Driving
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.

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-

3106-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■Checking battery fluid
Check that the level is between 
the “UPPER LEVEL” and 
“LOWER LEVEL” lines.
“UPPER LEVEL” line
“LOWER LEVEL” line
If the fluid level is at or below the 
“LOWER LEVEL” line, add distilled 
water.
■Adding distilled water
1 Remove the vent plug.
2 Add distilled water.
If the “UPPER LEVEL ” line cannot 
be seen, check the fluid level by 
looking directly at the cell.
3 Put the vent plug back on 
and close it securely.
■Before recharging
When recharging, t he battery pro-
duces hydrogen ga s which is flam-
mable and explosive. Therefore,  observe the following before 
recharging:
●If recharging with the battery 
installed on the vehicle, be sure to 
disconnect the ground cable.
●Make sure the power switch on 
the charger is off when connecting 
and disconnecting the charger 
cables to the battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting 
the battery
The engine may not start. Follow the 
procedure below to initialize the sys-
tem.
1 Shift the shift lever to P (auto-
matic transmission) or depress 
the brake pedal  with the shift 
lever in N (manual transmission).
2 Open and close either door.
3 Restart the engine.
●Unlocking the doors using the 
smart key system may not be pos-
sible immediately  after reconnect-
ing the battery. If this happens, 
use the wireless remote control or 
the mechanical key to lock/unlock 
the doors.
●Start the engine with the engine 
switch in ACC. T he engine may 
not start with th e engine switch 
turned off. However, the engine 
will operate normally from the sec-
ond attempt.
●The engine switch mode is 
recorded by the vehicle. If the bat-
tery is disconnected and recon-
nected, the vehi cle will return the 
engine switch mode to the status it 
was in before the battery was dis-
connected. Make sure to turn off 
the engine before disconnecting 
the battery. Take extra care when 
connecting the battery if the 
engine switch mode prior to the 
battery being disconnected is 
unknown.
If the system will not start even after 
multiple attempts, contact your Toy-
ota dealer.
