WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an accident.
Always drive while checking the safety of the surroundings of the vehi-cle.
Depending on the vehicle and road conditions, weather, etc., the system may not operate.
The detection capabilities of sensors and radars are limited. Always drive while checking the safety of the sur-
roundings of the vehicle.
●The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive carefully, taking care to observe your sur-roundings. The Parking Support
Brake system is designed to pro- vide support to lessen the severity of collisions. However, it may not
operate in some situations.
●The Parking Support Brake system
is not designed to stop the vehicle completely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the vehicle, it
is necessary to depress the brake pedal immediately as brake control will be canceled after approximately
2 seconds.
●It is extremely dangerous to check
the system operations by intention- ally driving the vehicle into the direction of a wall, etc. Never
attempt such actions.
■When to disable the Parking Sup- port Brake
In the following situations, disable the
Parking Support Brake as the system may operate even though there is no possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or
free roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a
boat, truck or other transport vessel
●If the suspension has been modi-
fied or tires of a size other than specified are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a tow-ing eyelet, bumper protector (an
additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●When using automatic car washing devices
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or
is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a
sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly
inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture
repair kit is used
■Precautions for the suspension
Do not modify the suspension of the vehicle. If the height or tilt of the vehi-cle is changed, the sensors may not
be able to detect detectable objects and the system may not operate cor-rectly, possibly leading to an accident.

■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 sys-tem does not operate when components
are damaged.
■Secondary Collision Brake auto- matic cancellation
The system is automatically canceled in
any of the following situations.
●The vehicle speed drops below
approximately 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
■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 condi-tions 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.

WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents. Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit specified for the snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some
wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.Failure to do so may result in the vehi-
cle being unable to be driven safely, and may cause death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being used, or 50 km/h (30 mph),
whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road sur-
faces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
steering, sudden braking and shift- ing operations that cause sudden regenerative braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before enter-ing a curve to ensure that vehicle
control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist).
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of
snow tires from any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer or legitimate
tire retailers. This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the
operation of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
