the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain,
because the road surface will be
especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driv-
ing 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.

als are depressed at the same time,

■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observ- ing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
●For the first 300 km (186 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 1000 km (621 miles): • Do not drive at extremely high
speeds. • Avoid sudden acceleration.• Do not drive continuously in low
gears. • Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
■Brake pads and discs
●The brake pads and discs are designed for use under high load con-
ditions. Therefore, brake noise may be generated depending on the vehi-cle speed, braking force and vehicle
environment (temperature, humidity, etc.).
●The brake pad is easy to be over dust, and life may be short.
●The brake pad may do stick to discs.
●Braking force may decrease by low
temperature, snow, water.
■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 any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer perform the bedding down operation.
■Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle regis- tration laws and confirm the availability of the correct fuel. ( →P.352)
■Idling time before engine stop
To prevent damage to the turbocharger, allow the engine to idle immediately after high-load driving.
Driving conditionIdling time
Normal city driving or
high-speed driving (at
the high-way speed
limit or recommended
speed)
Not necessary
Steep hill driving, con-
tinuous driving (race
track driving etc.)
Approximately
1 minute
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accel-
erator pedal instead of the brake pedal will result in sudden accelera-tion that may lead to an accident.
• 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 the vehicle only slightly. This allows you
to depress the brake and accelera- tor 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.
