1-1. For safe use
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the air-bag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of inflation, placing yourself 250
mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag provides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured
from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10 in.) away
now, you can change your driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the ped-als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim-ply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm,
non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-bag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec- ommended above, while still main-
taining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls.
●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable
force, and can cause death or seri- ous injury especially if the front pas-senger is very close to the airbag.
The front passenger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the
front passenger sits upright.
●Improperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying air-bag. An infant or child who is too
small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota strongly
recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly
restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. ( P. 4 9 )

1Fold
2 Extend
Putting the outside rear view mirror
folding switch in the neutral position
sets the mirrors to automatic mode.
Automatic mode allows the folding
or extending of the mirrors to be
linked to locking/unlocking of the
doors.
■Using automatic mode in cold
weather
When automatic mode is used in cold weather, the door mirror could freeze up
and automatic stowing and return may not be possible. In this event, after removing any ice and snow from the
door mirror, operate the mirror using manual mode or move it by hand.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized.
(Customizable features: P.566)
When the mirror select switch is in
the “L” or “R” position, the outside
rear view mirrors will automatically
angle downwards when the vehicle
is reversing in order to give a better
view of the ground.
To disable this function, move the
mirror select switch to the neutral
position (between “L” or “R”)
■Adjusting the mirror angle
when the vehicle is reversing
With the shift position in R, adjust
the mirror angle at a desired posi-
tion.
The adjusted angle will be memo-
rized and the mirror will automati-
cally tilt to the memorized angle
whenever the shift position is
shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position
of the mirror is linked to the normal
position (angle adjusted with the shift
position in other than R). Therefore, if
the normal position is changed after
adjustment, the tilt position will also
change.
When the normal position is changed,
readjust the angle in reversing.

■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:
●Short in electrical components
●Traction battery damage caused by
water immersion
In the event that you drive on a
flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be sure to have any autho-rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer check the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in quantity and quality of transmission fluid, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the bearings and suspension joints (where possi-
ble), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.
●Components connected to the trac-tion battery.
If the shift control system is damaged
by flooding, it may not be possible to
shift the shift position to P, or from P
to other positions. In this case, con-
tact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
■When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake, and
shift the shift position to P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle may accelerate sud-
denly if the accelerator pedal is acci- dentally depressed.
■When involved in a minor acci-dent
Damage to the traction battery or bat-
tery peripheral components could cause malfunctions. Even if it is a minor accident, have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

5-1. Before driving
Driving
is especially true when driving on
wet or slippery road surfaces.
■Sudden acceleration/steering
input/cornering
Executing sharp turns when towing
may result in the trailer colliding
with your vehicle. Decelerate well in
advance when approaching turns
and take them slowly and carefully
to avoid sudden braking.
■Important points regarding
turning
The wheels of the trailer will travel
closer to the inside of the curve
than the wheels of the vehicle. To
make allowance for this, take the
turns wider than you would nor-
mally do.
■Important points regarding
stability
Vehicle movement resulting from
uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The
vehicle may also be rocked by
passing buses or large trucks. Fre-
quently check behind when moving
alongside such vehicles. As soon
as such vehicle movement occurs,
immediately start to decelerate
smoothly by slowly applying the
brakes. Always steer the vehicle
straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles
Consider the total combined length
of your vehicle and trailer and
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance is sufficient before execut-
ing lane changes.
■If the EV system overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long,
steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30°C (85°F) may result
in the EV system overheating. If the
EV system coolant temperature
gauge indicates that the EV system
is overheating, turn the air condi-
tioning off immediately, leave the
road and stop the vehicle in a safe
place. ( P.549)
■When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under
the wheels of both the vehicle and
trailer. Firmly set the parking brake
and shift the shift position to P.
WARNING
F o l l o w a l l t h e i n s t r u c t i o n s d e s c r i b e d i n this section. Failure to do so could cause an accident resulting in death
or serious injury.
■Trailer towing precautions
When towing, make sure that none of the weight limits are exceeded. ( P.554)
■Vehicle speed in towing
Observe the legal maximum speeds
for trailer towing.
■Before descending hills or long
declines
Reduce speed and downshift. How- ever, never downshift suddenly while
descending steep or long downhill grades.
