■When the mirrors are fogged up (veh icles with outside rear view mirror
defoggers)
Turn on the mirror defoggers to defog the mirrors. ( P. 307)
■ Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle (vehicles with driving posi-
tion memory)
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automat-
ically by the driving position memory. ( P. 6 2 )
■ Auto anti-glare function (if equipped)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the out-
side rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare inside
rear view mirror to reduce reflected light. ( P. 81)
CAUTION
■When driving the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while driving.
Failing to do so may result in loss of control of the vehicle and cause an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
● Do not drive with the mirrors folded back.
● Both the driver and passenger side mirrors must be extended and properly
adjusted before driving.
■ When a mirror is moving
To avoid personal injury and mirror malfunction, be careful not to get your
hand caught by the moving mirror.
■ When the mirror defoggers are operating (vehicles with outside rear
view mirror defoggers)
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot and
burn you.

CAUTION
■Cross rail adjustment
Make sure the cross rails are locked securely by applying pressure forward
and rearward.
Failure to do so may cause an accident, death or serious injury in the event
of emergency braking or a collision.
■ When loading cargo
Observe the following precautions:
●Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front
and rear axles.
● If loading long or wide cargo, never exceed the vehicle overall length or
width. ( P. 512)
● Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened to the roof lug-
gage carrier.
● Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will raise the vehicle’s center of
gravity. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or
abrupt maneuvers, otherwise unexpected loss of control or vehicle rollover
may occur.
● If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop the
vehicle occasionally during the trip to make sure the cargo remains
securely fastened.
● Do not exceed 150 lb. (68 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
NOTICE
■When loading the luggage
Be careful not to scratch the surface of the moon roof.

152 2-1. Driving procedures
CAUTION
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents
that may result in death or serious injury.
● Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their bod-
ies are not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury.
● Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit per-
mits it, do not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicle has high-
speed capability tires. Driving over 85 mph (140 km/h) may result in tire
failure, loss of control and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer
to determine whether the tires on your vehicle are high-speed capability
tires or not before driving at such speeds.
● If you drive through deep water over about 20 in. (500 mm) in depth, put
the vehicle height in the HI mode using the height control switch and then
change to manual mode by pushing the height control mode select switch.
Drive your vehicle at 18 mph (30 km/h) or less. Do not drive through water
deeper than about 28 in. (700 mm) even if the vehicle height is in “HI”
mode.
■ When driving on slippery road surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and
reduce your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident.
● Sudden changes in engine speed, such as engine braking caused by up-
shifting or down-shifting, may cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an
accident.
● After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make
sure that the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent
the brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet
and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected, resulting in
an accident.
■ When shifting the shift lever
●Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION
■
If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as 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 your Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.
*6: In order to confirm operation, the BSM outside rear view mirror indi-
cators illuminate in the following situations:
• When the engine switch is turned to the ON position while the BSM main switch is set to ON.
• When the BSM main switch is set to ON while the engine switch is in the ON position.
If the system is functioning correctly, the BSM outside rear view mirror
indicators will turn off after a few seconds.
If the BSM outside rear view mirror indicators do not illuminate or do
not turn off, there may be a malfunction with the system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
