WA R N I N G
●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.
●Always apply the parking brake,
shift the shift lever to P (vehicles
with an automatic transmission), stop the engine and lock the vehi-
cle.
Do not leave the vehicle unat- tended while the engine is running.
If the vehicle is parked with the shift
lever in P but the parking brake is not set, the vehicl e may start to
move, possibly leading to an acci-
dent.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes
while the engine is running or immediately after turning the engine
off.
Doing so may cause burns.
■When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever
or depress the accelerator pedal, this
could cause an accident or fire due to engine overheating. Additionally, if the
vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated
area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to death or
a serious health hazard.
■When braking
●When the brakes are wet, drive
more cautiously. Braking distance increases when
the brakes are wet, and this may
cause one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other
side. Also, the parking brake may
not securely hold the vehicle.
●If the brake booster device does not operate, do not follow other vehi-
cles closely and avoid hills or sharp
turns that require braking. In this case, braking is still possible,
but the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will
increase. Have your brakes fixed
immediately.
●Do not pump the brake pedal if the
engine stalls. Each push on the brake pedal uses
up the reserve for the
power-assisted brakes.
●The brake system consists of 2 indi-
vidual hydraulic systems; if one of the systems fails, the other will still
operate. In this case, the brake
pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking
distance will increase. Have your
brakes fixed immediately.
■If the vehicle becomes stuck
Do not spin the wheels excessively when any of the tires is up in the air,
or the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud,
etc. This may damage the driveline components or propel the vehicle for-
ward or backward, causing an acci-
dent.
NOTICE
■Pre-driving check
Trapping small animals in the cooling
fan and belts of the engine may result
in a malfunction. Check that no small animal enters the engine compart-
ment and under the vehicle before
starting the engine.

1364-1. Before driving
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle (vehi-
cles with an automatic transmis-
sion)
●Do not depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time while
driving, as this may restrain the engine output.
●Do not use the accelerator pedal or
depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time to hold the
vehicle on a hill.
■When driving the vehicle (vehi-
cles with a manual transmission)
●Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time dur-
ing driving, as this may restrain the
engine output.
●Do not shift gears unless the clutch
pedal is fully depressed. After shift- ing, do not release the clutch pedal
abruptly. Doing so may damage the
clutch, transmission and gears.
●Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exces- sive premature wear or damage to
the clutch, eventually making it diffi-
cult to accelerate and start off from a stop. Have the vehicle inspected
by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal or depress it any time other than when shifting.
Doing so may cause clutch trouble.
• Do not use any gear other than the
1st gear when starting off and mov-
ing forward. Doing so may damage the clutch.
• Do not use the clutch pedal to adjust vehicle speed.
Doing so may damage the clutch.
• Do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopping on an uphill
grade.
Doing so may damage the clutch.
• When stopping the vehicle with the
shift lever in a position other than N, make sure to fully depress the
clutch pedal and stop the vehicle
using the brakes.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R with-
out the vehicle completely stopped. Doing so may damage the clutch,
transmission and gears.
●Do not release the clutch pedal too
quickly. Doing so may damage the
transmission.
■When parking the vehicle (vehi-
cles with an automatic transmis- sion)
Always set the parking brake and shift
the shift lever to P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicl e to move or the
vehicle may accelerate suddenly if
the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully
in either direction and hold it there
for an extended period of time. Doing so may damage the power
steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the
road, drive as slowly as possible to
avoid damaging the wheels, under- side of the vehicle, etc.
●Vehicles with an automatic trans-mission: Do not race the engine for
more than 5 seconds in any posi-
tion except the N or P position
when the brake is applied or when chocks are used in the wheels. This
may cause the transmission fluid to
overheat.

NOTICE
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the
following situations. Hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually depress
the brake pedal to slow down the
vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your
vehicle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal
sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnormally.
Information on what to do in case of a flat tire (P.345)
■When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has
flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may cause the following serious dam-
age to the vehicle:
●Engine stalling
●Short in electrical components
●Engine damage caused by water
immersion
In the event that you drive on a
flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be sure to have any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota author-
ized repairer, or any reliable repairer check the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in quantity and quality of
oil and fluid used for the engine, transmission, differential, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the propel-ler shaft, bearings and suspension
joints (where possible), and the
function of all joints, bearings, etc.
Cargo and luggage
Take notice of the following
information about storage pre-
cautions, cargo capacity and
load:
WA R N I N G
■Things that must not be carried
in the trunk
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the trunk:
●Receptacles containing gasoline
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the trunk whenever possible.
●To prevent cargo and luggage from sliding forward during braking, do
not stack anything in the enlarged
trunk. Keep cargo and luggage low, as close to the floor as possible.
●When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed
directly behind the front seats.
●Never allow anyone to ride in the
enlarged trunk. It is not designed for
passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts
properly fastened. Otherwise, they
are much more likely to suffer death or serious bodily injury, in the event
of sudden braking, sudden swerv-
ing or an accident.

1384-1. Before driving
WA R N I N G
●Do not place cargo or luggage in or
on the following locations as the
item may get under the clutch (manual transmission), brake or
accelerator pedal and prevent the
pedals from being depressed prop- erly, block the driver’s vision, or hit
the driver or passengers, causing
an accident:
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear
seats (when stacking items)
• On the package tray
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
●Secure all items in the occupant
compartment, as they may shift and injure someone during sudden
braking, sudden swerving or an
accident.
■Load and distribution
●Do not overload your vehicle.
●Do not apply loads unevenly.
Improper loading may cause deteri- oration of steering or braking con-
trol which may cause death or
serious injury.
Trailer towing
Toyota does not recommend
towing a trailer with your vehi-
cle. Toyota also does not rec-
ommend the installation of a
tow hitch or the use of a tow
hitch carrier for a wheelchair,
scooter, bicycle, etc. Your vehi-
cle is not designed for trailer
towing or for the use of tow
hitch mounted carriers.
