2564-1. Before driving
HILUX_OM_OM0K375E_(EE) 
■Important points regarding stability 
Vehicle movement resulting from uneven road surfaces and strong 
crosswinds will affect handling. The vehicle may also be rocked by 
passing buses or large trucks. Frequently check behind when mov- 
ing alongside such vehicles. As soon as such vehicle movement 
occurs, immediately start to decelerate smoothly by slowly applying 
the brakes. Always steer the vehicle straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles 
Consider the total combined length of your vehicle and trailer and 
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is sufficient before exe- 
cuting lane changes.
■Transmission information 
Vehicles with manual transmission: To maintain engine braking effi- 
ciency when using engine braking, do not use 5th gear and 6th 
gear. 
Vehicles with automatic transmission: To maintain engine braking 
efficiency when using engine braking, do not use the transmission 
in D. Transmission shift range position must be in 4 or lower, in S 
mode.
■If the engine overheats 
Towing a loaded trailer up a long, steep incline in temperatures 
exceeding 30 C (85F) may result in the engine overheating. If the 
engine coolant temperature gauge indicates that the engine is over- 
heating, turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the road and 
stop the vehicle in a safe place. ( P. 645)
■When parking the vehicle 
Always place wheel chocks under the wheels of both the vehicle 
and trailer. Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P 
for automatic transmissions, and 1 or R for manual transmissions.

■S mode 
When the shift range is 4 or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets the 
shift range to 6. 
■ Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer 
To help ensure safety and driving per formance, downshifting operation may 
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.) 
■ Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode (vehicles 
with automatic air conditioning system) 
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the 
air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency ( P. 497). To improve air 
conditioning performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode. 
■ Deactivation of the driving mode 
● Eco drive mode will not be canceled until the “ECO MODE” switch is 
pressed, even if the engine is turned off after driving in Eco drive mode. 
● Power mode will be canceled if the engine is turned off after driving in power 
mode. 
■ When driving with cruise control activated (if equipped) 
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine 
braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control will not be 
canceled. 
● While driving in S mode, downshifting to 5 or 4. (P. 280) 
● When switching the driving mode to power mode while driving in D.  
( P. 279) 
■ Shift lock system 
The shift lock system is a system to prevent accidental operation of the shift 
lever in starting. 
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in the 
“ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON
mode (vehicles with smart entry & start system) and the brake pedal is being 
depressed.

■ Deactivation of the driving mode 
● Eco drive mode will not be canceled until the “ECO MODE” button is 
pressed, even if the engine is turned off after driving in Eco drive mode. 
● Power mode will be canceled if the engine is turned off after driving in power 
mode. 
■ Reverse warning buzzer (6-speed transmission) 
A buzzer will sound to alert the driver if the shift lever is shifted to the R posi- 
tion.
