To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the engine switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode
●
for long periods of time without the engine running.
If "ACCESSORY" or "IGNITION ON" is displayed on the multi-information
●
display while the engine is not running, the engine switch is not off. Exit the
vehicle after turning the engine switch off.
Do not stop the engine when the shift lever is in a position other than P. If
●
the engine is stopped in another shift lever position, the engine switch will
not be turned off but instead be turned to ACCESSORY mode. If the vehi-
cle is left in ACCESSORY mode, battery discharge may occur.
■
When starting the engine
Do not race a cold engine.
●
If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehi-
●
cle checked by your Toyota dealer immediately.
