Maximum allowable speeds
Observe the following maximum allowable speeds in each gear.
Es mode automatic deactivation
Es mode is automatically deactivated if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch
(vehicles with a smart entry & start system) or the engine switch (vehicles
without a smart entry & start system) is turned off after driving in Es mode.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted
With the shift lever in N
Depress the brake pedal to shift the shift lever. If the shift lever cannot be
shifted with your foot on the brake, there may be a problem with the shift
lock system. (P. 617)
With the shift lever in a position other than N
P. 617
If the driver's door is opened when the shift lever is in a position other

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 a 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 a 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.)

The meters and display operate when
Except hybrid vehicle
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Hybrid vehicle
Vehicles without an electronic key:
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with an electronic key:

Hybrid System Indicator
By keeping the indicator needle within Eco area, more Eco-friendly driv-
ing can be achieved.
Charge area indicates regeneration
* status. Regenerated energy will be
used to charge the battery.
*: When used in this manual, “regeneration” refers to the conversion of
energy created by the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.
Power area
Shows that the driving power is more
than the upper limit of Eco driving.
Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is driven Eco-
friendly.
Hybrid Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is driven in a
condition that promotes frequent
motor-only operation. (When the vehi-
cle is operating with low driving load,
such as when driving slowly, using
Hybrid Eco area leads Eco-friendly
driving.)
Charge area
Shows regenerative charging.
