When driving
AVENSIS_OM_OM20B88E_(EE)
Starting on a steep uphill
Multidrive or automatic transmission
Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to “D” or
“M”.
Gently depress the accelerator pedal.
Release the parking brake.
Manual transmission
With the parking brake set and the clutch pedal fully
depressed, shift the shift lever to “1”.
Lightly depress the accelerator pedal at the same time as
gradually releasing the clutch pedal.
The parking brake will automatically release. (P. 227)
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.
Engine speed while driving (vehicles with Multidrive or automatic
transmission)
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting control or down-shifting implementation
to meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.
The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
When the accelerator pedal is released
When the brake pedal is depressed while sport mode is selected.

NOTICE
Camera precautions
As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble
or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
Do not subject the camera to a strong impact.
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. If water
droplets, snow, or mud adhere to the lens, rinse with water and wipe with a
soft cloth. If the lens is extremely dirty, wash it with a mild cleanser and
rinse. Do not rub hard.
Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to
adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
Do not strongly rub the camera lens. If the camera lens is scratched, it
cannot transmit a clear image.
When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the
camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunction.
When replacing tires, please consult any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional. If you
replace the tires, the area displayed on the screen may change.

ment.
When driving with non-standard parts or aftermarket equipment installed.

interpreted as lane markers (such as guardrails, curb, reflector posts, etc.).
When there are wheel ruts, icy trademarks, etc. or if snow remains on the
road surface.
When there are shadows on the road running parallel with lane markers,
or if a shadow covers the lane markers.
When there are visible lines on the pavement from road repairs, or if the
remains of old lane markers are still visible on the road.
When driving on slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or
snow.
When driving in a lane other than the driving or passing lanes on a freeway
or highway.
When driving on a road with lane closures due to maintenance, or when
driving in a temporary lane.

CAUTION
When the TRC and VSC are off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi-
tions. As these are systems to ensure vehicle stability and driving force, do
not turn off TRC and VSC unless necessary.
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 ABS, TRC and VSC systems 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.

Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropri-
ate to the prevailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician inspect the level and specific grav-
ity of battery electrolyte.
Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set
of tire chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains
match the size of the tires.
