Starting off on a steep uphill
Vehicles with an automatic transmission Make sure that the parking brake is set and shift the shift lever
to D.
Gently depress the accelerator pedal.
Release the parking brake.
Vehicles with a manual transmission With the parking brake firmly 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.
Release the parking brake.
■When starting off on an uphill
When enabled, the hill-start assist control can operate. ( →P. 253)
■ 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 an 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 driving on curves
● When the brake pedal is firmly depressed
■ New vehicle break-in driving (the first 1600 km [1000 miles])
The performance and long life of your vehicle are dependent on how you
handle and care for your vehicle while it is new. Follow these instructions
during the first 1600 km (1000 miles):
●Do not allow the engine speed to exceed 4000 rpm except in an emer-
gency.
● Do not drive at one constant engine or vehicle speed for a long time,
either fast or slow.
● Avoid starting suddenly and rapid acceleration, except in an emergency.
● Avoid hard braking, except in an emergency.
The same break-in procedures should be applied to an overhauled
engine, newly mounted engine or when br ake pads or brake linings are
replaced with new ones.
■ High friction brake pads (if equipped)
The brake pads and discs are designed for use under high load conditions.
Therefore, brake noise may be generated depending on the vehicle speed,
braking force and vehicle environment (temperature, humidity, etc.).
■ 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 any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional perform the bedding down.

■
After the engine starts
In order to secure a rich exhaust sound when starting the vehicle and envi-
ronmental performance, air intake and exhaust sounds become loud and
vibrations may increase for a little while after the engine starts. This is not a
malfunction.
■ Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( →P. 475)
■ REV indicator (if equipped)
WARNING
■When starting the vehicle (vehicl es with an automatic transmission)
● Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
● Firmly depress the brake pedal because engine speed may increase
immediately after starting the engine, when the air conditioning system is
operating, when turning the steering wheel, etc., thereby causing creeping
to become stronger. Apply the parking brake as necessary.
When the set engine speed is reached
the REV indicator comes on and a buzzer
sounds to inform the driver. ( →P. 225)
(When the engine speed enters the red
zone, the REV indicator flashes regard-
less of settings.)
