IGNITION SWITCH, TRANSMISSION AND PARKING BRAKE

Ignition switch (with

standard-type ignition switch)

NOTICE

Do not leave the key in the ON position

if the engine is not running. The battery

will discharge and the ignition could be

damaged.

START—Starter motor on. The key will re-

turn to the ON position when released.

For starting tips, see page 199 in Section 3.

ON—Engine on and all accessories on.

This is the normal driving position.

ACC—Accessories such as the radio oper-

ate, but the engine is off.

If you leave the key in the ACC or LOCK posi-

tion and open the driver’s door, a buzzer will

remind you to remove the key.

LOCK—Engine is off and the steering

wheel is locked. The key can be removed

only at this position.

You must push in the key to turn the key from

ACC to the LOCK position. The selector lever

must be put in the “P” position before pushing

the key.

Once you remove the key, the engine immobi-

liser system is automatically set. See “En-

gine immobiliser system” on page 16 in Sec-

tion 1--2.

When starting the engine, the key may seem

stuck at the LOCK position. To free it, first

be sure the key is pushed all the way in, and

then rock the steering wheel slightly while

turning the key gently.

It is not a malfunction if the needle on all

meters and gauges move slightly when the

key is turned to the ACC, ON or START posi-

tion.

cates that the key is not in the vehicle. The

above message will also appear on the multi-

pressing the ENGINE START STOP button

changes the ignition switch mode as follows.

Press the ENGINE START STOP button

slowly and firmly.

If the brake pedal is depressed, the indica-

tor light will turn green, regardless of

which mode is selected. When the indica-

tor light is green, pressing the ENGINE

START STOP button once starts the en-

gine. For starting tips, see “How to start

the engine” on page 200 in Section 3.

NOTICE

If the amber indicator light on the EN-

GINE START STOP button blinks, this in-

dicates a malfunction of the push start

system. Turn off the engine immediately

and contact your Toyota dealer.

It is not a malfunction if the needle on all

meters and gauges move slightly when the

ignition switch is set to ACC, ON or when the

engine starts.

NOTICE

Do not leave the ignition switch at ON

if the engine is not running. The battery

will discharge and the ignition could be

damaged.

When the battery is disconnected or run

down, the push button start function memo-

rises the current mode. After you reconnect,

replace, or recharge the battery, the memo-

rised mode is selected automatically. In any

of these cases, turn off the engine if the en-

gine comes on.
