DRIVING HINTS
Brake discs and pads only achieve
their full effectiveness after approxi-
mately 500 km, 300 miles. Drive
moderately during this running-in
period.
Please comply with the running-in
procedures again if the compo-
nents previously referred to are
renewed.
The exhaust gas particle filter col-
lects soot particles. The soot parti-
cles are burned at high

General driving information
Closing the boot lid
Safety note
WA R N I N G
When open, the boot lid protrudes above the vehicle, and in the event of
an accident, braking or evasive
manoeuvres, it can endanger vehicle occupants and other road users, or
damage the vehicle. Exhaust fumes
may also enter the passenger com- partment. There is a danger of injury
or damage to property. Do not drive
with the boot lid open.
Ice on the windows
NOTICE
The window lowers a little when the
door handle is pulled. If there is frost, the window may freeze up and cannot
then be lowered. There is a risk of
material damage. Make sure that the window lowers when the door handle
is pulled. Remove any snow or ice
from the window. Do not open the
door by force.
Hot exhaust system
WA R N I N G
High temperatures can be generated
under the body during driving, for example because of the exhaust sys-
tem. Contact with the exhaust system
can lead to burns. There is a risk of injury. Do not touch the hot exhaust
system, including th e exhaust pipe.
WA R N I N G
If flammable materials, for example leaves or grass, come into contact
with hot parts of the exhaust system,
these materials can catch fire. There is a risk of fire and injury. Never
remove the heat shields fitted here or
apply underbody protection to them. Make sure that when driving, idling or
parking, no flammable materials can
come into contact with hot vehicle parts.

DRIVING HINTS
Ensure that you do not obstruct
other road users when doing so.
The heat generated by braking
dries the brake discs and brake
pads and protects them against
corrosion.
This way, brake power is available
immediately, whenever it is needed.
■General
When driving on long or steep
downhill stretches, use the gear in
which the least braking is required.
Otherwise the brake system can
overheat and the braking effect is
reduced.
Engine braking effect can be addi-
tionally increased by manually shift-
ing down, even into first gear, if
applicable.
■Safety notes
Corrosion of the brake discs and
contamination of the brake pads
increase in the following circum-
stances:
Low mileage.
Extended periods when the vehi-
cle is not used.
Infrequent use of the brakes.
Aggressive, acidic or alkaline
cleaning agents.
During braking, corroded brake
discs may cause brake judder
which usually cannot be eliminated.
When the automatic air condition-
ing is in operation, condensation
develops and exits underneath the
vehicle.
The higher mechanical and thermal
loads involved in driving on racing
tracks lead to increased wear. This
wear is not covered by the war-
ranty. The vehicle is not conceived
for use in motor sports competi-
tions.
Before and after driving on a racing
track, have the vehicle checked at
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
Downhill gradients
WA R N I N G
Even slight continuous pressure on the brake pedal can cause overheat-
ing, brake pad wear or even brake
system failure. There is a danger of accidents. Avoid excessive loads on
the brake.
WA R N I N G
When idling or with the engine switched off, safety-relevant func-
tions, for example engine braking
effect or steering and braking force assistance, are either restricted or not
available at all. There is a risk of acci-
dent. Do not drive at idle speed or with the engine switched off.

■Safety note
■General
In a car wash, the vehicle must be
able to roll freely.
To roll or push the vehicle, see
page 156.
Some car washes require you to
get out of the vehicle. It is not possi-
ble to lock the vehicle from the out-
side in selector lever position N. If
an attempt is made to lock the vehi-
cle, a signal sounds.
Ensure that the remote control is
located in the vehicle.
Switch on drive-ready state, see
page 55.
Do not rub wet headlights dry and
do not use abrasive or corrosive
cleaning agents.
Soak impurities such as insect resi-
dues with shampoo and wash off
with water.
Remove ice with a de-icer spray; do
not use an ice scraper.
After the vehicle has been washed,
briefly apply the brakes to dry them
otherwise braking effectiveness
may be temporarily reduced. The
heat generated by braking dries the
brake discs and br ake pads and
Automatic car washes
Safety notes
NOTICE
If high-pressure washers are used, water may penetrate the area around
the windows. There is a danger of
damage to property. Avoid high pres-
sure washers.
NOTICE
The vehicle can be damaged if auto-
matic washing bays or car washes are used incorrectly. There is a dan-
ger of damage to property. Observe
the following notes:
●Textile car washes or systems
using soft brushes are preferable,
to avoid damage to the paintwork.
●Avoid washing bays or car washes
with guide rails higher than 10 cm,
4 in, to avoid damage to the body.
●Note the maximum tyre width of the
guide rail to avoid damage to tyres and rims.
●Fold in the exterior mirrors to avoid damaging them.
●Deactivate the wipers and the rain sensor (if fitted) to avoid damage to
the wiper system.

NOTICE
Selector lever position P is automati-
cally engaged when standby state is
switched off. There is a danger of damage to property. Do not switch off

ately to prevent the synthetic
leather from being altered or dis-
coloured.
Regularly clean the upholstery with
a vacuum cleaner.
In the event of heavy soiling, for
example stains caused by drinks,
use a soft sponge or a lint-free
microfibre cloth with suitable inte-
rior cleaning agents.
Clean the upholstery up to the
seams using wide wiping actions.
Avoid rubbing vigorously.
When cleaning the wheels while
they are installed on the vehicle,
only use neutral rim cleaner with a
pH value of between 5 and 9. Do
not use abrasive cleaners or steam
cleaners above 60 °C/140 °F.
Observe the manufacturer's
instructions.
Corrosive, acidic or alkaline
cleaners may destroy the protective
layer of adjacent parts, for example
brake discs.
After cleaning, briefly apply the
brakes to dry them. The heat gen-
erated by braking dries the brake
discs and brake pads and protects
them against corrosion.
Carefully clean parts such as the
radiator grille and door handles with
plenty of water to which a shampoo
may be added, particularly if
exposed to road salt.
The surfaces of rubber parts can be
contaminated or lose their shine
due to environmental influences.
Only use water and suitable care
products for cleaning.
Rubber parts subjected to high
wear and tear should be treated
regularly with rubber care products.
Do not use silicone-based care
products for treating rubber seals,
otherwise these could be damaged
and become a source of noise.
The wiper blades are cleaned by
using the window washer system.
Avoid additional manual cleaning of
