2-1. Driving procedures

■ When the steering lock cannot be released

The smart entry & start system indicator

light (green) will flash quickly and a mes-

sage will be shown on the multi-informa-

tion display. (→P. 411)

Vehicles with an automatic transmis-

sion

Check that the shift lever is set in P. Press

the “ENGINE START STOP” switch while

turning the steering wheel left and right.

Vehicles with a manual transmission

Press the “ENGINE START STOP” switch

while turning the steering wheel left and

■ 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 smart entry & start system indicator flashes in yellow and a mes-

sage is displayed on the multi-information display

The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any

authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped

professional immediately.

■ If the electronic key battery is depleted

→P. 360

■ If the smart entry & start system has been deactivated in a customized

setting

→P. 456

■ Immediately after reconnecting the battery terminals due to replacing

the battery and so forth

The engine may not start. If this occurs, turn the “ENGINE START STOP”

switch to IGNITION ON mode, and start the engine after waiting at least 10

seconds. Idling may be unstable immediately after the engine starts, how-

ever, this is not a malfunction.

2-1. Driving procedures

■ Selecting a driving mode

By pressing the driving pattern selector switch the following

modes can be selected to suit driving and usage conditions:

Normal mode

Sport mode

The “SPORT” indicator comes on.

Use sport mode for sporty driving or when driving in mountainous

regions with lots of curves.

2-1. Driving procedures

Manual mode driving

To enter manual mode, shift the shift lever to the M position.

When the Gear Shift Indicator is on, gears can be selected by operat-

ing the shift lever or paddle shift switches (if equipped), allowing you

to drive in the gear of your choosing.

The Gear Shift Indicator display is a guide to help the driver achieve

improved fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions within limits

2

of engine performance.

Even if upshifting operations are performed, if vehicle speed is too low for

the requested gear, the gear will not change.

Each time the shift lever or pad-

dle shift switches are operated,

the gear changes up or down

one gear and the selected gear,

“1” through “6”, will be set.

The selected gear, from “1” to “6”,

and “M” will be displayed on the

86_EE (OM18071E)

2-1. Driving procedures

When in manual mode, the gear will not change unless the shift lever

or paddle shift switches are operated.

However, even when in manual mode, the gears will be automatically

changed in the following situations:

● When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).

● When engine oil temperature is high and engine speed rises close

to the red zone.

■ When moving the shift lever out of P

If the shift lever is pushed sideways before the brake pedal is depressed,

shift lever operation may not be possible. Depress the brake pedal before

shifting the shift lever out of P.

■ Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer

If downshifting operations are performed at a vehicle speed by which down-

shifting is not possible (when downshifting will cause the engine speed to

enter the red zone), a buzzer will sound to warn the driver that downshifting

cannot be performed.

■ When driving with cruise control activated (if equipped)

Downshifting can be performed even when using cruise control. After down-

shifting, the set speed continues. (→P. 189, 191)

■ Sport mode

● In sport mode, lower gears are used and gears change at a higher

engine speed.

● If sport mode is changed to while the shift lever is in the M position, the

“SPORT” indicator will come on but sport mode controls will not be car-

ried out. Shift the shift lever to the D position.

● Sport mode cannot be changed to when driving with cruise control acti-

vated.

■ Snow mode

To prevent slipping, 1st gear cannot be selected when in snow mode.

190

86_EE (OM18071E)

2-1. Driving procedures

■ Sport mode and snow mode automatic deactivation

In the following situations, the driving mode is automatically deactivated:

● When the engine is turned off after driving in sport mode or snow mode.

●When cruise control (if equipped) is activated while driving in sport mode.

■ If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P

→P. 453

■ Automatic gear selection when the vehicle is stopped

When the vehicle is idling at high rpm in order to warm up, and the vehicle is

2

on a slippery road, the transmission may automatically shift to 2nd gear for

stopping and starting off.

■ Temporary manual mode driving (vehicles with paddle shift switches)

Temporary manual mode driving can be

*1

*2

changed to by operating the paddle shift

switches while the shift lever is in the D

position.

When this occurs, the selected gear and

“D” are displayed on the shift position and

shift range indicator.

(When engine speed rises close to the

red zone, upshifting will be automatically

performed.)

Gear Shift Indicator: →P. 189

*1: Vehicles with a monochrome multi-information display

*2: Vehicles with a color multi-information display

Temporary manual mode driving will be deactivated and normal D position

driving will be returned to in the following situations:

● When driving for longer than the set time (the set time differs according

to driving conditions).

●When the vehicle comes to a stop.

● When the accelerator pedal is continually depressed for longer than the

set time.

● When the accelerator pedal is fully, or near-fully, depressed.
