coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel
evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.

Before driving
■
The power back window can be operated when
● The engine switch is in the ON position.
● The power back window can be opened when the rear window wiper is
working. At that time, the wiper stops working until the window is closed
again.
If the rear window is not fully closed, the rear window wiper, washer, and
defogger will not work.
■ Operating the power back window after turning the engine switch off
The power back window can be operated for approximately 43 seconds
even after the engine switch is turned to the ACC position or turned off. It
cannot, however, be operated once either front door is opened.
■ Jam protection function
If an object becomes caught between the window and the window frame,
window travel is stopped and the window is opened slightly.
■ Customization that can be co nfigured at Toyota dealer
Settings (e.g. rear window) can be changed.
(Customizable features P. 650)
CAUTION
■Closing the power back window
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Check to make sure that all passengers do not have any part of their body
in a position where it could be caught when a window is being operated.
● Do not allow children to operate the power back window.
Closing a power back window on someone can cause serious injury, and
in some instances, even death.
■ Jam protection function
●Never try jamming any part of your body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally.
● The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just
before the window fully closes.

152 2-1. Driving procedures
CAUTION
■When driving on slippery road surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and
reduce your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident.
● Sudden changes in engine speed, such as engine braking caused by up-
shifting or down-shifting, may cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an
accident.
● After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make
sure that the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent
the brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet
and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected, resulting in
an accident.
■ When shifting the shift lever
●Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.
■ When the vehicle is stopped
●Do not race the engine.
If the vehicle is in any gear other than P or N, the vehicle may accelerate
suddenly and unexpectedly, and may cause an accident.
● Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space
and check that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
● In order to prevent accidents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep
depressing the brake pedal while the engine is running, and apply the
parking brake as necessary.
● If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused
by the vehicle rolling forward or backward, always depress the brake pedal
and securely apply the parking brake as needed.
● Avoid revving or racing the engine.
Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause
the exhaust system to overheat, which could result in a fire if combustible
material is nearby.

212 2-4. Using other driving systems
■When two or more obstacles are detected simultaneously
The buzzer system responds to the nearest zone.
■ When multiple obstacles are detected in front and behind the
vehicle at the same time
The buzzer will change in the following manner.
● If an obstacle has been detected within 15.7 in. (400 mm) of the
front or 33.5 (850 mm) in rear of the vehicle (a continuous
buzzer is sounding), and a new obstacle is detected at the other
end of the vehicle, the buzzer will sound 7 times then one contin-
uous buzzer.
● If an obstacle has been detected within 15.7 in. (400 mm) of the
front or 33.5 in. (850 mm) in rear of the vehicle (a continuous
buzzer is sounding), and a new ob stacle is detected at the same
way at the other end of the vehicle, the buzzer will sound 3 times
then one continuous buzzer.
