1303-5. Opening, closing the windows and moon roof
Press the switch down to lock
the passenger window glasses.
Use this switch to prevent children
from accidentally opening or clos-
ing a passenger window.
WARNING
■Closing the windows
●The driver is responsible for all
the power window operations,
including the operation for the
passengers. In or der to prevent
accidental operation, especially
by a child, do n ot let a child
operate the power windows. It is
possible for children and other
passengers to have body parts
caught in the power window.
Also, when riding with a child, it
is recommended to use the win-
dow lock switch. ( P.130)
●Check to make sure that all pas-
sengers do not have any part of
their body in a position where it
could be caught when a window
is being operated.
●When exiting the vehicle, turn
the engine switch off, carry the
key and exit the vehicle along
with the child. There may be
accidental operation, due to
mischief, etc., that may possibly
lead to an accident.
■Jam protection function
●Never use any part of your body
to intentionally a ctivate the jam
protection function.
●The jam protection function may
not work if something gets
jammed just before the window
is fully closed. Be careful not to
get any part of your body
jammed in the window.
■Catch protection function
●Never use any part of your body
or clothing to intentionally acti-
vate the catch protection func-
tion.
●The catch protection function
may not work if something gets
caught just before the window is
fully opened. Be careful not to
get any part of your body or
clothing caught in the window.

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):
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.

• When the lights of vehicles ahead are not on
●The high beams may be turned off
if a vehicle ahead that is using fog
lights without its headlights turned
on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic
signals, and illumi nated billboards
or signs and other reflective
objects may cause the high
beams to change to the low

●The following factors may affect
the amount of time taken for the
high beams to turn on or off:
• The brightness of the headlights,
fog lights, and ta il lights of vehi-
cles ahead
• The movement and direction of
vehicles ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has operational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradi-
ent, curve, condi tion of the road
surface, etc.)
• The number of passengers and
amount of luggage in the vehicle
• When there is a lag in response due to the limitat ions of the detec-
tion range of the stereo camera
●The high beams may turn on or off
unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar vehicles may
not be detected.
●In the following situations the sys-
tem may not be abl e to correctly
detect the surrounding brightness
level. This may cause the low
beams to remain on or the high
beams to flash or dazzle pedestri-
ans or vehicles ahead. In such a
case, it is necess ary to manually
switch between the high and low
beams.
• When driving in inclement weather (heavy rain, snow, fog, sand-
storms, etc.)
• When the windshi eld is obscured

• When the windshield is cracked or damaged
• When the stereo camera is deformed or dirty
• When the temperature of the ste-
reo camera is extremely high
• When the surrounding brightness level is equal to that of headlights,
tail lights or fog lights
• When headlights or tail lights of vehicles ahead are turned off,
dirty, changing color, or not aimed
properly
• When the vehicle is hit by water,
snow, dust, etc. from a preceding
vehicle
• When driving through an area of
intermittently changing brightness

EyeSight is a driving sup-
port system that uses a
range of functions to assist
the driver in making deci-
sions in order to provide for
more safe and comfortable
driving and to reduce driver
fatigue. Making use of
images created by the ste-
reo camera, EyeSight
detects vehicles, obstacles,
traffic lanes and other items
ahead.
WARNING
Drivers are responsible for driving
safely. Always comply with all traf-
fic rules and regulations regard-
less of the fact that your vehicle is
equipped with EyeSight. Always
maintain a safe following dis-
tance between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front of you, pay
attention to your surroundings
and driving condi tions, and take
necessary actions in order to
maintain a safe following dis-
tance.
Never attempt to d rive relying on
EyeSight alone.
EyeSight is intended to assist the
driver in making decisions in order
to reduce the risk of accidents or
damage and lessen the burden on
the driver.
When an EyeSight warning is
activated, pay attention to what is
in front of you and to your sur-
roundings, and take necessary
actions. This system is not
designed to support driving in
poor visibility or in extreme
weather conditions, or to protect
against careless driving when the
driver is not paying complete
attention to the road ahead. It also
cannot prevent c ollisions from
occurring in all driving conditions.

NOTICE
●The stereo camera monitors
and detects smears or blurs on
the front of the camera. How-
ever, detection is not 100%
accurate.
Under certain conditions, the
function may fail to detect
smears or blurs on the front of
the stereo camera accurately. In
addition, this function may not
detect that there is snow or ice
on the windshield close to the
stereo camera. In such condi-
tions, be sure to keep the wind-
shield clean at all times
(indicated by ). Otherwise
the system may not operate cor-
rectly. When this function
detects that the front of the ste-
reo camera is smeared or
blurred, no EyeSight functions
can be activated except for
Conventional Cruise Control.
●The stereo camera lenses are
precision components. Always
observe the following precau-
tions especially when handling
them.
• Never touch the stereo camera lenses, and do not attempt to
wipe or clean the lenses. Doing
so could damage or soil the
lens, and lead to improper sys-
tem performance. If you ever
touch a lens for any reason, be
sure to contact your Toyota
dealer.
• When cleaning the windshield, cover the front of the camera
casing with paper that does not
collect dust, such as copy
paper. Affix the paper to prevent
glass cleaner from getting on
the camera lenses. At this point,
make sure that the tape’s adhe-
sive surface does not come in
contact with the windshield or
the lens. Be sure to remove the
paper after cleaning.
• When having the inside of wind- shield cleaned at a service sta-
tion, etc., be sure to request that
the attendant covers the cam-
era covers before washing the
vehicle.
• Do not subject the stereo cam- era to a strong impact.
• Do not remove or disassemble the stereo camera.
• Do not change the positions where the stereo camera is
installed or mod ify any of the
surrounding structures.
●Do not install an interior rear-
view mirror other than a genuine
Toyota rearview mirror (such as
a wide-type mirror) and the sun
visor. Also, use the rearview
mirror so that it does not
obstruct the stereo camera.
Failure to do so may affect the
stereo camera’s field of view
and could prevent the EyeSight
system from functioning prop-
erly.

If the system then determines that the risk of collision is ext remely high, the
alert changes to a continuous beeping sound and stronger brakin g control
is activated. Despite any evasive action taken by the driver, if the system
subsequently determine s that a collision is unavoidable, brakin g and
engine output are con trolled by the system.
When the vehicle is completely stopped by the automatic braking system, a
short tone “3 intermittent beeps , 1 short beep and 1 long beep” will sound
and braking will be gradually released and the vehicle will sta rt creeping. To
stop the vehicle completely, d epress the brake pedal after the vehicle has
stopped.
●Neither first braking nor secondary braki ng will operate in the following
cases.
• The vehicle speed is approximately 1 mph (1 km/h) or less (Whe n the shift
lever is in the N position and your vehicle speed is approximat ely 2 mph (4
km/h) or less) or 100 mph (160 km/h) or more.
• VSC is active.
●If the system detects the stop lights of the vehicle in front, your vehicle will
start decelerating earlier than if it does not.
●There are some cases where the first braking is applied for a l onger period
of time. One of the reasons for t his is due to a large speed difference with
an obstacle in front. In those cases, stronger or weaker brakin g control
may be activated.
After the Pre-Collision Braki ng System operation, a message
appears and stays on the meter display for a certain period of time.
