For your infor mation
Please note that this manual applies to all models and all equipment, includ-
ing  options.  Therefore,  you  may  find  some  explanations  for  equi pment  not
installed on your vehicle. 
All  specifications  provided  in  this  manual  are  current  at  the  t ime  of  printing.
However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we

Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrat ions may differ
from your vehicle in terms of equipment.
Approximately  five  hours  after  the  engine  is  turned  off,  you  ma y  hear  sound
coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the  sound of a fuel
evaporation leakage check and it does not indicate a malfunctio n.
A  wide  variety  of  non-genuine  spare  parts  and  accessories  for  T oyota  vehi-
cles are currently available in the market. You should know tha t Toyota does
not  warrant  these  products  and  is  not  responsible  for  their  per formance,
repair,  or  replacement,  or  for  any  damage  they  may  cause  to,  or  adverse
effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota pro ducts. Modi-
fication with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its perf ormance, safety
or  durability,  and  may  even  violate  governmental  regulations.  In  addition,
damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may not be
covered under warranty.
Also,  remodeling  like  this  will  have  an  effect  on  advanced  safe ty  equipment
such  as  Toyota  Safety  Sense  P  and  there  is  a  danger  that  it  wil l  not  work
properly  or  the  danger  that  it  may  work  in  situations  where  it  should  not  be
working.

Operation of each component
From inside (if equipped)
Press  the  switch  to  fold  the  mir-
rors.
Press  it  again  to  extend  them  to
the original position.
The  mirrors  can  be  manually  slid
outward  to  improve  visibility
around wide trailers.
When the mirror select switch is in the L or R position, the ou tside rear
view  mirrors  will  automatically  a ngle  downwards  when  the  vehicl e  is
reversing in order to give a better view of the ground.
To  disable  this  function,  move  the  mirror  select  switch  to  the  neutral
position (between L and R).
■Adjusting the mirror angle when the vehicle is reversing
With  the  shift  lever  in  R,  adjust  the  mirror  angle  at  a  desired  posi-
tion. The adjusted angle will be  memorized and the mirror will auto-
matically  tilt  to  the  memorized  angle  whenever  the  shift  lever  is
shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position of the mirror is linked to the nor-
mal position (angle adjusted with the shift lever in other than  R). There-
fore,  if  the  normal  position  is  changed  after  adjustment,  the  t ilt  position
will also change.
When the normal position is changed, readjust the angle in reve rsing.

NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
● Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same tim e during
driving, as this may restrain the engine output.
● Do  not  use  the  accelerator  pedal  or  depress  the  accelerator  and  brake
pedals at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
■ When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake, and shift the shift lever to P. F ailure to do so
may  cause  the  vehicle  to  move  or  the  vehicle  may  move  suddenly  if  the
accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed.
■ Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
● Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and ho ld it there for
an extended period of time. 
Doing so may damage the power steering pump.
● When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possibl e to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc. 
■ If you get a flat tire while driving 
A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly  and  gradually  depress  the  brake  pedal to  slow  down  the  vehi-
cle.
● It may be difficult to control your vehicle.
● The vehicle will make abnormal sounds or vibrations.
● The vehicle will lean abnormally.
Information on what to do in case of a flat tire ( P. 506)
■ When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain, etc.  Doing so may
cause the following serious damage to the vehicle:
● Engine stalling
● Short in electrical components
● Engine damage caused by water immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle i s flooded, be
sure to have your Toyota dealer check the following:
● Brake function
● Changes in quantity and quality of oil and fluid used for the engine, trans-
mission, transfer (4WD models) differentials, etc.
● Lubricant condition for the propeller shaft, bearings and suspe nsion joints
(where possible), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc .

WARNING
■ When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do  not depress the
accelerator pedal while starting the engine under any circumsta nces. 
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious in jury.
■ Caution while driving
If engine failure occurs while the vehicle is moving, do not lo ck or open the
doors  until  the  vehicle  reaches  a  safe  and  complete  stop.  Other wise,  the
steering  lock  function  will  activate  and  this  may  lead  to  an  ac cident,  result-
ing in death or serious injury.
■ Stopping the engine in an emergency
If  you  want  to  stop  the  engine  in  an  emergency  while  driving  th e  vehicle,
press and hold the engine switch for more than 2 seconds, or pr ess it briefly
3 times or more in succession. ( P. 475)
However,  do  not  touch  the  engine  switch  while  driving  except  in  an  emer-
gency. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause loss of steering or
braking  control,  however,  power  assist  to  the  steering  will  be  lost. This  will
make it more difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull ov er and stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
■ When parking (except for New Caledonia)
Exhaust  gases  include  harmful  carbon  monoxide  (CO),  which  is  colorless
and odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure  to  do  so  may  cause  exhaust  gases  to  enter  the  vehicle  a nd  may
lead to an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to  death or a
serious health hazard.
● If  the  vehicle  is  in  a  poorly  ventilated  area  or  a  closed  area,  such  as  a
garage, stop the engine.
● Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long tim e. If such a
situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space  and ensure
that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
● Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up,  or where it
is  snowing.  If  snowbanks  build  up  around  the  vehicle  while  the  engine  is
running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.

Driving
■If the “S” indicator does not come on even after shifting the s hift lever to
S
This  may  indicate  a malfunction  in the  automatic transmission s ystem.  Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer, immediately. 
(In  this  situation,  the  transmission  will  operate  in  the  same  m anner  as  when
the shift lever is in D.)
■ Downshifting restrictions  warning buzzer (S mode)
To  help  ensure  safety  and  driving  performance,  downshifting  ope ration  may
sometimes  be  restricted.  In  some  circumstances,  downshifting  ma y  not  be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (A buzzer will  sound twice.)
■ Transmission protection function
If  the  tires  spin  continually  when  the  vehicle  becomes  stuck  in  mud,  dirt  or
snow,  the  automatic  transmission  temperature  may  become  too  high  and
cause damage.
To  avoid  the  damaging  the  automatic  transmission,  the  system  may  tempo-
rarily lock the gear in 1st.
If  the  automatic  transmission  temperature  falls,  the  gear  locki ng  is  canceled
and returns the automatic transmission to the normal operation.
WARNING
■ When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift gears suddenly.
Sudden  changes  in  engine  braking  may  cause  the  vehicle  to  spin  or  skid,
resulting in an accident.
■ To prevent an accident when releasing the shift lock
Before pressing the shift lock override button, make sure to se t the parking
brake and depress the brake pedal. 
If the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed instead of t he brake pedal
when  the  shift  lock  override  button  is  pressed  and  the  shift  le ver  is  shifted
out  of  P,  the  vehicle  may  suddenly  start,  possibly  leading  to  a n  accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
