accelerator pedal while starting the

engine under any circumstances.

Doing so may cause an accident

resulting in death or serious injury.

■

Caution while driving

If engine failure occurs while the vehi-

cle is moving, do not lock or open the

doors until the vehicle reaches a safe

and complete stop. Activation of the

steering lock in this circumstance may

lead to an accident, resulting in death

or serious injury.

such as the switch sticking slightly,

there may be a malfunction. Contact

any authorized Toyota retailer or

Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-

able repairer immediately.

lost. This will make it more difficult to

steer and brake, so you should pull

over and stop the vehicle as soon as

it is safe to do so.

more fuel-efficiently. The indicator

does not inform the driver about the

safe shift operation timing. The driver

has the responsibility for suitable shift

operation depending on the traffic

conditions or driving conditions (e.g.,

overtaking or driving on an uphill

slope).

This indicator supports the driver to

drive more fuel-efficiently. The vehicle

system determines the shift opera-

tion timing depending on the driving

conditions, and informs the driver by

the indicator on the meter. For details,

refer to Gear shift indicator.

1 Depress the clutch pedal firmly.

2 Shift the shift lever to the

desired gear.

Make sure to only shift gears sequen-

tially.

3 Gradually release the clutch

pedal.

If it is difficult to shift in R, shift the lever

to N, release the clutch pedal momen-
