Hood

●

If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start sys-
tem, the engine may not be restarted by the Stop & Start system or by the
automatic engine start function. In this case, shift the shift lever to P (vehi-
cles with automatic transmission) or N (vehicles with manual transmission)
and restart the engine with the engine switch operation. (

→P. 236, 239)

●

Even if the hood is closed after the engine is started with the hood open, the
Stop & Start system does not operate. Close the hood, turn the engine
switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system)
or off (vehicles with smart entry & start system), wait 30 seconds or more,
and then start the engine.

■

Steering wheel operation
When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel
may become heavier than when driving.

■

When to use the Stop & Start system

●

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, turn off the engine completely.

●

When the system cannot operate, is canceled, or is malfunctioning, warning
messages and the warning buzzer are used to inform the driver. (

→P. 349)

●

Even if an attempt is made to start the engine during an engine stop, the
engine does not automatically restart. Start the engine by shifting the shift
lever to P (vehicles with automatic transmission) or N (vehicles with manual
transmission) and performing a normal engine start operation.

●

When the engine restarts after having been stopped by the Stop & Start sys-
tem, the power outlet may be temporarily unusable, but this is not a mal-
function.

●

Installation and removal of electrical components and wireless devices may
affect the Stop & Start system, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

to prioritize charging of the battery, but
if the engine is operated for a short
while, engine stop is allowed.

• A refresh charge may be occurring (Exam-

ples: A short time after replacing the bat-
tery, removing battery terminals, etc.)
