WARNING
■ Caution while driving
Observe the following precautions.
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.

To avoid personal injury and mirror malfunction, be careful not to get your
hand caught by the moving mirror.

2-1. Driving procedures
VERSO_EE_OM64517E
WARNING
■ When driving the vehicle
● On vehicles with a Multidrive, do not shift the shift lever to “P” while the
vehicle is moving.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
● Do not shift the shift lever to “R” while the vehicle is moving forward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
● Do not shift the shift lever to a driving position while the vehicle is moving
backward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
● Moving the shift lever to “N” while the vehicle is moving will disengage the
engine from the transmission. Engine br aking is not available when “N” is
selected.
● During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off
while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the
power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult to
steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 619
● Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. ( P. 208, 214)
● When stopped on an inclined surface, use the brake pedal and parking
brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward or forward and causing
an accident.
● 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.

When driving
VERSO_EE_OM64517E
WARNING
● Do not subject the front sensor to a strong impact.
● Do not change the installation position or direction of the front sensor or
remove it.
● Do not disassemble the front sensor.
● Do not install an electronic device or device that emits strong electric
waves near the front sensor.
● Do not modify any components of the vehicle around the front sensor
(inside rear view mirror, sun visors, etc.) or ceiling.
● Do not attach any accessories that may obstruct the front sensor to the
hood, front grille or front bumper. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional for details.
● If a surfboard or other long object is to be mounted on the roof, make sure
that it will not obstruct the front sensor.
● Do not modify the headlights or other lights.
● Do not attach anything to or place anything on the dashboard.
■ Installation area of front sensor on windshield
When the windshield is fogging up easily, the glass around the front sensor
may be hot due to the heater running. If the glass is touched, it may result in
burns.

2-6. Driving information
VERSO_EE_OM64517E
■ Break-in schedule
Toyota recommends that vehicles fitted with new power train components
should not be used for towing trailers for the first 800 km (500 miles).
■ Maintenance
● Maintenance must be performed more frequently when using the vehicle
for towing due to the greater weight burden placed on the vehicle com-
pared to normal driving.
● Retighten all bolts securing the hitching ball and bracket after towing for
approximately 1000 km (600 miles).
■ Safety checks before towing
● Check that the maximum load limit for the towing hitch/bracket and hitch
ball is not exceeded. Bear in mind that the coupling weight of the trailer
will add to the load exerted on the vehicle. Also make sure that the total
load exerted on the vehicle is within the range of the weight limits.
( P. 330)
● Ensure that the trailer load is secure.
● Supplementary outside rear view mirrors should be added to the vehicle
if the traffic behind cannot be clearly seen with standard mirrors. Adjust
the extending arms of these mirrors on both sides of the vehicle so that
they always provide maximum visibility of the road behind.
NOTICE
■ When the rear bumper strengthening material is aluminum
Ensure the steel bracket part does not come directly in contact with that
area.
When steel and aluminum come into cont act, there is a reaction similar to
corrosion, which will weaken the section concerned which may result in
damage. Apply a rust inhibitor to parts that will come in contact when attach-
ing a steel bracket.
