'Has to be' or 'should be' slowed?

It's still unclear whether the car can be placed in neutral at speed. Although Toyota advises that the car be slowed, it does not state that it _has_ to be slowed for neutral to be engaged. It would be interesting to see if there is some sort of cut-out speed where neutral can no longer be activated. Because of these very situations, I just can't imagine a manufacturer limiting that sort of activity. Next time I rent a Toyota I may have to do a little experiment and see if neutral can be engaged at speed.
I do agree that three seconds is far too long to hold down the start/stop button before the car turns off.
