4-2. Driving procedures

Q Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode (vehicles

with automatic air conditioning system)

Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the

air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency (P. 446). To improve air

conditioning performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode.

Q Deactivation of the driving mode

O Eco drive mode will not be canceled until the “ECO” button is pressed, even

if the engine is turned off after driving in Eco drive mode.

OPower mode will be canceled if the engine is turned off after driving in power

mode.

ODriving mode will be canceled if the transfer mode is shifted to L4 while the

driving mode is in other than normal mode. (if equipped)

Q Reverse warning buzzer (6-speed transmission)

A buzzer will sound to alert the driver if the shift lever is shifted to the R posi-

tion.

Q Operation of iMT

O When the clutch pedal is depressed and the shift lever is moved to a posi-

tion, iMT controls the engine speed to be optimal for changing the shift posi-

tion. However, iMT stops operating before the shift position is changed if the

clutch pedal is not released for a while, and the engine speed cannot be

controlled. To operate iMT again, depress the clutch pedal and operate the

shift lever.

O The engine speed may be increased when the clutch pedal is depressed,

however, this does not indicate a malfunction.

Q When iMT does not operate

In the following situations, iMT may not operate. However, this does not indi-

cate a malfunction.

OThe shift lever is not operated for a long time after the clutch pedal is

depressed.

O The vehicle moves for a while after the shift lever is shifted to N and the

clutch pedal is released, and then the clutch pedal is depressed and the

shift lever is moved to a position.

OThe clutch pedal is not completely released and depressed again.

OThe clutch pedal is not fully depressed.

Q If the warning message for iMT is shown on the multi-information dis-

play

iMT may be malfunctioning and the function is disabled. Have the vehicle

inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or

any reliable repairer as soon as possible.

4-2. Driving procedures

245

WARNING

Q Limitations of the iMT

iMT is not a system that prevents shift lever operation error or engine over-

revving. Depending on the situation, iMT may not operate normally and the

shift position may not be changed smoothly. Overly relying on iMT may

cause an unexpected accident.

NOTICE

Q To prevent damage to the vehicle

O Shift the shift lever to R only when the vehicle is stationary.

ODo not rest your hand on or hold the shift lever any time other than when

shifting.

O In order not to cause the engine to overrev, make sure to only shift gears

sequentially.

ODo not release the clutch pedal suddenly, as doing so may cause damage

to the clutch or transmission.

262

4-4. Refueling

WARNING

Q When refueling the vehicle

Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do

so may result in death or serious injury.

OAfter exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel cap, touch an

unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to

discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from

static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.

O Type A (P. 263) only: Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn

it slowly to remove it.

A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.

Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot

weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck and cause injury.

ODo not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their

body to come close to an open fuel tank.

ODo not inhale vaporized fuel.

Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.

ODo not smoke while refueling the vehicle.

Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.

ODo not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically

charged.

This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition

hazard.

Q When refueling

Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel

tank:

OSecurely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.

O Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.

ODo not top off the fuel tank.

4-4. Refueling

263

NOTICE

Q Refueling

ODo not spill fuel during refueling.

Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control

system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the

vehicle’s painted surface.

O Vehicles with DPF system:

Use the specified fuel. If fuel other than the specified fuel is used, white

smoke may be continuously emitted from the exhaust pipe during regener-

ating the filter. (P. 369)

Opening the fuel tank cap

Q Type A

Pull up the opener to open

the fuel filler door.

Turn the fuel tank cap slowly to remove it and hang it on the back

of the fuel filler door.

 Without over fender
