Hood
●
If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start sys-
tem, the engine may not be restarted by the Stop & Start system or by the
automatic engine start function. In this case, shift the shift lever to P (vehi-
cles with automatic transmission) or N (vehicles with manual transmission)
and restart the engine with the engine switch operation. (
→P. 236, 239)
●
Even if the hood is closed after the engine is started with the hood open, the
Stop & Start system does not operate. Close the hood, turn the engine
switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system)
or off (vehicles with smart entry & start system), wait 30 seconds or more,
and then start the engine.

When to use the Stop & Start system
●
Use the Stop & Start system when stopping the vehicle temporarily at red
lights, intersections, etc. When stopping the vehicle for a longer period of
time, turn off the engine completely.

When the system cannot operate, is canceled, or is malfunctioning, warning
messages and the warning buzzer are used to inform the driver. (
→P. 349)
●
Even if an attempt is made to start the engine during an engine stop, the
engine does not automatically restart. Start the engine by shifting the shift
lever to P (vehicles with automatic transmission) or N (vehicles with manual
transmission) and performing a normal engine start operation.
●
When the engine restarts after having been stopped by the Stop & Start sys-
tem, the power outlet may be temporarily unusable, but this is not a mal-
function.
●
Installation and removal of electrical components and wireless devices may
affect the Stop & Start system, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
