WARNING
■ When driving the vehicle
● On vehicles with a Multidrive, do not shift the shift lever to “P” while the
vehicle is moving.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
● Do not shift the shift lever to “R” while the vehicle is moving forward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
● Do not shift the shift lever to a driving position while the vehicle is moving
backward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
● Moving the shift lever to “N” while the vehicle is moving will disengage the
engine from the transmission. Engine br aking is not available when “N” is
selected.
● During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off
while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the
power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult to
steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 619
● Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. ( P. 208, 214)
● When stopped on an inclined surface, use the brake pedal and parking
brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward or forward and causing
an accident.
● Do not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents
that may result in death or serious injury.

VERSO_EE_OM64517E
NOTICE
■ Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
● Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for
an extended period of time.
Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
● When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.
● Diesel engine only: Make sure to idle the engine immediately after high-
speed driving or hill climbing. Stop the engine only after the turbocharger
has cooled down.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the turbocharger.
■ If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear indicators)
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualif ied and equipped professional, as soon as
possible.
The rotor damage can result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads
and/or that of the brake discs are exceeded.
■ If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually press the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle.
● It may be difficult to control your vehicle.
● The vehicle will make abnormal sounds.
● The vehicle will behave abnormally.
Information on what to do in case of a flat tire. ( P. 566, 583)

WARNING
■ Caution while driving
If the vehicle is coasting without engine power, for example if the engine
stalls, do not open a door or operate the locks until the vehicle is completely
stopped in a safe condition. Driving with the steering locked 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. 619)
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, but the power assist to these systems will
be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, 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 any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional immediately.
■ “ENGINE START STOP” switch operation
If you feel something catching or sense irregular resistance when operating
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch, then there may be a malfunction. Imme-
diately contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.

■ Operating conditions
● The Stop & Start system is operational when all of the following condi-
tions are met:
• The engine is adequately warmed up.
• The driver’s door is closed.
• The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
• The hood is closed.
• The clutch pedal is not being depressed.
• The shift lever is in “N”.
• The steering wheel is not in use.
● In the following circumstances the engine may not be stopped by the
Stop & Start system. This is not a malfunction of the Stop & Start system.
• Engine coolant temperature is too low or too high.
• The outside temperature is too low.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system: The air condition-
ing system is being used when the vehicle interior temperature is
extremely high such as after the vehicle was parked under the hot sun.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system: The windshield
defogger is being used.
• Vehicles with a power heater: The power heater is being used.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged, such as if the vehicle has been
parked for a long time and the battery charge has decreased; the elec-
tric load is large; the battery temperature is excessively low or the bat-
tery has deteriorated; or is undergoing a periodic recharge.
• The battery fluid temperature is extremely low or high.
• Due to traffic or other circumstances the vehicle is stopped repeatedly,
resulting in the amount of time the engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system to become excessively high.
• The brake booster vacuum is low.
• A large amount of electricity is being used.
• At high altitude.
When the above conditions improve, the Stop & Start system will stop and
restart the engine from the next time the vehicle is stopped.

■ The Stop & Start system protection feature
Vehicles without smart entry & start system
When an excessively loud sound is bei ng projected by the audio system,
the audio system may be automatically cut off in order to maintain power
for the Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the engine switch to the “LOCK” position then to the
“ACC” or “ON” position re-enables the audio system.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system
When an excessively loud sound is bei ng projected by the audio system,
the audio system may be automatically cut off in order to maintain power
for the Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off then to
ACCESSORY mode or IGNITION ON mode re-enables the audio system.
■ Steering wheel operation
When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel
may become heavier than when driving.
■ Hood
If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system,
the engine cannot be restarted by the Stop & Start system or by the auto-
matic engine start function. Restart the engine with the engine switch opera-
tion. ( P. 198, 202)
Even if the hood is closed after the engine is started with the hood open, the
Stop & Start system will not operate. Close the hood, turn the engine switch
off, wait 30 seconds or more, and then start the engine.
■ When to use the Stop & Start system
Use the Stop & Start system when stopping the vehicle temporarily at red
lights, intersections, etc. When stopping the vehicle for a longer period of
time, turn off the engine completely.
■ Stop & Start system warning buzzer
If the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system and the following action
is performed, a buzzer will sound and the Stop & Start indicator will flash.
This indicates that the engine is only stopped by the Stop & Start system, not
that the engine has been turned off completely.
The shift lever is shifted to a position other than “N” with the clutch pedal
released.

Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in resp onse to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.
■ ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface.
■ Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed, when the system detects a panic stop situation.
■ VSC+ (Vehicle Stability Control +)
Provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability when swerving on slippery road
surfaces by controlling steering performance.
■ TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintains drive power and prevents the front wheels from
spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn
the steering wheel.
■ PCS (Pre-Collision System) (if equipped)
P. 268
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on an
incline or slippery slope.
