The situations in which the slid ing door does not open completely
■ Jam protection function (vehicles with power sliding doors)
● If anything obstructs the power sliding door while it is closing or opening,
the power sliding door will automatically operate in the opposite direction.
● If the jam protection function operates during two consecutive opening
and closing operations, the power sliding door will be stopped at that
position and the power sliding door system will be canceled.
■ Power sliding door brake function (v ehicles with power sliding doors)
When the power sliding door detects an abnormality and stops operating,
power sliding door brake function may be activated. When brake function is
activated, door movement is restricted by the brake and motion may appear
to be not smooth. This is not malfunction. Move the door to fully closed posi-
tion to reset the system and normal power sliding door function will resume.
■ Sliding door closer (vehicl es with power sliding doors)
In the event that the sliding door is left slightly open, the sliding door closer
will automatically close it to the fully closed position.
The left side sliding door does not open
completely when the fuel filler door is
opened.

Sliding door
■ To prevent damage to your vehicle
● Vehicles with the power sliding door:
• Do not apply excessive force when the sliding door is operating.
• Do not place your hand or foot near door hinges or rollers when the
sliding door is operating.
• Avoid forcibly opening the left side sliding door fully when the fuel filler door is opened. Otherwise, the fuel filler door may be damaged.
• Take care not to damage the sensors (installed on the front edge of the power sliding door) with a knife or other sharp object.
● Make sure there is nothing in the doorway before closing.
● Do not close the sliding door by applying the brakes. Doing so could cause
the sliding door to be damaged.
Make sure magazines are not bent or
protruding from the sliding door pockets.
Do not insert anything too big so that the
shape of the sliding door pockets is dis-
torted. Such objects may obstruct the
opening/closing of the sliding doors, dam-
age the sliding door pockets or the vehi-
cle body, and may result in a malfunction.

CAUTION
■
When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to discharge any st atic electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.
● Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap.
In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out of the filler neck and cause
injury.
● Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their
body to come close to an open fuel tank.
● Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
● Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
● Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically
charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard.

CAUTION
■When refueling
Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck. If fuel is added with
the nozzle slightly lifted away from the fuel filler neck, the automatic shut off
function may not operate, resulting in fuel overflowing from the tank.
■ When replacing the fuel cap
Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your
vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Refueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control
systems to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the
vehicle’s painted surface.

214 2-1. Driving procedures
SIENNA_U (OM45477U)
■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, observing the following precautions is rec-
ommended:
● 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):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
■ 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 operation.
■ Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P. 787)
