Before driving
The engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles
without a smart key system), or the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key sys-
tem). After the self-check is
performed, the ON indicator
should illuminate while the OFF indicator remains off. If the
OFF indicator still remains illumi nated while the ON indicator
remains off, ask the occupant to move to the rear seat and
immediately contact your Toyota dealer for an inspection.STEP 5

134 1-7. Safety information
If the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator illuminates and the OFF indicator turns off
even when an infant or a small child is in a child restraint system (including booster seat)
This can be caused by the child restraint system being installe d incor-
rectly. Perform the following.
Vehicles without a smart key system:
The engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system:
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off.
Remove the child restraint system from the seat. By referring
to the child restraint manufacturer’s recommendations as well
as the child restraint system in stallation procedure in “child
restraint system”, correctly rein stall the child restraint system.
Vehicles without a smart key system:
The engine switch is turned to the “ON” position and make
sure that the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator
turns off and the OFF indicator illuminates.
Vehicles with a smart key system:
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON
mode and make sure that the front passenger’s frontal airbag
ON indicator turns off and t he OFF indicator illuminates.
If the ON indicator still remains illuminated while the OFF ind i-
cator turns off, perform the following.
• Ensure that no article is pla ced on the seat other than the
child restraint system and the child occupant.
• Ensure that the backward-fo rward position and seatback of
front passenger seat are locked into place securely by mov-
ing the seat back and forth.
If the ON indicator still remains illuminated while the OFF ind i-
cator turns off after taking the relevant corrective actions
described above, relocate the child restraint system to the
rear seat and immediately contact your Toyota dealer for an
inspection.

When driving
■
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 i mplementation
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 1000 miles [1600 km])
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 1000 miles (1600 km):
● Do not allow the engine speed to exceed 4000 rpm except in an e mer-
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 em ergency.
● Avoid hard braking, except in an emergency.
The same break-in procedures should be applied to an overhauled
engine, newly mounted engine or when brake pads or brake lining s are
replaced with new ones.
■ High friction brake pads (if equipped)
The brake pads and discs are designed for use under high load c onditions.
Therefore, brake noise may be generated depending on the vehicl e speed,
braking force and vehicle environment (temperature, humidity, e tc.).
■ 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 you r Toyota
dealer perform the bedding down.

156 2-1. Driving procedures
■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 lou d 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. 461)
■ REV indicator
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 increas e
immediately after starting the engine, when the air conditioning system is
operating, when turning the steering wheel, etc., thereby causi ng 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. 204, 217)
(When the engine speed enters the red
zone, the REV indicator flashes regard-
less of settings.)

WARNING
■
When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel-
erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the b rake
pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident
that could result in death or serious injury.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi-
culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving t he
vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and acceler-
ator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake
pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-
ing in an accident.
● Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammabl e materials.
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. Thes e hot
parts may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearb y.
● On vehicles with an automatic transmission, do not let the vehi cle roll
backward while the shift lever is in a driving position, or roll forward while
the shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine to stall or lead to poor brake and steering
performance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehicle.
● If the smell of exhaust is noticed inside the vehicle, open the windows and
check that the trunk is closed. Large amounts of exhaust in the vehicle can
cause driver drowsiness and an accident, resulting in death or a serious
health hazard. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immedi-
ately.
● On vehicles with a manual transmission, 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 o f vehicle
control.
● Do not shift the shift lever to a driving position while the ve hicle is moving
backward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss o f vehicle
control.
