Shift lock system

The shift lock system is a system to 

prevent accidental operation of the 

shift lever in starting.

The shift lever can be shifted from P 

only when the engine switch is in 

ON and the brake pedal is being 

depressed.

If the shift lever cannot be 

shifted from P

First, check whether the brake pedal 

is being depressed.

If the shift lever cannot be shifted 

with your foot on the brake pedal, 

there may be a problem with the 

shift lock system. Have the vehicle 

inspected by your Toyota dealer 

immediately.

The following steps may be used as 

an emergency measure to ensure 

that the shift lever can be shifted.

Releasing the shift lock:

1

Set the parking brake.

2

Turn the engine switch off.

3

Depress the brake pedal.

4

Ply the cover up with a flathead 

screwdriver or equivalent tool.

To prevent damaging the cover, 

wrap the tip of the flathead 

screwdriver with a tape.

5

Press and hold the shift lock 

override button and then push 

the shift release button on the 

shift knob.

The shift lever can be shifted while 

the button is pressed.

P.247

To drive using temporary shift 
range selection, operate the “-” 
or “+” paddle shift switch. 
When the “-” paddle shift switch 
is operated, the shift range 
switches to a range that enables 
engine braking force that is suit-
able to driving conditions. When 
the “+” paddle shift switch is 
operated, the shift range 
switches to a range that is one 

WARNING

To prevent an accident when 

releasing the shift lock

Before pressing the shift lock 

override button, make sure to set 

the parking brake and depress the 

brake pedal.

If the accelerator pedal is acci-

dentally depressed instead of the 

brake pedal when the shift lock 

override button is pressed and the 

shift lever is shifted out of P, the 

vehicle may suddenly start, possi-

bly leading to an accident result-

ing in death or serious injury.

range higher than the current 
range. 
Changing the shift range allows 
restriction of the highest gear, 
preventing unnecessary upshift-
ing and enabling the level of 
engine braking force to be 
selected.

Downshifting

The selected shift range, from D1 to 
D10, will be displayed on the 
multi-information display.

Gear step functions

You can choose from 10 levels of 

engine braking force.

A lower gear step will provide 

greater engine braking force than 

a higher gear step, and the engine 

speed will also increase.

Deactivation of temporary 

10-speed Sport Sequential 

Shiftmatic mode

In the following situations, tempo-

rary 10-speed Sport Sequential 

Shiftmatic mode will be deactivated:

When the vehicle is stopped

If the accelerator pedal is 

depressed continuously for more 

than a certain amount of time 

while in one gear range

If the accelerator pedal is 

depressed abruptly and heavily

When the shift lever is shifted to a 

position other than D

When the “+” paddle shift switch is 

operated for a certain amount of 

time continuously

To enter 10-speed sport 
sequential shiftmatic mode, shift 
the shift lever to M position. 
Gear steps can then be selected 
by operating the shift lever or 
paddle shift switches, allowing 
you to drive in the gear step of 
your choosing.

Downshifting

The gear changes once every time 
the shift lever or paddle shift switch 
is operated.
The selected gear step, from M1 to 
M10, will be displayed on the 
multi-information display.

However, even when in the M 
position, the gear steps will be 
automatically changed if the

engine speed is too high, or too 
low.

Gear step functions

You can choose from 10 levels of 

engine braking force.

A lower gear step will provide 

greater engine braking force than 

a higher gear step, and the engine 

speed will also increase.

When the vehicle comes to a 

stop with the shift lever in the M 

position

The transmission will automati-

cally downshift to M1 once the 

vehicle is stopped.

After a stop, the vehicle will start 

off in M1.

When the vehicle is stopped, the 

transmission is set at M1.

Downshifting restriction warn-

ing buzzer

To help ensure safety and driving 

performance, downshifting opera-

tion may sometimes be restricted. In 

some circumstances, downshifting 

may not be possible even when the 

shift lever or paddle shift switch is 

operated. (A buzzer will sound 

twice.)

If the 10-speed sport sequential 

shiftmatic mode indicator does 

not come on even after shifting 

the shift lever to M

This may indicate a malfunction in 

the continuously variable transmis-

sion system. Have the vehicle 

inspected by your Toyota dealer 

immediately.

(In this situation, the transmission 

will operate in the same manner as 

when the shift lever is in D.)

Continuously variable transmis-

sion fail-safe control

The system detects malfunctioning 

parts targeted (all of the solenoids 

that perform the shifting function) by 

the On-Board Diagnostics, and per-

forms fail-safe mechanisms, such 

as restricting the shifting function or 

transmission ratio control.

In this event, the malfunction indica-

tor lamp turns on.

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers

To make your vehicle more visible 

to other drivers during daytime 

driving, the daytime running lights 

turn on automatically when all of 

the following conditions are met. 

(The daytime running lights are

The daytime running lights remain 

on after they illuminate, even if the 

parking brake is set again.

For the U.S.A.: Daytime running 

lights can be turned off by operat-

ing the switch.

Compared to turning on the head-

lights, the daytime running light 

system offers greater durability 

and consumes less electricity, so 

it can help improve fuel economy.

Headlight control sensor

The sensor may not function prop-

erly if an object is placed on the sen-

sor, or anything that blocks the 

sensor is affixed to the windshield.

Doing so interferes with the sensor 

detecting the level of ambient light 

and may cause the automatic head-

light system to malfunction.

Automatic light off system

When the headlights are on: The 

headlights and tail lights turn off 

30 seconds after the driver’s door 

is opened and closed if the engine 

switch is turned to ACC or OFF. 

(Vehicles with a wireless remote 

control: The lights turn off immedi-

ately if 

 on the key is pressed 

after all the doors are closed.)

When only the tail lights are on: 

The tail lights turn off automati-

cally if the engine switch is turned

Automatic operating condi-

tions of the high beams

When all of the following condi-

tions are met, the high beams will 

illuminate automatically:

• The vehicle speed is approxi-

mately 21 mph (34 km/h) or more.

• The area ahead of the vehicle is 

dark.

• There are no vehicles ahead with 

lights on.

• There are few streetlights or other 

lights on the road ahead.

If any of the following conditions 

are met, the headlights will 

change to the low beams:

• Vehicle speed drops below 

approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).

• The area ahead of the vehicle is 

not dark.

• There is a vehicle ahead with 

lights on.

• There are many streetlights or 

other lights on the road ahead.

Front camera detection

In the following situations, the high 

beams may not be automatically 

changed to the low beams:

• When a vehicle cuts in front of 

your vehicle

• When another vehicle crosses in 

front of the vehicle

• When vehicles ahead are repeat-

edly detected and then hidden 

due to repeated curves, road 

dividers or roadside trees

• When a vehicle ahead 

approaches from a far lane

• When a vehicle ahead is far away

• When a vehicle ahead has no 

lights

• When the lights of a vehicle ahead 

are dim

• When a vehicle ahead is reflecting 

strong light, such as own head-

lights

• Situations in which the sensors 

may not operate properly: 

P.188

The headlights may change to the 

low beams if a vehicle ahead that 

is using fog lights without its head-

lights turned on is detected.

House lights, street lights, traffic 

signals, and illuminated billboards 

or signs may cause the high 

beams to change to the low 

beams, or the low beams to 

remain on.

The following may change the tim-

ing at which the headlights 

change to the low beams:

• The brightness of lights of vehi-

cles ahead

• The movement and direction of 

vehicles ahead

• The distance between the vehicle 

and a vehicle ahead

• When a vehicle ahead only has 

lights illuminated on one side

• When a vehicle ahead is a 

two-wheeled vehicle

• The condition of the road (gradi-

ent, curve, condition of the road 

surface, etc.)

• The number of passengers and 

amount of luggage

The headlights may change 

between the high beams and low 

beams unexpectedly.

Bicycles and other small vehicles 

may not be detected.

In the following situations, the sys-

tem may not be able to correctly 

detect the brightness of the sur-

roundings. This may cause the 

low beams to remain on or the 

high beams to flash or dazzle 

pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In 

such a case, it is necessary to 

manually change between the 

high beams and low beams.

• When there are lights similar to 

headlights or tail lights in the sur-

rounding area

• When headlights or tail lights of 

vehicles ahead are turned off, 

dirty, changing color, or not aimed 

properly

• When the headlights are repeat-

edly changing between the high 

beams and low beams.

• When use of the high beams is 

inappropriate or when the high 

beams may be flashing or daz-

zling pedestrians or other drivers.

• When the vehicle is used in an 

area in which vehicles travel on 

the opposite side of the road of 

the country for which the vehicle 

was designed, for example using 

a vehicle designed for right-hand 

traffic in a left-hand traffic area, or 

vice versa

empty

Do not operate the switch continu-

ally as the washer fluid pump may 

overheat.

When a nozzle becomes 

blocked

In this case, contact your Toyota 

dealer.Do not try to clear it with a 

pin or other object. The nozzle will 

be damaged.
