WARNING
• In some situations, while the emer- gency steering assist is operating,  
operation of the function may be  canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly, the steering  
wheel is operated sharply or the  brake pedal is being depressed and the system determines that the  
driver is taking evasive action. 
• When the emergency steering  
assist is operating, if the steering  wheel is held firmly or is operated in the opposite direction to that which  
the system is generating torque, the  function may be canceled.
■When to disable the pre-colli-sion system 
In the following situations, disable the  
system, as it may not operate prop- erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed
●When your vehicle is towing another vehicle
●When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of transportation
●When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the engine running and the  
tires are allowed to rotate freely
●When inspecting the vehicle using 
a drum tester such as a chassis  dynamometer or speedometer tes-ter, or when using an on vehicle  
wheel balancer
●When a strong impact is applied to 
the front bumper or front grille, due  to an accident or other reasons
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or  
is malfunctioning

4-5. Using the driving support systems
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and 
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or 
accelerating on slippery roads
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward 
movement of the vehicle when 
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to 
reduce the amount of effort needed 
to turn the steering wheel.
■Active Torque Split AWD sys-
tem
Automatically switches from front-
wheel drive to all-wheel drive 
(AWD) according to the driving con-
ditions, helping to ensure reliable 
handling and stability. Examples of 
conditions where the system will 
switch to AWD are when cornering, 
going uphill, starting off or acceler-
ating, and when the road surface is 
slippery due to snow, rain, etc.
■Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers auto-
matically flash to alert the vehicle 
behind.
■The secondary Collision Brake 
(if equipped)
When the SRS airbag sensor 
detects a collision and the system 
operates, the brakes and brake 
lights are automatically controlled to reduce the vehicle speed and 
help reduce the possibility of further 
damage due to a secondary colli-
sion.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are 
operating
The slip indicator light will flash while the 
TRC/VSC systems are operating.
■Disabling the TRC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or 
snow, the TRC system may reduce 
power from the engine to the wheels. 
Pressing   to turn the system off may 
make it easier for you to rock the vehicle 
in order to free it.
To turn the TRC system off, quickly 
press and release  .
The “TRC OFF” indicator light will come 
on.
Press   again to turn the system 
back on.
■Turning off both TRC and VSC sys-
tems

WARNING
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start  assist control is not intended to hold  
the vehicle stationary for an  extended period of time. Do not attempt to use hill-start assist con- 
trol to hold the vehicle on an incline,  as doing so may lead to an acci-dent.
■When the TRC/VSC is activated 
The slip indicator light flashes. Always  
drive carefully. Reckless driving may  cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are turned off 
Be especially careful and drive at a  speed appropriate to the road condi-tions. As these are the systems to  
help ensure vehicle stability and driv- ing force, do not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
■Expert mode precautions
●Do not use on public roads.
●Use only when the road conditions and safely of the surrounding area  
can be ensured.
●Proper use of expert mode requires 
a professional level of driving skill.  When using expert mode, always check the road conditions and sur- 
rounding area and drive more care- fully than usual.
■Replacing tires 
Make sure that all tires are of the  specified size, brand, tread pattern  
and total load capacity. In addition,  make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire inflation pres- 
sure level. The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires  
are installed on the vehicle. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any  
reliable repairer for further information  when replacing tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspen-sion 
Using tires with any kind of problem  
or modifying the suspension will affect  the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.
■Secondary Collision Brake (if equipped) 
Do not rely solely upon the Secondary  Collision Brake. This system is designed to help reduce the possibil- 
ity of further damage due to a second- ary collision, however, that effect changes according to various condi- 
tions. Overly relying on the system  may result in death or serious injury.
■Active Torque Split AWD system
●The Active Torque Split AWD sys-tem is designed to ensure driving  
stability on general roads and not  for off-road driving such as for rally-ing. Do not subject the system to  
extreme driving conditions.
●Drive carefully on slippery road sur-
faces.

surface.
1 Remove any dirt or foreign mat- 
ter from the wheel contact sur- 
face.
If foreign matter is on the wheel contact  
surface, the wheel nuts may loosen  while the vehicle is in motion, causing the tire to come off.
2 Install the tire and loosely  
tighten each wheel nut by hand  
by approximately the same  
amount.
Turn the wheel nuts until the washers  come into contact with the disc wheel.

WARNING
■Replacing a tire
●Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in serious  
injury: 
Do not touch the disc wheels or the  
area around the brakes immediately 
after the vehicle has been driven. 
After the vehicle has been driven the  
disc wheels and the area around the 
brakes will be extremely hot. Touch-
ing these areas with hands, feet or 
other body parts while changing a tire, 
etc., may result in burns.
●Failure to follow these precautions  
could cause the wheel nuts to  loosen and the tire to fall off, result-ing in death or serious injury. 
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with  a torque wrench to 103 N•m (10.5  
kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf) as soon as possible  after changing wheels. 
• When installing a tire, only use  wheel nuts that have been specifi-cally designed for that wheel. 
• If there are any cracks or deforma- tions in the bolt screws, nut threads  
or bolt holes of the wheel, have the  vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized  
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
