⬛Power mode✽
⚫The power mode control will not be acti vated in any of the following situa-
tions:
⦁ When the shift lever is set to R
⚫Even when you have set the D assist switching steering switch to “ON”, turn-
ing the engine switch “OFF ” and turning it “ON” will automatically restore the
D assist switching steering switch to “OFF”.
⚫When the malfunction indicator lamp or the continuously variable transmis-
sion warning light
✽ is lit or flashing, or when the TFT color multi-information
display
✽ shows “Transmission System Malfun ction”, the vehicle will not enter
the power mode.
⬛Reverse warning buzzer
When shifting into R, a buzzer will so und to inform the driver that the shift
lever is in R.
WARNING
⬛When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift gears sudde nly. Sudden changes in engine braking
may cause the vehicle to spin or skid.
⬛To prevent an accident when releasing the shift lock
Before pressing the shift lock override button, make sure to set the parking
brake and depress the brake pedal.
If the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed instead of the brake pedal
when the shift lock override button is pr essed and the shift lever is shifted out
of P, the vehicle may suddenly start, po ssibly leading to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.

RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
Driving
4
When driving the vehicle
⚫Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and the
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road conditions.
⚫During snowfall or cold weather, water adhering to the brake system
may freeze, and the brakes may become less effective. If brake perfor-
mance is poor, paying close attention to the surrounding safety, lightly
depress the brake pedal several times to confirm that the brakes work
properly until their effectiveness is restored.
⚫When driving on snowy roads, snow attached to the back of the wheel
wells freezes and may grad ually accumulate, making it difficult to steer.
Check that there is no abnormal build-up of snow from time to time. The
lights may become dark due to snow during driving, so make sure that
there is no abnormal build-up of snow from time to time.
When parking the vehicle
⚫The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released. For
continuously variable transmission vehicles, set the shift lever to P. For
the manual transmission vehicles, set the shift lever to R on a downhill,
and set it to the gear 1 on an uphill to park. Do not apply the parking
brake at this time, and make sure to use wheel chocks.
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an unforeseen accident.
⚫When you park the continuously variable transmission vehicle without
applying the parking brake, confirm that the shift lever will not move*
with the shift lever being placed in P.
*The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any other
position without depressing the brake pe dal. If the shift lever can be shifted,
there may be a problem with the shift lo ck system. Have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer immediately.

If the electronic key does not work properly
(vehicles with key-free system)
The key-free system and wireless remote control cannot be used
when communication between the electronic key and vehicle is
blocked (➞P. 125) or when the electronic key battery is dead. In such
cases, you can open the doors or start the engine by following the
steps below.
Locking and unloc king the doors
Using the emergency key ( ➞P. 118),
you can:
a Lock all doors
b Unlock all doors
If set, the alarm will sound. ( ➞P. 73)
Starting the engine
a Continuously variable transmission vehicles: Step on the brake pedal
with the shift lever placed in P
Manual transmission vehicles: Step on the clutch pedal with the shift
lever placed in N
b Touch the electronic key to the
engine switch, as shown in the
illustration
⦁The indicator of the engine switch
lights up in green.
⦁ The alarm will shut off. (➞ P. 73)

When trouble arises

⬛Stopping the engine
As you usually would when stopping the engine, set the shift lever to P for con-
tinuously variable transmission vehicles , and set it to N for manual transmis-
sion vehicles, then press the engine switch.
⬛Replacing the battery
The method to start the engine descri bed here is a temporary workaround. We
recommend that you replace dead batteries immediately. ( ➞P. 344)
⬛Changing the engine switch mode
In step c of “Starting the engine ”, if you press the engine switch by releasing
your foot from the clutch pedal for manual transmission vehicles and from the
brake pedal for continuously variable tr ansmission vehicles, the engine will not
start. Instead, the mode changes each time you press the switch. (➞P. 185)
⬛If the electronic key does not work properly
Check whether the electronic key is set to battery-saving mode. If the mode is
set, cancel it ( ➞P. 125)

If the vehicle has become stuck
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle has
become stuck in mud, sand or snow:
a Make sure that the parking brake is applied. For continuously variable
transmission vehicles, set the shift lever to P, and for the manual trans-
mission vehicles, set it to N, then stop the engine
b Remove the dirt and snow from around the wheels
c Place wood, stones or some other material under the rear wheels to
help provide traction
d Restart the engine
e For continuously variable transmission vehicles, set the shift lever to D
or R. For the manual transmission ve hicles, make sure to set the gear
to 1 or R. Then, step on the accelerator pedal while exercising caution
If VSC/TRC is making it difficult to extricate the vehicle, turn off TRC or VSC/TRC.
( ➞ P. 233)
WARNING
⬛When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back an d forth to free it, make sure the sur-
rounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lu nge back suddenly as it becomes free.
Use extreme caution.
⬛When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause
an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
⬛To avoid damage to the transmission and other components
⚫Avoid spinning the wheels and depre ssing the accelerator pedal more than
necessary to race the engine. The tr ansmission or other parts may be dam-
aged, which may lead to an accident.
⚫Do not spin the wheels at high speed. The tires may rupture or overheat,
which may lead to an accident.
