■General precautions while driv- 
ing 
Driving under the influence: Never  drive your vehicle when under the  
influence of alcohol or drugs that have 
impaired your ability to operate your  vehicle. Alcohol and certain drugs  
delay reaction time, impair judgment 
and reduce coordination, which could 
lead to an accident that could result in  death or serious injury. 
Defensive driving: Always drive  
defensively. Anticipate  mistakes  that  other drivers or pedestrians might  
make and be ready to avoid acci-
dents. 
Driver distraction: Always give your  
full attention to driving. Anything that 
distracts the driver, such as adjusting  controls, talking on a cellular phone or  
reading can result in a collision with 
resulting death or serious injury to  you, your occupants or others.
■General precaution regarding children’s safety 
Never leave children unattended in  
the vehicle, and never allow children  to have or use the key. 
Children may be able to start the vehi- 
cle or shift the vehicle into neutral.  There is also a danger that children  
may injure themselves by playing with 
the windows, the panoramic moon  roof, or other features of the vehicle.  
In addition, heat build-up or extremely 
cold temperatures inside the vehicle  can be fatal to children.

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 

3584-5. Using the driving support systems
to reduce the vehicle speed and  
help reduce the poss ibility of further  
damage due to a secondary colli-
sion.
■When the TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway  
Control systems are operating 
The slip indicator light will flash while the  
TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems 
are operating.
■Disabling the TRC system 
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or  snow, the TRC system may reduce  
power from the engine to the wheels.  
Pressing   to turn the system off may  
make it easier for you to rock the vehicle  
in order to free it. 
To turn the TRC system off, quickly  
press and release  . 
The “Traction Control Turned OFF” will  
be shown on the multi-information dis-
play. 
Press   again to turn the system  
back on.
■Turning off both TRC, VSC and  
Trailer Sway Control systems 
To turn the TRC, VSC and Trailer Sway  
Control systems off,  press and hold    
for more than 3 seconds while the vehi- cle is stopped. 
The VSC OFF indicator light will come  
on and the “Traction Control Turned 
OFF” will be shown on the multi-infor- 
mation display.*
Press   again to turn the system  
back on.
*: On vehicles with PCS (Pre-Collision  
System), PCS will also be disabled 
(only Pre-Collision warning is availa-
ble). The PCS warning light will come 
on and a message will be displayed 
on the multi-information display. 
( P.230)
■When the message is displayed on  
the multi-information display show- ing that TRC has been disabled  
even if   has not been pressed 
TRC is temporary deactivated. If the  information continues to show, contact  
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota 
authorized repairer, or any reliable  repairer.
■Operating conditions of hill-start  
assist control 
When the following four conditions are  met, the hill-start assist control will oper- 
ate:
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: The shift 
lever is in a position other than P or N 
(when starting off forward/backward 
on an upward incline).
●Vehicles with a manual transmission: 
The shift lever is in a position other  than R when starting off forward on an  
upward incline, or the shift lever is in 
R when starting off backward on an  upward incline.
