C-HR_OM_USA_OM10526U■
When the side window canno t be opened or closed
When the jam protection function or catch protection function operates
unusually and the side window cannot be opened or closed, perform the fol-
lowing operations with the power window switch of that door.
● Stop the vehicle. With the engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles
without a smart key system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart
key system), within 4 seconds of the jam protection function or catch protec-
tion function activating, continuously operate the power window switch in
the one-touch closing direction or one-touch opening direction so that the
side window can be opened and closed.
● If the side window cannot be opened and closed even when performing the
above operations, perform the following procedure for function initialization.
Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key
system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system).
Pull and hold the power window switch in the one-touch closing direction
and completely close the side window.
Release the power window switch for a moment, resume pulling the
switch in the one-touch closing direction, and hold it there for approxi-
mately 6 seconds or more.
Press and hold the power window switch in the one-touch opening direc-
tion. After the side window is completely opened, continue holding the
switch for an additional 1 second or more.
Release the power window switch for a moment, resume pushing the
switch in the one-touch opening direction, and hold it there for approxi-
mately 4 seconds or more.
Pull and hold the power window switch in the one-touch closing direction
again. After the side window is completely closed, continue holding the
switch for a further 1 second or more.
If you release the switch while the window is moving, start again from t\
he
beginning. If the window reverses and cannot be fully closed or opened, have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

■When starting off on an uphill
The hill-start assist control will activate. ( →P. 279)
■ 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.
■ Engine speed while driving
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
● When the brake pedal is depressed suddenly and vehicle speed is reduced
sharply
■ Restraining the engine output (Brake Override System)
● When the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed at the same time, the
engine output may be restrained.
● A warning message is displayed on the multi-information display while the
system is operating.
■ Restraining sudden star t (Drive-Start Control)
● When the following unusual operation is performed, the engine output may
be restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted from R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D, or P to
R (D includes M) with the accelerator pedal depressed, a warning mes-
sage appears on the multi-information display.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed too much while the vehicle is in reverse.
● While Drive-Start Control is being activated, your vehicle may have trouble
escaping from the mud or fresh snow. In such case, deactivate TRAC to
cancel Drive-Start Control so that the vehicle may become able to escape
from the mud or fresh snow.

out a smart
key system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system), the
parking brake cannot be released using the parking brake switch.
● When the engine switch is not in the “ON” position (vehicles with\

■ If “EPB Frequently Operated, Wait a Minute.” is displayed on the
multi-information display
If the parking brake is operated repeatedly over a short period of time, the
system may restrict operation to prevent overheating. If this happens, refrain
from operating the parking brake. Normal operation will return after about 1
minute.
■ If “EPB Activation Incomplete.” or “E PB Unavailable” is displayed on the
multi-information display
Operate the parking brake switch. If the message does not disappear after

The RCTA functions when your vehicle is in reverse. It can detect
other vehicles approaching from the ri ght or left rear of the vehicle. It

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the function
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
The RCTA function is only a supplementary function which alerts the driver
that a vehicle is approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle.
As the RCTA function may not function correctly under certain conditions,
the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary. Over reliance on
this function may lead to an accident resulting death or serious injury.

Rear view monitor system
The rear view image is displayed
when the shift lever is in R and the
engine switch is in the “ON” posi-
tion (vehicles without a smart key
system) or IGNITION ON mode
(vehicles with a smart key sys-
tem).
This reversed image is a similar
image to the one on the inside rear
view mirror.
If you shift the shift lever to any
positions other than R, the screen
is turned off.
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an
image of the view behind the veh icle with fixed guide lines on
the screen while backing up, for example while parking.
The screen illustrations used in this text are intended as examples,
and may differ from the image that is actually displayed on the
screen.
