■Operating conditions of hill-start
assist control
When the following four conditions are met, the hill-start assist control will oper-
ate:
●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.
●The vehicle is stopped
●The accelerator pedal is not depressed
●The parking brake is not engaged
●Engine switch is turned to ON
■Automatic system cancelation of hill-start assist control
The hill-start assist control will turn off in
any of the following situations:
●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
●Engine switch is turned to OFF
■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.
■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.
■Reduced effectiveness 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-

MessageDetails/Actions
WARNING
■The ABS does not operate effec- tively when
●The limits of tire gripping perfor-mance have been exceeded (such as excessively worn tires on a snow
covered road).
●The vehicle hydroplanes while driv-
ing at high speed on wet or slick roads.
■Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of normal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you, especially in the following situations:
●When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps in the road
●When driving over roads with pot-holes or uneven surfaces
■TRC/VSC may not operate effec-tively when
Directional control and power may not
be achievable while driving on slip- pery road surfaces, even if the TRC/VSC system is operating. Drive
the vehicle carefully in conditions where stability and power may be lost.
■Hill-start assist control does not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may not operate effectively on steep
inclines and roads covered with ice.

Driving
WARNING
●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.
■Expert mode precautions
●Do not use on public roads.
●Use only when the road conditions and safely of the surrounding area
can be ensured.
●Proper use of expert mode requires
a professional level of driving skill. When using expert mode, always check the road conditions and sur-
rounding area and drive more care- fully than usual.
■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.
■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.
■Active Torque Split AWD system
●The Active Torque Split AWD sys-tem is designed to ensure driving
stability on general roads and not for off-road driving such as for rally-ing. Do not subject the system to
extreme driving conditions.
●Drive carefully on slippery road sur-
faces.

ble.
■Electric power steering system
warning light (warning buzzer)
When the battery charge becomes insufficient or the voltage temporarily
drops, the electric power steering sys- tem warning light may come on and the warning buzzer may sound.
■When the tire pressure warning
light comes on
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is punctured.
If a tire is punctured: P. 3 2 3
If none of the tires are punctured: Turn the engine switch off then turn it to
ON. Check if the tire pressure warning light comes on or blinks.
If the tire pressure warning light blinks
for approximately 1 minute then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the tire
pressure warning system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer immedi- ately.
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.280)
■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).
■Conditions that the tire pressure
warning system may not function properly
P. 2 7 8
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place
immediately and contact any autho- rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, 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 the 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 result in death or
serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible. Adjust the tire inflation pressure immediately.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking.If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you
could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
