Loads
Safety notes
WARNING
A high gross vehicle weight can make
the tyres to overheat, causing internal
damage and a sudden loss of tyre
inflation pressure. Handling charac-
teristics can be negatively influenced,
for example reduced directional sta-
bility, longer braking distance and
modified steering characteristics.
There is a danger of accidents.
Please comply with the permitted load
index of the tyre, and do not exceed
the permitted gross vehicle weight.

Wrap protective material around
any sharp corners and edges on
the load.
Heavy transported loads: stow
as far forward and as low down as possible, ideally directly
behind the boot partition.
Small and lightweight trans-
ported loads: can be secured
with retaining straps, a luggage
net or other suitable straps.
Large and heavy transported
loads: secure with lashing straps.
Equipment for securing the trans-
ported load, for example lashing
straps, tensioning straps or luggage
nets, must be secured to the lash-
ing eyes in the boot.
Four lashing eyes are located in the
boot for securing the loads.
There is a bag holder on the left
and right side in the boot.
WARNING
If the permitted total weight and the
permitted axle loads are exceeded,
the operational safety of the vehicle is
no longer guaranteed. There is a dan-
ger of accidents. Do not exceed the
permitted total weight and permitted
axle loads.
WARNING
Loose objects or devices connected
by a cable to the vehicle, for example
mobile telephones, may be flung
around the interior during the journey,
for example in an accident or during
braking and evasive manoeuvres.
There is a danger of injury. Ensure
that loose objects or devices con-
nected by cable to the vehicle are
secured in place in the interior.
WARNING
Incorrectly stowed objects may slip or
be flung into the interior, for example
in an accident, during braking or eva-
sive manoeuvres. Vehicle occupants
could be struck and injured. There is
a danger of injury. Stow and secure
objects and the load correctly.
NOTICE
Liquids in the boot may cause dam-
age. There is a danger of damage to
property. Ensure that no liquids leak

Supra Owner's Manual4-1. DRIVING HINTS
This situation, known as aquaplan-
ing, means that the tyre can actu-
ally lose contact completely with
the road surface and the vehicle
can neither be steered, nor the
brakes properly applied.
Please comply with the following
when driving through water:
Only drive through still water.
Only drive through water up to a
max. depth of 25 cm, 9.8 in.
Drive through water at a walking
speed of no more than 5 km/h, 3
mph.
The vehicle is equipped with the
Anti-lock Brake System ABS as
standard.
Perform full braking in situations that require it.
The vehicle remains steerable. Any
obstacles can be avoided by per-
forming steering movements as
smoothly as possible.
A pulsing of the brake pedal and
hydraulic regulating sounds indi-
cate that the Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem ABS is regulating.
In certain braking situations, the
perforated brake discs can cause
functional noise. However, func-
tional noises have no effect on the
efficiency and operational safety of
the brakes.
In damp weather, on gritted roads
and in heavy rain, apply the brakes
lightly every few kilometres/miles. Driving through water
General
Safety note
NOTICE
Driving through excessively deep
water too fast can result in water
entering the engine compartment,
electrical system or transmission.
There is a danger of damage to prop-
erty. When driving through water, do
not exceed the maximum water depth
and speed specified above.
Safe braking
General
Objects in the range of movement
of the pedals
WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell can
restrict the pedal travel or block a
pedal that has been pressed. There is
a danger of accidents. Stow items in
the vehicle so that they are secure
and cannot get into the driver's
footwell. Only use floor mats that are
suitable for the vehicle and can be
securely fastened to the floor. Do not
use loose floor mats, and do not place
several floor mats on top of one
another. Make sure that there is suffi-
cient space for the pedals. Ensure
that floor mats are securely reat-
tached after having been removed, for
example for cleaning.

have the legally prescribed mini-
mum height of 1.6 mm, approxi-
mately 0.06 in.
The positions of the wear displays
are identified on the tyre's side wall
by TWI, Tread Wear Indicator.
Inspect tyres regularly for damage,
the presence of foreign bodies and
wear.
Vehicle behaviour that may indicate
tyre damage or other faults:
• Unusual vibrations.
• Unusual tyre or running noises.
• Unusual vehicle response, such
as pronounced pulling to the left
or right.
Damage can be caused by the fol-
lowing situations, for example:
• Driving over kerbs.
• Road damage.
• Tyre inflation pressure insuffi-
cient.
• Vehicle overloading.
• Incorrect tyre storage.
Irrespective of the tyre tread depth,
change tyres after 6 years at the
latest.
The date of manufacture of the tyre
is indicated on the tyre sidewall.
Tyre damage
General
Safety notes
WARNING
If the tyres are damaged, the tyre
inflation pressure may be reduced,
which in turn could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle. There is a dan-
ger of accidents. If you suspect tyre
damage while you are driving, imme-
diately reduce speed and bring the
vehicle to a stop. Have the wheels
and tyres checked. To do so, carefully
drive to any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer. If necessary, have
the vehicle towed or transported
there. Do not repair damaged tyres,
but have them replaced instead.
WARNING
Tyres can become damaged by run-
ning over obstacles, for example
kerbs or road damage, at high speed.
Larger wheels have a smaller tyre
cross-section. The smaller the tyre
cross-section, the higher the risk of
tyre damage. There is a danger of
accidents and damage to property. If
possible, drive around obstacles or
drive over them slowly and carefully.
