gears more smoothly. Additionally,
when the clutch pedal is operated,
the iMT helps reduce shift shock,
allowing for lighter shift operations
when driving on a winding road or
incline.
Press the “iMT” switch.
The “iMT” indicator will illuminate in
green. Press the switch again to cancel
iMT.
■The iMT may not operate when
In the following situations, iMT may not operate.
However, this does not indicate a mal- function.
●The clutch pedal is not fully depressed.
●The clutch pedal is not fully released, such as if a foot is resting on the clutch pedal.
●Shift operation is performed after the vehicle has been coasting with the
shift lever in N.
●The shift lever is not operated for a
long time after the clutch pedal is depressed.
After the shift lever is moved, unless
your foot is completely removed from the clutch pedal, the iMT may not oper-ate and the engine speed may not be
controlled optimally for the next gear change. To enable the iMT, release the clutch pedal completely and then
depress it again before operating the
shift lever.
■If the “iMT” indicator illuminates in
yellow
The iMT may be temporarily unavailable or malfunctioning. Have the vehicle
inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
The Gear Shift Indicator is a guide
to help the driver achieve improved
fuel economy and reduced exhaust
emissions within limits of engine
performance.

Opening the fuel tank
cap
Perform the following steps to
open the fuel tank cap:
Before refueling the vehicle
WARNING
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions
while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to dis- charge any static electricity. It is important to discharge static elec-
tricity before refueling because sparks resulting from static electric-ity can cause fuel vapors to ignite
while refueling.
●Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened. Wait until the sound cannot be
heard before fully removing the cap. In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck
and cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has not
discharged static electricity from their body to come close to an open fuel tank.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.Fuel contains substances that are
harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling the
vehicle. Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is stati-
cally charged. This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible igni-
tion hazard.
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.
●Do not top off the fuel tank.

cap until you hear a click. Once the
cap is released, it will turn slightly in
the opposite direction.
NOTICE
■Refueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control system to operate abnormally or dam-
aging fuel system components or the vehicle’s painted surface.
