4-2. Driving procedures
Driving
■Parking brake operation sound 
When the parking brake operates, a  motor sound (whirring sound) may be  
heard. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
■Parking brake operation
●Depending on the engine switch posi-
tion/mode, the parking brake indicator  and parking brake light will turn on  
and stay on as described below: 
ON: Comes on until the parking brake  is released. 
Not in ON: Stays on for approximately 
15 seconds.
●When the engine switch is turned off 
with the parking brake set, the parking  brake indicator and parking brake light  
will stay on for about 15 seconds. This 
does not indicate a malfunction.
■When the parking brake switch  malfunctions 
Automatic mode (automatic brake set- 
ting and releasing) will be turned on  automatically.
■Parking the vehicle 
 P.145
■Parking brake engaged warning  
buzzer

■When parking the vehicle 
Do not leave a child in the vehicle  
alone. The parking brake may be  released unintentionally and there is  
the danger of the vehicle moving that 
may lead to an accident resulting in  death or serious injury.
■Parking brake switch 
Do not set any objects near the park- ing brake switch. 
Objects may interfer e with the switch  
and may lead the parking brake to  unexpectedly operate.
NOTICE
■When parking the vehicle 
Before you leave the vehicle, set the  
parking brake, shift the shift lever to P 
(Multidrive) or N (manual transmis- sion) and make sure that the vehicle  
does not move.
■When the system malfunctions 
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and  
check the warning messages.
■When the parking brake cannot 
be released due to a malfunction 
Driving the vehicle with the parking  brake set will lead to brake compo- 
nents overheating, which may affect 
braking performance and increase  brake wear. 
Have the vehicle inspected by any  
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota  authorized repairer, or any reliable  
repairer immediately if this occurs. 

3064-5. Using the driving support systems
“Currently Unavailable”
There may be a system failure.
Power steering equipment is temporarily over- 
heating. 
 Turn the engine switch off, wait for a little  
while, and then start the engine again.
The engine is not operating. 
 Start the engine.
Ice, snow, dirt, etc., has adhered to a sensor.  
Remove any ice, snow, dirt, etc. 
 Remove any ice, snow, dirt, etc.
The sensor is frozen. 
 Once the sensor thaws, the system will  
return to normal.
The battery has been removed and reinstalled. 
 Drive the vehicle straight ahead for 5 sec- 
onds or more at a speed of approximately 
35 km/h (22 mph) or higher.
“Excessive Speed”
The S-IPA switch is operated when the vehicle 
speed exceeds 30 km/h (16 mph). 
 Operate the switch when the vehicle  
speed is approximately 30 km/h (16 mph) 
or less.
“Unavailable” 
“Try Another  Location”
The S-IPA switch is operated in an area with no  
parking spaces, or operated in an area where 
the road width for parking is narrow. 
 Assist control cannot be used, as there is  
no parking space. Proceed to a parking 
space which width is approximately 2.6 m 
(8.5 ft.) or larger. 
 Assist control cannot be used, as the  
road width is narrow. Proceed to a park-
ing space where the road width is approx-
imately 4.5 m (15 ft.) or larger.
MessageSituation/Handling method 

3184-5. Using the driving support systems
●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, TRC  and hill-start assist control sys- 
tems
●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 and  
VSC systems 
After turning the  TRC 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.
■Operating conditions of emergency  
brake signal 
When the following conditions are met,  
the emergency brake signal will oper- ates:
●The emergency flashers are off
●Actual vehicle speed is over 55 km/h  
(35 mph)
●The system judges from the vehicle 
deceleration that it is a sudden brak- ing operation.

6-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
Interior features
■The heated steering wheel and seat  heaters can be used when 
The engine switch is in ON.
WA R N I N G
■To prevent overheating and  
minor burn injuries 
Observe the following precautions  
when using the seat heaters.
●Do not cover the seat with a blanket 
or cushion when using the seat 
heater.
●Do not use seat heater more than 
necessary. 

5188-2. Steps to take in an emergency

NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables 
When connecting the jumper cables,  
ensure that they do not become  entangled in the cooling fan or engine  
drive belt.
If  your vehicle overheats
The following may indicate that  
your vehicle is overheating.
 The engine coolant tempera- 
ture gauge ( P.85, 88) is in  
the red zone or a loss of 
engine power is experienced. 
(For example, the vehicle 
speed does not increase.) 
 “Engine Coolant Temp High  
Stop in a Safe Place See 
Owner’s Manual” is shown on 
the multi-information display. 
 Steam comes out from under  
the hood.
