1-2. Seat Belt Systems
WARNING
■Do not wear twisted seat belts
Twisted seat belts are dangerous. In a collision, the full widt h of the belt is
not available to absorb the impact. This puts more force on the bones
beneath the belt, which could cause serious injury or death. So , if your seat
belt is twisted, you must straighten the seat belt to remove any twists and to
allow the full width of the belt to be used.
■ Never use one seat belt on more than one person at a time
Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat
belt used in this way cannot spread the impact forces properly and the two
passengers could be crushed together and seriously injured or even killed.
Never use one belt for more than one person at a time and alway s operate
the vehicle with each occupant properly restrained.
■ Do not operate a vehicle with a damaged seat belt
Using a damaged seat belt is dangerous. An accident could damag e the
belt webbing of the seat belt in use. A damaged seat belt cannot provide
adequate protection in a collision. Have your Toyota dealer ins pect all seat
belt systems in use during an accident before they are used aga in.
■ Have your seat belts changed immed iately if the pretensioner or load
limiter has been expended
Always have your Toyota dealer immediately inspect the seat bel t preten-
sioners and air bags after any collision. Like the air bags, the seat belt pre-
tensioners and load limiters will only function once and must b e replaced
after any collision that caused them to deploy. A seat belt with an expended
pretensioner or load limiter is still better than wearing no se at belt at all;
however, if the seat belt pretensioners and load limiters are n ot replaced,
the risk of injury in a collision will increase.
■ Positioning the Shoulder P ortion of the Seat Belt
Improper positioning of the shoulder portion of the seat belt i s dangerous.
Always make sure the shoulder portion of the seat belt is posit ioned across
your shoulder and near your neck, but never under your arm, on your neck,
or on your upper arm.
■ Positioning the Lap Portion of the Seat Belt
The lap portion of the seat belt worn too high is dangerous. In a collision,
this would concentrate the impact force directly on the abdomin al area,
causing serious injury. Wear the lap portion of the belt snugly and as low as
possible.

2-9. Driving Tips

Before Driving
Hazardous Driving
When driving on ice or in water, snow, mud, sand, or similar hazards:
• Be cautious and allow ex tra distance for braking.
• Avoid sudden braking and sudden maneuvering.
• Do not pump the brakes. Continue to press down on the brake pedal. Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS) on P. 215.
• If you get stuck, select a lower gear and accelerate slowly. D o not
spin the front wheels.
• For more traction in starting on slippery surfaces such as ice or
packed snow, use sand, rock sal t, chains, carpeting, or other non-
slip material under the front wheels.
Use snow chains only on the front wheels.
WARNING
■ Be extremely careful if it is necessary to downshift on slipper y sur-
faces
Downshifting into lower gear while driving on slippery surfaces is danger-
ous. The sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to s kid. This
could lead to loss of vehicle control and an accident.

2-9. Driving Tips

Before Driving
Driving In Flooded Area
WARNING
■Dry off brakes that have become wet by driving slowly, releasin g the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes several times until
the brake performance returns to normal
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Increased stopping distan ce or the
vehicle pulling to one side when braking could result in a seri ous accident.
Light braking will indicate whether the brakes have been affect ed.
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle on flooded roads as it could cause sho rt circuiting
of electrical/electronic parts, or engine damage or stalling fr om water
absorption. If the vehicle has been immersed in water, consult your Toyota
dealer.

When Driving
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The driver will feel a slight vibration in the brake pedal and may hear a
chattering noise from the brake system. This is normal ABS syst em
operation. Continue to depress the brake pedal without pumping the
brakes.
The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Contact Your Toyota Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on
P. 493.
● Braking distances may be longer on loose surfaces (snow or grav el, for
example) which usually have a hard foundation. A vehicle with a normal
braking system may require less distance to stop under these co nditions
because the tires will build up a wedge of surface layer when t he wheels
skid.
● The sound of the ABS operating may be heard when starting the engine or
immediately after starting the vehicle, however, it does not in dicate a mal-
function.
The ABS control unit continuously monitors the speed of each
wheel. If one wheel is about to lock up, the ABS responds by
automatically releasing and reapplying that wheel’s brake.
WARNING
■ Do not rely on ABS as a su bstitute for safe driving
The ABS cannot compensate for unsafe and reckless driving, exce ssive
speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely), driv ing on ice and
snow, and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction and road contact because of
water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.

3-6. ABS/TCS/DSC
Traction Control System (TCS)
The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Contact Your Toyota Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on
P. 493.
To turn off the TCS, press the DSC OFF switch ( P. 219).
The Traction Control System (TCS) enhances traction and safety
by controlling engine torque and braking. W hen the TCS detects
driving wheel slippage, it lower s engine torque and operates th e
brakes to prevent loss of traction.
This means that on a slick surface , the engine adjusts automati-
cally to provide optimum power to the drive wheels, limiting
wheel spin and loss of traction.
WARNING
■ Do not rely on the Traction Cont rol System (TCS) as a substitute for
safe driving
The Traction Control System (TCS) cannot compensate for unsafe and
reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following anothe r vehicle too
closely), and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction and road contact because
of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.
■ Use snow tires or tire chains and drive at reduced speeds when roads
are covered with ice and/or snow
Driving without proper traction devices on snow and/or ice-cove red roads is
dangerous. The Traction Control System (TCS) alone cannot provide ade-
quate traction and you could still have an accident.
