■Starting off on a steep uphill
Automatic transmission
1 Make sure that the parking
brake is set and shift the shift
lever to D.
2 Gently depress the accelerator
pedal.
3 Release the parking brake.
Manual transmission
1 Make sure that the parking
brake is set and shift the shift
lever to 1.
2 Lightly depress the accelerator
pedal at the same time as grad-
ually releasing the clutch pedal.
3 Release the parking brake.
■When starting off on an uphill
The hill-start assist c ontrol will activate.
( P.253)
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced, the windows may become fogged-up, and
the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain,
because the road surface will be
especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driv-
ing on an expressway in the rain, because there may be a layer of water
between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
■Engine speed while driving (vehi-
cles with an automatic transmis-
sion)
In the following conditions, the engine
speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting con- trol or down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not indi-
cate sudden acceleration.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving
uphill or downhill
●When the accelerator pedal is
released
●When driving on curves
●When the brake pedal is firmly
depressed
■Restraining the engine output
(Brake Override System)
When the accelerator and brake pedals
are depressed at the same time, the
engine output may be restrained.
■New vehicle break-in driving (the first 1600 km [1000 miles])
The performance and long life of your
vehicle are dependent on how you han- dle and care for your vehicle while it is
new. Follow these instructions during
the first 1600 km (1000 miles):
●Do not race the engine. And do not
allow the engine speed to exceed
4000 rpm except in an emergency.
●Do not drive at one constant engine or
vehicle speed for a long time, either fast or slow.
●Avoid starting suddenly and rapid acceleration, except in an emergency.
●Avoid hard braking, except in an emergency.
The same break-in procedures should

●During normal driving, do not turn
off the engine. 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 vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an emer- gency, such as if it becomes impos-
sible to stop the vehicle in the
normal way: P. 3 2 6
●Use engine braking (downshift) to
maintain a safe speed when driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may
cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness. (P.143, 147)
●Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the
inside or outside rear view mirrors
while driving. Doing so may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●Always check that all passengers’
arms, heads or other parts of their
body are not outside the vehicle.
■When driving on slippery road
surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration and
steering may cause tire slippage
and reduce your ability to control the vehicle.
●Sudden acceleration, engine brak-ing due to shifting, or changes in
engine speed could cause the vehi-
cle to skid.
●After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to
make sure that the brakes are func-
tioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent the brakes from func-
tioning properly. If the brakes on
only one side are wet and not func- tioning properly, steering control
may be affected.
■When shifting the shift lever
●Vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission: Do not let the vehicle roll backward while the sh ift lever is in a
driving position, or roll forward while
the shift lever is in R. Doing so may cause the engine to
stall or lead to poor brake and
steering performance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehi-
cle.
●Vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission: Do not shi ft the shift lever
to P while the vehicle is moving. Doing so can damage the transmis-
sion and may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift lever to a driv-
ing position while the vehicle is moving backward.
Doing so can damage the transmis-
sion and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R while the vehicle is moving forward.
Doing so can damage the transmis-
sion and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the
engine from the transmission.
Engine braking is not available
when N is selected.

●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.
1724-5. EyeSight
EyeSight includes the following
functions.
■Pre-Collision Braking System
This function uses a following dis-
tance warning feature to warn the
driver to take evasive action when
there is the possibility of a collision
with a vehicle, pedestrian or obsta-
cle in front of you. If the driver does
not take evasive ac tion, the brakes
are applied automatically to help
reduce vehicle co llision damage or,
if possible, help prevent a collision.
NOTICE
●Make sure that the stereo camera's
field of view is not interfered.
Obstructing the stereo camera’s view may impair the system opera-
tion. For details, contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
●Keep the windshield (outside and inside) clean at all times. When the
windshield has become fogged, or
it has a dirt or an oil film on it, the stereo camera may not detect
objects accurately and the EyeSight
system may not oper ate correctly. Never mount any device to the
center air vent, as any airflow
change may impact EyeSight per- formance.
●Do not place any stickers or acces-sories on the windshield (outside or
inside). If you have to do so (for
example, legally required or elec- tronic toll tag), avoid the area
directly in front of the camera. Oth-
erwise, it may adversely affect the field of view of the stereo camera
and can cause improper operation
of the system. For details, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
●Do not use any glass coating
agents or similar substances on the windshield. Doing so may interfere
with the proper operation of the sys-
tem.
●Do not install any film or an addi-
tional layer of glass on the wind- shield. The system may not operate
correctly.
●If there are scratches or cracks on
the windshield, contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
●To have the windshield replaced or repaired, it is recommended con-
tacting any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
In case of replacement or repair, to
continue to use EyeSight function- ality, do not install a windshield
other than a genuine Toyota wind-
shield or a third party windshield that matches the quality of genuine
Toyota windshields.
Inferior parts can prevent the stereo camera from being able to detect
objects accurately, and the Eye-
Sight system may not operate prop- erly. Toyota and Toyota dealer(s)
are not liable for any damage that
may be caused by the use of parts other than genuine Toyota parts.
In order to continue to use EyeSight
functionality, stereo camera adjust- ment is necessary when a wind-
shield is reinstalled or replaced. For
further details concerning stereo camera adjustment, it is recom-
mended contacting any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer
capable of EyeSight service.

Some unusual noises may be audible
during automatic braking. This is caused
by the braking control and is normal.
Pre-Collision Braking
System*
When there is the risk of a
rear-end collision with an
obstacle or pedestrian in front,
the EyeSight system helps to
prevent or minimize a collision
by warning the driver. If the
driver still does not take eva-
sive action to avoid a collision,
the brakes can be automati-
cally applied just before the
collision in order to reduce
impact damage, or if possible,
prevent the collision. If the
driver takes evasive action to
avoid a collision, Pre-Collision
Braking Assist will operate in
order to help the driver to pre-
vent or minimize the collision.
This function can be activated
when the shift lever is in the D,
M or N position.
WA R N I N G
●Never use Pre-Collision Braking
System and Pre-Collision Braking
Assist to stop your car or avoid a collision under ordinary conditions.
These functions cannot prevent col-
lisions under all conditions. If the driver relies only on Pre-Collision
Braking System for Brake opera-
tion, collisions may occur.
●When a warning is activated, pay attention to the front of the vehicle
and its surroundings, and operate
the brake pedal and/or take other actions if necessary.
●The EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking System is primarily designed to pre-
vent rear-end collisions with other
vehicles when possible or to mini- mize damage and injuries in the
event of a collision. In addition to
other vehicles, things such as motorbikes, bicycles and pedestri-
ans can also be treated as obsta-
cles. However, there may be cases when detection is not possible
depending on a variety of condi-
tions*2. For example, when a vehi- cle is viewed from the side,
oncoming vehicle, vehicles
approaching in reverse, small ani- mals or children, or walls or doors
are not likely to be detected.
●Pre-Collision Braking System will
operate at the point when it deter-
mines that a collision cannot be avoided and is designed to apply
strong braking force just before a
collision. The result of this varies depending on a variety of condi-
tions*2. Because of this, perfor-
mance of this function will not always be the same.
●When Pre-Collision Braking System is activated, it will continue to oper-
ate even if the accelerator pedal is
partially depressed. However, it will be canceled if the accelerator
pedal is suddenly or fully
depressed.
●If the driver depresses the brake
pedal or turns the steering wheel,
the system may deter mine that this constitutes evasive action by the
driver, and the automatic braking
control may not activate in order to allow the driver full control.

●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

Adaptive Cruise Control*
Adaptive Cruise Control is a
driving support system
intended to allow more com-
fortable driving on express-
ways, freeways and
motorways. The stereo cam-
era detects vehicles in front
that are driving in the same
traffic lane, and your vehicle
follows the vehicle in front (up
to the maximum speed of the
set vehicle speed). While fol-
lowing, your vehicle will auto-
matically maintain a following
distance that corresponds to
the speed of the vehicle in
front. The vehicle is capable of
being controlled at a speed
between 0 km/h (0 mph) and
approximately 180 km/h (110
mph). Please remember that
you should not exceed posted
speed limits.
WA R N I N G
●This system does not provide the
driver with an automatic driving
function that handles all traffic con- ditions.
●Do not rely excessively on Adaptive Cruise Control. Th is system is not
intended to assist in driving when
the driver is not paying full attention to what is ahead of him/her due to
distractions or a lack of concentra-
tion while driving, or under condi- tions of poor visibility. It is not
intended to prevent rear-end colli-
sions. Strive for safe driving at all times.
Always maintain a safe following
distance behind the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your
surroundings and the driving condi-
tions, and operate the brake pedal and take other actions as neces-
sary.
●When using Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol, always set the speed according
to the speed limit, traffic flow, road conditions, and other conditions.
●Before using the system, perform a daily inspection and verify that
there are no malfunctions of the
tires or brakes.
●When you do not want to use Adap-
tive Cruise Control, be sure to turn it off by pressing the “ON-OFF”
switch. If the switch is left on, cruise
control may be accidentally engaged, possibly resulting in an
accident.
●Before using Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol, be sure to full y verify the safety
of the vehicle occupants and the area around the vehicle. Never
operate the cruise control from out-
side the vehicle.
The system may not operate correctly
under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
