1243-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
●Touching the door lock or unlock sen-
sor while wearing gloves may prevent lock or unlock operation.
●On some models: When the lock operation is performed using the lock
sensor, recognition signals will be
shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recognition signals will
be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet while
the electronic key is within the effec-
tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow
the following correction procedures to
wash the vehicle: • Place the electronic key in a location 2
m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehi-
cle. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-sav-
ing mode to disable the smart entry & start system. ( P.122)
●If the electronic key is inside the vehi- cle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a message may be
shown on the multi-information dis- play and a buzzer will sound outside
the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock
all the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work prop-
erly if it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor
and attempt to operate it again.
●A sudden handle operation or a han-
dle operation immediately after enter-
ing the effective range may prevent the doors from being unlocked. Touch
the door unlock sensor and check that
the doors are unlocked before pulling the door handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in the
detection area, it may take slightly longer to unlock the doors after the
door handle is gripped.

■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced, the windows may become fogged-up, and
the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain,
because the road surface will be
especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driv-
ing on an expressway in the rain, because there may be a layer of water
between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
■Engine speed while driving (vehi-
cles with a Multidrive)
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting con-
trol or down-shifting implementation to meet driving conditions. It does not indi-
cate sudden acceleration.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving
uphill or downhill
●When the accelerator pedal is released
●When the brake pedal is depressed while sport mode is selected
■Restraining the engine output
(Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake ped-
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
1484-1. Before driving
WA R N I N G
●During normal driving, do not turn
off the engine. Turning the engine
off while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but
the power assist to these systems
will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you
should pull over and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an emer- gency, such as if it becomes impos-
sible to stop the vehicle in the
normal way: P. 4 6 2
●Use engine braking (downshift) to
maintain a safe speed when driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may
cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness. (P.165, 169)
●Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the
inside or outside rear view mirrors
while driving. Doing so may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●Always check that all passengers’
arms, heads or other parts of their
body are not outside the vehicle.
■When driving on slippery road
surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration and
steering may cause tire slippage
and reduce your ability to control the vehicle.
●Sudden acceleration, engine brak-ing due to shifting, or changes in
engine speed could cause the vehi-
cle to skid.
●After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to
make sure that the brakes are func-
tioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent the brakes from func-
tioning properly. If the brakes on
only one side are wet and not func- tioning properly, steering control
may be affected.
■When shifting the shift lever
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: Do not
let the vehicle roll backward while a forward driving position is selected,
or roll forward while the shift lever is
in R. Doing so may cause the engine to
stall or lead to poor brake and
steering performance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehi-
cle.
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: Do not
shift the shift lever to P while the
vehicle is moving. Doing so can damage the transmis-
sion and may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R while
the vehicle is moving forward. Doing so can damage the transmis-
sion and may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift lever to a driv-
ing position while the vehicle is moving backward.
Doing so can damage the transmis-
sion and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the
engine from the transmission.
Engine braking is not available
when N is selected.

4-1. Before driving
Driving
WA R N I N G
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: Be care-
ful not to shift the shift lever with the
accelerator pedal depressed. Shift- ing the shift lever to any positions
other than P or N may lead to unex-
pected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident
and result in death or serious injury.
■If you hear a squealing or scrap- ing noise (brake pad wear indica-
tors)
Have the front and rear brake pads checked at the same time and
replaced by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as
possible.
Rotor damage may result if the pads
are not replaced when needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle
when the wear limits of the brake
pads and/or those of the brake discs are exceeded.
■When the vehicle is stopped
●Do not race the engine.
If the vehicle is in any gear other
than P (Multidrive) or N, the vehicle may accelerate suddenly and unex-
pectedly, causing an accident.
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: In order
to prevent accidents due to the
vehicle rolling away, always keep depressing the brake pedal while
the engine is running, and apply the
parking brake as necessary.
●If the vehicle is stopped on an
incline, in order to prevent acci- dents caused by the vehicle rolling
forward or backward, always
depress the brake pedal and securely apply the parking brake as
needed.
●Avoid revving or racing the engine. Running the engine at high speed
while the vehicle is stopped may
cause the exhaust system to over- heat, which could result in a fire if
combustible material is nearby.
■When the vehicle is parked
●Do not leave glasses, cigarette
lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in the vehicle when it is in the
sun.
Doing so may result in the follow- ing:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette
lighter or spray can, and may lead to a fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and
plastic material of glasses to
deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, caus-
ing the contents to spray over the interior of the vehicle, and may also
cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s
electrical components.
●Do not leave cigarette lighters in the
vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a place such as the glove box or on
the floor, it may be lit accidentally
when luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
●Do not attach adh esive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not
place containers such as air fresh-
eners on the instrument panel or dashboard. Adhesive discs or con-
tainers may act as lenses, causing
a fire in the vehicle.
●Do not leave a door or window
open if the curved glass is coated
with a metallized film such as a sil- ver-colored one. Reflected sunlight
may cause the glass to act as a
lens, causing a fire.
