WA R N I N G
■Caution while driving
If engine failure occurs while the vehi-
cle 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.
NOTICE
■When starting the engine
●Do not race a cold engine.
●If the engine becomes difficult to
start or stalls frequently, have your vehicle checked by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
■Symptoms indicating a malfunc-tion with the engine switch
If the engine switch seems to be oper-
ating somewhat differently than usual,
such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunction. Contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer immediately.
Stopping the engine
WA R N I N G
■Stopping the engine in an emer-gency
●If you want to stop the engine in an
emergency while driving the vehi- cle, press and hold the engine
switch for more than 2 seconds, or
press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. ( P.462)
However, do not touch the engine
switch while driving except in an emergency. 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 diffi-
cult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Driving
*: If equipped
*1: To improve fuel efficiency and
reduce noise, shift the shift lever to D
for normal driving.
*2: Except for M15A-FKS engine
*3: For M15A-FKS engine
■If “Transmission Oil Temp. High
Stop in a Safe Place and See Owner’s Manual” is displayed on
the multi-information display (for
M15A-FKS engine)
Reduce speed by easing off the acceler-
ator pedal. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place, shift the shift lever to P and let the
engine idle until the warning message
goes out.
When the warning message goes out,
the vehicle can be driven again.
If the warning message does not go out after waiting a while, have your vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■When driving with the cruise con-
trol, dynamic radar cruise control
or dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range activated (if
equipped)
Even when switching the driving mode to sport mode with the intent of enabling
engine braking, engine braking will not
occur because cruise control, dynamic radar cruise control or dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range will
not be canceled. ( P.314)

driver’s input and driving conditions. G
AI-SHIFT operates automatically when the shift lever is in D and sport mode is
selected for the driving mode. (Selecting
other than sport mode or shifting the shift lever to the M position cancels this
function.)

■When driving on slippery road
surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift the shift gears suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine braking
may cause the vehicle to spin or skid, resulting in an accident.

1664-2. Driving procedures
: While the engine switch is in
ON and the brake pedal
depressed*, shift the shift lever
while pushing the shift release but-
ton on the shift knob.
: Shift the shift lever while push-
ing the shift release button on the
shift knob.
: Shift the shift lever normally.
When shifting the shift lever between P
and D, make sure that the vehicle is
completely stopped and the brake
pedal 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 the shift release
button is pushed first, the shift lock
will not be released.
■Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to pre-
vent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting. The shift lever can be shifted from P
only when the engine 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 problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
The following steps may be used as an
emergency measure to ensure that the shift lever can be shifted.
Releasing the shift lock:
1 Set the parking brake.
2 Turn the engine switch off.
3 Depress the brake pedal.
4 Ply the cover up with a flathead
screwdriver or equivalent tool. To prevent damaging the cover,
wrap the tip of the flathead screw-
driver with a tape.
5 Press and hold the shift lock override
button and then push the button on
the shift knob.

To enter 7-speed sport sequential
shiftmatic mode, sh ift the shift lever
to M position. Gear steps can then
be selected by operating the shift
lever, allowing you to drive in the
gear step of your choosing.
1 Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The gear changes once every time the
shift lever is operated.
The selected gear step, from M1 to M7,
will be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
However, even when in the M posi-
tion, the gear steps will be automat-
ically changed if the engine speed
is too high, or too low.
■Gear step functions
●You can choose from 7 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.
■When the vehicle comes to a stop
with the shift lever in the M position
●The transmission will automatically
downshift to M1 once the vehicle is
stopped.
●After a stop, the vehicle will start off in
M1.
●When the vehicle is stopped, the
transmission is set at M1.
WA R N I N G
■To prevent an accident when
releasing the shift lock
Before pressing the shift lock override
button, make sure to set the parking
brake and depress the brake pedal. If the accelerator pedal is accidentally
depressed instead of the brake pedal
when the shift lock override button is pressed and the shift lever is shifted
out of P, the vehicle may suddenly
start, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
