Vehicles with a continuously variable transmission
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode for more than 20 minutes or IGNI-
TION ON mode (the engine is not running) for more than an hour with th\
e
shift lever in P, the engine switch will automatically turn off. However, this
function cannot entirely prevent battery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle

TION ON mode (the engine is not running) for more than an hour, the engine
switch will automatically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely pre-
vent battery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the engine switch in
ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode for long periods of time when the
engine is not running.

Vehicles with a multi-information display
“SHIFT TO P POSITION TO START” will be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
n Steering lock
After turning the engine switch off and opening and closing the doors, the
steering wheel will be locked due to the steering lock function. Operating the
engine switch again automatically cancels the steering lock.
n When the steering lock cannot be released
Vehicles with a manual transmission: Press the engine switch while turning
the steering wheel left and right.
n Steering lock motor overheating prevention
To prevent the steering lock motor from overheating, the motor may be sus-
pended if the engine is turned on and off repeatedly in a short period of time.
In this case, refrain from operating the engine. After about 10 seconds, the
steering lock motor will resume functioning. Vehicles with a drive monitor display: The
smart key system indicator light (green)
will flash quickly.
Vehicles with a multi-information display:
“STEERING LOCK ACTIVE” will be dis-
played on the multi-information display.
Vehicles with a continuously variable
transmission: Check that the shift lever is
set in P. Press the engine switch while
turning the steering wheel left and right.

When the smart key system indicator light flashes in yellow (vehicles
with a drive monitor display)
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately.
n When “CHECK SMART KEY SYSTEM” will be displayed on the multi-
information display (vehicles with a multi-information display)
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately.
n If the electronic key battery is depleted
P. 469
n Operation of the engine switch
lWhen operating the engine switch, one short, firm press is enough. If the
switch is pressed improperly, the engine may not start or the engine switch
mode may not change. It is not necessary to press and hold the switch.
l 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 a few seconds before restarting the engine.
n If the smart key system has been deactivated in a customized setting
P. 535
CAUTION
nWhen 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.
n Caution while driving
If engine failure occurs while the vehicle 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.
n Stopping the engine in an emergency
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. 489)
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.

*: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suitable fordriving conditions. Setting the shift lever to the D position is recommended
for normal driving.
n Downshifting restrictions
The shift lever cannot be downshifted if the following speeds are exceeded.
mph (km/h)
n When driving with cruise cont rol activated (if equipped)
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate while downshifting to 3 because
cruise control will not be canceled. ( P. 201)
n If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
P. 534
n AI-SHIFT
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable gear according to driver perfor-
mance and driving conditions.
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position.

*: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noises, set the shift lever in D fornormal driving.
Press the switch.
Suitable for enhancing the fuel
economy, because the torque cor-
responding to the accelerator
pedal depression amount can be
generated more smoothly than it is
in normal conditions and the oper-
ation of the air conditioning system
(heating/cooling) will be minimized.
Press the switch again to return to
normal mode.
n When driving with cruise control activated
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate while downshifting to S because
cruise control will not be canceled. ( P. 201)
