'06 AVALON_U (L/O 0508) If the brake pedal is depressed, the indicator light will turn green, regardless of which mode is selected. When the indicator light is green, pressing the "ENGINE START STOP" switch once starts the engine. (For starting tips, see "How to start the engine" on page 290 in Section 3.) If the amber indicator light on the "ENGINE START STOP" switch blinks, this indicates a malfunction of the push start system. Turn off the engine immediately and contact your Toyota dealer. Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound coming from underneath the luggage compartment for several minutes. This is normal operation and does not indicate a malfunction. (See "Leak detection pump" on page viii.) It is not a malfunction if the needle on all meters and gauges move slightly when the ignition switch is set at ACC, ON or when the engine starts. When the battery is disconnected or run down, the push button start function memorizes the current mode. After you reconnect, replace, or recharge the battery, the memorized mode is selected automatically. In any of these cases, turn off the engine if the engine comes on. NOTICE Do not leave the ignition switch at ON if the engine is not running. The battery will discharge and the ignition could be damaged. 160
