WARNING
■Do not allow an occupant in the front passenger’s seat to sit w ith a
posture which makes it difficult for the front passenger occupa nt clas-
sification sensor to detect the occupant correctly
Sitting in the front passenger’s seat with a posture which make s it difficult
for the front passenger occupant classification sensor to detec t the occu-
pant correctly is dangerous. If the front passenger occupant classification
sensor cannot detect the occupant sitting on the front passenge r’s seat cor-
rectly, the front passenger front and side air bags and pretens ioner system
may not operate (deploy) or they may operate (deploy) accidenta lly. The
front passenger will not have the supplementary protection of t he air bags or
the accidental operation (deployment) of the air bags could res ult in serious
injury or death. Under the following conditions, the front pass enger occu-
pant classification sensor cannot detect a passenger sitting on the front
passenger’s seat correctly and the deployment/non-deployment of the air
bags cannot be controlled as indicated in the front passenger air bag deac-
tivation indicator light on/off condition chart. For example:
● A front passenger is seated as shown in the following figure:
● A rear passenger pushes up on the front passenger seat with their feet.
● Luggage or other items placed under the front passenger seat or between
the front passenger seat and driver seat that push up the front passenger
seat bottom.
● An object, such as a seat cushion, is put on the front passenge r’s seat or
between the passenger’s back and the seatback.

Before Driving
Door Locks
When the ignition is switched to ACC or ON, the vehicle lock-out pre-
vention feature prevent s you from locking yourself out of the vehicle.
All doors and the liftgate will automatically unlock if they are locked
using the power door locks with any door or the liftgate open.
The vehicle lock-out prevention feature does not operate while the
ignition is switched off.
When all doors and the liftgate are locked using the power door lock
with any door or the liftgate/tr unk lid open, the closed doors and the
liftgate are locked. After that, when all doors and the liftgat e/trunk lid
are closed, all doors and the liftgate are locked. However, if the key is
inside the vehicle, all doors and the liftgate are automaticall y
unlocked.
With the advanced ke yless function:
The beep sound is heard for about 10 seconds to notify the driver that
the key has been le ft in the vehicle.
Without the advanced keyless function:
The horn sound is heard twice to notify the driver that the key has
been left in the vehicle.
■ Door unlock (control) system with collision detection
This system automatically unlocks the doors and the liftgate in the event the
vehicle is involved in an accident to allow passengers to get o ut of the vehicle
immediately and prevent being trapped inside. While the ignitio n is switched
ON and in the event the vehicle receives an impact strong enoug h to inflate
the air bags, all the doors and the liftgate are automatically unlocked after
about 6 seconds have elapsed from the time of the accident.
The doors and the liftgate may not unlock depending on how an i mpact is
applied, the force of the impact, and other conditions of the a ccident.
If door-related systems or the battery is malfunctioning, the doors and the lift-
gate will not unlock.

2-9. Driving Tips
Saving Fuel and Protection of the Environment
How you operate your Toyota determines how far it will travel o n a
tank of fuel. Use these suggesti ons to help save fuel and reduce CO2.
• Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine runs smoothly, begin driv -
ing.
• Avoid fast starts.
• Drive at lower speeds.
• Anticipate when to apply the br akes (avoid sudden braking).
• Follow the maintenance schedule and have your Toyota dealer pe r-
form inspections and servicing.
• Use the air conditioner only when necessary.
• Slow down on rough roads.
• Keep the tires properly inflated.
• Do not carry unnecessary weight.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
• Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
• Keep windows clos ed at high speeds.
• Slow down when driving in crosswinds and headwinds.
WARNING
■ Never stop the engine when going down a hill
Stopping the engine when going down a hill is dangerous. This c auses the
loss of power steering and power brake control, and may cause d amage to
the drivetrain. Any loss of steering or braking control could c ause an acci-
dent.

When Driving
●The Low Speed Pre-Collision System will not operate if the driv er is deliber-
ately performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and stee ring wheel).
● The Low Speed Pre-Collision System will operate under the follo wing condi-
tions.
• The engine is running.
• The Low Speed Pre-Collision System warning light (amber) does not illu-
minate.
• The vehicle speed is between about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h).
• The Low Speed Pre-Collision System is not turned off.
• The DSC is not malfunctioning.
● The Low Speed Pre-Collision System detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a
near-infrared laser beam and receiving the beam reflected off the reflector
of the vehicle ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Co nsequently,
the Low Speed Pre-Collision System may not operate under the following
conditions:
• Reflection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicl e ahead.
• The vehicle ahead is significantly dirty.
• Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
• The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used when it’s raining.
• The windshield is dirty.
• The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is
accelerated rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
• Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extreme ly low or
high profile.
• Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.
● Under the following conditions, the Low Speed Pre-Collision Sys tem may
not operate normally.
• Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the r ear seat.
• If there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.
• When driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and e xiting
exits.
• Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers
the laser sensor.
• Exhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water v apor rising
from manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
• When towing a malfunctioning vehicle.
• When driving with tires having significantly different wear.

3-12. Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Because this system detects slight changes in tire conditions, the timing
of the warning may be faster o r slower in the following cases:
●The size, manufacturer, or the type of tires is different from the specifica-
tion.
●The size, manufacturer, or the type of a tire is different from the others,
or the level of tire wear is excessively differe nt between them.
●A run-flat tire, studless tire, s now tire, or tire chains are used.
●An emergency tire is used (The t ire pressure monitoring system warning
light may flash and then continue illuminating).
●A tire is repaired using the e mergency flat tire repair kit.
●The tire pressure is excessively higher than the specified pres sure, or
the tire pressure is suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tire
burst during driving.
●The vehicle speed is lower than about 9.3 mph (15 km/h) (includ ing
when the vehicle is stopped), or the drive period is shorter than 5 min-
utes.
●The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.
●Hard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as
during aggressive driving on a winding road.
●Load on the vehicle is applied to a tire such as by loading hea vy luggage
to one side o f the vehicle.
●System initialization has not bee n implemented with the specified tire
pressure.

4-1. Climate Control System
Operating Tips
• Operate the climate control system with the engine running.
• To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the fan
control dial on for a long perio d of time with the ignition switched
ON when the engine is not running.
• Clear all obstructions such as l eaves, snow and ice from the hood
and the air inlet in t he cowl grille to imp rove the system efficiency.
• Use the climate control system to defog the windows and dehumi d-
ify the air.
• The recirculate mode should be used when driving through tunne ls
or while in a traffic jam, or when you would like to shut off o utside
air for quick cooling of the interior.
• Use the outside air position for ventilation or windshield defrosting.
• If the vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows to let warm air escape, then run the climate con-
trol system.
• Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes at least once a month to
keep internal parts lubricated.
• Have the air conditioner checke d before the weather gets hot. Lack
of refrigerant may make the ai r conditioner less efficient.
The refrigerant specifications
are indicated on a label
attached to the inside of the
engine compartment. Check
the label before refilling the
refrigerant. If the wrong type of
refrigerant is used, it could
result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
For details, consult your Toyota
dealer.
