—Starting a flooded engine

If the engine will not start, your engine
may be flooded because of repeated
cranking.
With standard-type ignition switch—If this
happens, turn the key to START with the ac-
celerator pedal fully depressed. Keep the key
and accelerator pedal in these positions for
15 seconds and release them. Then try start-
ing the engine with your foot off the accelera-
tor pedal.
With smart entry and start system—If this
happens, press the ENGINE START STOP
button (engine switch) with the brake pedal
and the accelerator pedal fully depressed,
and hold the ENGINE START STOP button
for about 30 seconds. Then the cranking hold
function stops cranking automatically, and
you can try starting the engine with your foot
off the accelerator pedal.
If the engine does not start, wait a few min-
utes and try again.
NOTICE
If the engine still will not start after
D
taking the above steps, contact your
Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop.
