Driving
2Set the parking brake.
( P.156)
Check that the park ing brake indi-
cator is illuminated.
3 Shift the shift lever to N.
( P.153)
If parking on a hill, shift the shift
lever to 1 or R and block the wheels
as needed.
4Press the engine switch to
stop the engine.
5 Slowly release the brake
pedal.
6 Lock the door, making sure
that you have the key on your
person.
■Starting off on a steep
uphill
Automatic transmission
1 Make sure that the parking
brake is set and shift the shift
lever to D.
2 Gently depress the accelera-
tor pedal.
3 Release the parking brake.
Manual transmission
1 Make sure that the parking
brake is set and shift the shift
lever to 1.
2 Lightly depress the accelera-
tor pedal at the same time as
gradually releasing the clutch
pedal.
3 Release the parking brake.
■When starting off on an uphill
The hill-start assis t control will acti- vate. (
P.258)
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully whe n it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced,
the windows may become
fogged-up, and the road will be
slippery.
●Drive carefully whe n it starts to
rain, because the road surface will
be especially slippery.
●Refrain from hig h speeds when
driving on an expressway in the
rain, because there may be a
layer of water between the tires
and the road surface, preventing
the steering and brakes from
operating properly.
■Engine speed while driving
(vehicles with an automatic
transmission)
In the following conditions, the
engine speed may become high
while driving. This is due to auto-
matic up-shifting control or
down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not
indicate sudden acceleration.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving
uphill or downhill
●When the accele rator pedal is
released
●When driving on curves
●When the brake p edal is firmly
depressed
■Restraining the engine output
(Brake Override System)
When the accelerator and brake
pedals are depressed at the same
time, the engine output may be
restrained.
■New vehicle break-in driving
(the first 1000 miles [1600 km])
The performance a nd long life of
your vehicle are dependent on how
you handle and care for your vehicle
while it is new. Follow these instruc-
tions during the first 1000 miles
(1600 km):
Page 134 of 449

1344-1. Before driving
●Do not race the engine. And do
not allow the engine speed to
exceed 4000 rpm except in an
emergency.
●Do not drive at one constant
engine or vehicle speed for a long
time, either fast or slow.
●Avoid starting suddenly and rapid
acceleration, except in an emer-
gency.
●Avoid hard braking, except in an
emergency.
The same break-in procedures
should be applied to an over-
hauled engine, newly mounted
engine or when brake pads or
brake linings are replaced with
new ones.
■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
whenever the parking brake shoes
and/or drum are replaced. Have
your Toyota dealer perform the bed-
ding down operation.
■After the engine starts
For a short time after the engine is
started, in order to ensure emissions
performance, intake and exhaust
noise and vibration may increase,
but this does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
■Operating your vehicle in a for-
eign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle
registration laws and confirm the
availability of the correct fuel.
( P.381)
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in
death or serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle
(vehicles with an automatic
transmission)
●Always keep your foot on the
brake pedal while stopped with
the engine running. This pre-
vents the vehicle from creeping.
●Firmly depress the brake pedal
because engine speed may
increase immediately after start-
ing the engine, when the air
conditioning system is operat-
ing, when turning the steering
wheel, etc., thereby causing
creeping to become stronger.
Apply the parkin g brake as nec-
essary.
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamil-
iar with the location of the brake
and accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the
brake pedal will result in sudden
acceleration that may lead to an
accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a
difficulty in operating the pedals.
Make sure to operate the pedals
properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when mov-
ing the vehicle only slightly. This
allows you to depress the brake
and accelerator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the
brake pedal using your left foot
may delay response in an emer-
gency, resulting in an accident.
