Driving
When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under the wheels of both the vehicle
and trailer. Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P
(Multidrive), E, M or R (multi-mode manual transmission) and 1 or R
(manual transmission).
CAUTION
Follow all the instructions described in this section. Failure to do so could
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Trailer towing precautions
When towing, make sure that none of the weight limits are exceeded.
(P. 249)
Vehicle speed in towing
Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer towing.
Before descending hills or long declines
Reduce speed and downshift. However, never downshift suddenly while
descending steep or long downhill grades.
Operation of the brake pedal
Do not hold the brake pedal depressed often or for long periods of time.
Doing so may result in the brake overheating or reduce braking effects.
To avoid accident or injury
Vehicles with a cruise control: Do not use cruise control when you are tow-
ing.
Vehicles with a compact spare tire: Do not tow a trailer when the compact
spare tire is installed on your vehicle.
Vehicles with an emergency tire puncture repair kit: Do not tow the vehicle
when the tire installed is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair
kit.
NOTICE
Do not directly splice trailer lights
Directly splicing trailer lights may damage your vehicle's electrical system
and cause a malfunction.

Driving
Initializing Simple-IPA
Within 15 seconds of turning the Simple-IPA switch on, turn the steering
wheel all the way to the left or right and then to the opposite side.
When the parking space detection screen is displayed, the initialization is
complete.
If pressing the Simple-IPA switch again still shows “IPA NOT AVAILABLE,
STOP THE VEHICLE, TURN WHEEL FROM LEFT END TO RIGHT END” on
the multi-information display, the initialization has failed. Have the vehicle
inspected at any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional.
CAUTION
Cautions regarding the use of Simple-IPA
Never depend on the Simple-IPA entirely when parking. The driver is
responsible for safety. Use caution, just as you would when parking any
vehicle.
Back up slowly, using the brake pedal to control the vehicle's speed.
If it seems likely to hit nearby vehicles, obstacles, or people, depress the
brake pedal to stop the vehicle, and the disable the system.
Conditions in which the use of Simple-IPA is prohibited
Do not use Simple-IPA under the following conditions.
Doing so may cause improper operation and lead to an unexpected acci-
dent.
On sharp bends or slopes.
On slippery or icy roads, or in snow.
On uneven road surfaces such as gravel.
During bad weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow, or a sandstorm.
When the tires are extremely worn or tire pressure is low.
When the vehicle has improper wheel alignment due to tires having
received a strong impact such as bumping against a curb.
When the compact spare tire (if equipped) or snow chains are installed.
When the tires slid while attempting to park.
When fallen leaves or snow is in a parking space.
Models that can tow a trailer: When items such as a towing bracket, trailer,
bicycle carrier, etc. are installed on the rear of the vehicle.

5506-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12G88E)
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are
equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width and
inset
*.
Replacement wheels are available at any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
*: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Toyota does not recommend using the following:
Wheels of different sizes or types
Used wheels
Bent wheels that have been straightened
Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with
your aluminum wheels.
When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1600 km (1000 miles).
Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire
chains.
Use only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and a plas-
tic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
When replacing wheels (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
The wheels of your vehicle (except spare tire) are equipped with tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system
to provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.
Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
must be installed. (P. 537)
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or
cause a loss of handling control.

When trouble arises
CAUTION
If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the
ABS system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
The steering wheel may become extremely heavy.
If the steering wheel becomes heavier than usual when operating, hold
firmly and operate using more force than usual.
When driving to clean the DPF catalytic converter (diesel engine)
When driving, pay sufficient attention to weather, road conditions, terrain
and traffic conditions, and be sure to observe traffic laws and/or regulations.
Failure to do so may cause an unexpected accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
If the tire pressure warning light comes on (vehicles with a tire pres-
sure warning system)
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a
loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire infla-
tion pressure immediately.
Vehicles with a spare tire: If the tire pressure warning light comes on even
after tire inflation pressure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat
tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, change it with the spare tire and have
the flat tire repaired by the nearest authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Vehicles with an emergency tire puncture repair kit: If the tire pressure
warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure adjustment, it is
probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, repair the
flat tire by using emergency tire puncture repair kit.
Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you
could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur (vehicles with a tire
pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.

When trouble arises
Stop the vehicle on a hard, flat surface.
Set the parking brake.
Shift the shift lever to P (Multidrive) or R (manual transmission).
Stop the engine.
Turn on the emergency flashers. (P. 600)
If you have a flat tire (vehicles with a spare
tire)
Your vehicle is equipped with a spare tire. The flat tire can be
replaced with the spare tire.
For details about tires: P. 535
CAUTION
If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair, which could result in an accident.
