1.Stop position.
2.Ignition on position.
3.Starting position.
► Insert the key into the ignition switch. The system recognises the starting code.
► Unlock the steering column by simultaneously turning the steering wheel and the key.
NOTIC E
In certain circumstances, you may have to turn the steering wheel firmly to move the wheels (if the wheels are against a kerb, for example).
► Turn the key to position 2, Ignition On, to
activate the engine pre-heating system.► Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument panel, then turn the key to position 3 without pressing the accelerator pedal, to operate the starter motor until the engine starts. As soon as the engine starts, release the key.
NOTIC E
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. In some climatic conditions, the following recommendations should be followed:– In mild conditions, do not leave the engine at idle to warm up but move off straight away and drive at moderate speed.– Depending on version, if the air conditioning is activated and the exterior
temperature exceeds 35 °C, the engine’s idle speed may increase, up to 1,300 rpm, depending on the cooling requirements.
– In wintry conditions, the pre-heater warning lamp will stay on for a longer period after switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off before starting.– In very severe wintry conditions (temperature below -23 °C), to ensure correct operation and durability of your vehicle’s mechanical components (engine and gearbox), leave the engine running for 4 minutes before moving off.Never leave the engine running in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation: internal combustion engines emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
NOTIC E
With petrol engines, after a cold start, pre-heating the catalytic converter can cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when stationary, with the engine running, for anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle speed).
WARNI NG
If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the starter motor again. If the engine does not start after several attempts, do not keep

98
trying: you risk damaging the starter motor and the engine.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
WARNI NG
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:– only use mats which are suited to the fixings already present in the vehicle; these fixings must be used,– never place one mat on top of another.The use of mats not approved by TOYOTA may interfere with access to the pedals and hinder the operation of the cruise control / speed limiter.The mats approved by TOYOTA have two fixings located below the seat.
