■Outside temperature display
●In the following situations, the correct
outside temperature may not be dis- played, or the display may take longer than normal to change:
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 25 km/h [16 mph])• When the outside temperature has
changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of a garage, tunnel, etc.)
●When “--” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning. Take your

■Changing the display
Press the display change button
until the desired item is displayed.
WARNING
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to
warm up before using the liquid crys- tal information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information dis-
play monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between
the driver’s shifting and the new gear number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to
downshift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possi-bly an accident resulting in death or
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which indicates the maximum
engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating if
the engine coolant temperature gauge is in the red zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle
in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled com-pletely. ( →P.346)

■Closing the windows
●The driver is responsible for all the
power window operations, including the operation for the passengers. In order to prevent accidental opera-
tion, especially by a child, do not let a child operate the power windows. It is possible for children and other
passengers to have body parts caught in the power window. Also, when riding with a child, it is recom-
mended to use the window lock switch. ( →P.126)
●Check to make sure that all passen- gers do not have any part of their body in a position where it could be
caught when a window is being operated.
●When using the wireless remote control or mechanical key and oper-ating the power windows, operate
the power window after checking to make sure that there is no possibil-ity of any passenger having any of
their body parts caught in the win- dow. Also do not let a child operate window by the wireless remote con-
trol or mechanical key. It is possible for children and other passengers to get caught in the power window.
●When exiting the vehicle, turn the engine switch off, carry the key and
exit the vehicle along with the child. There may be accidental opera-tion, due to mischief, etc., that may
possibly lead to an accident.

windows may become fogged-up, and
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.

■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.

■Toyota Safety Sense
The Toyota Safety Sense is designed to operate under the assumption that the driver will drive safely, and is
designed to help reduce the impact to the occupants and the vehicle in the case of a collision or assist the driver
in normal driving conditions. As there is a limit to the degree of rec-ognition accuracy and control perfor-
mance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. The driver is always responsible for paying
attention to the vehicle’s surroundings and driving safely.
