2074-1. Before driving

Driving
AVENSIS_OM_OM20C79E_(EE)■
Important points regarding stability
Vehicle movement resulting from uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The vehicle may also be rocked by
passing buses or large trucks. Frequently check behind when mov-
ing alongside such vehicles. As soon as such vehicle movement
occurs, immediately start to decelerate smoothly by slowly applying
the brakes. Always steer the vehicle straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles
Consider the total combined length of your vehicle and trailer, and
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is sufficient before exe-
cuting lane changes.
■Transmission information
Multidrive
To maintain engine braking efficiency, when using engine braking,
do not use the transmission in D. Select an appropriate gear in M
mode.
Manual transmission
To maintain engine braking efficiency, when using engine braking,
do not use the transmission in 6.
■If the engine overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30C (85F) may result in the engine overheating. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge indicates that the engine is over-
heating, turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the road and
stop the vehicle in a safe place. (P. 600)
■When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under the wheels of both the vehicle
and trailer. Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P
for Multidrive, and 1 or R for manual transmission.

■Temporary cancelation of the LDA system functions
If any of the following occurs, the LDA system functions will be temporarily
canceled. The functions will resume after the necessary operating conditions
have returned.
●The turn signal lever is operated.
●The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LDA system
functions.
●When the lane lines cannot be recognized while driving.
●When the lane departure warning sounds.
The lane departure warning function will not operate again for a several
seconds after it has been activated, even if the vehicle leaves the lane
again.
■The lane departure warning
Depending on the audio system sound level or air conditioning fan noise
while the audio system or air conditioning system is in use, it may be difficult
to hear the warning sound.
■After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA may not be available and a warning message (P. 544) will be dis-
played for a while after driving has started. When the temperature in the cabin
decreases and the temperature around the front sensor (P. 272) becomes
suitable for its operation, the functions will begin to operate.
■If there are lane markers on only one side of the vehicle
The lane departure warning will not operate for the side on which lane mark-
ers could not be recognized.

■Operating conditions
●The Stop & Start system is operational when all of the following conditions
are met:
• The clutch pedal is not being depressed.
• The shift lever is in N.
• The engine is adequately warmed up.
• The outside temperature is -5C (23F) or higher.
• The windshield defogger is off.
• The power heater is turned off.
• The parking brake is not in operation. (P. 230)
• The hood is closed. (P. 298)
• The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
• The driver’s door is closed.
●In the following circumstances the engine may not be stopped by the Stop &
Start system. This is not a malfunction of the Stop & Start system.
• The air conditioning system is being used when the ambient temperature
is high or low.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged, or is undergoing a periodic
recharge.
• The brake booster vacuum is low.
• The vehicle is stopped on an incline.
• The steering wheel is being operated
• Due to traffic or other circumstances the vehicle is stopped repeatedly,
resulting in the amount of time the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start
system to become excessively high.
• At high altitude.
• The engine coolant temperature is extremely high or low.
• The battery fluid temperature is excessively high or low.
• The battery was recently replaced or the battery terminals were recently
disconnected.
When the above conditions improve, the Stop & Start system will stop and
restart the engine from the next time the vehicle is stopped.

2984-6. Using the driving support systems
AVENSIS_OM_OM20C79E_(EE)■Automatic engine start function
●In the following circumstances, the engine will automatically restart when
the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system. (In order to have the
engine stopped by the Stop & Start system again, drive the vehicle once.)
• The air conditioning system is turned on.
• The windshield defogger is turned on.
• The power heater is turned on.
• The parking brake switch is pulled. (P. 230)
• The steering wheel is operated.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The Stop & Start cancel switch is pressed.
• The vehicle starts to roll on an incline.
●In the following circumstances, the engine may automatically restart when
the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system. (In order to have the
engine stopped by the Stop & Start system again, drive the vehicle once.)
• The brake pedal is pumped or strongly depressed.
• The air conditioning system is being used.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged.
■Parking brake
●Even if the automatic engine restart conditions are met while the parking
brake is engaging, the engine does not immediately restart. The engine
restarts when the parking brake is engaged.
●If the parking brake switch is pressed while the engine is restarting, the
engine restart may be canceled. If the operation was canceled, the engine
restarts when the parking brake is engaged.
■Hood
●If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start sys-
tem, the engine cannot be restarted by the Stop & Start system or the auto-
matic engine start function. Shift the shift lever to N and restart the engine
with the engine switch operation. (P. 209, 212)
●Even if the hood is closed after the engine is started with the hood open, the
Stop & Start system does not operate. Close the hood, turn the engine
switch off, wait for a while, and then start the engine.

Driving
AVENSIS_OM_OM20C79E_(EE)■When to use the Stop & Start system
●If the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system and the shift lever is
shifted into a position other than N with the clutch pedal released, a buzzer
will sound and Stop & Start indicator will flash. This indicates that the engine
is only stopped by the Stop & Start system, not that the engine has been
turned off completely.
●Use the Stop & Start system when stopping the vehicle temporarily at red
lights, intersections, etc. When stopping the vehicle for a longer period of
time, turn off the engine completely.
●When the system cannot operate, is canceled, or is malfunctioning, warning
messages and the warning buzzer are used to inform the driver. (P. 539)
●Vehicles with smart entry and start system: Even if the engine switch is
pressed during an engine stop, the engine does not restart. Start the engine
by shifting the shift lever to N and performing a normal engine start opera-
tion.
●When the engine restarts after having been stopped by the Stop & Start sys-
tem, the power outlet may be temporarily unusable, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
●Installation and removal of electrical components and wireless devices may
affect the Stop & Start system, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■If the windshield is fogged up while the engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system
Turn the windshield defogger on. (The engine will start due to the automatic
engine start function.) (P. 394, 401)
If the windshield fogs up frequently, press the Stop & Start cancel switch to
deactivate the system.
■Air conditioning system while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start
system (vehicles with an air conditioning system)
While the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the air conditioning
system (cooling, heating and dehumidifying functions) is cancelled and it only
blows air or stops blowing air. In order to prevent the air conditioning system
from being cancelled, deactivate the Stop & Start system by pressing the Stop
& Start cancel switch.
