When driving
AVENSIS_EE (OM20B44E)
NOTICE
When driving the vehicle
Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving. If the brake pedal is depressed while driving with the accelerator
pedal depressed, driving torque may be restrained.
Vehicles with a Multidrive or automatic transmission:
Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress accelerator and brake pedals
together to hold the vehicle on a hill.
Vehicles with a manual transmission:
Observe the following precautions to prevent damage to the clutch, trans-
mission and gears.
• Do not shift gears unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed. After shift-
ing, do not release the clutch abruptly.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving.
• Do not use any gears other than the first gear when starting off and
moving forward.
• Do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopping on an uphill
grade.
• Do not shift into “R” when the vehicle is still moving.
When parking the vehicle (vehicles with a Multidrive or automatic
transmission)
Always put the shift lever in “P”. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is acci-
dentally depressed.

2-4. Using other driving systems
AVENSIS_EE (OM20B44E)
LKA (Lane-Keeping Assist)
: If equipped
While driving on a freeway or motor highway that has lane markers,
this system recognizes the lanes using a camera as a sensor to
assist the driver with staying in the lane. The LKA system has two
functions.
Lane departure warning function
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it
alerts the driver using rapid beeping, indications on the multi-
information display, and a sensory warning
* given via the steer-
ing wheel.
*: A slight steering torque is applied for a short period of time in
the direction of the center of the lane.
Lane keeping assist function
This function will be active when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode of the cruise control (P. 281) is set with vehicle
speed above approx. 72 km/h (approx. 45 mph) and while the
lane departure warning function is active. When the lane keep-
ing assist function is active, a slight steering torque will be
applied, to help the driver maintain the vehicle in a central posi-
tion within the lane.
While the lane keeping assist function is active, sensory warnings
will not occur.

When trouble arises
AVENSIS_EE (OM20B44E)Replacing an aluminum wheel with an aluminum wheel
Turn the nut washers until they
come into contact with the disc
wheel.
Lower the vehicle.
Firmly tighten each nut two or
three times in the order shown in
the illustration.

CAUTION
Replacing a flat tire
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury:
• Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in
handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.
• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen
and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 103 N•m (10.5
kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the nuts to loosen and
the wheel may fall off, which could lead to an accident causing death or
serious injury.
• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install the wheel nuts with
the tapered ends facing inward. (P. 559)
When using the standard spare tire (vehicles with a spare tire of differ-
ent wheel type from the installed tires)
Replace the standard spare tire with a standard tire as soon as possible.
Avoid sudden acceleration, deceleration and braking, as well as sharp cor-
nering.
When using the compact spare tire
Remember that your compact spare tire is specifically designed for use
with your vehicle. Do not use your compact spare tire on another vehicle.
Do not use two compact spare tires simultaneously.
Replace the compact spare tire with a standard tire as soon as possible.
Avoid sudden acceleration, deceleration and braking, as well as sharp cor-
nering.
