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.
■Restraining sudden start  
(Drive-Start Control [vehicles with a 
Multidrive])
●When the following unusual operation 
is performed, the engine output may  be restrained. 
• When the shift lever is shifted from R  
to D, D to R, N to R, P to D*, or P to R*  (D includes M) with the accelerator  
pedal depressed, a warning message 
appears on the multi-information dis- play. If a warning message is shown  
on the multi-information display, read 
the message and follow the instruc- tion. 
• When the accelerator pedal is 
depressed too much while the vehicle  is in reverse.*: Depending on the situation, the shift  
position may not be changed.
●While Drive-Start Control is being acti- vated, your vehicle may have trouble  
escaping from the mud or fresh snow. 
In such case, deactivate TRC  ( P.358) to cancel Drive-Start Control  
so that the vehicle may become able 
to escape from the mud or fresh snow.
■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 800 km (500 miles):
Do not tow a trailer.
●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  
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.568)
■Idling time before engine stop 
To prevent damage to the turbocharger,  
allow the engine to idle immediately 
after high-speed driving or hill climbing.
Driving conditionIdling time
Normal city driving or  
high-speed driving (at the 
highway speed limit or rec-
ommended speed)
Not nec-
essary
Steep hill driving, continu-
ous driving (race track driv-
ing, etc.) or towing a trailer 
or another vehicle
Approxi-
mately 1 
minute
WA R N I N G
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or 
serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle (vehi-
cles with a 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. 

1704-1. Before driving
Check the allowable towing capac- 
ity, GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass), 
MPAC (Maximum Permissible Axle 
Trailer towing
For this model, only vehicles 
with a towing package can tow 
another vehicle. Before towing, 
check the gross combination 
vehicle mass and gross vehi-
cle mass described on the 
information tag (manufac-
turer's label) to see whether or 
not your vehicle can tow 
another vehicle. ( P.171)
If the gross combination vehi- 
cle mass is greater than the 
gross vehicle mass, your vehi-
cle is equipped with a towing 
package and can tow another 
vehicle. On the other hand, if 
the gross combination vehicle 
mass is the same as the gross 
vehicle mass, your vehicle is 
not equipped with a towing 
package and cannot tow 
another vehicle.
Vehicles without a towing 
package
Toyota does not recommend towing  
a trailer with your vehicle. Toyota also 
does not recommend the installation 
of a tow hitch or the use of a tow 
hitch carrier for a wheelchair, scooter, 
bicycle, etc. Your vehicle is not 
designed for trailer towing or for the 
use of tow hitch mounted carriers.
Vehicles with a towing pack- 
age
Your vehicle is designed primarily as  
a passenger carrying vehicle. Towing 
a trailer will have an adverse effect 
on handling, performance, braking, 
durability, and fuel consumption. Your 
safety and satisfaction depend on the 
proper use of correct equipment and 
cautious driving habits. For your 
safety and the safety of others, do 
not overload the vehicle or trailer. 
To tow a trailer safely, use extreme  
care and drive the vehicle in accor-
dance with the trailer’s characteris-
tics and operating conditions. 
Toyota warranties do not apply to  
damage or malfunction caused by 
towing a trailer for commercial pur-
poses. 
Ask your local authorized Toyota  
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, 
or any reliable repairer for further 
details before towing, as there are 
additional legal requirements in some 
countries.

Driving
4-4.Refueling
 Turn the engine switch off and  
ensure that all the doors and 
windows are closed. 
 Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types 
 P.576
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded  
gasoline 
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your  vehicle has a fuel tank opening that only  
accommodates the special nozzle on 
unleaded fuel pumps.
Opening the fuel tank  
cap
Perform the following steps to  
open the fuel tank cap:
Before refueling the vehicle
WA R N I N G
■When refueling the vehicle 
Observe the following precautions  
while refueling the vehicle. Failure to 
do so may result in death or serious  injury.
●After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an  
unpainted metal surface to dis-
charge any static electricity. It is  important to discharge static elec- 
tricity before refueling because 
sparks resulting from  static electric- ity can cause fuel vapors to ignite  
while refueling.
●Always hold the grips on the fuel  tank cap and turn it slowly to  
remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard  when the fuel tank cap is loosened.  
Wait until the sound cannot be 
heard before fully removing the  cap. In hot weather, pressurized  
fuel may spray out the filler neck 
and cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has not 
discharged static electricity from  their body to come close to an open  
fuel tank.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are 
harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling the 
vehicle. Doing so may cause the fuel to  
ignite and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or touch 
any person or object that is stati-
cally charged. This may cause static electricity to  
build up, resulting in a possible igni-
tion hazard.
■When refueling 
Observe the following precautions to  prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel  
tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into 
the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel 
nozzle automatically clicks off.
●Do not top off the fuel tank. 

2124-4. Refueling
1Pull up the opener to open the  
fuel filler door. 
2 Turn the fuel tank cap slowly  
and remove it, then hang it on 
the back of the fuel filler door. 
After refueling, turn the fuel tank  
cap until you hear a click. Once the 
cap is released, it w ill turn slightly in  
the opposite direction.
NOTICE
■Refueling 
Do not spill fuel during refueling. 
Doing so may damage the vehicle,  such as causing the emission control  
system to operate abnormally or dam-
aging fuel system components or the  vehicle’s painted surface.
Opening the fuel tank cap
Closing the fuel tank cap
WA R N I N G
■When replacing the fuel tank cap 
Do not use anything but a genuine  
Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your  vehicle. Doing so ma y cause a fire or  
other incident which may result in 
death or serious injury.
