• If a vehicle ahead has extremely high  
ground clearance 
• If a vehicle ahead is carrying a load  
which protrudes past its rear bumper • If a vehicle ahead is irregularly  
shaped, such as a tractor or side car
• If a vehicle ahead is a child sized bicy- cle, a bicycle that is carrying a large  
load, a bicycle ridden by more than 
one person, or a uniquely shaped  bicycle (bicycle with  a child seat, tan- 
dem bicycle, etc.)
• If a pedestrian/or the riding height of a  bicyclist ahead is shorter than approx-

• When driving in inclement weather

sandstorm • When driving through steam or smoke 
• When the surrounding area is dim, 
such as at dawn or dusk, or while at  night or in a tunnel, making a detecta- 
ble object appear to be nearly the  
same color as its surroundings 
• When driving in a place where the sur- rounding brightness changes sud- 
denly, such as at the entrance or exit 
of a tunnel • After the engine has started the vehi- 
cle has not been driven for a certain 
amount of time • While making a left/right turn and for a  
few seconds after making a left/right 
turn • While driving on a curve and for a few  
seconds after driving on a curve
• If your vehicle is skidding • If the front of the vehicle is raised or  
lowered 
• If the wheels are misaligned 
• If a wiper blade is blocking the front 
camera • The vehicle is being driven at  
extremely high speeds
• When driving on a hill • If the radar sensor or front camera is  
misaligned
●In some situations  such as the follow- 
ing, sufficient braking force may not 
be obtained, prev enting the system  from performing properly: 
• If the braking functions cannot operate 
to their full extent, such as when the  brake parts are extremely cold,  
extremely hot, or wet
• If the vehicle is not properly main- tained (brakes or ti res are excessively  
worn, improper tire inflation pressure, 
etc.)
• When the vehicle is being driven on a  gravel road or other slippery surface
■If VSC is disabled
●If VSC is disabled ( P.358), the  pre-collision brake assist and pre-col- 
lision braking functions are also disa- 

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.
