■Electronic key battery-saving
function
When battery-savi ng mode is set,
battery depletion is minimized by
stopping the electronic key from
receiving radio waves.
Press twice while pressing and
holding . Confirm that the elec-
tronic key indicator flashes 4 times.
While the battery-saving mode is
set, the smart key system cannot be
used. To cancel the function, press
any of the electronic key buttons.
■Conditions affecting operation
The smart key system uses weak
radio waves. In the following situa-
tions, the communication between
the electronic key and the vehicle
may be affected, preventing the
smart key system, wireless remote
control and engine immobilizer sys-
tem from operating properly.
●When the electronic key battery is
depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power
plant, gas station , radio station,
large display, airpo rt or other facil-
ity that generates strong radio
waves or electrical noise
●When carrying a portable radio,
cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless communication
device
●When the electronic key is in con-
tact with, or is c
overed by the fol-
lowing metallic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is
attached
• Cigarette boxes that have alumi-
num foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
•Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When other wirel ess keys (that
emit radio waves) are being used
nearby
●When carrying the electronic key
together with the following devices
that emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio
waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
●If window tint wit h a metallic con-
tent or metallic objects are
attached to the rear window
●When the electronic key is placed
near a battery charger or elec-
tronic devices
●When the vehicle is parked in a
pay parking spot where radio
waves are emitted
If the doors cannot be
locked/unlocked using the smart key
system, lock/unlock the doors by
performing any of the following:
●Bring the electronic key close to
either front door handle and oper-
ate the entry function.

suitable gear for sporty driving
according to driver’s input and driv-
ing conditions. G AI-SHIFT operates

■Continuously variable transmis-
sion fail-safe control
The system detects malfunctioning
parts targeted (all of the solenoids
that perform the shifting function) by
the On-Board Diagnostics, and per-
forms fail-safe mechanisms, such
as restricting the shifting function or
transmission ratio control.
In this event, the malfunction indica-
tor lamp turns on.

When shifting the shift lever
between P and D, make sure that
the vehicle is completely stopped
and the brake pe dal is depressed.
*: For the vehicle be able to be
shifted from P, the brake pedal
must be depressed before the
shift release button is pushed. If

■Shift lock system
The shift lock syste m is a system to
prevent accidental operation of the
shift lever in starting.
The shift lever can be shifted from P
only when the engi ne switch is in
ON and the brake pedal is being
depressed.
■If the shift lever cannot be
shifted from P
First, check whether the brake pedal
is being depressed.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted
with your foot on the brake pedal,
there may be a p roblem with the
shift lock system. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately.
The following steps may be used as
an emergency measure to ensure
that the shift lev er can be shifted.
Releasing the shift lock:
1 Set the parking brake.
2 Turn the engine switch off.

To drive using temporary shift
range selection, operate the “-”
or “+” paddle shift switch.
When the “-” paddle shift switch
is operated, the shift range
switches to a range that enables
engine braking force that is suit-
able to driving conditions. When
the “+” paddle shift switch is
operated, the shift range
switches to a range that is one range higher than the current
range.
Changing the shift range allows
restriction of the highest gear,
preventing unnecessary upshift-
ing and enabling the level of
engine braking force to be
selected.

The selected shift range, from D1 to
D10, will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
■Gear step functions
●You can choose from 10 levels of
engine braking force.
●A lower gear step will provide
greater engine braking force than
a higher gear step, and the engine
speed will also increase.
■Deactivation of temporary
10-speed Sport Sequential
Shiftmatic mode
In the following situations, tempo-
rary 10-speed Sport Sequential
Shiftmatic mode will be deactivated:
●When the vehicle is stopped
●If the accelerator pedal is

■Brake hold system operating
conditions
The brake hold system cannot be
turned on in the following condi-
tions:
●The driver’s door is not closed.
●The driver is not wearing the seat
belt.
If any of the cond itions above are
detected when the brake hold sys-
tem is enabled, the system will turn
off and the brake hold standby indi-
cator light will go off. In addition, if
any of the conditions are detected
while the system is holding the
brake, a warning buzzer will sound
and a message will be shown on the
multi-information display. The park-
ing brake will then be set automati-
cally.
■Brake hold function
●If the brake pedal is left released
for a period of about 3 minutes
after the system has started hold-

Brake Hold*
 Continuously variable trans-
mission
The brake hold system keeps the
brake applied when the shift lever
is in D, B (vehicles without paddle
shift switches), M (vehicles with
paddle shift switches) or N with
the system on and the brake
pedal has been depressed to
stop the vehicle. The system
releases the brake when the
accelerator pedal is depressed
with the shift lever in D, B (vehi-
cles without paddle shift
switches) or M (vehicles with
paddle shift switches) to allow
smooth start off.
 Manual transmission
The brake hold system keeps the
brake applied when the shift lever
is in a forward driving position or
N with the system on and the
brake pedal has been depressed
to stop the vehicle. The system
releases the brake when the
accelerator pedal is depressed
with the shift lever in a forward
driving position to allow smooth
start off.
