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.

—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.

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.

(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 CASE OF AN EMERGENCY221
If the engine will not start, your engine
may be flooded because of repeated
cranking.
If this happens, turn the engine switch to
“START” with the accelerator pedal fully
depressed. Keep the key and accelerator
pedal in these positions for 15 seconds
and release them. Then try starting the
engine with your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
If the engine does not start after 15 se-
conds of cranking, release the key, wait
a few minutes and try again.
If the engine still will not start, it needs
adjustment or repair. Call any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional, for
assistance.
NOTICE
Do not crank for more than 30 se-
conds at a time. This may overheat
the starter and wiring systems.

To avoid serious personal injury and
damage to your vehicle which might re-
sult from a battery explosion, acid
burns, electrical burns, or damaged
electronic components, these instruc-
tions must be followed precisely.
Vehicles with multi−mode manual transmis-
sion—The engine cannot be started by
push−starting.
If you are unsure about how to follow this
procedure, we strongly recommend that
you seek the help of a competent me-
chanic or towing service.
CAUTION
DBatteries contain sulfuric acid
which is poisonous and corrosive.
Wear protective safety glasses when
jump starting, and avoid spilling
acid on your skin, clothing, or ve-
hicle.
DIf you should accidentally get acid
on yourself or in your eyes, remove
any contaminated clothing and flush
the affected area with water imme-
diately. Then get immediate medical
attention. If possible, continue to
apply water with a sponge or cloth
while en route to the medical office.
