WARNING
■ Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving
Stopping the engine while the vehicle is moving for any reason other than in
an emergency is dangerous. Stopping the engine while the vehicl e is mov-
ing will result in reduced braking ability due to the loss of power braking,
which could cause an accident and serious injury.

■Recommendations for shifting
●Upshifting
For normal acceleration and cruising, Toyota recommends these
shift points:
*1: Always observe local speed limit regulations.
●Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy traffic or on a steep upgrade,
downshift before the engine starts to overwork. This gives better
acceleration when yo u need more speed.
On a steep downgrade, downshifting helps maintain safe speed
and prolongs brake life.
■ Manual Shift Mode
●Changing to manual shift mode while driving will not damage the transaxle.
● If you change to manual shift mode when the vehicle is stopped, the gear
will shift to M1.
● If you change to manual shift mode without depressing the accel erator
pedal when driving in D range, 5th gear/6th gear, the gear will shift to M4/
M5.
■ Indicators
●If the gears cannot be shifted down when driving at higher speeds, the gear
position indication will flash twice to signal that the gears cannot be shifted
down (to protect the transaxle).
● If the automatic transaxle fluid (ATF) temperature becomes too high, there is
the possibility that the transaxle will switch to automatic shi ft mode, cancel-
ing manual shift mode and turning off the gear position indicat ion illumina-
tion. This is a normal function to protect the AT. After the AT F temperature
has decreased, the gear position indication illumination turns back on and
driving in manual shift mode is restored.

WARNING
■Do not rely completely on Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is an auxiliary device for acceleratin g from a stop
on a slope. The system only operates for about 2 seconds and th erefore,
relying only on the system, when accelerating from a stop is da ngerous
because the vehicle may move (roll) unexpectedly and cause an a ccident.
The vehicle could roll depending on the vehicle’s load or if it is towing some-
thing. In addition, for vehicles with a manual transaxle, the vehicle could still
roll depending on how the clutch pedal or the accelerator pedal is operated.
Always confirm the safety around the vehicle before starting to drive the
vehicle.

3-6. ABS/TCS/DSC
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The driver will feel a slight vibration in the brake pedal and may hear a
chattering noise from the brake system. This is normal ABS syst em
operation. Continue to depress the brake pedal without pumping the
brakes.
The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Contact Your Toyota Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on
P. 526.
● Braking distances may be longer on loose surfaces (snow or grav el, for
example) which usually have a hard foundation. A vehicle with a normal
braking system may require less distance to stop under these co nditions
because the tires will build up a wedge of surface layer when t he wheels
skid.
● The sound of the ABS operating may be heard when starting the engine or
immediately after starting the vehicle, however, it does not in dicate a mal-
function.
The ABS control unit continuously monitors the speed of each
wheel. If one wheel is about to lock up, the ABS responds by
automatically releasing and reapplying that wheel’s brake.
WARNING
■ Do not rely on ABS as a su bstitute for safe driving
The ABS cannot compensate for unsafe and reckless driving, exce ssive
speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely), driv ing on ice and
snow, and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction and road contact because of
water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.
