Driving procedures
WHEN DRIVING
NOTICE
To prevent battery discharge
• Do not leave the ENGINE START STOP switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON
mode for long periods of time without the engine running.
• If
is displayed on the multi-information display, the ENGINE START STOP
switch is not off. When exiting the vehicle, always check the ENGINE START STOP
switch is off.
• 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 START STOP switch
will not be turned off but instead be turned to ACCESSORY mode. If the vehicle is
left in ACCESSORY mode, battery discharge may occur.
When starting the engine
• Do not over-rev a cold engine.
• If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have the engine checked
immediately.
Symptoms indicating a malfunction with the ENGINE START STOP switch
If the ENGINE START STOP seems to be operating somewhat differently than usual,
such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunction. Contact your Toyota
dealer immediately.
DRIVING AND PARKING USING SMART ENTRY AND START SYSTEM
Tips for using smart entry and start system
When using the smart entry and start system, it is possible to start or stop the engine as
long as the key is on your person.
For this reason, it is possible that a passenger may remove the key from the vehicle
without the driver being aware of the fact. In such a case, it is not possible to restart the
engine after having turned it off. In addition, it is possible that a person may get out of
the vehicle without being aware the ENGINE START STOP switch has not been turned
off completely. These situations will result in a warning message being displayed on the
multi-information display.
For smart entry and start system warning messages and reminders refer to “Multi-
information display” on page 93.
NOTICE
When driving or getting in or out of the vehicle, the driver should carry the key.
If the battery is disconnected or run down, the smart entry and start system memorises the
current mode. After you reconnect, replace, or recharge the battery, the memorised mode
is reselected automatically. Always turn the engine off if it comes on.
Wait 10 seconds to start the engine after the battery has been reconnected. The engine
may not start on the first try. This does not indicate a malfunction.
