■ Automatic engine shut off fea-
ture
● The vehicle is equipped with a

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.112) from the inside or
the mechanical key (P.653) 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.
WARNING

Always start the engine while sit-
ting in the driver’s seat. Do not
depress the 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
vehicle 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.

● If the engine becomes difficult to
start or stalls frequently, have
your vehicle checked by your
Toyota dealer immediately.

function with the engine

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.
