1344-1. Before driving
WA R N I N G
●Vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission: Be careful not to shift the
shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed. Shifting the shift
lever to a gear other than P or N
may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident and result in
death or serious injury.
●Do not place items in the shift
lever's surrounding area. It may
cause incorrect operation.
●If the shift boot is pulled out during
cleaning, return it to its previous position. If the shift boot is left
pulled out, the shift lever may
become difficult to operate.
■If you hear a squealing or scrap-
ing noise (brake pad wear indica- tors)
Have the brake pads checked 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 (automatic transmission) or
N, the vehicle may accelerate sud- denly and unexpectedly, causing an
accident.
●Vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission: In order to prevent acci-
dents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep depressing the
brake pedal while the engine is run-
ning, 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.
●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.

■Symptoms indicating a malfunc-
tion with the engine switch
If the engine switch seems to be oper- ating somewhat differently than usual,
such as the switch sticking slightly,
there may be a malfunction. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer immediately.

■Stopping the engine in an emer-
gency
If you want to stop the engine in an
emergency while driving the vehicle,
press and hold the engine switch for
more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession.
( P.326)
However, do not touch the engine switch while driving except in an
emergency. 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 vehicle as soon as
it is safe to do so.
●If the engine switch is operated
while the vehicle is running, a warn- ing message will be shown on the
multi-information display and a
buzzer sounds.
●Vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission: To restart the engine after performing an emergency shut-
down, shift the shift lever to N and
then press the engine switch.
●Vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion: To restart the engine after per- forming an emergency shutdown,
depress the clutch pedal and then

NOTICE
●The characteristics of the stereo
camera are similar to those of
human eyes. For this reason, con- ditions that make it difficult for the
driver to see in the forward direction
have the same effect on the stereo camera. They also make it difficult
for the system to detect vehicles,
obstacles, and traffic lanes.
●Detection by the EyeSight system
is limited to objects that are within
the range of the stereo camera’s field of view. Also, after an object
enters the range of the camera’s
field of view, it may take some time for the system to detect it as a con-
trollable target and to warn the
driver.
Low objects surrounding the vehi-
cle cannot be detected.

●When the difference in speed with
the obstacle in front is the following
figure*1or more, it may not be possi- ble to avoid a collision. Even if the
speed difference is the following fig-
ure*1 or less, in cases such as when another vehicle cuts in front
of you, or in other cases depending
on visibility, the condition of road
surface and other factors*2, the function may be unable to stop the
vehicle or may not activate.
Pre-Collision Braking Assist also may not activate depending on the
conditions*2 listed below.
*1: For vehicles: approximately 50
km/h (30 mph),
For pedestrians: approximately 35
km/h (20 mph)
*2: Conditions in which Pre-Collision
Braking System cannot detect
obstacles:
• Distance to obstacle in front of you,
speed difference, proximity condi- tions, lateral di splacement (the
amount of offset)
• Vehicle conditions (amount of load,
number of occupants, etc.)
• Road conditions (grade, slipperi-
ness, shape, bumps, etc.)
• Visibility ahead is poor (rain, snow,
fog or smoke, etc.)
• The detected object is something
other than a vehi cle, motorcycle,
bicycle or pedestrian.
A domestic animal or other animal
(a dog or deer, etc.)
A guardrail, telephone pole, tree,
fence or wall, etc.
• Even if the obstacle is a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian, depending on
the brightness of the surroundings
as well as the relative movement, and aspect or angle of the object,
there may be cases when the sys-
tem cannot detect it.
• The system determines that opera-
tion by the driver (based on acceler- ator pedal operation, braking,
steering wheel angle, etc.) is
intended as evasive action.
• Vehicle maintenance status (brake
systems, tire wear, tire pressure, etc.)
• A trailer or another vehicle, etc. is being towed.
• The brakes are cold due to the out- side temperature being low or just
after starting the engine.
• The brakes are overheated on
downhill grades (braking perfor-
mance is reduced).
• In rain or after washing the vehicle
(the brakes are wet and braking performance is reduced.)
• Recognition conditions of the stereo camera
In particular, the function may be
unable to stop the vehicle or may not
activate in the following cases.
Bad weather (for example heavy
rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
Visibility is poor due to sand,
smoke or water vapor blowing in the
wind, or the front vision is obscured
due to water splashes, snow, dirt or
dust stir up generated by the vehicle
in front or oncoming traffic.

an obstacle after changing lanes.
There is a vehicle, motorcycle,
bicycle or pedestri an in a location
close to your vehicle’s bumper.
The speed difference between
your vehicle and an obstacle is 5
km/h (4 mph) or less (As braking is
performed once the obstacle is in
close proximity to your vehicle,
depending on the shape and size of
the obstacle, there may be some
cases when the obstacle is outside
the range of the camera’s field of
view.).
