■ When starting off on an uphill 
The hill-start assist control will activate. ( P. 210) 
■ Driving in the rain 
● Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win- 
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery. 
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe- 
cially 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 sur- 
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly. 
■ Breaking in your new Toyota 
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recom- 
mended: 
● For the first 300 km (200 miles): 
Avoid sudden stops. 
● For the first 1000 km (600 miles): 
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds. 
• Avoid sudden acceleration. 
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods. 
■ High friction brake pads 
The brake pads and discs are desi gned 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.). 
■ Operating your vehicle in a foreign country 
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability 
of the correct fuel. ( P. 378)

■Daytime running light system 
To make your vehicle more visible to  other drivers during daytime driving, the 
daytime running lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started 
and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch off or in the
“AUTO” position. (Illuminate brighter than the front position lights.) Daytime 
running lights are not designed for use at night. 
■ Headlight control sensor 
■ Automatic light off system 
● When the light switch is in  or  : The headlights and front fog 
lights turn off automatically when the engine switch is turned off. 
● When the light switch is in  : The headlights and all the lights turn off 
automatically when the engine switch is turned off. 
To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode, or 
turn the light switch to   once and then back to  or . 
The sensor may not function properly if an 
object is placed on the sensor, or anything 
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the
windshield.  
Doing so interferes with the sensor 
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys- 
tem to malfunction.
