Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and per-
formance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in
response to various driving sit-
uations. Be aware, however,
that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be
relied upon too heavily when
operating the vehicle.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
If both the TRC and VSC systems are
turned off, automatic re-enabling will not occur when vehicle speed increases.
■Operating conditions of Active Cor-
nering Assist
The system operates when the following occurs.
●TRC/VSC can operate
●The driver is attempting to accelerate while turning
●The system detects that the vehicle is drifting to the outer side
●The brake pedal is released
■Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is
reduced to prevent the system from overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period
of time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain from excessive steering input or
stop the vehicle and turn the engine off. The EPS system should return to nor-mal within 10 minutes.
■Operating conditions of emergency
brake signal
When the following conditions are met, the emergency brake signal will oper-
ates:
●The emergency flashers are off
●Actual vehicle speed is over 55 km/h (35 mph)
●The system judges from the vehicle deceleration that it is a sudden brak-
ing operation.
■Automatic system cancelation of emergency brake signal
The emergency brake signal will be can-
celed in any of the following situations:
●The emergency flashers are turned
on.
●The system judges from the vehicle
deceleration that is not a sudden brak- ing operation.
■Secondary Collision Brake operat-
ing conditions
The system operates when the SRS air- bag sensor detects a collision while the
vehicle is in motion. However, the system does not operate when components are damaged.
■Secondary Collision Brake auto-
matic cancelation
The system is automatically canceled in any of the following situations.
●The vehicle speed drops to approxi-mately 0 km/h (0 mph)
●A certain amount of time elapses during operation
●The accelerator pedal is depressed a large amount
WARNING
■The ABS does not operate effec-tively when
●The limits of tire gripping perfor-
mance have been exceeded (such as excessively worn tires on a snow covered road).
●The vehicle hydroplanes while driv-ing at high speed on wet or slick
roads.
■Stopping distance when the ABS
is operating may exceed that of normal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten
the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially
in the following situations:
●When driving on dirt, gravel or
snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps in the road
●When driving over roads with pot-holes or uneven surfaces

Driving
WARNING
■TRC/VSC may not operate effec- tively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-pery road surfaces, even if the
TRC/VSC system is operating. Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions where stability and power may be
lost.
■Active Cornering Assist does not
operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on Active Corner- ing Assist. Active Cornering Assist
may not operate effectively when accelerating down slopes or driving on slippery road surfaces.
●When Active Cornering Assist fre-quently operates, Active Cornering
Assist may temporarily stop operat- ing to ensure proper operation of the brakes, TRC and VSC.
■Hill-start assist control does not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may not operate effectively on steep
inclines and roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start
assist control is not intended to hold the vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not
attempt to use hill-start assist con- trol to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
■When the TRC/VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may cause an accident. Exercise particular
care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a
speed appropriate to the road condi- tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driv-
ing force, do not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern
and total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure level. The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspen-sion
Using tires with any kind of problem
or modifying the suspension will affect the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.
■Secondary Collision Brake
Do not rely solely upon the Secondary
Collision Brake. This system is designed to help reduce the possibil-ity of further damage due to a second-
ary collision, however, that effect changes according to various condi-tions. Overly relying on the system
may result in death or serious injury.

When trouble arises
WARNING
●Parts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful when
handling the repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part around the connecting
area between the bottle and com- pressor. It will be extremely hot.
●Do not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than the one indicated. If the sticker
is attached to an area where an SRS airbag is located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may
prevent the SRS airbag from oper- ating properly.
●To avoid risk of burst or severe leakage, do not drop or damage the bottle. Visually inspect the bottle
before use. Do not use a bottle with shock, crack, scratch, leakage or any other damage. In such case,
immediately replace.
■Driving to spread the liquid seal-
ant evenly
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or serious injury.
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when
turning and cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive straight
or you feel a pull through the steer- ing wheel, stop the vehicle and check the following.
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3
kgf/cm2 or bar, 19 psi) or less, the tire may be severely damaged.
NOTICE
■When performing an emergency repair
●A tire should only be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit if the damage is caused by a
sharp object such as nail or screw passing through the tire tread.Do not remove the sharp object
from the tire. Removing the object may widen the opening and disen-able emergency repair with the
repair kit.
●The repair kit is not waterproof.
Make sure that the repair kit is not exposed to water, such as when it is being used in the rain.
●Do not put the repair kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at
the side of the road. If the repair kit vacuums up dust etc., a malfunc-tion may occur.
●Do not turn the bottle upside down when using it, as doing so may
cause damage to the compressor.
■Precautions for the emergency
tire puncture repair kit
●The repair kit power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use.
Do not connect the repair kit to any other source.
●If fuel splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deteriorate. Take care not to allow fuel to contact it.
●Place the repair kit in a storage to prevent it from being exposed to dirt
or water.
●Store the repair kit in the luggage
compartment out of reach of chil- dren.
●Do not disassemble or modify the repair kit. Do not subject parts such as the air pressure indicator to
impacts. This may cause a malfunc- tion.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
■Starting the engine when the bat- tery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by push- starting.
■To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is stopped.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-ning at a low speed for an extended
period, such as in heavy traffic.
■When the battery is removed or dis- charged
●Information stored in the ECU is cleared. When the battery is depleted, have the vehicle inspected at any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Some systems may require initializa-tion. ( P.361)
■When removing the battery termi-
nals
When the battery terminals are removed, the information stored in the
ECU is cleared. Before removing the battery terminals, contact any autho-rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will
discharge gradually even when the vehi- cle is not in use, due to natural dis-charge and the draining effects of
certain electrical appliances. If the vehi- cle is left for a long time, the battery may discharge, and the engine may be
unable to start. (The battery recharges automatically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing the battery
●In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
entry & start system when the battery is discharged. Use the wireless remote control or the mechanical key
to lock or unlock the doors.
●The engine may not start on the first attempt after the battery has
recharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a mal-function.
●The engine switch mode is memo-rized by the vehicle. When the battery
is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the bat-tery was discharged. Before discon-
necting the battery, turn the engine switch off.If you are unsure what mode the
engine switch was in before the bat- tery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the battery.
●The Stop & Start system may not automatically stop the engine for up to
an hour.
■When replacing the battery
●Use a genuine battery specifically
designed for use with the Stop & Start system or a battery with equivalent specifications to a genuine battery. If
an unsupported battery is used, Stop & Start system functions may be restricted to protect the battery. Also,
battery performance may decrease and the engine may not be able to restart. Contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for details.
●Use a battery that conforms to Euro-pean regulations.
●Use a battery that the case size is same as the previous one, 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent or
greater, and performance rating (CCA) is equivalent or greater. Check the label on top of the battery for the
battery size and specifications (ex. LN2, 60Ah, 584A).• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot
be properly secured. • If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the bat- tery may discharge and the engine may not be able to start.

WARNING
■When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the steam has subsided. The
engine compartment may be very hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (espe-cially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the fan and belts. Failure
to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be caught, resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reservoir caps while the engine and radiator
are hot. High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine has cooled down sufficiently. Adding
cool coolant to a hot engine too quickly can cause damage to the engine.
■To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant
with foreign matter (such as sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
