VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) CAUTION■ When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the
accelerator pedal while starting the engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Stopping the engine in an emergency
If you want to stop the engine in an emergency while driving the vehicle,
press and hold the “ENGINE START STOP” switch for more than 2 seconds,
or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. (  P. 608)
However, do not touch the “ENGINE START STOP” switch while driving
except in an emergency. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause
loss of steering or braking control, however, power assist to the steering will
be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull
over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
NOTICE■ To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in ACCESSORY or IGNI-
TION ON mode for long periods without the engine running.
■ When starting the engine
● Do not race a cold engine.
● If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehi-
cle checked by your Toyota dealer immediately.

: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suitable for
the driving conditions.
Setting the shift lever to the D position is recommended for normal
driving.
* 2
: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the pos-
sible gear ranges, controls engine braking forces, and prevents unnec-
essary upshifting.Shift position Function

VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ■ Shift ranges and their functions
● Automatically selecting gears between 1 and 6 according to
vehicle speed and driving conditio n. (However 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 br aking 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 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.

2142-3. Operating the lights and wipers
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ■ Daytime running light system
● To make your vehicle more visible to others, the high beam headlights
turn on automatically at a reduced intensity (vehicles with halogen head-
lights) or the LED daytime running lights turn on automatically (vehicles
with discharge headlights) whenever the engine is started and the park-
ing brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at
night.
Type A: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.
■ Headlight control sensor
■ Automatic light off system
Vehicles with smart key system
● When the headlights are on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30
seconds after a door is opened and closed if the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch has been switched to ACCESSORY or OFF mode.
● When only the tail lights are on: The tail lights turn off automatically if
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is switched to ACCESSORY or
OFF mode and driver’s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to
IGNITION ON mode, or turn the light switch off once and then back to the
or
position. The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing that blocks the sensor is affixed to
the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

2282-3. Operating the lights and wipers
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ■ The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
Vehicles with smart key system
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Vehicles without smart key system
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
CAUTION■ Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE■ When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■ When there is no washer fluid spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump may be caused if the lever is pulled
toward you and held continually.
■ When a nozzle becomes blocked
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.
