"ON" ÿ Engine is on and all accessories are on.

This is the normal driving position.

"ACC" ÿ Accessories such as the radio are working

but the engine is off.

If you leave the key in the "ACC" or "LOCK" position and

open the driver's door, a buzzer will alert you to remove

the key.

"LOCK" ÿ The engine is switched off and the steering

wheel is locked. The key can only be removed in this

position.

For vehicles with automatic transmission, the selector

lever must be moved to the "P" position before turning

Anti-slip system

The anti-skid system automatically helps prevent

the front wheels from spinning when the vehicle

starts off or accelerates on slippery surfaces.

NOTICE

Do not downshift if you are driving faster than

the maximum permitted speed for the next lower

gear.

When the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position,

the system will automatically turn on.

Principles of proper driving

WARNING

• If it is difficult to shift into reverse, shift into

neutral, release the clutch pedal momentarily,

then try again.

Under certain conditions, the road surface can

be so slippery that even with the help of an anti-

skid system, it is not possible to ensure full

traction of the vehicle and transmission of

driving force to the front wheels. Do not subject

the vehicle to driving speeds and maneuvers

that could lead to wheel slippage. In situations

where the road surface is covered with ice or

snow, the vehicle should be equipped with

winter tires or snow chains. Always drive at a

reasonable and safe speed, adapted to the

road conditions.

• When towing a trailer, do not use fifth gear (5-speed manual

transmission) or sixth gear (6-speed manual transmission)

to maintain engine braking efficiency.

WARNING

Be careful when shifting on slippery surfaces.

Sharp shifting can cause the vehicle's wheels

to skid or slip.

NOTICE

u Do not use a gear other than first when

moving forward. Doing so may damage the

clutch.

u Before shifting into reverse, make sure that

the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

Vehicle stability control system

The vehicle stability control system helps provide

comprehensive control of systems such as anti-lock

braking system, anti-skid system, engine management,

etc.

This system automatically controls the brakes and

engine to help prevent the vehicle from skidding when

cornering on slippery roads or during sharp steering

maneuvers.

The system is activated when the vehicle speed exceeds a

value of approximately 15 km/h.

Within a few seconds after starting the engine or just after

starting the vehicle, you may hear a sound coming from the

engine compartment. This means that the system is in self-

diagnostic mode, but it does not signal a fault.

If the vehicle skids while driving, the slip warning light flashes

and the alarm sounds intermittently. Special attention should

be paid to the steering.

When you turn the ignition key to the "ON" position, the slip

warning light will come on for a few seconds. If the warning

WARNING

light does not come on when the ignition is turned on, contact

any authorized Toyota dealer or service center, or another

properly qualified and equipped professional.

• Do not over-rely on the vehicle's stability control

system. Even when the vehicle's stability

control system is active, you must always drive

carefully and carefully to avoid serious injury.

Reckless driving can result in an unexpected

accident.

If the slip warning light is flashing, you should pay

special attention to driving.

• Use only tires of the specified

dimensions. The tire size, manufacturer,

brand and tread pattern should be the

same for all 4 tires. If you use tires

other than those specified or tires of

a different type or size, the vehicle's

stability control system may not

function properly. When changing

tires or wheels, contact any authorized

Toyota dealer or service center, or

another properly qualified and

equipped professional. (See

"Inspecting and changing tires" on

page 378 in Chapter 7ÿ2.)

Cruise control

The cruise control is designed to maintain the set

cruising speed without the need for the driver to

operate the gas pedal. Cruise speed can be set to

any speed higher than 40 km/h.

Your cruise speed can be maintained on uphill or

downhill inclines within the limits of the engine's

performance. However, on steeper slopes, speed

changes may occur.

WARNING

• To maintain maximum control over the vehicle,

do not use the cruise control when driving in

heavy or variable traffic, on slippery (wet, icy

or snowy) roads or on roads with many turns.

TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF

To turn on the cruise control, press the "CRUISE

ONÿOFF" button. The "CRUISE" light on the instrument

panel will illuminate to indicate that the cruise control is

active. Press the "CRUISE ON–OFF" button again to

turn off the system.

• Avoid increasing vehicle speed when

driving downhill. If the driving speed

is too fast compared to the speed set

on the cruise control, turn off the

cruise control and then downshift to

use engine braking to slow down.

When the system is turned off, the cruising speed must

be reset when the cruise control is turned back on.

WARNING

When you are not using the cruise control, turn

the system off to prevent the cruise control from

being activated unintentionally. Make sure the

"CRUISE" indicator light is off.

Cruise control can be temporarily canceled by the driver

or the system itself under certain circumstances.

Temporarily canceling will allow the set cruising speed

to remain in memory.

Cruise control can be temporarily canceled by doing

the following:

• By pulling the lever in the "CANCEL" direction

and releasing it

• By depressing the brake pedal

• By depressing the clutch pedal

CRUISE SPEED SETTING

of the vehicle. If this speed is not satisfactory, move

the lever briefly up for a higher speed or down for a lower

speed. Each movement of the lever will change the

speed by 1.6 km/h.

When the vehicle speed drops by 16 km/h below the set

speed, the cruise control is canceled and the set speed

is deleted from the memory.

Now you can take your foot off the gas pedal.

The "CRUISE" light remains on to indicate that the

system is still in operation.

If you need to accelerate, for example when overtaking,

depress the gas pedal until the vehicle exceeds the set

speed. When you release the pedal, the vehicle will

return to the speed set before the acceleration.

To turn off the cruise control, press the "

CRUISE ON–OFF". Make sure the "CRUISE" light goes

out.

When the cruise control is canceled automatically under

circumstances other than those mentioned above, have

the vehicle checked at the earliest opportunity by any

authorized Toyota dealer or workshop, or another

properly qualified and equipped professional.

WARNING

For manual transmission: When

driving with the cruise control on, do not shift into

neutral without depressing the clutch pedal, as

this could result in a significant increase in revs

or engine over-revving.

CRUISE CONTROL RECOVERY

If the cruise control is temporarily cancelled, pulling the

lever up in the "RES/ACC" direction will restore cruising

speed.

The vehicle speed must be higher than 40 km/h.
