(f) Malfunction Indicator Lamp
This lamp warns that there is a problem
somewhere in your engine electrical sys-
tem.
If it comes on while you are driving, have
your vehicle checked/repaired by any au-
thorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional, as soon as possible.
On some models—
This lamp comes on in the following
cases.
a. There is a problem somewhere in your
engine, automatic transmission electri-
cal system or electronic throttle control
system.
b. The fuel tank is completely empty.
(See “Fuel gauge” on page 124 in this
Section for instructions.)
If it comes on while you are driving in

paired by any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, as soon as pos-
sible.
Vehicles with multi−mode manual transmis-
sion or vehicle stability control system—
If engine speed does not increase when
the accelerator pedal is depressed, there
may be a problem somewhere in the elec-
tronic throttle control system.
At this time, vibration may occur. Howev-
er, if you depress the accelerator pedal
more firmly and slowly, you can drive your
vehicle at low speeds. Have your Toyota
checked by any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, as soon as pos-
sible.
Even if the abnormality of the electronic
throttle control system is corrected during
low speed driving, thesystem may not be
recovered until the engine is stopped and
the engine switch is turned to “ACC” or
“LOCK” position.CAUTION
Be especially careful to prevent erro-
neous pedal operation.

the engine is started, the light will go off.
This means thesystem of the “STOP”
warning operating properly.
This light blinks in the following cases:
DWhen the engine coolant temperature
becomes high and the engine coolant
temperature warning light blinks. If the
engine coolant temperature rises fur-
ther, the engine coolant temperature
warning light remains on and at the
same time, the “STOP” warning light
blinks. In such cases, the engine is too
hot. If your vehicle overheats, stop the
vehicle and allow the engine to cool
down.
DWhen the engine oil pressure is too
low, the low engine oil pressure warn-
ing light comes on and at the same
time, the “STOP” warning light blinks.

—Easy (E) mode
MS16006a
When Easy (E) mode is being activated,
the most appropriate gear position is auto-
matically selected upon an operation of
the accelerator pedal and a variation of
the vehicle speed.
(a) Normal driving
1. Start the engine as instructed in “How
to start the engine” on page 210 in
Section 3.
2. With your foot holding down the brake
pedal, shift the shift lever to the “E”
position properly. When the shift lever
is shifted to “E” position, the gear will
beshiftedto1st.
If the gear cannot be engaged to 1st
when the shift lever is shifted from the
“N” to “E” position, the “N” indicator
will blink and a warning buzzer (long
pulse sound) will sound. At this time,
the system will re−try shifting automati-
cally, or the driver can shift the shift
lever to the “N” position once, then
shift to the “E” position again.
DThe system will re−try shifting automat-
ically. This will take some time, noise
may be heard from the gears, and shift
shock may occur. However, they do not
indicate malfunction.
3. Release the parking brake and brake
pedal.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal slowly.In 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 remains in
neutral. The “N” in the gear position indi-
cator will blink and a warning 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 le-
ver to “E” or “M” position after the system
performs a re−try shifting. Contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional, as soon as possible to service
the vehicle.
When the gear jumped out of position
while driving, the gear is shifted to proper
gear position.
CAUTION
DDuring driving the vehicle, do not
shift the shift lever to “N”. The en-
gine brake may not work and you
may get involved in an unexpected
accident. If you return the shift le-
ver from “N” to “E” because of an
unintended shifting, the gear posi-
tion will be changed accordingly to
the current vehicle speed.
DDo not apply the parking brake
while driving. Otherwise, it could
cause a skid and you may get in-
volved in an unexpected accident.
DAlways keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This operation prevents the
vehicle starting by an unintended
activation of the starting assist sys-
tem.

—Uphill
1. Apply the parking brake firmly so that
the vehicle does not roll backwards.
2. Shift the shift lever to the “E” position
while holding down the brake pedal.
Make sure that the gear position indi-
cator in the instrumental cluster dis-
plays 1st gear.
3. Release the brake pedal and depress
the accelerator pedal gradually, and
when the vehicle starts to move, re-
lease the parking brake and depress
the accelerator pedal to start off.—Downhill
1. Hold down the brake pedal and shift
the shift lever to the “E” position. Make
sure that the gear is in 1st by using
the gear position indicator.
2. Release the brake pedal and depress
the accelerator pedal slowly. Even
though the accelerator pedal is not de-
pressed, the clutch will be engaged
when the vehicle speed increases.
NOTICE
On an uphill, never hold the vehicle
stop only by the accelerator pedal op-
eration or when the starting assist
system is being activated. Otherwise
the warning buzzer (pulse sound) will
sound and the clutch may be dam-
aged. In such a case, pull over and
shift the shift lever to the “N” posi-
tion. Wait for around 15 minutes to
cool the clutch before starting again.
(c) Using engine braking
When driving on a downhill slope, down-
shifting and the use of the engine brake
is recommended.
By placing the shift lever to “M” position,
the Manual (M) mode is selected, and the
gear can be down shifted manually.
When the outside air temperature is ex-
tremely low, the gear may not downshift
from 2nd to 1st until the vehicle stops.

and a warning buzzer (long pulse sound)
will sound. Thesystem will re−try shifting
automatically, or the driver can shift the
shift lever to “N” position once, then shift
to “R” again.
DThe system will re−try shifting automat-
ically. This will take some time, noise
may be heard from the gears, and shift
shock may occur. However, they do not
indicate malfunction.
NOTICE
zThe system will not allow shifting
to the “R” position if the vehicle
speed is over 6 km/h (3 mph). In
case the shift lever is operated un-
der this condition, the “N” indicator
in the instrument cluster will blink.
However, when the vehicle speed
drops below 6 km/h (3 mph), the
gear is shifted to reverse. Make
sure that the vehicle has stopped
completely before shifting to the
“R” position.
zOn an uphill, never hold the vehicle
stop only by the accelerator pedal
operation or when the starting as-
sist system is being activated.
Otherwise the warning buzzer
(pulse sound) will sound and the
clutch may be damaged. In such a
case, pull over and shift the shift
lever to the “N” position. Wait for
around 15 minutes to cool the

(e) Stopping
The vehicle can be stopped by depressing
the brake pedal regardless of the gear
position. This is because the clutch is
automatically disengaged to prevent the
engine from stopping. If the shift lever is
in the “E” position, the gear will be down-
shifted to 1st when the vehicle stops.
In case the driver ’s door is opened with
the gear in “E”, “M” or “R” position and
without depressing the brake pedal, a
warning buzzer (long pulse sound) will
sound.
When the engine switch is “ON” and the
vehicle speed is slower than 9 km/h (5
mph), if the shift lever is in “N” position
and the brake pedal is released (not de-
pressed) for approximately 2 seconds, the
shift lever will be locked.
Shift lock system is designed for prevent-
ing the vehicle from starting off by the
unintended activation of the starting assist
system.
The shift lock can be released by de-
pressing the brake pedal without holding
the shift lever.
CAUTION
DWhen stopping, for example, at a
traffic light, be sure to depress the
brake pedal firmly. For your safety,
apply parking brake, too, when
stopping on a hill.
DWhen racing the engine, make sure
that the gear position is in the “N”
position by the gear position indica-
tor. In case the accelerator is oper-
ated with the gear in any other
position, the vehicle may move re-
sulting in an unexpected accident.
DDo not leave your vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is running.
DWhen leaving the vehicle, stop the
engine and park the vehicle with
the gear engaged. In case you need
to leave the vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brakes
firmly, and shift the shift lever in
the “N” position. When the driver ’s
door is opened with the shift lever
in the “E” position while stopping
with the engine running, warning
buzzer (long pulse sound) will
sound. If this happens on a hill
when starting off the vehicle, the
vehicle may move unexpectedly and
cause an accident.
