(a) Upshift and downshift
Upshifting
Pull the shift lever to the “+” direction
and release it. Every time the lever is
operated, the transmission is upshifted
1 step in the order of 1st→2nd→
3rd→4th→5th gear.
Downshifting
Push the shift lever to the “−” direction
and release it. Every time the lever is
operated, the transmission is down-
shifted in the order of 5th→4th→
3rd→2nd→1st gear.
DTo shift down smoothly, the engine
runs fast in some cases. This is done
intentionally by the system and is not
a malfunction.
DWhen driving down a hill, downshift
and use the engine brakes appropriate-
ly. If necessary, continuous shifting
down is possible. However, if down-
shifting more than 3 steps continuously,
the gear shifting will take more time.
DWhen the outside air temperature is
extremely low, the gear may not down-
shift from 2nd to 1st until the vehicle
stops.
DWhen the gear is shifting, a noise can
be heard in some case. This is not a
malfunction.
DIn case the transmission cannot be en-
gaged to a certain gear position during
shifting due to mechanical malfunction,
the gear will not be engaged and re-
mains in neutral. The “N” in the gear
position indicator will blink and a warn-
ing buzzer (long pulse sound) will
sound until the driver shifts the shift
lever to “N” position.
Unless the system recovers from the
above−mentioned condition (mechanical
malfunction), the gear will still remain
in neutral position even shifting the
shift lever to “M” or “E” position after
the system performs a re−try shifting.
If such conditions continue, contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional, as soon as possible to
service the vehicle.
DWhen the gear jumped out of position
while driving, the gear is shifted to
proper gear position.
NOTICE
Manual (M) mode dose not shift up
the gear even if the engine speed
reaches the rev−limit.

Traction control system
The traction control system automatical-
ly helps control the spinning of front
wheels when the vehicle is started or
accelerated on slippery road surfaces.
When the engine switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the system automatically
turns on.
CAUTION
Under certain slippery road condi-
tions, full traction of the vehicle and
power against front wheels cannot be
maintained, even though the traction
control system is in operation. Do not
drive the vehicle under any speed or
maneuvering conditions which may
cause the vehicle to lose traction
control. In situations where the road
surface is covered with ice or snow,
your vehicle should be fitted with
snow tires or tire chains. Always
drive at an appropriate and cautious
speed for the present road condi-
tions.
MS16014
Leave the system on during the ordi-
nary driving so that it can operate
when needed.
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the trac-
tion control system is in the self−check
mode, but does not indicate a malfunction.
When the traction control system isoper-
ating, the following conditions occur:
DThe system controls the spinning of the
front wheels. At this time, the slip indi-
cator light blinks.
DYou may feel vibration or noise in your
vehicle, caused by operation of the
brakes. This indicates the system is
functioning properly.
The slip indicator light comes on for a few
seconds when the engine switch is turned
to the “ON” position. If the indicator light
does not come on when the engine switch
is turned on, contact any authorized Toyo-
ta dealer or repairer, or another duly qual-
ified and equipped professional.

“VSC” warning light
This light warns that there is a problem
somewhere in the traction control system
or the vehicle stability control system.
The light will come on when the engine
switch is turned to the “ON” position and
will go off after a few seconds.
If the light comes on while driving, the
systemdoes not work. However, as con-
ventional braking operates when applied,
there is no problem to continue your driv-
ing.
In the following cases, contact any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional:
DThe warning light does not come on
after the engine switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
DThe warning light remains on after the
engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position.
DThe warning light comes on while driv-
ing.The vehicle stability controlsystem au-
tomatically controls the brakes and en-
gine to help prevent the vehicle from
skidding when cornering on a slippery
road surface or operating steering
wheel abruptly.
The vehicle stability control system is acti-
vated when the vehicle speed is more
than 15 km/h (9 mph).
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the sys-
tem is in the self−check mode but does
not indicate a malfunction.
CAUTION
DDo not rely excessively on the ve-
hicle stability controlsystem. Even
if the system is operating, you
must always drive carefully and at-
tentively. Reckless driving will re-
sult in an unexpected accident and
cause death or serious injury. If the
slip indicator light blinks, and spe-
cial care should be taken while
driving.
DOnly use tires of specified size. The
size, manufacture, brand and tread
pattern for all 4 tires should be the
same. If you use the tires other
than specified, or different type or
size, the vehicle stability control
system may not function correctly.
When replacing the tires or wheels,
contact any authorized Toyota deal-
er or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied professional. (See “Checking
and replacing tires” on page 270 in
Section 7−2.)
DIn situations where the road surface
is covered with ice or snow, your
vehicle should be fitted with snow
tire or tire chains.

ther scan the tracks on a specific disc or
scan the first tracks of all the discs in the
magazine.
Scanning the tracks on a disc:
Quickly push and release “SCAN”. “SCAN”
will appear on the display and the player
will scan all the tracks on the disc you
are listening to. If you hear a beep, you
held the button too long, and the player
will scan the first tracks of all the discs
in the magazine. To select a track, push
the “SCAN” a second time. If the player
scanned all the tracks on the disc, it will
stop scanning.
Compact disc changer only—
Scanning for the first tracks of all the
discs in the magazine:
Push and hold “SCAN” until you hear a
beep. “D−SCAN” will appear on the dis-
play and the player will perform the first
track of the next disc. To select a disc,
push the “SCAN” a second time. If the
player has scanned all the discs, it will
stop scanning.
ST (Stereo reception) display
Your radio automatically changes to stereo
reception when a stereo broadcast is re-
ceived. “ST” appears on the display. If the
signal becomes weak, the radio reduces
the amount of channel separation to prev-
ent the weak signal from creating noise.
If the signal becomes extremely weak, the
radio switches from stereo to mono recep-
tion.TA (Traffic Announcement)
This button is used for receiving TA sta-
tions all over the band.
EON (Enhanced Other Network) sys-
tem—If the RDS station (with EON data)
you are listening to is not broadcasting a
traffic information program at the TA (Traf-
fic Announcement) mode, the radio will be
switched to the traffic information program
automatically by using the EON AF list.
After the traffic information ends, the radio
will return to the initial program automati-
cally. A beep will sound to tell you when
this feature starts and ends the operation.
When receiving FM:
Push “TA” to switch the radio mode to TP
(Traffic Program). “TP” will appear on the
display.
In the TP mode, the radio will begin seek-
ing a TP station. If the radio seek out a
TP station, the program name will appear
on the display. If the TA station is re-
ceived, the radio will be switched to the
traffic information program automatically.
When the program ends, the initial opera-
tion resumes. When also in AF mode, the
radio will seek a TP station by using the
AF list.
Push “TA” once again to switch the radio
mode to TA. “TA” will appear on the dis-
play and the radio will mute the volume
of FM station.
In the TA mode, the radio will begin seek-
ing a TP station. It sounds only when a
TP station is received. When a TP station
is received, the program service name will
appear on the display. In the AF mode,
the radio will also begin seeking a TP
station by using the AF list.
While the radio is seeking a TP station,
“TP SEEK” appears on the display. If the
radio cannot seek out any TP stations,
“NOTHING” will appear on the display for
2 seconds and the radio will begin seek-
ing a TP station again.
AYGO WE 99E37E11 02.18

170AUDIO SYSTEM
If the TP signal is halted for 20 seconds
after the TP mode was set, the radio will
seek another TP station automatically.
When listening to a tape or compact disc:
Push “TA” to switch the radio mode to TA.
“TA” will appear on the display.
When the traffic information program
starts, the “CD” mode is interrupted and
the traffic information is automatically
broadcasted. When the program ends, the
initial operation resumes.
“TA” volume memory function—The volume
at receiving the traffic announcement is
memorized.
The range of volume memory is limited:
if the volume received previously is grater
than the maximum range of the volume,
this will become the maximum range and
if it is less than the minimum, this volume
will be the minimum range.
You can adjust the volume independently
from the memorized “TA” volume range
while receiving a “TA” station.
To return to the normal mode from the TA
mode, push “TA” once again.
NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system op-
erations:
zBe careful not to spill beverages
over the audio system.
zDo not put anything other than a
cassette tape or CD into the cas-
sette tape slot or CD slot.
zThe use of a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the au-
dio system which you are listening
to. However, this does not indicate
a malfunction.
RADIO RECEPTION
FM broadcasts have a range of about 40
km or 25 miles. When driving away from
a station, you may have to fine−tune the
radio and turn up the volume as the sta-
tion gets weaker. Because FM uses a
line−of−sight signal, tall buildings or hills
may sometimes block reception. These
are all normal characteristics of FM recep-
tion and do not indicate any problem with
the radio itself.

180AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
Air flow selector settings
MS18002d
: On some models
Operating tips
DTo cool off your Toyota after it has
been parked in the hot sun, drive with
the windows open for a few minutes.
This vents the hot air, allowing the air
conditioning to cool the interior more
quickly.
DMake sure the air intake grilles in front
of the windshield are not blocked (by
leaves or snow, for example).
DKeep the area under the front seats
clear to allow air to circulate through-
out the vehicle.
DOn cold days, set the fan speed to
high for a minute to help clear the
intake ducts of snow or moisture. This
can reduce the amount of fogging on
the windows.
DWith air conditioning:When driving
on dusty roads, close all windows. If
dust thrown up by the vehicle is still
drawn into the vehicle after closing the
windows, it is recommended that the
air intake selector be set to FRESH
and the fan speed selector to any set-
ting except “
”(OFF).
DWith air conditioning:If following
another vehicle on a dusty road, or
driving in windy and dusty conditions,
it is recommended that the air intake
selector be temporarily set to RECIR-
CULATE, which will close off the out-
side passage and prevent outside air
and dust from entering the vehicle inte-
rior.
DDuring use, various odors from inside
and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning
system. This may then causeodor to
be emitted from the vents.
DTo reduce potential odors from occur-
ring:
It is recommended that the air condi-
tioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.

instructions supplied with the clips.
MS19010
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driv-
er ’s floor mat to slip, possibly inter-
fering with the pedals while driving.
An unexpectedly high speed may re-
sult or it may become difficult to
stop the vehicle, leading to a serious
accident.

200INFORMATION BEFORE DRIVING YOUR TOYOTA
Brake system
The tandem master cylinder brakesystem
is a hydraulic system with two separate
sub−systems. If either sub−system should
fail, the other will still work. However, the
pedal will be harder to press, and your
stopping distance will increase. Also, the
brake system warning light may come on.
CAUTION
Do not drive your vehicle with only a
single brake system. Have your
brakes fixed immediately.
BRAKE BOOSTER
The brake booster uses engine vacuum to
power−assist the brakes. If the engine
should quit while you are driving, you can
bringthevehicletoastopwithnormal
pedal pressure. There is enough reserved
vacuum for one or two stops—but no
more!
CAUTION
DDo not pump the brake pedal if the
engine stalls. Each push on the
pedal uses up the reserved vacuum.
DEven if the power assist is com-
pletely lost, the brakes will still
work. But you will have to push the
pedal hard, much harder than nor-
mal. And your braking distance will
increase.
ANTI−LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
The anti−lock brake system is designed
to help prevent lock−up of the wheels
during a sudden braking or braking on
slippery road surfaces. This assists in
providing directional stability and steer-
ing performance of the vehicle under
these circumstances.
Effective way to press the ABS brake
pedal:
When the anti−lock brake system func-
tion is in action, you may feel the brake
pedal pulsating and hear a noise. In this
situation, to let the anti−lock brake sys-
tem work for you, just hold the brake
pedal down more firmly. Do not pump
the brake in a panic stop. This will re-
sult in reduced braking performance.
The anti−lock brake system becomes op-
erative after the vehicle has accelerated
to a speed in excess of approximately 10
km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when the
vehicle decelerates to a speed below
approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
Depressing the brake pedal on slippery
road surfaces such as on a manhole cov-
er, a steel plate at a construction site,
joints in a bridge, etc. on a rainy day
tends to activate the anti−lock brake sys-
tem.
You may hear a click or motor sound in
the engine compartment for a few seconds
when the engine is started or just after
the vehicle begins to move. This means
that the anti−lock brake system is in self−
check mode, and does not indicate a mal-
function.
When the anti−lock brake system is ac-
tivated, the following conditions may
occur. They do not indicate a malfunc-
tion of the system:
AYGO WE 99E37E11 02.18

STARTING AND DRIVING211
Before starting the engine, be sure to
follow the instructions in “(a) Before
cranking”.
Normal starting procedure
The multiport fuel injection system/sequen-
tial multiport fuel injection system in your
engine automatically controls the proper
air−fuel mixture for starting. You can start
a cold or hot engine as follows:
Multi−mode manual transmission:With
your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn
the engine switch to the “START” posi-
tion and crank the engine while depress-
ing the brake pedal. Release the key
when the engine starts. The engine can-
not be cranked if the shift lever is in a
position except “N” or the brake pedal
is not depressed.
Manual transmission:With your foot off
the accelerator pedal, crank the engine
by turning the engine switch to the
“START” position. Release it when the
engine starts.
Engine should be warmed up by driving,
not idling. For warming up drive with a
smoothly turning engine until the engine
coolant temperature is within the normal
range.
If the engine stalls...
Simply restart it, using the correct proce-
dure given in normal starting.
If the engine will not start...
See “If your vehicle will not start” on page
220 in Section 4.
NOTICE
zDo not crank for more than 30 se-
conds at a time. This may overheat
the starter and wiring systems.
zDo not race a cold engine.
zIf the engine becomes difficult to
start or stalls frequently, have the
engine checked immediately.
Pre−trip safety check
It is a good idea to do a safety check
before starting out on a trip. A few min-
utes of checking can help ensure safe and
pleasant driving. Just a basic familiarity
with your vehicle is required and a careful
eye! Or, if you would like, any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional, will
be pleased to make this check for you at
nominal cost.
CAUTION
If you make this check in an enclosed
garage, make sure there is adequate
ventilation. Engine exhaust is poison-
ous.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
Outside the vehicle
Tires.Check the pressure with a gauge
and look carefully for cuts, damage, or
excessive wear.
Wheel bolts.Make sure no bolts are mis-
sing or loose.
Fluid leaks.After the vehicle has been
parked for a while, check underneath for
leaking fuel, oil, water, or fluid. (Water
dripping from the air conditioning after use
is normal.)
Lights.Make sure the headlights, stop
lights, tail lights, turn signals and other
lights are all working. Check the headlight
aim.
Inside the vehicle
Spare tire, jack and wheel bolt wrench.
Check the spare tire pressure and make
sure you have your jack and wheel bolt
wrench.

(b) Starting the engine

STARTING AND DRIVING213
DAlways slow down in gusty crosswinds.
This will allow you much better control.
DDrive slowly onto curbs and, if pos-
sible, at a right angle. Avoid driving
onto high, sharp−edged objects and
other road hazards. Failure to do so
can lead to severe tire damage such
as a tire burst.
Drive slowly when passing over bumps
or travelling on a bumpy road. Other-
wise, the impact could cause severe
damage to the tires and/or wheels.
DWhen parking on a hill, turn the front
wheels until they touch the curb so
that the vehicle will not roll. Apply the
parking brake, and place the transmis-
sion in “M(1)”, “E(1)” or “R” (multi−
mode manual transmission), or first or
reverse (manual transmission). If nec-
essary, block the wheels.
DWashing your vehicle or driving through
deep water may get the brakes wet. To
see whether they are wet, check that
there is no traffic near you, and then
press the pedal lightly. If you do not
feel a normal braking force, the brakes
are probably wet. To dry them, drive
the vehicle cautiously while lightly
pressing the brake pedal with the park-
ing brake applied. If they still do not
work safely, pull to the side of the road
and call any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional, for assis-
tance.
CAUTION
DBefore driving off, make sure the
parking brake is fully released and
the parking brake reminder light is
off.
DDo not leave your vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is running.
DDo not rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving. It can cause
dangerous overheating, needless
wear, and poor fuel economy.
DTo drive down a long or steep hill,
reduce your speed and downshift.
Remember, if you ride the brakes
excessively, they may overheat and
not work properly.
DBe careful when accelerating, up-
shifting, downshifting or braking on
a slippery surface. Sudden accelera-
tion or engine braking could cause
the vehicle to skid or spin.
DDo not continue normal driving
when the brakes are wet. If they are
wet, your vehicle will require a
longer stopping distance, and it
may pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Also, the park-
ing brake will not hold the vehicle
securely.
NOTICE
zDo not depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time dur-
ing driving. If the brake pedal is
depressed while driving with the ac-
celerator pedal depressed, driving
torque may be restrained.
zDo not use the accelerator pedal or
depress the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time to hold the
vehicle on a hill.
