Stopping the engine with the shift lever placed in other than P
(continuously variable transmission vehicles)
When the engine was stopped with the shift lever placed in other than P,
the engine stops, but the engine switch mode will not turn “OFF”. Use the
following procedures to turn off the engine.
aCheck that the parking brake is applied
b Set the shift lever to P
c After you verify that the engine switch indicator is slowly flashing in
green, press the engine switch twice
d Make sure that the engine switch indicator light is off
⬛Auto power-off function
▶Continuously variable transmission vehicles
If you leave the engine switch “ON” (the engine is not running) for 20 minutes
or longer or leave it as “ACC” for 1 hour or longer with the shift lever placed in
P, the engine switch automatically turns “OFF”.
Note that the auto power-off function is not designed to prevent the battery
from dying all the time. When the engi ne is not running, do not leave the
engine switch to “ACC” or “ON” for a long time.
▶Manual transmission vehicles
If you leave the engine switch “ON” (the engine is not running) for 20 minutes
or longer, or if you leave it as “ACC” for 1 hour or longer, the engine switch
automatically turns “OFF”.
Note that the auto power-off function is not designed to prevent the battery

⬛Steering wheel lock
⚫Opening or closing one of the doors (except for opening the back door) after
turning the engine switch “OFF” will lock the steering wheel. Operating the
engine switch will automatically unlock the steering wheel.
⚫If the vehicle’s battery is dead, the st eering wheel lock will not be activated.
⬛When unable to unlock the steering wheel
The indicator of the engine switch will
continue to flash in green at a fast
pace.
Once you have verified that the shift le ver is set to P (continuously variable
transmission vehicles), try operating the engine switch while rotating the steer-
ing wheel in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction.
⬛Overheat protection of the steering wheel lock motor
If you repeat the engine start and stop operation in a short period, the opera-
tion may be restricted to prevent th e motor from being overheated. If that
happens, stop the operation. The system will return to normal in about 10 sec-
onds.
⬛The indicator of the engine switch lights up or flashes in yellow
It may indicate a malfunction in the systems. Have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer immediately.
⬛When the electronic key runs out of battery
➞ P. 3 4 4
⬛Engine switch operation
⚫If the switch was not pushed firmly or the switch was pushed quickly several
times, the mode may not switch or the engine may not start.
⚫If you start the engine again right afte r turning “OFF” the engine switch, the
engine may not start. If you want to start the engine again after turning
“OFF” the engine switch, wait for a few seconds.

WARNING
⬛When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the
accelerator pedal while starting th e engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an unforeseen accident re sulting in death or serious injury.
⬛Caution while driving
If the vehicle starts sliding when the engine stops, do not open, lock or unlock
the doors until the vehicle stops safely . Doing so may activate the steering wheel
lock and lead to an unforeseen accident, resulting in serious injury or death.
⬛Stopping the engine in an emergency
If you want to stop the engine in an em ergency while driving the vehicle, press
and hold the engine switch for more than 3 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times
or more in succession. ( ➞P. 367)
However, do not touch the engine switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. 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.
NOTICE
⬛To prevent battery discharge
⚫Do not leave the engine switch “ACC” or “ON” for long peri ods of time with-
out the engine running.
⚫When the engine switch indi cator is not turned off, the engine switch is not
“OFF”. Before you leave the vehicle, turn “OFF” the engine switch.
⚫For the continuously variable transmission vehicles, do not stop the engine
with the shift lever placed in other t han P. When you stop the engine with
the shift lever placed in other than P and leave it as is, it could cause the bat-
tery to die since the engine switch will be set to “ACC”.
⬛When starting the engine
⚫Do not race a cold engine.
⚫If you have trouble starting the engine or experience frequent stalling, have
the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer immediately.
⬛Engine switch operation
If you experience unusual symptoms such as the switch being stuck when
pushing the engine switch, the switch may be broken. Contact your Toyota
dealer immediately.

2394-6. Driving tips
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
Driving
4
When driving the vehicle
⚫Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and the
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road conditions.
⚫During snowfall or cold weather, water adhering to the brake system
may freeze, and the brakes may become less effective. If brake perfor-
mance is poor, paying close attention to the surrounding safety, lightly
depress the brake pedal several times to confirm that the brakes work
properly until their effectiveness is restored.
⚫When driving on snowy roads, snow attached to the back of the wheel
wells freezes and may grad ually accumulate, making it difficult to steer.
Check that there is no abnormal build-up of snow from time to time. The
lights may become dark due to snow during driving, so make sure that
there is no abnormal build-up of snow from time to time.
When parking the vehicle
⚫The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released. For
continuously variable transmission vehicles, set the shift lever to P. For
the manual transmission vehicles, set the shift lever to R on a downhill,
and set it to the gear 1 on an uphill to park. Do not apply the parking
brake at this time, and make sure to use wheel chocks.
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an unforeseen accident.
⚫When you park the continuously variable transmission vehicle without
applying the parking brake, confirm that the shift lever will not move*
with the shift lever being placed in P.
*The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any other
position without depressing the brake pe dal. If the shift lever can be shifted,
there may be a problem with the shift lo ck system. Have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer immediately.
