Driving
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when
the brakes are applied suddenly, or
if the brakes are applied while driv-
ing on a slippery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system
detects a panic stop situation
■VSC (Vehicle St ability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding
when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces.
■VSC+ (Vehicle Stability Con-
trol+)
Provides cooperative control of the
ABS, TRC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stabil-
ity when swerving on slippery road
surfaces by controlling steering per-
formance.
■Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer
sway by selectively applying brake
pressure for individual wheels and
reducing driving torque when trailer
sway is detected.
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads
■Active Cornering Assist (ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle from
drifting to the outer side by perform-
ing inner wheel brake control when
attempting to acce lerate while turn-
ing
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Po wer Steering)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort needed
to turn the steering wheel.
■Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers auto-
matically flash to alert the vehicle
behind.
■Secondary Collision Brake (if
equipped)
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collisi on and the system
operates, the brakes and brake
lights are automatically controlled
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and per-
formance, the following sys-
tems operate au tomatically 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.
Summary of the driving
assist systems

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
●The vehicle is stopped
●The accelerator pedal is not
depressed
●The parking brake is not engaged
■Automatic system cancelation of
hill-start assist control
The hill-start assist control will turn off in any of the following situations:
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: The shift lever is shifted to P or N.
●Vehicles with a manual transmission: The shift lever is shifted to R when
starting off forward on an upward
incline, or the shift lever is shifted to other than R when starting off back-
ward on an upward incline.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed
●The parking brake is engaged
●2 seconds at maximum elapsed after
the brake pedal is released
■Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC, Trailer
Sway Control, TRC and hill-start
assist control systems
●A sound may be heard from the
engine compartment when the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly, when
the engine is started or just after the
vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction
has occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions may
occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the
vehicle body and steering. • A motor sound may be heard also
after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly
after the ABS is activated. • The brake pedal may move down
slightly after the ABS is activated.
■Active Cornering Assist operation
sounds and vibrations
When the Active Cornering Assist is
operated, operation sounds and vibra-
tions may be generated from the brake
system, but this is not a malfunction.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a
motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunc- tion.
■Automatic reactivation of TRC,
Trailer Sway Control and VSC sys-
tems
After turning the TRC, Trailer Sway Con-
trol and VSC systems off, the systems
will be automatically re-enabled in the following situations:
●When the engine switch is turned off
●If only the TRC system is turned off,
the TRC will turn on when vehicle speed increases.
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 effectiv eness 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.

WA R N I N G
●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/Trailer Sway
Control 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/Trailer Sway
Control 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/Trailer Sway Control sys- tems off unless necessary.
Trailer Sway Control is part of the
VSC system and will not operate if VSC is turned off or experiences a
malfunction.
■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 Trailer Sway Control
and VSC systems w ill 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.
■Trailer Sway Control precaution
The Trailer Sway Control system is not able to reduce trailer sway in all
situations. Depending on many fac-
tors such as the conditions of the vehicle, trailer, road surface and driv-
ing environment, the Trailer Sway
Control system may not be effective. Refer to your trailer owner's manual
for information on how to tow your
trailer properly.
■If trailer sway occurs
Observe the following precautions. Failing to do so may cause death or
serious injury.
●Firmly grip the steering wheel.
Steer straight ahead. Do not try to
control trailer sway by turning the
steering wheel.
●Begin releasing the accelerator
pedal immediately but very gradu- ally to reduce speed.
Do not increase speed. Do not
apply vehicle brakes.

3644-6. Driving tips
Perform the following according to
the driving conditions:
 Do not try to forcibly open a win-
dow or move a wiper that is fro-
zen. Pour warm water over the
frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe
away the water immediately to
prevent it from freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of
the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accu-
mulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
 Check for and remove any
excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the exte-
rior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis,
around the tires or on the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud from
the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep
a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a
reduced speed suitable to road
conditions.
 Park the vehicle and shift the
shift lever to P (Multidrive), or 1
or R (manual transmission) with-
out setting the parking brake.
The parking brake may freeze
up, preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is parked
without setting the parking brake,
make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be danger-
ous because it may cause the
vehicle to move unexpectedly,
possibly leading to an accident.
 Vehicles with a Multidrive: If the
vehicle is parked without setting
the parking brake, confirm that
the shift lever cannot be moved
out of P*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is
attempted to be shifted from P to any
other position without depressing the
brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a prob-
lem with the shift lock system. Have
the vehicle inspected by any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota author-
ized repairer, or any reliable repairer
or legitimate tire retailers immedi-
ately.
Use the correct tire chain size when
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
(vehicles with a tire pressure
warning system)
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.

4627-1. Maintenance and care
NOTICE
• If the vehicle becomes heavily
soiled with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gas-
oline are spilled on the paint sur-
face
●If the paint is chipped or scratched,
have it repaired immediately.
●To prevent the wheels from corrod-
ing, remove any dirt and store in a
place with low humidity when stor- ing the wheels.
■Cleaning the exterior lights
●Wash carefully. Do not use organic
substances or scrub with a hard
brush. This may damage the surfaces of
the lights.
●Do not apply wax to the surfaces of
the lights.
Wax may cause damage to the lenses.
■To prevent damage to the wind-shield wiper arms
When lifting the wiper arms away
from the windshield, pull the driver side wiper arm upward first, and
repeat for the passenger side. When
returning the wipers to their original position, do so from the passenger
side first.
■When using an automatic car
wash (vehicles with rain-sensing
windshield wipers)
Set the wiper switch to the off posi-
tion. If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”,
the wipers may operate and the wiper blades may be damaged.
■When using a high pressure car wash
●Vehicles with rear view monitor sys-
tem: When washing the vehicle, do not spray the camera or its sur-
rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Shock applied from high pressure water may
cause the device to not operate
normally.
●Do not bring the nozzle tip close to
boots (rubber or resin manufac- tured cover), connectors or the fol-
lowing parts. The parts may be
damaged if they come into contact with high-pressure water.
• Traction related parts
• Steering parts
• Suspension parts
•Brake parts
●Keep the cleaning nozzle at least
30 cm (11.9 in.) away from the vehi-
cles body. Otherwise resin section, such as moldings and bumpers,
may be deformed and damaged.
Also, do not continuously hold the nozzle in the same place.
●Do not spray the lower part of the windshield continuously. If water
enters the air c onditioning system
intake located near the lower part of the windshield, the air conditioning
system may not operate correctly.

Maintenance and care
WA R N I N G
●Do not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the engine compartment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or
expose an open flame to fuel or the battery. Fuel and battery fumes are
flammable.
●Be extremely cautious when work- ing on the battery. It contains poi-
sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
●Take care because brake fluid can
harm your hands or eyes and dam-
age painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush
the affected area with clean water
immediately. If you still experience discomfort,
consult a doctor.
■When working near the electric
cooling fans or radiator grille
Be sure the engine switch is OFF. With the engine switch in ON, the
electric cooling fans may automati-
cally start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature
is high. (P.476)
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying
or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner fil-
ter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive
engine wear due to dirt in the air.
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to
go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refill-
ing, it may indicate a serious problem.
