WARNING
■ The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the display monitor may
respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-
shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or injury.
■ Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that
the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area
such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO)
may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.

Operation of each component
AVENSIS_OM_OM20C20E_(EE)■
Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas),
the system may not operate properly in the following cases.
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near
the ground, or in a high place w hen the doors are locked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to the rear bumper center when the tr unk or back door is locked/unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, package tray (sedan), lug-
gage cover (wagon), floor or in the glove box when the engine is started
or engine switch modes are changed.
● Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave recep-
tion conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin and the
door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the electronic
key inside the vehicle.
● As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone.
● Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the engine if the electronic key is near the window.
● The doors may unlock or lock if a large amount of water splashes on the
door handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is
within the effective range. (The doors will automatically be locked after
approximately 30 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
● If the key is kept near the vehicle while it is being washed, water applied to a
door handle may cause the door to lock and unlock repeatedly. In this event,
place the key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) or more from the vehicle, taking care
not to lose the key.
● If the key is inside the vehicle while it is being washed, water applied to a
door handle may cause a buzzer to sound and a message to be displayed.
In this event, locking all doors will cause the message to extinguish and the
buzzer to stop sounding.
● It may not be possible to lock the doors if the sensor area is covered by
mud, ice, snow etc. In this event, try locking again after cleaning the area, or
lock by touching the sensor area on the underside of the door handle.
● Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock or lock the
door.
● If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic
key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be
unlocked by the smart entry & start system. (Use the wireless remote control
to unlock the doors.)
● A sudden approach to the effective ra nge or door handle operation may pre-
vent the doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to
the original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door
handle again.

Driving
AVENSIS_OM_OM20C20E_(EE)
To drive using temporary gear step selection, operate the “-” paddle
shift switch while the shift lever in D. Changing the gear step enables
the level of engine braking force to be selected. The gear step can
then be selected by operating the “-” and “+” paddle shift switches.Upshifting
Downshifting
The selected gear step, from 1 to
7, will be displayed on the multi-
information display. To return to normal D position
driving, the “+” paddle shift
switch must be held down for a
period of time.
■
Gear steps and their 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 revolutions will also increase.

ically changed if the engine speed is too high, or too low.
■Gear step functions
●You can choose from 7 levels of accelerating force and engine
braking force.
● A lower gear step will provide greater accelerating force and
engine braking force than a higher gear step, and the engine rev-
olutions will also increase.
