(i) “TOW/HAUL” switch (on some models)
Use “TOW/HAUL” mode when pulling a
trailer or hauling a heavy load. In this
mode, the driving and engine braking per-
formance is improved in accordance with
towing conditions or increased load.
To turn on: Push “TOW/HAUL” switch
“TOW/HAUL” mode is activated and
“TOW/HAUL” mode indicator light comes
on by pressing “TOW/HAUL” switch. To turn off: Push “TOW/HAUL” switch
once again and the “TOW/HAUL” mode
indicator light goes off.
“TOW/HAUL” mode is canceled by press-
ing “TOW/HAUL” switch again or by turn-
ing the ignition switch to “OFF”.
Even when “TOW/HAUL” mode is used
during normal driving, no damage is
caused to the engine or the transmission.
However, fuel economy is reduced and the
transmission and/or engine driving charac-
teristics may feel unusual.
Toyota recommends using “TOW/HAUL”
mode only when a heavy trailer or a large
heavy load is towed.

(b) Normal driving1. Start the engine as instructed in “How to start the engine” on page 468 in
Section 3. The transmission must be in
“P” or “N”.
When the front drive control switch knob
is in “4L” (low −speed position, four −wheel
drive), the driving pattern selector setting
has no effect on gear shift timing. (See
“Four −wheel drive system” on page 239 in
this Section for information of the front
drive control lever.)
2. With your foot holding down the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to “D”.
When the lever is in the “D” position, the
automatic transmission system will select
the most suitable gear for running condi-
tions such as normal cruising, hill climb-
ing, hard towing, etc.
Always use the “D” position for better fuel
economy and quieter driving. If the engine
coolant temperature is low or when the
front drive control switch knob is in “4L”
(low −speed position, four −wheel drive), the
transmission will not shift into the over-
drive gear even in the “D” position. (See
“Four −wheel drive system” on page 239 in
this Section for information of the front
drive control.)CAUTION
Never put your foot on the accelera-
tor pedal while shifting.
3. Release the parking brake and brake pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal
slowly for smooth starting.
AI (Artificial Intelligence) shifting con-
trol—
AI shifting control selects the most
suitable shift range automatically ac-
cording to the driver’s operation and
driving condition.
AI shifting control operates automatical-
ly with the selector lever in the “D”
position. When the lever is moved to
the “S” position, this function will be
cancelled.
Shifting control on the slope:
On inclines, you can drive smoothly
with reduced shifting quantity. On de-
clines, the vehicle will shift down auto-
matically to obtain optimum engine
braking and reduce the driver ’s foot
braking load.
Automatic shifting point change con-
trol:
The most suitable shift range is se-
lected depending on the driver ’s accel-
erator pedal operation and vehicle con-
dition.
(c) Driving in “S” mode
The shift range position can be
changed in “S” mode. When the selec-
tor lever is in the “S” position, the
shift range position can be switched
between “5” (fifth range) and “1” (first
range) by turning the “S” mode switch
of the selector lever to the “+” (up) or
“ ” (down) direction. By turning the
“S” mode switch to the “+” (up) direc-
tion and holding it for at least 1 sec-
ond, the highest shift range position
can be obtained. However, it cannot be
changed while cruise control is acti-
vated. When the selector lever is
shifted to the “S” position, shift range
position “4” (fourth range) is selected
automatically.
However, if the selector lever is shifted
to the “S” position when AI shifting
control is being performed, the initial
shift range position may be “3” (third
range). This is because the suitable
shift range is selected depending on
the driving condition.

CAUTION
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label (tire
and load information label). (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label
(tire and load information label), you
should determine the proper tire infla-
tion pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your ve-
hicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS
tire pressure warning system) that il-
luminates a low tire pressure telltale
(tire pressure warning light) when one
or more of your tires is significantly
under inflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-
sure warning light) illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-
nificantly under inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under inflation also re-
duces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and
it is the driver ’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light).Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) malfunction indicator to indi-
cate when the system is not operat-
ing properly. The TPMS (tire pressure
warning system) malfunction indicator
is combined with the low tire pres-
sure telltale (tire pressure warning
light). When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the mal-
function indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.

3. Instantaneous fuel consumption(“INST MPG” or “INST L/100 km”)
The instantaneous fuel consumption is
calculated and displayed based on dis-
tance and fuel consumption at 20 revo-
lutions of the engine.
The displayed value is updated for a short
time.
An accurate figure may not be shown if
the vehicle is driving down a long slope,
and engine brake is applied. (The display
will indicate the extremely low fuel con-
sumption.)
When the vehicle is stopped with the en-
gine running, “ −−, −MPG” will be shown
on the display.
The calculation is reset when the ignition
switch is turned off. 4. Driving range (“RANGE MI” or
“RANGE km”)
The distance the vehicle can travel with
the remaining fuel is calculated and
displayed based on the quantity of re-
maining fuel and past fuel consumption.
The driving range display indicates the
approximate distance that you can drive
until the fuel gauge reaches “E”. It is
different from the actual distance traveled.
The displayed value is updated every time
the fuel equivalent for 1 mile or 1 km is
consumed.
Every time you refuel the vehicle, the cal-
culation is reset.
The actual driving range varies with driv-
ing habits and road conditions. If fuel con-
sumption is good, the driving range will be
longer than indicated. If fuel consumption
is poor, the driving range will be shorter
than indicated.
If the low fuel level warning light comes
on, refuel the vehicle even if the display
indicates that the vehicle can be driven
further.
