Driving
gears more smoothly. Additionally,
when the clutch pedal is operated,
the iMT helps reduce shift shock,
allowing for lighter shift operations
when driving on a winding road or
incline.
Press the “iMT” switch.
The “iMT” indicator will illuminate in
green. Press the switch again to cancel
iMT.
■The iMT may not operate when
In the following situations, iMT may not operate.
However, this does not indicate a mal- function.
●The clutch pedal is not fully depressed.
●The clutch pedal is not fully released, such as if a foot is resting on the clutch pedal.
●Shift operation is performed after the vehicle has been coasting with the
shift lever in N.
●The shift lever is not operated for a
long time after the clutch pedal is depressed.
After the shift lever is moved, unless
your foot is completely removed from the clutch pedal, the iMT may not oper-ate and the engine speed may not be
controlled optimally for the next gear change. To enable the iMT, release the clutch pedal completely and then
depress it again before operating the
shift lever.
■If the “iMT” indicator illuminates in
yellow
The iMT may be temporarily unavailable or malfunctioning. Have the vehicle
inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
The Gear Shift Indicator is a guide
to help the driver achieve improved
fuel economy and reduced exhaust
emissions within limits of engine
performance.

■Gear Shift Indicator display
Gear Shift Indicator may not be dis- played when your foot is placed on the
clutch pedal.
WARNING
■Limitations of the iMT
iMT is not a system that prevents shift lever operation error or engine over
revving. Depending on the situation, iMT may not operate normally and the shift position may not be changed
smoothly. Overly relying on iMT may cause an unexpected accident.

and automatically turns the
high beams on or off as neces-
sary.
WARNING

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
• When vehicles ahead cannot be
detected due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear in a far-
away lane on a wide road
• When the lights of vehicles ahead are
not on
●The high beams may be turned off if a
vehicle ahead that is using fog lights
without its headlights turned on is
detected.
●House lights, streetlights, traffic sig-
nals, and illuminated billboards or
signs and other reflective objects may
cause the high beams to change to
the low beams, or the low beams to
remain on.
●The following factors may affect the
amount of time taken for the high
beams to turn on or off:
• The brightness of the headlights, fog
lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehi-
cles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has oper-
ational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-
wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradient,
curve, condition of the road surface,
etc.)
• The number of passengers and
amount of luggage in the vehicle
●The high beams may turn on or off
unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar vehicles may not
be detected.
●In the following situations the system
may not be able to correctly detect the
surrounding brightness level. This
may cause the low beams to remain
on or the high beams to flash or daz-
zle pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In
such a case, it is necessary to manu-
ally switch between the high and low
beams.
• When driving in inclement weather
(heavy rain, snow, fog, sandstorms,
