■Shifting the shift lever
1 Depress the clutch pedal firmly.
2 Shift the shift lever to the
desired gear.
Make sure to only shift gears sequen-
tially.
3 Gradually release the clutch
pedal.
If it is difficult to shift in R, shift the lever
to N, release the clutch pedal momen-
tarily, and then try again.
■Shifting the shift lever to R (6-
speed transmission)
Shift the shift lever to R while lifting
up the ring section.
■Maximum allowable speeds

4-2. Driving procedures
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 winding road or
incline.
Press the “iMT” switch.
The iMT indicator will illuminate in
green.
Press the switch again to cancel iMT.
■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
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
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 shifting.
●In order not to cause the engine to overrev, make sure to only shift
gears sequentially.
●Do not release the clutch pedal
suddenly.

WARNING
■Limitations of the iMT
iMT is not a system that prevents shift lever operation error or engine over-
revving. Depending on the situation, iMT may not operate normally and the shift
position may not be changed smoothly. Overly relying on iMT may cause an unexpected accident.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with
Road Sign Assist can be
enabled/disabled in on the
multi-information display. ( P.457)
When the Dynamic Radar Cruise
Control with Road Sign Assist is
operating, while driving down a hill,
the vehicle speed may exceed the
set speed.
In this case, the displayed set vehi-
cle speed will be highlighted and a
buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
■Dynamic radar cruise control can be set when
●The shift lever is in range 2nd or higher.
●Depending on the control mode, this item can be set at the following
speeds. • Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode: Approximately 30 km/h (20
mph) or more • Constant speed control mode: Approximately 30 km/h (20 mph) or
more
■Accelerating after setting the vehi- cle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating
the accelerator pedal. After accelerat- ing, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set speed in order to maintain the distance to the preceding
vehicle.
■Shift position selection
Select a shift position according to the vehicle speed. If the engine speed is too high or too low, control may be automat-
ically canceled.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
is automatically canceled in the follow- ing situations.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 km/h (16 mph).
●VSC is activated.
●TRC is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRC system is turned off.
●The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
●When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving support
system operates. (For example: Pre- Collision System, Drive-Start Control)
●When the shift lever is in N or the clutch pedal is depressed for a certain amount of time or more.
●The parking brake is operated.
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is automatically canceled for any reasons other than the above, there may be a malfunction in the system.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-able repairer.
■Automatic cancelation of constant
speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is auto- matically canceled in the following situa-
tions:
●Actual vehicle speed is more than
approximately 16 km/h (10 mph) below the set vehicle speed.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 30 km/h (20 mph).
●VSC is activated.

■The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
with Road Sign Assist may not operate properly when (if equipped)
As the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Road Sign Assist may not operate properly in conditions in which RSA may
not operate or detect correctly ( P.266), when using this function, make sure to check the speed limit sign
displayed.
In the following situations, the set speed may not be changed to the recognized
speed limit by pressing and holding the “+RES”/“-SET” switch.
●If speed limit information is not avail-able
●When the recognized speed limit is the same as the set speed
●When the recognized speed limit is outside of the speed range that the dynamic radar cruise control system
can operate
■Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard and the brake pedal response may
change, but these are not malfunctions.
■Warning messages and buzzers for
dynamic radar cruise control
Warning messages and buzzers are used to indicate a system malfunction or
to inform the driver of the need for cau- tion while driving. If a warning message is shown on the multi-information dis-
play, read the message and follow the instructions. ( P.215, 413)
■When the sensor may not be cor- rectly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depend- ing on the conditions, operate the brake pedal when deceleration of the system
is insufficient or operate the accelerator pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to cor-
rectly detect these types of vehicles, the approach warning ( P.256) may not be activated.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving in the
same lane
●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers
with no load on board, etc.)
●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
●When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the
detecting of the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing
upwards (caused by a heavy load in the luggage compartment, etc.)

●When the volume of the audio system is excessively high, sound output from
the audio system may suddenly be cut off in order to reduce battery con-sumption. To prevent the audio sys-
tem 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.

WARNING
■When the Stop & Start system is operating
Make sure to disable the Stop & Start system while the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area.
If not disabled, the engine may be automatically 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 system (while the Stop & Start indicator is on).
