your Toyota dealer as soon as possi ble. If this occurs, the engine can
be force-started. Press and hold th e push button start until the engine
starts. Other procedures necessary for starting the engine such as
having the key in the cabin, and depressing the clutch pedal (manual
transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic transaxle) are required.

Turning the Engine Off
Stop the vehicle completely.
Manual transaxle:
Shift into neutral and set the parking brake.
Automatic transaxle:
Shift the selector lever to the P position and set the parking brake.
Press the push button start to turn off the engine. The ignition posi-
tion is off.
●The cooling fan in the engine compartment could turn on for a few minutes
after the ignition is switched from ON to OFF, whether or not the A/C is on or
off, to cool the engine compartment quickly.
● When the push button start is pressed from ON to ACC or OFF, the KEY
indicator light (green) may flash for approximately 30 seconds indicating
that the remaining battery power of the key is low.
Replace with a new battery before the key becomes unusable.
Refer to Key Battery Replacement on P. 436.
● Automatic transaxle:
If the engine is turned off while the selector lever is in a position other than
P, the ignition switches to ACC.
Continuously pressing the push button start or quickly pressing it two
or more times while the engine is running or the vehicle is being
driven will turn the engine off immediately. The ignition switches to
ACC.
WARNING
■Do not stop the engine wh ile 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 vehicle is mov-
ing will result in reduced braking ability due to the loss of power braking,
which could cause an accident and serious injury.
NOTICE
When leaving the vehicle, make sure the push button start is off.

When Driving
When the ignition is switched ON,
the wrench indicator light is illumi-
nated and then turns off after a
few seconds.
The wrench indicator light is illu-
minated when the preset mainte-
nance period arrives. Verify the
content and perform mainte-
nance.
Refer to Maintenance Monitor on
P. 414.
The light illuminates continuously
when the engine coolant tempera-
ture is low and turns off after the
engine is warm.
If the low engine coolant tempera-
ture indicator light remains illumi-
nated after the engine has been
sufficiently warmed up, the tem-
perature sensor could have a mal-
function. Consult your Toyota
dealer.

3-3. Transaxle
Manual Transaxle Operation
The shift pattern of the transaxle
is conventional, as shown.
Depress the clutch pedal all the
way down while shifting; then
release it slowly.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
device to prevent shifting to R
(reverse) by mistake. Push the
shift lever downward and shift to
R.
If shifting to R is difficult, shift back into neutral, release the clutch pedal, and
try again.

WARNING
■Do not use sudden engine braking on slippery road surfaces or at high
speeds
Shifting down while driving on wet, snowy, or frozen roads, or while driving
at high speeds causes sudden engine braking, which is dangerous. The
sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This could lead to
loss of vehicle control and an accident.
■ Always leave the shift lever in 1 or R position and set the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle unattended
Otherwise the vehicle could move and cause an accident.

When Driving
■Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy traffic or on a steep upgrade,
downshift before the engine starts to overwork. This reduces the
chance of stalling and gives better acceleration when you need
more speed.
On a steep downgrade, downshifting helps maintain safe speed
and prolongs brake life.

3-3. Transaxle
Automatic Transaxle Controls
Various Lockouts:
The Sport AT has an option that is not included in the traditional automatic
transaxle that gives the driver the option of selecting each gear instead of
leaving it to the transaxle to shift gears. Even if you intend to use the auto-
matic transaxle functions as a traditional automatic, you should also be aware
that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift mode and an inappropriate
gear may be retained as the vehicle speed increases. If you notice the engine
speed going higher or hear the engine racing, confirm you have not acciden-
tally slipped into manual shift mode (→P. 168).
Lock-release button
Indicates that you must depress the brake pedal and hold in
the lock-release button to shift (The ignition must be
switched ON).
Indicates the selector lever c an be shifted freely into any
position.
Indicates that you must hold in the lock-release button to
shift.

3-3. Transaxle
■M (Manual)
M is the manual shift mode position. Gears can be shifted up or
down by operating the selector lever. Refer to Manual Shift Mode
on P. 168.
WARNING
■Always set the selector lever to P and set the parking brake when park-
ing
Only setting the selector lever to the P position without using the parking
brake to hold the vehicle is dangerous. If P fails to hold, the vehicle could
move and cause an accident.
■ If the engine is running faster than idle, do not shift from N or P into a
driving gear
It’s dangerous to shift from N or P into a driving gear when the engine is run-
ning faster than idle. If this is done, the vehicle could move suddenly, caus-
ing an accident or serious injury.
■ Do not shift into N wh en driving the vehicle
Shifting into N while driving is dangerous. Engine braking cannot be applied
when decelerating which could lead to an accident or serious injury.
NOTICE
● Shifting into P, N or R while the vehicle is moving can damage your tran-
saxle.
● Shifting into a driving gear or reverse when the engine is running faster
than idle can damage the transaxle.
● Do not shift into N when driving the vehicle. Doing so can cause transaxle
damage.
