Automatic enabling of the Stop
& Start system
If the Stop & Start system is dis-
abled using the Stop & Start cancel
switch, it will be automatically re-
enabled once the engine switch is
turned off and then the engine is
started.
When the engine is stopped by
the Stop & Start system when
the vehicle is on an incline,
when the brake pedal is
released, brake force is tempo-
rarily maintained to prevent the
vehicle from rolling backwards
before the engine is restarted
and drive force is generated.
When drive force is generated,
the maintained brake force is
automatically canceled.
This function operates on flat
surfaces as well as steep
inclines.
Sound may be generated
from the brake system, but
this does not indicate a mal-
function.
Brake pedal response may
change and vibration may
occur, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
Points for use
If the engine switch is pressed
when the engine is stopped by the
Stop & Start system, the engine
will not be able to be restarted by
the automatic engine start func-
tion. In this case, restart the
engine using the normal engine
starting procedure. (P.193, 194)
When the engine is being
restarted by the Stop & Start sys-
tem, the power outlets may be
temporarily unusable, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
Installation and removal of electri-
cal components and wireless
devices may affect the Stop &
Start system. Contact your Toyota
dealer for details.
When stopping the vehicle for a
longer period of time, turn the
engine switch off to stop the
engine completely.
When the engine is restarted by
the Stop & Start system, the steer-
ing wheel may temporarily feel
heavy.

tional when all of the following
