NOTICE
This is a warning against something which, if ignored, may cause damage to
the vehicle or its equipment. You are informed about what you must or must
not do in order to avoid or reduce the risk of damage to your Toyota and its
equipment.
Safety symbol

38 1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
VERSO-S_EE
Operation signals
The emergency flashers flash to indicate that the doors have been locked/
unlocked. (Locked: once; Unlocked: twice)
When the door cannot be locked by the lock sensor
Alarms and warning indicators
A combination of exterior and interior alarms as well as warning lights are
used to prevent theft of the vehicle and unforeseeable accidents resulting
from erroneous operation. Take appropriate measures for the warning light
that comes on. (P. 451)
The following table describes circumstances and correction procedures
when only alarms are sounded.
Use your palm to touch the lock sensor.

92 1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)
VERSO-S_EE
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
Wearing a seat belt
Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
Always wear a seat belt properly.
Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt
for more than one person at once, including children.
Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always
use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than
necessary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting
up straight and well back in the seats.
Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.
When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, choking or other serious injuries may result in
death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
Seat belt pretensioners
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that
case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.

SRS airbag system components
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As
the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the
airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu-
pants.Curtain shield airbags (if

VERSO-S_EE
If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
P. 489, 490
When driving with the cruise control system (if equipped)
Engine braking will not occur in M position even when downshifting to
M6, 5 or 4.
Engine braking will not occur in D position even when the paddle shift
switch is used for downshifting to D6, 5 or 4.
If the “M” indicator flashes or a buzzer beeps after shifting the shift
lever to M
This may indicate a malfunction in the Multidrive system. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same manner as when
the shift lever is in D.)
When the vehicle comes to a stop with the shift lever in the M position
The transmission will automatically downshift to M1 once the vehicle is
stopped.
After a stop, the vehicle will start off in M1.
When the vehicle is stopped, the transmission is set at M1.
Deactivation of the temporary gear steps selection mode in the D posi-
tion
In the following situations, temporary gear steps selection mode in the D
position will be deactivated:
When the vehicle comes to a stop
If the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than a certain period of
time in one gear step
When the “+” paddle shift switch is held down for a period of time
Downshift restriction warning buzzer (7-speed sport sequential shift-
matic 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 or paddle shift switches are operated. (A
buzzer will sound twice.)

200 2-1. Driving procedures
VERSO-S_EE
If the “M” indicator does not come on even after shifting the shift lever
to M
This may indicate a malfunction in the multi-mode manual transmission sys-
tem. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same manner as when
the shift lever is in E.)
If the “N” indicator is flashing
When shifting the shift lever
Shift the shift lever to N. Wait a few seconds and shift the shift lever to the
desired position.
When the engine is turned off
Vehicles without smart entry & start system: Turn the engine switch to the
“ON” position. Depress the brake pedal and shift the shift lever to N, and
then to the desired position.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system: Turn the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode. Depress the brake pedal and shift
the shift lever to N, and then to the desired position.
If the indicator still flashes after the above operations, shift the shift lever to
N and start the engine. Then, shift the shift lever to the desired position.
If the “N” indicator is flashing and warning buzzer is beeping
Shift the shift lever to N, and then to E, M or R.
Reverse warning buzzer
When shifting into R, a buzzer will sound to inform the driver that the shift
lever is in R.
Downshift restriction warning buzzer (in E mode [when the paddle shift
switches are operated] or M 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 or paddle shift switches are operated. (A
buzzer will sound twice.)

warning light flashes or turns on. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle
in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely.
