2-1. Driving procedures

NOTICE

To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in ACCESSORY or IGNI-
TION ON mode for long periods of time without the engine running.

If the smart key system indicator light (green) is illuminated, the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is not off. When exiting the vehicle, always check
that 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 race 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.
