Before driving
CAUTION
●
In the following situations, the power sliding door may detect an abnormal-
ity and automatic operation may be stopped. In this case, the sliding door
has to be operated manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the
stopped sliding door may suddenly close, causing an accident.
• When the sliding door contacts an obstacle
• When the battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the engine
switch is turned to the “ON” position or the engine is started during
automatic operation
● Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota parts to the
power sliding door. The power sliding door may not operate, causing itself
to malfunction, or the power sliding door may close again after it is
opened.
● In cases such as when replacing tires, make sure to turn off the power slid-
ing door main switch. Failure to do so may cause the sliding door to oper-
ate unintentionally if the power sliding door switch is accidentally touched,
resulting in hands and fingers being caught and injured.
● When the child-protector locks are set, make sure to turn off the power
sliding door system with the main switch in order to totally disable the sys-
tem.
■ Jam protection function (vehicles with power sliding doors)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
●Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection
function.
● The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just
before the power sliding door fully closes. Be careful not to catch fingers or
anything else.

54 1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
CAUTION
●In the following situations, the power back door may detect an abnormali\
ty
and automatic operation may be stopped. In this case, the back door has
to be operated manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the stopped
back door may suddenly fall, causing an accident.
• When the back door contacts an obstacle
• When the battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the engine
switch is turned to the “ON” position or the engine is started during
automatic operation
● Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota parts to the back
door. The power back door may not operate, causing itself to malfunction,
or the back door may fall closed again after it is opened.
● In cases such as when replacing tires, make sure to turn off the power
back door main switch. Failure to do so may cause the back door to oper-
ate unintentionally if the power back door switch is accidentally touched,
resulting in hands and fingers being caught and injured.
■ Jam protection function (vehicles with power back door)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
●Although the back door stops closing when the jam protection function
detects an object, take extra care as you may still be injured if part of your
body is already caught.
● Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection
function.
● The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just
before the back door fully closes. Be careful not to catch fingers or any-
thing else.
● Sensors installed on the right and left edges of the power back door detect
an object to prevent it from being caught. Depending on its shape, how-
ever, the sensors may not detect the object.
When opening or closing the back door, take extra care to prevent your fin-
gers etc. from being caught.

■Returning the third seats
Push and hold the returning
switch until the seat cushion is
locked.
A beep sounds twice to indicate
the start of the operation. The
beep sounds again twice when
operation is completed.
■When returning the tumbled second seat
Once the seat is moved from the tumbled position to the folded-down posi-
tion, it cannot be directly returned to the tumbled position again. Raise the
seatback once if it is folded.
■ Power third seat
●If the indicator light above the switches flashes three times when the fold-
ing/returning switch is pushed, the folding operation will not start. Make
sure the engine switch is in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position and/or the
automatic transmission shift lever is in P.
● If any of the following conditions occur while the seat is operating, the
seat operation will stop. The indicator light above the switches will flash
three times and a beep will sound for about 10 seconds:
• An object is caught between the seatback and seat cushion.
• The stowing switch is released.
• Other power third seat switch is pushed while operating the stowing
switch.
• The shift lever is moved from P when the engine switch is in the “ON” position.
• The engine switch is turned to the “ON” position when the shift lever is in N.
If the engine is started during operating, the seat operation may also be
stopped.
To continue the folding operation, the seatback must be returned to its
original position first.

When driving
Starting on a steep uphill
Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to D.
Gently depress the accelerator pedal.
Release the parking brake.
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the
windows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be
especially slippery.
● Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road
surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
■ Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, the following precautions are recommended
to observe:
●For the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
● For the first 500 miles (800 km):
Do not tow a trailer.
● For the first 1000 miles (1600 km):

160 2-1. Driving procedures
■Drum-in-disc type parking brake system
Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type parking brake system. This type of
brake system needs bedding-down of the brake shoes periodically or when-
ever the parking brake shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have your Toyota
dealer perform the bedding down.
■ Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P. 544)
CAUTION
■When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine run-
ning. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
■ When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel-
erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake
pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident
that could result in death or serious injury.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi- culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle only slightly, allowing you to depress the brake and accelerator
pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-
ing in an accident.
● Do not drive the vehicle over or st op the vehicle near flammable materials.
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. This may
cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
● Do not let the vehicle roll backwards while the shift lever is in a driving
position, or roll forward while the shift lever is in R. Doing so may cause
the engine to stall or lead to poor brake and steering performance, result-
ing in an accident or damage to the vehicle.

■Dynamic laser cruise control warnings
If a system malfunction is detected, dynamic laser cruise control master
warning light comes on, the “CRUISE” indicator light flashes, the buzzer
sounds, and a warning code appears on the display to alert you to the need
for caution while driving.
The warning codes indicate the following.
If the same code appears again after implementing the correction procedure,
or if the cruise control cannot be set, contact your Toyota dealer.

When driving
Driving assist systems
When VSC and TRAC are operating
If the vehicle is in danger of slip-
ping or the front wheels (2WD
models), or 4 wheels (AWD mod-
els) spin, the indicator flashes to
indicate that VSC/TRAC system
have been engaged.
A buzzer (intermittent) sounds to
indicate that VSC is operating.
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in res ponse to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavi ly when operating the vehicle.
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface.
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed, when the system detects a panic stop situation.
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces.
■TRAC (Traction Control)
Maintains drive power and prevents the front wheels (2WD models) or
4 wheels (AWD models) from spinning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads.
