1 While depressing the clutch
pedal, depress the brake pedal.
2 Set the parking brake. (P.141)
Check that the parking brake indicator
is illuminated.
3 Shift the shift lever to N.
( P.139)
If parking on a hill, shift the shift lever to
1 or R and block the wheels as needed.
4 Turn the engine switch to OFF
to stop the engine.
5 Slowly release the brake pedal.
6 Lock the door, making sure that
you have the key on your per-
son.
■Starting off on a steep uphill

1 Make sure that the parking
brake is set and shift the shift
lever to D.
2 Gently depress the accelerator
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 accelerator
pedal at the same time as grad-
ually releasing the clutch pedal.
3 Release the parking brake.
■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 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.
■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observ- ing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
●For the first 300 km (186 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 1000 km (621 miles): • Do not drive at extremely high
speeds. • Avoid sudden acceleration.• Do not drive continuously in low
gears. • Do not drive at a constant speed for

extended periods.
■Operating your vehicle in a foreign
country
Comply with the relevant vehicle regis- tration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P.345)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle (vehi-
cles with Multidrive)
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and
accelerator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accel- erator pedal instead of the brake pedal will result in sudden accelera-
tion that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist
your body around, leading to a diffi- culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the
vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accelera-tor pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake
pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-ing in an accident.
●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.
●During normal driving, do not turn
off the engine. 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 difficult to steer and brake, so you
should pull over and stop the vehi- cle as soon as it is safe to do so.However, in the event of an emer-
gency, such as if it becomes impos- sible to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 2 9 6
●Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill. Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and
lose effectiveness. ( P.135, 139)
●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 passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body are not outside the vehicle.
■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 brak-
ing due to shifting, or changes in engine speed could cause the vehi-cle to skid.

WARNING
■Toyota Safety Sense
The Toyota Safety Sense is designed
to operate under the assumption that the driver will drive safely, and is designed to help reduce the impact to
the occupants and the vehicle in the case of a collision or assist the driver in normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of rec- ognition accuracy and control perfor-mance that this system can provide,
do not overly rely on this system. The driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicle’s surroundings
and driving safely.

■To avoid malfunction of the radar sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the radar sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or seri-

4-5. Using the driving support systems
pedestrian is high and that there is
sufficient space for the vehicle to be
steered into within its lane, and the
driver has begun evasive maneuver
or steering, emergency steering
assist will assist the steering move-
ments to help enhance the vehicle
stability and for lane departure pre-
vention. During operation, the indi-
cator will illuminate in green.
■Intersection right/left turn
assistance
If the system determines that there
is a high possibility of a collision in
the following situations, it will assist
with Pre-collision warning and, if
necessary Pre-collision braking.
Depending on the configuration of
the intersection, it may not be pos-
sible to support.
When you turn right/left at an
intersection and cross the path of
an oncoming vehicle
When you turn right/left, pedes-
trian is detected in the forward
direction and estimated to enter
your vehicle’s path (bicyclists are
not detected.)
WARNING
■Limitations of the pre-collision system
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your sur-
roundings. Do not use the pre-collision system instead of normal braking opera-
tions under any circumstances. This system will not prevent colli-sions or lessen collision damage or
injury in every situation. Do not overly rely on this system. Failure to do so may lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
