Driving
1 Stop the vehicle completely.
2 Set the parking brake
(P.174), and shift the shift
lever to P.
Check the parking brake indicator
is illuminated.
Do not press the shift release but-
ton after shifting the shift position to
P.
3 Press the engine switch.
The engine will stop, and the meter
display will be extinguished.
4 Release the brake pedal and
check that “ACCESSORY” or
“IGNITION ON” is not shown
on the multi-information dis-
play.
■ Automatic engine shut off fea-
ture
● The vehicle is equipped with a
feature that automatically shuts off
the engine when the shift lever is
in P with the engine running for an
extended period.
● The engine will automatically shut
off after approximately 1 hour if it
has been left running while the
shift lever is in P.
● The timer for the automatic engine
shut off feature will reset if the
brake pedal is depressed or if the
shift lever is in a position other
than P.
● After the vehicle is parked, if the
door is locked with the door lock
switch (P.109) from the inside or
the mechanical key (P.426) from
the outside, the automatic engine
shut off feature will be disabled.
The timer for the automatic engine
shut off feature will be re-enabled
if the driver’s door is opened.
NOTICE
■ Symptoms indicating a mal-
function 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.
Stopping the engine
WARNING
■ Stopping the engine in an
emergency
● If you want to stop the engine in
an emergency while driving the
vehicle, press and hold the
engine switch for more than 2
seconds, or press it briefly 3
times or more in succession.
(
P.390)
However, do not touch the
engine switch while driving
except in an emergency. Turn-
ing the engine off while driving
will not cause loss of steering or
braking control, but the power
assist to these systems will be
lost. This will make it more diffi-
cult to steer and brake, so you
should pull over and stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
● If the engine switch is operated
while the vehicle is running, a
warning message will be shown
on the multi-information display
and a buzzer sounds.
● To restart the engine after per-
forming an emergency shut-
down, shift the shift lever to N
and then press the engine
switch.
