than an hour)
The battery may b e deteriorated.
Contact your Toyota dealer for
details.
“Stop & Start System Unavail-
able”
• The Stop & Start system is tempo- rarily disabled.
Allow the engine to run for some
time.
• The engine may have been started with the hood open.
Close the hood , turn the engine
switch off, wait for 30 seconds or
more, and then start the engine.
“In Preparation”
• The vehicle is being driven in a high altitude area.
• The brake booster vacuum is low.
When the brake booster vacuum
reaches a predetermined level, the
system will be enabled. “For Climate Control”
• The air conditioning system is being used when the ambient
temperature is high or low.
If the difference between the set
temperature and cabin temperature
becomes small, the system will be
enabled.
• The windshield defogger is on.
●When the engine automatically
restarts while stopped by the Stop
& Start system
“In Preparation”
• The brake pedal has been depressed further or pumped.
The system will be enabled after
the engine runs and the brake
booster vacuum reaches a predeter-
mined level.
“For Climate Control”
• The air conditioning system has been turned on o r is being used.
• The windshield defogger has been turned on.
“Battery Charging”
• The battery charge may be low.
The system will be enabled after
the engine runs to sufficiently
charge the battery.
■When the buzzer sounds
If the driver’s door is opened when
the engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system and the shift lever is in
D, a buzzer will soun d and the Stop
& Start system indicator will flash. To
stop the buzzer, c lose the driver’s
door.
■The Stop & Start system protec-
tion function

reduce battery consumption. To
prevent the audio system from
being cut off, keep the volume of
audio system at a moderate level.
If the audio system has been cut
off, turn the engine switch off, wait
for 3 seconds or more and then
turn it to ACC or ON to re-enable
the audio system.
●The audio system may not be acti-
vated if the battery terminals are
disconnected and then recon-
nected. If this o ccurs, turn the
engine switch off and then repeat
the following operation twice to
activate the audio system nor-
mally.
• Turn the engine s witch to ON and
then to OFF.
■Replacing the battery
P. 4 9 2
■If the Stop & Start cancel indica-
tor flashes continuously
The system may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
■If “Stop & Start System Mal-
function Visit Your Dealer” is
displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display
The system may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■When the Stop & Start system
is operating
Make sure to dis able the Stop &
Start system while the vehicle is in
a poorly ventilated area. If not dis-
abled, the engine may be auto-
matically restarted unexpectedly,
causing exhaust gases to collect
and enter the vehicle, possibly
resulting in death or a serious
health hazard.
●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.
●Depress the brake pedal and
apply the parking brake when
necessary while the engine is
stopped by the Stop & Start sys-
tem (while the Stop & Start indi-
cator is on).
NOTICE
■To ensure the system oper-
ates correctly
If any of the follo wing situations
occur, the Stop & Start system
may not operate correctly. Have
your vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.

• When driving on roads with sharp bends, consecutive curves, or
uneven surfaces

●Initialization may not have been
performed after a battery terminal
was disconnected and recon-
nected. Initialize the system.
( P.287) If this message contin-
ues to be displayed even after ini-
tialization, have the vehicle
inspected by you r Toyota dealer.
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable
Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is
displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display
A sensor may be covered with ice,
snow, dirt, etc. Remove the ice,
snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to
return the syste m to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor
at low temperatures, a warning
message may be displayed or the
sensor may not be able to detect an
object. Once the ice melts, the sys-
tem will return to normal.
■If a battery terminal has been
disconnected and reconnected
The system needs to be initialized.
To initialize the system, drive the
vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds
or more at a speed of approximately
22 mph (35 km/h) or more.
■Sensor detection information
●The following situations may occur
during use.
• The sensor's detection areas are limited to the areas around the
vehicle front and rear bumpers.
• Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the
detection distance may shorten, or
detection may be impossible.
• If an object is extremely close to a sensor, it may not be detected.
• There will be a short delay
between object detection and dis-
play. Even at low speeds, there is
a possibility that the object will
come within the sensor’s detec-
tion areas before the display is
shown and the warning beep
sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the audio system or air flow noise of
the air conditioning system.
• It may be diffi cult to hear the
buzzer if buzzers for other sys-
tems are sounding.
■Objects which the system may
not be properly detected
The shape of the object may pre-
vent the sensor from detecting it.
Pay particular attent ion to the follow-
ing objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials
that absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections
projecting outwards in the direc-
tion of your vehicle
People may not be detected if they
are wearing certain types of cloth-
ing.
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the
surrounding environment may affect
the ability of a sensor to correctly
detect objects. Part icular instances
where this may occur are listed
below.
●There is dirt, snow, water drops or
ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the
sensors will resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is froz en. (Thawing the
area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a
sensor is frozen the sensor dis-
play may be displayed abnormally,
or objects, such as a wall, may not
be detected.
●When a sensor or the area around
a sensor is extremely hot or cold.

sorsApproximately 3.3 ft. (100

Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm)
The diagram shows the detection
range of the sensors. Note that the
sensors cannot detect objects that
are extremely clos
e to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may
change depending on the shape of
the object, etc.
■Multi-information display, head-up display (if equipped) and
audio system screen
When an object is detected by a sensor, the approximate distanc e to
the object will be displayed on th e multi-information display, audio
system screen, and head-up display (if equipped). (As the dista nce
to the object becomes short, the distance segments may blink.)

■Buzzer operation and dis-
tance to an object
A buzzer sounds when the sen-
sors are operating.
The buzzer beeps faster as
the vehicle approaches an
object. When the vehicle
comes within approximately
1.0 ft. (30 cm) of the object,
the buzzer sounds continu-
ously.
When 2 or more objects are
detected simultaneously, the
buzzer sounds for the nearest
object. If one or more objects
come within approximately
1.0 ft. (30 cm) of the vehicle,
the buzzer will repeat a long
tone, followed by fast beeps.
Automatic buzzer mute func-
tion: After a buzzer begins
sounding, if the distance
between the vehicle and the
detected object does not
become shorter, the buzzer
will be muted automatically.
(However, if the distance
between the vehicle and
object is 1.0 ft. (30 cm) or
less, this function will not operate.)
The buzzer sounds volume can
be adjusted. ( P.289)
