(c) Front Passenger ’s Seat Belt
Reminder Light and Buzzer
The light and buzzer act as a reminder to
have the front passenger buckle up the
seat belt.
Once the engine switch is turned to “ON”
or “START”, the reminder light flashes if
a passenger sits in the front passenger
seat and does not fasten the seat belt.
Unless the front passenger fastens the
belt, the light continues flashing.
If the vehicle speed rises above 20 km/h
(12 mph) with the seat belt unfastened,
the buzzer will sound for 30 seconds.
Then, if the seat belt is still unfastened,
the buzzer will sound in a different tone
for 90 more seconds. Even if the vehicle
speed drops below 20 km/h (12 mph), the
buzzer will continue to sound. To stop the
buzzer, fasten the seat belt. If the buzzer
still sounds, make sure the driver ’s seat
belt is fastened.
If luggage or other load is placed on the
front passenger seat, depending on its
weight and how it is placed on the seat,
built−in sensors in the seat cushion may
detect the pressure, causing the reminder
light to flash and buzzer to sound.
(d) Charging System Warning Light
This warning light comes on when the
engine switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, and goes off when the engine is
started.
When there are problems in the charging
system while theengine is running, the

NOTICE
When the charging system warning
light comes on while the engine is
running, malfunctions such as the en-
gine drive belt being broken may have
occurred. If the warning light comes
on, immediately stop the vehicle in a
safe place and contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
(e) Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning
Light
This light warns that the engine oil pres-
sure is too low.
If the engine oil pressure warning light
comes on, pull off the road to a safe
place and stop the engine immediately.

pairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, for assistance. The
“STOP” warning light also comes on at
thesametime.
The light may occasionally flicker when
the engine is idling or it may come on
briefly after a hard stop. There is no
cause for concern if it then goes out when
the engine is accelerated slightly.
The light may come on when the engine
oil level is extremely low. It is not de-
signed to indicate low engine oil level, and
the engine oil level must be checked us-
ing the level dipstick.
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with the
warning light on—even for one block.
It may ruin the engine.

ENGINE (IGNITION) SWITCH, TRANSMISSION AND PARKING BRAKE139
The multi−mode manual transmission is a
5−speed forward/reverse transmission.
With the basic features of the convention-
al manual transmission, the clutch opera-
tion and the transmission gear shift are
controlled electronically in the multi−mode
manual transmission.
The features are as follows:
DAny one of the driving modes, Easy
(E) mode or Manual (M) mode, can be
selected. Since this vehicle controls the
clutch operation in either mode, you do
not need to operate it by yourself.
DIn Easy (E) mode, the vehicle selects
the most appropriate gear position in
accordance with an accelerator pedal
operation and a vehicle speed varia-
tion. See “—Easy (E) mode” on page
141.
DIn Manual (M) mode, by controlling the
clutch operation and transmission gear
shift electronically, the gear position
can be shifted by operation of the shift
lever only. See “—Manual (M) mode”
on page 146.
DWhen starting the engine, always place
the shift lever in the “N” position and
hold down the brake pedal firmly. The
engine cannot be started unless the
shift lever is in the “N” position and
the brake pedal is held down.
DThis vehicle has a starting assist sys-
tem that helps the vehicle to start
smoothly by engaging the clutch. When
the shift lever is in position “M”, “E” or
“R”, the vehicle starts slowly without
depressing the accelerator pedal. The
assisting system is disabled if the
brake pedal is depressed or the park-
ing brake is applied.
DWhen stopping the vehicle, the gear
will be shifted to 1st after the vehicle
speed is reduced to a certain speed.

The multi−mode manual transmission has
a shift lock system. This is the system to
lock the shift lever in order to hold the
actual transmission gear position consis-
tent with the shift lever when the engine
switch is turned to “ACC” or “LOCK” posi-
tion.
Although the shift locksystem is being
activated, shifting the shift lever from “E”
to “M” (or from “M” to “E”) is allowed.
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 for
approximately 2 seconds, the shift lever
will be locked.
When releasing the shift lock, depress the
brake pedal without holding the shift lever.
By this operation, the shift lock will be
unlocked and it enables the driver to
change the gear position using the shift
lever.
