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.
