08 02.19 Clutch start cancel switch Never use the switch for normal engine starting. Be sure to follow the starting procedure instructed in "How to start the engine" on page 304 in Section 3. LS17022 To crank the engine without depressing the clutch pedal, push the switch with the engine switch on. The switch stays on as long as the engine switch is on. And it will automatically turn off when the engine switch is off. An indicator light will illuminate to indicate the system is operating. This switch cancels the clutch start system, which is designed to keep the starter motor from operating if the clutch pedal is not depressed all the way down. The switch allows the vehicle to be driven out of difficult situations by cranking the engine with the clutch engaged. 204 2008 TACOMA from Apr. '08 Prod. (OM35898U)
