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

emergency brake signal
The emergency brake signal will be can-
celed in any of the following situations:
●The emergency flashers are turned
on.
●The system judges from the vehicle
deceleration that is not a sudden brak-
ing operation.
■Secondary Collision Brake operat-
ing conditions (if equipped)
The system operates when the SRS air-
bag sensor detects a collision while the
vehicle is in motion.
However, the system does not operate in any of the following situations.
●The vehicle speed is below 10 km/h (6
mph)
●Components are damaged
■Secondary Collision Brake auto-
matic cancelation (if equipped)
The system is automatically canceled in
any of the following situations.
●The vehicle speed drops below
approximately 10 km/h (6 mph)
●A certain amount of time elapses
during operation
●The accelerator pedal is depressed a
large amount

4-6. Driving tips
Driving
the driving conditions:
zDo not try to forcibly open a win-
dow or move a wiper that is fro-
zen. Pour warm water over the
frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe
away the water immediately to
prevent it from freezing.
zTo ensure proper operation of
the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accu-
mulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
zCheck for and remove any
excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the exte-
rior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis,
around the tires or on the brakes.
zRemove any snow or mud from
the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep
a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a
reduced speed suitable to road
conditions.
zPark the vehicle and shift the
shift lever to 1 or R without set-
ting the parking brake. The park-
ing brake may freeze up,
preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is parked
without setting the parking brake,
make sure to block the wheels.Failure to do so may be danger-
ous because it may cause the
vehicle to move unexpectedly,
possibly leading to an accident.
Use the correct tire chain size when
mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each tire
size.
Side chain:
3 mm (0.12 in.) in diameter
10 mm (0.39 in.) in width
30 mm (1.18 in.) in length
Cross chain:
4 mm (0.16 in.) in diameter
14 mm (0.55 in.) in width
25 mm (0.98 in.) in length
Regulations regarding the use of
tire chains vary depending on loca-
tion and type of road. Always check
local regulations before installing

6-2. Matte paint care guide (if equipped)
Maintenance and care
Illustrations in this manual are sim-
plified for explanation and may not
represent the actual vehicle.
Glossiness of a surface is seen by
the human eyes by a difference in
the amount of light that reflects off
the surface.A surface painted with normal clear
coat is flat and smooth. As the
amount of light that reflects off the
surface is large, the vehicle body
will appear glossy.
A surface painted with a matte clear
coat is slightly uneven due to the
added matting agent. As the light
shining on an uneven surface is dif-
fused significantly, the amount of
light reflected is small, making the
vehicle body look not glossy, with a
unique texture.
If the painted surfaces of the vehi-
cle are dirty, wash the vehicle
immediately. (Washing your vehi-
cle →P.258)

contact the manufacturer of the vehi-
cle cover.
●Use a vehicle cover suitable for the
environment the vehicle is to be
stored. For details, contact the manu-
facturer of the vehicle cover.
●Proper use a vehicle cover depends
on the weather and vehicle condition.
If a vehicle cover is used improperly, it
may damage the vehicle’s paint or
body. Follow the instructions included
with the vehicle cover and use it prop-
erly.
1Apply a large amount of water to
the vehicle body from the top to
the bottom to remove sand and
dust.
If the tires or chassis parts are exces-
sively dirty, make sure to wash them
first, otherwise dirt be sprayed onto the
washed vehicle body.
If dirt is not easily washed off, bring the
hose or sprayer nozzle closer to the
vehicle body to slightly increase the
water pressure.
2Using a soft chamois cloth, wipe
the vehicle body gently while
applying plenty of water.
Washing your vehicle
In order to avoid damage to the
vehicle’s paint, washing the
vehicle by hand with only
water is recommended.

refilled in between oil maintenance inter- vals.
●When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or after replacing the engine
●If low quality oil or oil of an inappropri-ate viscosity is used
●When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load, when towing
(vehicles with towing packages), or when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently
●When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently
through heavy trafficThe coolant level is satisfactory if it
is between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines on the reservoir when the
engine is cold.
Reservoir cap
“MAX” line

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.
