WARNING
■If a safety system warning light
does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not
come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are not available to help protect you in
an accident, which could result in death or serious injury. Have the vehi-cle inspected by any authorized Toy-
ota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately if this occurs.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
The engine may be overheating if the high engine coolant temperature warning light flashes or turns on. In
this case, immediately stop the vehi- cle in a safe place, and check the
engine after it has cooled completely. ( P.339)

( 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

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
122
Owner's Manual_Europe_M99V08_en
4-1. Before driving
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.

Owner's Manual_Europe_M99V08_en
4-1. Before driving
When the following unusual opera-
tion is performed with the accelera-
tor pedal depressed, the engine
output may be restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted to
R*.
• When the shift lever is shifted
from P or R to forward drive shift
position such as D*.
When the system operates, a mes-
sage appears on the multi-informa-
tion display. Read the message and
follow the instruction.
*: Depending on the situation, the shift
position may not be changed.
■Drive-Start Control (DSC)
When the TRC is turned off ( P.212),
sudden start restraint control also does not operate. If your vehicle have trouble escaping from the mud or fresh snow
due to sudden start restraint control operation, deactivate TRC ( P.212) so that the vehicle may become able to
escape from the mud or fresh snow.
NOTICE
■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 damaging the wheels, under-side of the vehicle, etc.
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the
following situations. Hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually 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 abnormally.
Information on what to do in case of a flat tire ( P.313, 324)
■When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has
flooded after heavy rain, etc. Doing so may cause the following serious dam-age 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
becomes flooded or stuck in mud or sand, be sure to have any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer check the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in the quantity and quality of the engine oil, transmission fluid, clutch fluid, differential oil, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the bearings and suspension joints (where possi-
ble), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.
