■To prevent key damage
● Do not drop the keys, subject them to strong shocks or bend them.
● Do not expose the keys to high temperatures for long periods of  time.
● Do not get the keys wet or wash them in an ultrasonic washer, e tc.
● Do not attach metallic or magnetic materials to the keys or place the keys
close to such materials.
● Do not disassemble the keys.

1443-4. Adjusting the steering wheel and mirrors
From inside (if equipped)
Press  the  switch  to  fold  the  mir-
rors.
Press  it  again  to  extend  them  to
the original position.
The  mirrors  can  be  manually  slid
outward  to  improve  visibility
around wide trailers.
When the mirror select switch is in the L or R position, the ou tside rear
view  mirrors  will  automatically  a ngle  downwards  when  the  vehicl e  is
reversing in order to give a better view of the ground.
To  disable  this  function,  move  the  mirror  select  switch  to  the  neutral
position (between L and R).
■Adjusting the mirror angle when the vehicle is reversing
With  the  shift  lever  in  R,  adjust  the  mirror  angle  at  a  desired  posi-
tion. The adjusted angle will be  memorized and the mirror will auto-
matically  tilt  to  the  memorized  angle  whenever  the  shift  lever  is
shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position of the mirror is linked to the nor-
mal position (angle adjusted with the shift lever in other than  R). There-
fore,  if  the  normal  position  is  changed  after  adjustment,  the  t ilt  position
will also change.
When the normal position is changed, readjust the angle in reve rsing.

Driving
■If the “S” indicator does not come on even after shifting the s hift lever to
S
This  may  indicate  a malfunction  in the  automatic transmission s ystem.  Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer, immediately. 
(In  this  situation,  the  transmission  will  operate  in  the  same  m anner  as  when
the shift lever is in D.)
■ Downshifting restrictions  warning buzzer (S mode)
To  help  ensure  safety  and  driving  performance,  downshifting  ope ration  may
sometimes  be  restricted.  In  some  circumstances,  downshifting  ma y  not  be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (A buzzer will  sound twice.)
■ Transmission protection function
If  the  tires  spin  continually  when  the  vehicle  becomes  stuck  in  mud,  dirt  or
snow,  the  automatic  transmission  temperature  may  become  too  high  and
cause damage.
To  avoid  the  damaging  the  automatic  transmission,  the  system  may  tempo-
rarily lock the gear in 1st.
If  the  automatic  transmission  temperature  falls,  the  gear  locki ng  is  canceled
and returns the automatic transmission to the normal operation.
WARNING
■ When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift gears suddenly.
Sudden  changes  in  engine  braking  may  cause  the  vehicle  to  spin  or  skid,
resulting in an accident.
■ To prevent an accident when releasing the shift lock
Before pressing the shift lock override button, make sure to se t the parking
brake and depress the brake pedal. 
If the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed instead of t he brake pedal
when  the  shift  lock  override  button  is  pressed  and  the  shift  le ver  is  shifted
out  of  P,  the  vehicle  may  suddenly  start,  possibly  leading  to  a n  accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
