Before driving
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
Intrusion sensor and tilt sensor (if equipped)
The intrusion sensor detects an intruder or movement in the vehi-
cle.
The tilt sensor detects changes in vehicle inclination, such as when
the vehicle is towed away.
This system is designed to deter and prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security against all intrusions.
The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor can be canceled using the cancel
switch.
Canceling the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
Turn the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch off and press the
intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
cancel switch.
A message will be shown on the
multi-information display in the
instrument cluster.
The intrusion sensor and tilt sen-
sor will revert to on each time the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch is
turned to ON mode.
System maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type alarm system.

CAUTION
If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as Multi Terrain ABS and the SRS airbag
warning light not come on when you start the engine, this could mean that
these systems are not available to help protect you in an accident, which
could result in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional, immediately if this occurs.

The shape of the obstacle may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay
particular attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction
of your vehicle
The following situations may occur during use.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detec-
tion distance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor
• There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display.
Even at slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will come
within the sensor’s detection areas before the display is shown and the
warning beep sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected for
collision when approached, even if they have been detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or
air flow noise of air conditioning system.

Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in response to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.
Multi Terrain 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, or in off-
road conditions (such as rough roads, sand and mud).
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.
Active TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the 4 wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
Hill-start assist control
Helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when starting on an
incline or slippery slope.
KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System) (if equipped)
KDSS helps to ensure ride comfort and handling response by using a
hydraulic control system to control the suspension stabilizer bars in
response to road surface and driving conditions during cornering or off-
road driving.
VGRS (Variable Gear Ratio Steering) (if equipped)
Helps to adjust the wheel turning angle in accordance with the vehicle
speed and steering wheel movement.
Pre-Crash Safety (if equipped)

Automatic reactivation of Active TRC and VSC
Turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off after turning off the Active
TRC and VSC systems will automatically re-enable them.
Automatic Active TRC reactivation
If only the Active TRC system is turned off, the Active TRC system will turn
on when vehicle speed increases.
Automatic Active TRC and VSC reactivation
If the Active TRC and VSC systems are turned off, the systems will not turn
on even when vehicle speed increases.
If the brake system overheats
The brake system may overheat. In this case, a buzzer will sound, and the
“TRC OFF” will be displayed on the multi-information display, and Active
TRC and hill-start assist control will be temporarily inoperable. In this event,
stop the vehicle immediately in a safe place, and allow the brake system to
cool down sufficiently until the “TRC OFF” on the multi-information display
go off. (There is no problem with continuing normal driving.)
Sounds and vibrations caused by the Multi Terrain ABS, brake assist,
Active TRC, VSC, hill-start assist control and VGRS
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 any of these systems.
Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates 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.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the Multi Terrain ABS is acti-
vated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the Multi Terrain ABS is
activated.

Hill-start assist control is operational when
The shift lever is in “D” or “S”.
The brake pedal is not depressed.
VGRS is disabled in the following situations
During stopping or the steering wheel has been moved for a long time
while driving at lower speeds.
After the engine is restarted at less than -30°C (-22°F).
If you disconnect the battery with the steering wheel turned, the center
position of the steering wheel could be slightly and temporary changed.
To initialize the VGRS, drive for a short while.
CAUTION
Any of the following conditions may result in an accident which could cause
death or serious injury:
The Multi Terrain ABS does not operate effectively when
The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded.
The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on the wet or slick
road.
Stopping distance when the Multi Terrain ABS is operating may exceed
that of normal conditions
The Multi Terrain ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping dis-
tance. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you in the
following situations.
When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
When driving with tire chains
When driving over bumps in the road
When driving over roads with potholes or uneven roads

When driving
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
CAUTION
Active TRC may not operate effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the Active TRC is operating.
Do not drive the vehicle in conditions where stability and power may be lost.
If the hill-start assist control does not operate effectively
Do not overly rely on the hill-start assist control. The hill-start assist control
may not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered in ice.
When Active TRC and VSC are off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi-
tions. As there are systems to help to ensure vehicle stability and driving
force, do not turn off Active TRC and VSC unless necessary.
When the VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully.
Reckless driving may cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the
indicator light flashes.
Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the same size, brand, tread pattern and total
load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the speci-
fied tire pressure level.
The Multi Terrain ABS and VSC will not function correctly if different tires are
fitted on the vehicle.
Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional for further information when replacing tires or
wheels.
Handling of tires and suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect
the driving assist systems, and may cause the system to malfunction.
