2124-1. Before driving
WARNING
●Be careful not to shift the shift 
lever with the accelerator pedal 
depressed.
Shifting the shift lever to a gear 
other than P or N may lead to 
unexpected rapid acceleration 
of the vehicle that may cause an 
accident and result in death or 
serious injury. Doing so can 
damage the transmission and 
may result in a loss of vehicle 
control.
■If you hear a squealing or 
scraping noise (brake pad 
wear limit indicators)
Have the brake pads checked and 
replaced by your Toyota dealer as 
soon as possible.
Rotor damage may result if the 
pads are not replaced when 
needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle 
when the wear limits of the brake 
pads and/or those of the brake 
discs are exceeded.
■When the vehicle is stopped
●Do not depress t he accelerator 
pedal unnecessarily. 
If the vehicle is in any gear other 
than P or N, the vehicle may 
accelerate suddenly and unex-
pectedly, causing an accident.
●In order to prev ent accidents 
due to the vehicle rolling away, 
always keep depressing the 
brake pedal while stopped with 
the “READY” indicator is illumi-
nated, and apply the parking 
brake as necessary.
●If the vehicle is stopped on an 
incline, in order to prevent acci-
dents caused by the vehicle roll-
ing forward or backward, always 
depress the brake pedal and 
securely apply the parking 
brake as needed.
●Avoid revving or racing the 
engine.
Running the engine at high 
speed while the vehicle is 
stopped may cause the exhaust 
system to overheat, which could 
result in a fire if combustible 
material is nearby.
■When the vehicle is parked
●Do not leave glasses, cigarette 
lighters, spray cans, or soft 
drink cans in the vehicle when it 
is in the sun.
Doing so may result in the fol-
lowing:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette  lighter or spray  can, and may 
lead to a fire.
• The temperature inside the  vehicle may cause the plastic 
lenses and plastic material of 
glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture,  causing the contents to spray 
over the interior of the vehicle, 
and may also cause a short cir-
cuit in the vehicle’s electrical 
components.
●Do not leave cigarette lighters in 
the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter 
is in a place such as the glove 
box or on the floor, it may be lit 
accidentally when luggage is 
loaded or the se at is adjusted, 
causing a fire.
●Do not attach adhesive discs to 
the windshield or windows. Do 
not place containers such as air 
fresheners on the instrument 
panel or dashboard. Adhesive 
discs or containers may act as 
lenses, causing a fire in the 
vehicle.

■Avoiding 12-volt battery fires 
or explosions
Observe the following precautions 
to prevent accidentally igniting the 
flammable gas that may be emit-
ted from the 12-volt battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is 
connected to the correct termi-
nal and that it is not unintention-
ally in contact with any other 
than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of 
the jumper cable connected to 
the “+” terminal to come into 
contact with any other parts or 
metal surfaces in the area, such 
as brackets or unpainted metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps 
of the jumper cables to come 
into contact with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, 
cigarette lighter s or allow open 
flame near the 1 2-volt battery.
■12-volt battery precautions
The 12-volt battery contains poi-
sonous and corrosive acidic elec-
trolyte, while related parts contain 
lead and lead compounds. 
Observe the following precautions 
when handling the 12-volt battery:
●When working with the 12-volt 
battery, always wear safety 
glasses and take care not to 
allow any battery fluids (acid) to 
come into contact with skin, 
clothing or the vehicle body.
●Do not lean over the 12-volt bat-
tery.
●In the event that battery fluid 
comes into contact with the skin 
or eyes, immediately wash the 
affected area  with water and 
seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth 
over the affected area until 
medical attention can be 
received.
