Manual transmission* *If equipped Operating instructions Shifting the shift lever Depress the clutch pedal firmly. Shift the shift lever to the desired gear. Make sure to only shift gears sequentially. Gradually release the clutch pedal. If it is difficult to shift in R, shift the lever to N, release the clutch pedal momentarily, and then try again. Note: Maximum allowable speeds Observe the following maximum allowable speeds in each gear when maximum acceleration is necessary.

Reverse warning buzzer A buzzer will sound to inform the driver if the shift lever is shifted to the R position.
Notice: To prevent damage to the vehicle When shifting gears, observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause damage to the engine, manual transmission, and/or clutch. Do not shift the shift lever to the desired gear without depressing the clutch pedal. Shift the shift lever to R only when the vehicle is stationary. Do not rest your hand on or hold the shift lever any time other than when shifting. In order not to cause the engine to overrev, make sure to only shift gears sequentially. Do not release the clutch pedal suddenly.
Manual transmission iMT (Intelligent Manual Transmission) Transmission iMT (Intelligent Manual Transmission) iMT (Intelligent Manual Transmission)iMT (Intelligent Manual Transmission) The iMT optimally controls the engine speed to suit the driver’s operation of the clutch pedal and shift lever, helping the driver to shift gears more smoothly. Additionally, when the clutch pedal is operated, the iMT helps reduce shift shock, allowing for lighter shift operations when driving on a winding road or incline. Press the “ iMT” switch. The iMT indicator will illuminate in green. Press the switch again to cancel iMT. Note: The iMT may not operate when In the following situations, iMT may not operate. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. The clutch pedal is not fully depressed The clutch pedal is not fully released, such as if a foot is resting on the clutch pedal* Shift operation is performed after the vehicle has been coasting with the shift lever in N The shift lever is not operated for a long time after the clutch pedal is depressed *After the shift lever is moved, unless your foot is completely removed from the clutch pedal, the iMT may not operate and the engine speed may not be controlled optimally for the next gear change. To enable the iMT, release the clutch pedal completely and then depress it again before operating the shift lever. If the warning message for iMT is shown on the multi-information display The iMT may be temporarily unavailable or malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer. Warning: Limitations of the iMT iMT is not a system that prevents shift lever operation error or engine overrevving. Depending on the situation, iMT may not operate normally and the shift position may not be changed smoothly. Overly relying on iMT may cause an unexpected accident.
