1324-1. Before driving
be applied to an overhauled engine,
newly mounted engine or when brake pads or brake linings are replaced
with new ones.
■High friction brake pads
The brake pads and discs are designed for use under high load conditions.
Therefore, brake noise may be gener-
ated depending on the vehicle speed, braking force and vehicle environment
(temperature, humidity, etc.).
■Drum-in-disc type parking brake
system
Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type
parking brake system. This type of
brake system needs bedding-down of the brake shoes periodically or when-
ever the parking brake shoes and/or
drum are replaced. Have any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer, perform
the bedding down operation.
■After the engine starts
For a short time after the engine is
started, in order to ensure emissions
performance, intake and exhaust noise and vibration may increase, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
■Operating your vehicle in a foreign
country
Comply with the relevant vehicle regis-
tration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P.370)
WA R N I N G
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle (vehi-
cles with an automatic transmis-
sion)
●Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
●Firmly depress the brake pedal because engine speed may
increase immediately after starting
the engine, when the air condition- ing system is operating, when turn-
ing the steering wheel, etc., thereby
causing creeping to become stronger. Apply the parking brake
as necessary.
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar
with the location of the brake and accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accel- erator pedal instead of the brake
pedal will result in sudden accelera-
tion that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist
your body around, leading to a diffi- culty in operating the pedals. Make
sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving
posture even when moving the
vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accelera-
tor pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your
right foot. Depressing the brake
pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-
ing in an accident.
●Do not drive the vehicle over or
stop the vehicle near flammable
materials. The exhaust system and exhaust
gases can be extremely hot. These
hot parts may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
●Vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion: Do not release the clutch pedal too quickly. Doing so may
propel the vehicle forward, possibly
causing an accident.

1624-4. Refueling
4-4.Refueling
Close both side doors and win-
dows, and turn the engine switch
off.
Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
P.376
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded
gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehicle has a fuel tank opening that only
accommodates the special nozzle on
unleaded fuel pumps.
Opening the fuel tank
cap
Perform the following steps to
open the fuel tank cap:
Before refueling the vehicle
WA R N I N G
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions
while refueling the vehicle. Failure to
do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not handle fuel indoors.
●After exiting the vehicle and before
opening the fuel door, touch an unpainted metal surface to dis-
charge any static electricity. It is
important to discharge static elec- tricity before refueling because
sparks resulting from static electric-
ity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.
●Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to
remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be
heard before fully removing the cap. In hot weather, pressurized
fuel may spray out the filler neck
and cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has not
discharged static electricity from their body to come close to an open
fuel tank.
●Do not allow anyone to approach
the area of the vehicle near the fuel
filler pipe while refueling is in pro- gress.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.Fuel contains substances that are
harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling the
vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is stati-
cally charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible igni-
tion hazard.
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions to
prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel
nozzle automatically clicks off.
●Do not top off the fuel tank.

●The hill-start assist control ON indica-
tor is not illuminated.
●The engine switch is turned to ACC or
OFF.
■Notes for hill-start assist control
●A slight jolt may be felt when starting
off backward with th e shift lever in R
and then moving forward.
●If the braking power of hill-start assist
control is insufficient, depress the brake pedal.
●While the vehicle is stopped, make sure to depress the brake pedal.
■The system may be malfunctioning
when
In the following situations, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly quali- fied and equipped professional.
●The slip indicator is illuminated.
●The hill-start assist control ON indica-
tor turns off and a buzzer sounds.
*: If equipped
WA R N I N G
■Hill-start assist control precau- tions
●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.
●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.
●Do not stop the engine while
hill-start assist control is operating,
as hill-start assist control will stop operating, possibly leading to an
accident.
Exhaust Gas Filter sys-
tem*
The Exhaust Gas Filter system
is designed to collect particu-
late matter in the exhaust
gases using an exhaust gas fil-
ter installed to the exhaust
pipes.
NOTICE
■To prevent the Exhaust Gas Filter
system from failing
●Do not use fuel other than the spec- ified type
●Do not modify the exhaust pipe

3307-2. Steps to take in an emergency
The following may indicate a prob-
lem with your transmission. Contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer or commercial tow-
ing service before towing.
The engine is running but the
vehicle does not move.
The vehicle makes an abnormal
sound.
From the front
Use a towing dolly under the rear
wheels.
WA R N I N G
■After towing
Make sure to remove the towing eye-
let. If not removed, the SRS airbags may
not deploy correctly if the vehicle is
involved in a frontal collision, or the fuel pump shutoff system may not
operate correctly if involved in a rear
collision.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift
type truck
●Do not tow the vehicle from the rear when the engine switch is off. The
steering lock mechanism is not
strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for tow-
ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear-
ance, the vehicle could be dam- aged while being towed.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing with a sling-type
truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either from the front or rear.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle during emergency towing
Do not secure cables or chains to the
suspension components.
■When towing down a long slope
Use a wheel lift-type or flat bed truck. If a wheel lift-type or flat bed truck is
not used, the brakes may overheat,
leading to poor brake performance.

sary to contact dealers
