2-1. Driving procedures
2
When driving
L/C200_U
CAUTION
■
When the vehicle is parked
● Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in
the vehicle when it is in the sun.
Failure to do so may result in the following:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a
fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and plastic material of eye glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehi-
cle’s electrical components.
● Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to “P”, stop the engine
and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
● If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator
turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer
mode disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain
and allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At this
time, the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in
“P”. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete
the shifting of the transfer mode. ( P. 197)
● Do not touch the exhaust pipe while the engine is running or immediately
after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
● Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it
is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is
running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead
to death or a serious health hazard.

L/C200_U
Automatic transmission
Select a shift position appropriate for the driving conditions.
■Shifting the shift lever
While the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION
ON mode, depress the brake pedal and move the shift
lever.
■ Shift position uses
*1: To improve fuel consumption and reduce noises, set the shift lever in
the “D” position for normal driving.
*2: By selecting shift ranges using “S” mode, you can control engine brak-ing forces.

L/C200_U
■“S” mode
When the shift range is “5” or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets
the shift range to “6”.
■ Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer (in the “S” mode)
To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (The warning buzzer will
sound twice.)
■ When driving with the cruise control system
The engine brake will not operate in t he “S” mode, even when downshifting
to “5” or “4”. ( P. 184)
■ Second start mode au tomatic deactivation
Second start mode is automatically deactivated if the engine is turned off
after driving in second start mode.
■ If the shift lever cannot be shifted from “P”
P. 5 2 8
■If the “S” indicator does not come on even after shifting the shift lever
to “S”
This may indicate a malfunction in the automatic transmission system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
(In this situation, the vehicle will operate as if the shift lever is in “D”.)
■ AI-SHIFT
The AI-SHIFT automatically shifts the gear to the optimal position according
to the driver performance and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the “D” posi-
tion. (Shifting the shift lever to the “S” position cancels the function.)

When driving
L/C200_U
CAUTION
■While driving
Never move the four-wheel drive control switch if the wheels have lost trac-
tion. Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■ If the low speed four-wheel drive in dicator light or the center differen-
tial lock indicator light blinks
If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator
turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer
mode disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain
and allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At this time,
the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in
“P”. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the
shifting of the transfer mode. ( P. 197)
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the center differential
● For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, unlock the center differ-
ential.
● Unlock the center differential after the wheels are out of the ditch or off the
slippery or bumpy surface.
● Do not push the center differential lock/unlock button when the vehicle is
turning or when its wheels are spinning freely off the ground.

L/C200_U
■Function limitations
● In the following situations, brake control can be used to drive downhill at
a constant speed. However, engine control is not available when driving
uphill at a constant speed.
• When switched to second start mode
• When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
● In the following situation, engine control and brake control will be tempo-
rarily canceled.
• When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 15 mph (25 km/h).
■ If the brake system overheats
The system will cease operation and a buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place. (There is no problem with continuing normal
driving.)
■ If the automatic transmission system overheats
The system will cease operation, a buzzer will sound and a warning mes-
sage will be displayed to alert the driver. Stop the vehicle in a safe place until
the warning message turns off.
■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the Crawl Control system
● A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indi-
cate that a malfunction has occurred in Crawl Control system.
● Either of the following conditions may occur when the Crawl Control sys-
tem is operating. None of these are indicators that a malfunction has
occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
