4-1. Before driving
Driving
WARNING
●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 9 4
●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.179, 183)
●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 a Multidrive: Do not
let the vehicle roll backward while a forward driving position is selected, 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 a Multidrive: Do not shift 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 R while
the vehicle is moving forward. 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.
●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.

4-1. Before driving
WARNING
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: Be care- ful not to shift the shift lever with the
accelerator pedal depressed. Shift- ing the shift lever to any positions other than P or N may lead to unex-
pected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.
■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 (Multidrive) or N, the vehicle may accelerate suddenly and unex-pectedly, causing an accident.
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: In order to prevent accidents due to the
vehicle rolling away, always keep depressing the brake pedal while the engine is running, 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 adhesive 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.

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers
Driving
An optical sensor is adopted. It may
not operate properly when sunlight from the rising or setting of the sun intermittently strikes the windshield, or
if bugs etc. are present on the wind- shield.
●If the wiper is turned to AUTO mode while the engine switch is in ON, the wipers will operate once to show that
AUTO mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-
sor is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -15°C (5°F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate
the wipers in any mode other than AUTO mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in AUTO mode (vehicles with rain-sensing wind-
shield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched
or the windshield is subject to vibra- tion in AUTO mode. Take care that your fingers or anything else do not
become caught in the windshield wip- ers.
■Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer
fluid until the windshield becomes warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility.
This may lead to an accident, result- ing in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When there is no washer fluid
spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump may be caused if the lever is pulled
toward you and held continually.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.
