■Auto power off function
Vehicles with a Multidrive
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode (the engine is
not running) for more than an hour with the shift lever in P, the engine
switch will automatically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely pre-
vent battery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the engine switch in
ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode for long periods of time when the
engine is not running.
Vehicles with a manual transmission
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode (the engine is
not running) for more than an hour, the engine switch will automatically turn
off. However, this function cannot entirely prevent battery discharge. Do not
leave the vehicle with the engine switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON
mode for long periods of time when the engine is not running.

YARIS_F_OM_Europe_OM52A54E■Steering lock
After turning the engine switch off and opening and closing the doors, the
steering wheel will be locked due to the steering lock function. Operating the
engine switch again automatically cancels the steering lock.
■When the steering lock cannot be released
Vehicles with a manual transmission
Press the engine switch while turning the steering wheel left and right.
■Steering lock motor overheating prevention
To prevent the steering lock motor from overheating, the motor may be sus-
pended if the engine is turned on and off repeatedly in a short period of time.
In this case, refrain from operating the engine. After about 10 seconds, the
steering lock motor will resume functioning.
■If the system is malfunctioning
P. 584
■If the electronic key battery is depleted
P. 537
■Operation of the engine switch
●If the switch is not pressed shortly and firmly, the engine switch mode may
not change or the engine may not start.
●If attempting to restart the engine immediately after turning the engine
switch off, the engine may not start in some cases. After turning the engine
switch off, please wait a few seconds before restarting the engine.
■If the smart entry & start system has been deactivated in a customized
setting
P. 669 Vehicles with monochrome display: The
smart entry & start system indicator light
(green) will flash quickly.
Vehicles with color display: “Steering lock
active.” will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
Vehicles with a Multidrive
Check that the shift lever is set in P.

WARNING
■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.
■ Caution while driving
If engine failure occurs while the vehicle is moving, do not lock or open the
doors until the vehicle reaches a safe and complete stop. Activation of the
steering lock in this circumstance may lead to 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 switch for more than 3 seconds, or press it briefly
3 times or more in succession. ( P. 569)
However, do not touch the engine switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. Turning the engine switch 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 switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode
for long periods of time without the engine running.
● Vehicles with monochrome display: If the smart entry & start system indi-
cator (green) is illuminated, the engine switch is not off. When exiting the
vehicle, always check that the engine switch is off.
● Vehicles with color display: If “Power on” is displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display, the engine switch is not off. When exiting the vehicle, always
check that the engine switch is off.
● On vehicles with a Multidrive, do not stop the engine when the shift lever is
in a position other than P. If the engine is stopped in another shift lever
position, the engine switch will not be turned off but instead be turned to
ACCESSORY mode. If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode, battery
discharge may occur.
■ 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 retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
■ Symptoms indicating a malfunction with the engine switch
If the engine switch seems to be operating somewhat differently than usual,
such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunction.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer immediately.

position for normal driving.
*2: By selecting gear step using paddle shift switches, you can control engine
braking forces.
Press the switch.

ing in mountainous regions.
The “SPORT” indicator will come

The gear step changes once
every time the shift lever or paddle
shift switch is operated.
The selected gear step, from 1 to
7, will be displayed in the multi-
information display.
*1: Vehicles with color display.
*2: Vehicles with monochrome display.
However, even when in the M position, the gear steps will be automat-
ically changed if the engine speed is too high, or too low.
■Gear step functions
●You can choose from 7 levels of engine braking force.
●A lower gear step will provide greater engine braking force than a
higher gear step, and the engine speed will also increase.

■Deactivation of the temporally gear steps selection mode in the D posi-
tion
In the following situations, temporally 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
■When driving with the cruise control activated (if equipped)
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control will not be
canceled.
• While driving in D or 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode, down-
shifting to 6, 5, or 4. (P. 254)
• When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in D posi-
tion. (P. 253)
■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.
■Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to prevent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting.
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in the
“ON” position and the brake pedal is being depressed.
