Installation of an RF-transmitter system
The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect elec-
tronic systems such as:
Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection
system
Cruise control system
Anti-lock brake system
SRS airbag system
Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional for precautionary measures or spe-
cial instructions regarding installation of an RF-transmitter system.
Further information regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna posi-
tions and installation provisions for the installation of RF-transmitters, is
available on request at any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional, before you scrap your vehicle.

198 2-1. Driving procedures
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)Shift ranges and their functions
Automatically selecting gears between 1 and 6 according to
vehicle speed and driving conditions. But, the gear is limited
according to selected shift range.
You can choose from 6 levels of engine braking force.
A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking force than
a higher shift range, and the engine speed will also increase.
“S” mode
When the shift range is “5” or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets
the shift range to “6”.
To prevent excessive engine speed, a function was adopted that auto-
matically selects a higher shift range before the engine speed becomes
too high.
To protect the automatic transmission, a function is adopted that auto-
matically selects a higher shift range when the fluid temperature is high.
Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer (in the “S” mode)
To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (The warning buzzer will
sound twice.)
When driving with the cruise control activated
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling
engine braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control will
not be canceled.
While driving in “S” mode, downshifting to “5” or “4”. (P. 233)
When switching the driving mode to power mode while driving in “D”
position. (P. 196)

Cruise control can be set when
Vehicles with an automatic transmission: The shift lever is in the “D” or
more than range “4” of “S” has been selected.
Vehicle speed is above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can be accelerated normally. After acceleration, the set
speed resumes.
Even without canceling the cruise control, the set speed can be
increased by first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then
pushing the lever down to set the new speed.
Automatic cruise control cancelation
Cruise control will stop maintaining the vehicle speed in any of the following
situations.
Actual vehicle speed falls more than approximately 16 km/h (10 mph)
below the preset vehicle speed.
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
Actual vehicle speed is below approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
VSC is activated (if equipped).
The switching operation continues for 5 seconds or more after the center
differential lock switch has been operated.
If the warning message for the cruise control is shown on the multi-
information display
Press the “ON-OFF” button once to deactivate the system, and then press
the button again to reactivate the system.
If the cruise control speed cannot be set or if the cruise control cancels
immediately after being activated, there may be a malfunction in the cruise
control system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
