Driving
● In the following situations, the engine may restart automatically if the engine
is stopped by the Stop & Start system. (To enable stopping of the engine by
the Stop & Start system, drive the vehicle.)
• The brake pedal is pumped or strongly depressed.
• The air conditioning system is being used.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged.
■ Hood
● If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start sys-
tem, the engine will stall and will not be able to be restarted by the automatic
engine start function. In this case, restart the engine using the normal
engine starting procedure. (→P. 196, 199)
● Even if the hood is closed after the engine is started with the hood open, the
Stop & Start system will not operate. Close the hood, turn the engine switch
off, wait 30 seconds or more, and then start the engine.
■ When to use the Stop & Start system
● If the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system and the shift lever is
shifted into a position other than N with the clutch pedal released, a buzzer
will sound and Stop & Start indicator will flash. This indicates that the engine
is only stopped by the Stop & Start system, not that the engine has been
turned off completely.
● Use the Stop & Start system when stopping the vehicle temporarily at red
lights, intersections, etc. When stopping the vehicle for a longer period of
time, stop the engine completely.
● When the system does not operate, is canceled, or is malfunctioning, warn-
ing messages (vehicles with a multi-information display only) and a warning
buzzer are used to inform the driver. (→P. 281)
● Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: If the engine switch is pressed
when the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the engine will stall
and will not be able to be restarted by the automatic engine start function. In
this case, restart the engine using the normal engine starting procedure.
(→P. 196, 199)
● When the engine is restarted by the Stop & Start system, the power outlet
may be temporarily unusable, but this is not a malfunction.
● Installation and removal of electrical components and wireless devices may
affect the Stop & Start system. Contact any authorized Toyota retailers or
Toyota authorized repairers, or any reliable repairers for details.
