NOTICE
■
To prevent battery discharge
●
Do not leave the engine switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode
for long periods of time without the engine running.

If “POWER ON” is displayed on the multi-information display, the engine
switch is not off.
Exit the vehicle after turning the engine switch off.
●
Vehicles with an automatic transmission or a CVT: Do not stop the engine
when the shift lever is in a position other than P. If the engine is stopped in
another shift lever position, the engine switch will not be turned off but
instead be turned to ACCESSORY mode. If the vehicle is left in ACCES-
SORY mode, battery discharge may occur.
■
When starting the engine
●
Do not race a cold engine.

If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehi-
cle checked immediately.

Symptoms indicating a malfunction with the engine switch
If the engine switch seems to be operating somewhat differently than usual,
such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunction. Contact
your Toyota dealer immediately.
