●

Keep the shift lever in N (manual transmission), depress the brake pedal
or apply the parking brake when necessary while the engine is stopped
due to the Stop & Start system (while the Stop & Start indicator is on). 
Unexpected accidents may occur due to the automatic engine start func-
tion. 

●

Do not allow anyone to leave the vehicle while the engine is stopped due
to the Stop & Start system (while the Stop & Start indicator is on).

tion.

●

Ensure that the engine is not stopped by the Stop & Start system while the
vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area. The engine may restart due to the
automatic engine start function, causing exhaust gases to collect and
enter the vehicle and resulting in death or a serious health hazard.

■

When driving off-road, such as driving through water, press the Stop & Start
cancel switch to disable the Stop & Start system. Failure to do so may
cause the engine to be unable to restart.

Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation

◆

VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) (if equipped)

Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on
slippery road surfaces

◆

TRC (Traction Control) for Pre Runner and H2 position on 4WD
