When driving
CAUTION
Caution while driving
If the vehicle is coasting without engine power, for example if the engine
stalls, do not open a door or operate the locks until the vehicle is completely
stopped in a safe condition. Driving with the steering locked may cause an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
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 START STOP” switch for more than 2 seconds,
or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. (P. 595)
However, do not touch the “ENGINE START STOP” 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 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 START STOP” switch in ACCESSORY or IGNI-
TION ON mode for long periods without the engine running.
When starting the engine
Do not race a cold engine.
If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehi-
cle checked by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional immediately.
“ENGINE START STOP” switch operation
If you feel something catching or sense irregular resistance when operating
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch, then there may be a malfunction. Imme-
diately contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.

254 2-3. Operating the lights and wipers
Daytime running light system (if equipped)
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the daytime run-
ning lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and
then the parking brake is released. (However, the daytime running
light system will be canceled when the headlight switch is operated
manually or the automatic headlight system turns on the tail lights.)
Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
Deactivating/reactivating the daytime running light system
Follow the procedure below.
Vehicles without smart entry & start system: Turn the engine
switch to the “ON” position. Turn off the headlights, tail lights
and automatic headlights system, and set the parking brake.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system: Turn the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode. Turn off the
headlights, tail lights and automatic headlights system, and
set the parking brake.
Start the engine.
You must perform step 3 within 5 seconds of starting the engine.
Push the headlight switch for-
ward and pull it back to the cen-
ter position. (Repeat this
operation 3 times or more.)
A buzzer will sound to indicate that the daytime running light system
has been deactivated/reactivated.

When driving
If any of the following occurs during the deactivation/reactivation opera-
tion, the deactivation/reactivation operation will be canceled:
• The engine is turned off.
• The parking brake is released.
• The vehicle is moving.
• The headlights are turned on.
• The tail lights are turned on.
• The automatic headlight system is turned on.
Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
The sensor may not function properly if
anything that blocks the sensor is affixed
to the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.
