Driving
WARNING
●Do not drive the vehicle over or
stop the vehicle near flammable
materials.
The exhaust system and
exhaust gases can be
extremely hot. These hot parts
may cause a fire if there is any
flammable material nearby.
●Vehicles with a manual trans-
mission: Do not release the
clutch pedal too quickly. Doing
so may propel the vehicle for-
ward, possibly causing an acci-
dent.
●During normal driving, do not
turn off the engine. Turning the
engine off while driving will not
cause loss of steering or brak-
ing control, but the power assist
to these systems will be lost.
This will make it more difficult to
steer and brake, so you should
pull over and stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an
emergency, such as if it
becomes impossible to stop the
vehicle in the normal way:
P. 3 3 8
●Use engine braking (downshift)
to maintain a safe speed when
driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously
may cause the brakes to over-
heat and lose effectiveness.
(
P.149, 153)
●Do not adjust the positions of
the steering wheel, the seat, or
the inside or outside rear view
mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●Always check that all passen-
gers’ arms, heads or other parts
of their body are not outside the
vehicle.
●Do not drive in excess of the
speed limit. Even if the legal
speed limit permits it, do not
drive over 85 mph (140 km/h)
unless your vehicle has
high-speed capability tires. Driv-
ing over 85 mph (140 km/h)
may result in tire failure, loss of
control and possible injury. Be
sure to consult a tire dealer to
determine whether the tires on
your vehicle are high-speed
capability tires or not before
driving at such speeds.
■When driving on slippery
road surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration
and steering may cause tire
slippage and reduce your ability
to control the vehicle.
●Sudden acceleration, engine
braking due to shifting, or
changes in engine speed could
cause the vehicle to skid.
●After driving through a puddle,
lightly depress the brake pedal
to make sure that the brakes
are functioning properly. Wet
brake pads may prevent the
brakes from functioning prop-
erly. If the brakes on only one
side are wet and not functioning
properly, steering control may
be affected.
■When shifting the shift lever
●Vehicles with an automatic
transmission: Do not let the
vehicle roll backward while the
shift lever is in a driving posi-
tion, or roll forw ard while the
shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine
to stall or lead to poor brake and
steering performance, resulting
in an accident or damage to the
vehicle.

NOTICE
• Do not use the clutch pedal to adjust vehicle speed.
Doing so may damage the
clutch.
• Do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopping on an
uphill grade.
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
without the vehicle completely
stopped.
Doing so may damage the
clutch, transmission and gears.
●Do not release the clutch pedal
too quickly. Doing so may dam-
age the transmission.
■When parking the vehicle
(vehicles with an automatic
transmission)
Always set the parking brake and
shift the shift lever to P. Failure to
do so may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehi cle may acceler-
ate 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 damagi ng the wheels,
underside of the vehicle, etc.
●Vehicles with an automatic
transmission: Do not race the
engine for more than 5 seconds
in any position except the N or P
position when the brake is
applied or when chocks are
used in the wheels. This may
cause the transmission fluid to
overheat.
■If you get a flat tire while driv-
ing
A flat or damaged tire may cause
the following situations. Hold the
steering wheel firmly and gradu-
ally 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 abnor-
mally.

■When encountering flooded
roads
Do not drive on a road that has
flooded after h eavy 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 is
flooded, be sure to have your Toy-
ota dealer check the following:

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.
1804-5. EyeSight
WARNING
●Never use Pre-Collision Braking
System and Pre-Collision Brak-
ing Assist to stop your car or
avoid a collision under ordinary
conditions. These functions
cannot prevent collisions under
all conditions. If the driver relies
only on Pre-Collision Braking
System for Brake operation, col-
lisions may occur.
●When a warning is activated,
pay attention to the front of the
vehicle and its surroundings,
and operate the brake pedal
and/or take other actions if nec-
essary.
●The EyeSight Pre-Collision
Braking System is primarily
designed to prevent rear-end
collisions with other vehicles
when possible or to minimize
damage and injuries in the
event of a collision. In addition
to other vehicles, things such as
motorbikes, bicycles and pedes-
trians can also be treated as
obstacles. However, there may
be cases when detection is not
possible depending on a variety
of conditions
*2. For example,
when a vehicle is viewed from
the side, oncoming vehicle,
vehicles approaching in
reverse, small animals or chil-
dren, or walls or doors are not
likely to be detected.
●Pre-Collision Br aking System
will operate at the point when it
determines that a collision can-
not be avoided and is designed
to apply strong braking force
just before a collision. The result
of this varies d epending on a
variety of conditions
*2. Because
of this, performance of this func-
tion will not always be the same.
●When Pre-Collision Braking
System is activated, it will con-
tinue to operate even if the
accelerator pedal is partially
depressed. However, it will be
canceled if the accelerator
pedal is suddenly or fully
depressed.
●If the driver depresses the brake
pedal or turns the steering
wheel, the system may deter-
mine that this constitutes eva-
sive action by the driver, and the
automatic braking control may
not activate in order to allow the
driver full control.
●When the difference in speed
with the obstacle in front is the
following figure
*1or more, it may
not be possible to avoid a colli-
sion. Even if the speed differ-
ence is the following figure
*1 or
less, in cases such as when
another vehicle cuts in front of
you, or in other cases depend-
ing on visibility, the condition of
road surface and other fac-
tors
*2, the function may be
unable to stop the vehicle or
may not activate. Pre-Collision
Braking Assist also may not
activate depending on the con-
ditions
*2 listed below.
*1: For vehicles: approximately 30
mph (50 km/h),
For pedestrians: approxi-
mately 20 mph (35 km/h)
*2: Conditions in which Pre-Colli-sion Braking System cannot
detect obstacles:
• Distance to obstacle in front of you, speed difference, proxim-
ity conditions, lateral displace-
ment (the amount of offset)
• Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)
