■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced, the 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.
■Engine speed while driving (vehi-
cles with a Multidrive)
In the following conditions, the engine
speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting con-
trol or down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not indi-
cate sudden acceleration.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving
uphill or downhill
●When the accelerator pedal is
released
●When the brake pedal is depressed
while power mode is selected
■Restraining the engine output
(Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake ped-
als are depressed at the same time,
the engine output may be restrained.
●A warning message is displayed on
the multi-information display while the
system is operating.
■Restraining sudden start (Drive-
Start Control [vehicles with a Multi-
drive])
●When the following unusual operation
is performed, the engine output may
be restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted from R
to D, D to R, N to R, P to D, or P to R
(D includes M) with the accelerator
pedal depressed, a warning message
appears on the multi-information dis-
play. If a warning message is shown
on the multi-information display, read
the message and follow the instruc-
tion.

Driving
WARNING
■When braking
●When the brakes are wet, drive
more cautiously. Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may
cause one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking brake may
not securely hold the vehicle.
●If the brake booster device does not
operate, do not follow other vehi- cles closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking.
In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual.
Also, the braking distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.
●Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted brakes.
●The brake system consists of 2 indi-vidual hydraulic systems; if one of
the systems fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed more
firmly than usual and the braking distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.
■If the vehicle becomes stuck
Do not spin the wheels excessively
when a driven wheel is up in the air, or the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, etc. This may damage the driveline
components or propel the vehicle for- ward or backward, causing an acci-dent.
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle (vehi-cles with a Multidrive)
●Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time 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 driving the vehicle (vehi-cles with a manual transmission)
●Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during driving, as this may restrain
the engine output.
●Do not shift gears unless the clutch
pedal is fully depressed. After shift- ing, do not release the clutch pedal abruptly. Doing so may damage the
clutch, transmission and gears.
●Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exces- sive premature wear or damage to the clutch, eventually making it diffi-
cult to accelerate and start off from a stop. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal or depress it any time other than when shifting.
Doing so may cause clutch trouble.
• Do not use any gear other than the
1st gear when starting off and mov- ing forward.Doing so may damage the clutch.

4-1. Before driving
NOTICE
• Do not use the clutch pedal to adjust vehicle speed. When stop-
ping the vehicle with the shift lever in a position other then N, make sure to fully depress the clutch
pedal and stop the vehicle using the brake.Doing so may damage the clutch.
• When stopping the vehicle with the shift lever in a position other than N,
make sure to fully depress the clutch pedal and stop the vehicle using the brakes.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R with-out the vehicle completely stopped.
Doing so may damage the clutch, transmission and gears.
■When parking the vehicle (vehi-cles with a Multidrive)
Always set the parking brake and shift
the shift lever to P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if
the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there
for an extended period of time. Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to
avoid damaging the wheels, under- side 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 vehicle.
●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.379, 389)
■When encountering flooded
roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain, etc. Doing so
may cause the following serious dam- age 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 becomes flooded or stuck in mud or
sand, be sure to have any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer check
the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in the quantity and quality of the engine oil, transmission fluid,
clutch fluid, differential oil, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the bearings
and suspension joints (where possi- ble), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.

not to off.
■Auto power off function
Multidrive: If the vehicle is left in ACC or ON (the engine is not running) for more than 20 minutes with the shift lever in P,
the engine switch will automatically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely prevent battery discharge. Do

WARNING
■Stopping the engine in an emer- gency
●If you want to stop the engine in an emergency while driving the vehi-cle, press and hold the engine
switch for more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. ( →P.360)
However, do not touch the engine switch while driving except in an emergency. Turning the engine off
while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will
be lost. This will make it more diffi- cult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
●If the engine switch is operated
while the vehicle is running, a warn- ing message will be shown on the multi-information display and a
buzzer sounds.
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: To restart
the engine after performing an emergency shutdown, shift the shift lever to N and then press the
engine switch.
●Vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion: To restart the engine after per- forming an emergency shutdown, depress the clutch pedal and then
press the engine switch.

■Downshifting restriction warning
buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving perfor- mance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some cir- cumstances, downshifting may not be possible even when the shift lever is
operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
■If the 10-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode indicator does not come on even after shifting the
shift lever to M
This may indicate a malfunction in the Multidrive system. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same manner as when the shift lever is in D.)
*: If equipped
■Shifting the shift lever

2 Shift the shift lever to the
desired gear.
Make sure to only shift gears sequen- tially.
3 Gradually release the clutch
pedal.
It is difficult to shift in R, shift the lever
to N, release the clutch pedal momen-
tarily, and then try again.
