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 dif-
ficult to steer a nd brake, so you
should pull over and stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.

Driving
Each time the shift lever or paddle
shift switches are operated, the
gear changes up or down one gear
and the selected gear, “1” through
“6”, will be set.
The selected gear, from M1 to M6,
will be fixed and displayed on the
meter.
When in manual mode, the gear
will not change unless the shift
lever or paddle shift switches
are operated.
However, even when in the
manual mode, the gears will be
automatically changed in the fol-
lowing situation:
When vehicle speed drops
(downshift only).
 When engine oil temperature
is high and engine speed
rises close to the red zone.
■Downshifting restriction warn-
ing buzzer
If downshifting operations are per-
formed at a vehicle speed by which
downshifting is not possible (when
downshifting will cause the engine

■Sounds and vibrations caused
by the ABS, brake assist, TRAC
and VSC systems
●A sound may be heard from the
engine compartment when the
brake pedal is depressed repeat-
edly, when the engine is started or
just after the vehicle begins to
move. This sound does not indi-
cate that a malfunction has
occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions
may occur when t he above sys-
tems are operating. None of these
indicates that a malfunction has
occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate
slightly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is oper-
ated, a motor sou nd (whirring
sound) may be heard. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
■Automatic reactivation of TRAC
and VSC systems
After turning the TRAC and VSC
systems off, the systems will be automatically reactivated in the fol-
lowing situations:
●When the engine switch is turned
off.
●If only the TRAC sy
stem is turned
off, the TRAC will turn on when
vehicle speed is more than
approximately 31 mph (50 km/h).
If both the TRAC and VSC sys-
tems are turned o ff, automatic
reactivation will not occur when
vehicle speed increases.
■Reduced effectiveness of the
EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS sys-
tem is reduced to prevent the sys-
tem from overheating when there is
frequent steering input over an
extended period o f time. The steer-
ing wheel may f eel heavy as a
result. Should this occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or
stop the vehicle and turn the engine
off. The EPS system should return
to normal after a little while.
■Automatic deactivation of
“TRACK” mode
When the engine switch is turned off
after driving in “ TRACK” mode, the
mode is automatically deactivated.

chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud
from the bottom of your shoes
before getting in the vehicle.
 If a door is opened and closed
when its side window is fro-
zen, the window safety device
will operate and the side win-
dow open/close function
linked to door operation may
not operate correctly.
If this occurs, perform the fol-
lowing after the ice has
melted.
1 Open the window to the
approximately half open posi-
tion with the door closed.
2 Press and hold the power
window switch in the
one-touch opening position.
After the window is fully
opened, continue pressing
the switch for approximately
1 second.
3 Pull and hold the power win-
dow switch in the one-touch
closing position. After the
window is fully closed, con-
tinue pulling the switch for
approximately 1 second.
The window position wil lbe reset
and the operation of the window
safety device will be canceled.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly,
keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead, and
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.

Park the vehicle and shift the
shift lever to P (automatic
transmission), or 1 or R (man-
ual transmission) without set-
ting the parking brake. The
parking brake may freeze up,
preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is
parked without setting the
parking brake, make sure to
block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dan-
gerous because it may cause
the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly, possibly leading to an
accident.
 Vehicles with an automatic
transmission: If the vehicle is
parked without setting the
parking brake, confirm that
the shift lever cannot be
moved out of P
*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is
attempted to be sh ifted from P to
any other position without
depressing the brake pedal. If the
shift lever can be shifted from P,
there may be a problem with the
shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.
