●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start
assist control is not intended to hold
the vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not
attempt to use hill-start assist con-
trol to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may lead to an acci-
dent.
■When the TRC/VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always
drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a
speed appropriate to the road condi- tions. As these are the systems to
help ensure vehicle stability and driv-
ing force, do not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the
specified size, brand, tread pattern
and total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to
the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure level. The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will
not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspen-sion
Using tires with any kind of problem
or modifying the suspension will affect the driving assist systems, and may
cause a system to malfunction.
If you make no extreme correction
with the steering or brakes, your vehi-
cle and trailer should stabilize. (P.153)
■Secondary Collision Brake (if equipped)
Do not rely solely upon the Secondary
Collision Brake. This system is designed to help reduce the possibil-
ity of further damage due to a second-
ary collision, however, that effect changes according to various condi-
tions. Overly relying on the system
may result in death or serious injury.

■Does your vehicle need repairs?
Be on the alert for changes in perfor- mance and sounds, and visual tip-offs
that indicate service is needed. Some
important clues are:
●Engine missing, stumbling or pinging
●Appreciable loss of power
●Strange engine noises
●A fluid leak under the vehicle (How-
ever, water dripping from the air con- ditioning system after use is normal.)
●Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monox-
ide leak. Drive with the windows open
and have the exhaust system checked immediately.)
●Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire
wear
●Vehicle pulls to one side when driven
straight on a level road
●Strange noises related to suspension
movement
●Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy
feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal
(vehicles with a manual transmission),
pedal almost touches the floor, vehicle pulls to one side when braking
●Engine coolant temperature continu-ally higher than normal ( P.85, 88)
If you notice any of these clues, take
your vehicle to any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer as soon as possi-
ble. Your vehicle may need adjustment or repair.

When trouble arises
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on
1 After the temperature of the tires has lowered sufficiently, check the infla-
tion pressure of each tire and adjust
them to the specified level.
2 If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have
elapsed, check that the inflation
pressure of each tire is at the speci- fied level and perform initialization.
( P.442)
■The tire pressure warning light may
come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may
come on due to natural causes such as
natural air leaks and tire inflation pres- sure changes caused by temperature. In
this case, adjusting the tire inflation
pressure will turn off the warning light (after a few minutes).
■When a tire is replaced with a spare
tire
Vehicles with a compact spare tire: The compact spare tire is not equipped with
a tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warning light will not turn off even
though the flat tire has been replaced
with the spare tire. Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the
tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure
warning light will go off after a few min- utes.
Vehicles with a full-size spare tire: The
spare tire is also equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.
The tire pressure warning light will turn
on if the tire inflation pressure of the spare tire is low. If a tire goes flat, the
tire pressure warning light will not turn
off even though the flat tire has been
replaced with the spare tire. Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and
adjust the tire inflation pressure. The tire
pressure warning light will go off after a few minutes.

■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place
immediately and contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota author- ized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
The vehicle will become extremely
unstable during br aking, and the ABS system may fail, which could cause
an accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
■When the electric power steer-
ing system warning light comes on
When the light comes on yellow, the
assist to the power steering is restricted. When th e light comes on
red, the assist to the power steering is
lost and handling operations of the steering wheel become extremely
heavy.
When steering wheel operations are heavier than usual, grip the steering
wheel firmly and operate it using more
force than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning light
comes on
Be sure to observe the following pre-
cautions.
Failure to do so could cause a loss of vehicle control and re sult in death or
serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible. Adjust the tire
inflation pressure immediately.

vehicle is in a noisy location or if the
audio system volume is high.
WA R N I N G
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire:
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on even after tire inflation pressure adjustment, it is probable
that you have a flat tire. Check the
tires. If a tire is flat, change it with the spare tire and have the flat tire
repaired by the nearest any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Vehicles with emergency tire punc-ture repair kit: If the tire pressure
warning light comes on even after
tire inflation pressure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire.
Check the tires. If a tire is flat, repair
the flat tire by using emergency tire puncture repair kit.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking.
If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you
could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leak-age should occur
The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warn- ing system operates properly
Do not install tires with different speci-
fications or makers, as the tire pres- sure warning system may not operate
properly.
If a war ning message is
displayed
The multi-information display
shows warnings for system
malfunctions and incorrectly
performed operations, and
messages that indicate a need
for maintenance. When a mes-
sage is displayed, perform the
appropriate corrective action
for the message.
If a warning message is dis-
played again after the appro-
priate actions have been
performed, contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
Additionally, if a warning light
comes on or flashes at the
same time that a warning mes-
sage is displayed, take the
appropriate corrective action
for the warning light. ( P.471)
