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.

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.

■Conditions to turn the high beams on/off automatically
●When all of the following conditions are met, the high beams will be turned
on automatically (after approximately
1 second): • The vehicle speed is approximately 60
km/h (37 mph) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark. • There are no vehicles ahead with
headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are few streetlights on the road ahead.
●If any of the following conditions is met, the high beams will turn off auto-
matically:

• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.
■Stereo camera detection informa-
tion
●If EyeSight is malfunctioning or tem-
porarily disabled, the high beam assist
will not operate, and the low beam
headlights will turn on.
●The high beams may not be automati-
cally turned off in the following situa- tions:
• When a vehicle suddenly appears
from around a curve • When the vehicle is cut in front of by
another vehicle
• When vehicles ahead cannot be
detected due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees • When vehicles ahead appear in a far-
away lane on a wide road
• When the lights of vehicles ahead are not on
●The high beams may be turned off if a vehicle ahead that is using fog lights
without its headlights turned on is
detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic sig-
nals, and illuminated billboards or signs and other reflective objects may
cause the high beams to change to
the low beams, or the low beams to remain on.
●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken for the high
beams to turn on or off:
• The brightness of the headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of vehicles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehi-
cles ahead • When a vehicle ahead only has oper-
ational lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradient,
curve, condition of the road surface, etc.)
• The number of passengers and
amount of luggage in the vehicle • When there is a lag in response due
to the limitations of the detection
range of the stereo camera
●The high beams may turn on or off
unexpectedly.
●Bicycles or similar vehicles may not
be detected.
●In the following si tuations the system
may not be able to correctly detect the
surrounding brightness level. This may cause the low beams to remain
on or the high beams to flash or daz-
zle pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In such a case, it is necessary to manu-
ally switch between the high and low
beams. • When driving in inclement weather

EyeSight is a driving support
system that uses a range of
functions to assist the driver in
making decisions in order to
provide for more safe and
comfortable driving and to
reduce driver fatigue. Making
use of images created by the
stereo camera, EyeSight
detects vehicles, obstacles,
traffic lanes and other items
ahead.
WA R N I N G
Drivers are responsible for driving
safely. Always comply with all traffic
rules and regulations regardless of the fact that your vehicle is equipped
with EyeSight. Always maintain a safe
following distance between your vehi- cle and the vehicle in front of you, pay
attention to your surroundings and
driving conditions, and take neces- sary actions in order to maintain a
safe following distance.
Never attempt to drive relying on Eye-
Sight alone.
EyeSight is intended to assist the
driver in making decisions in order to
reduce the risk of accidents or dam- age and lessen the burden on the
driver.
When an EyeSight warning is acti-
vated, pay attention to what is in front
of you and to your surroundings, and take necessary acti ons. This system
is not designed to support driving in
poor visibility or in extreme weather conditions, or to protect against care-
less driving when the driver is not
paying complete attention to the road ahead. It also cannot prevent colli-
sions from occurring in all driving con-
ditions.

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.
