WARNING
■Stopping the engine in an emer- gency
●If you want to stop the engine in an emergency while driving the vehi-cle, press and hold the engine
switch for more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. ( P.394)
However, do not touch the engine switch while driving except in an emergency. 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 diffi- cult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
●If the engine switch is operated
while the vehicle is running, a warn- ing message will be shown on the multi-information display and a
buzzer sounds.
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: To restart
the engine after performing an emergency shutdown, shift the shift lever to N and then press the
engine switch.
●Vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion: To restart the engine after per- forming an emergency shutdown, depress the clutch pedal and then
press the engine switch.

ing, an object may not be detected by the radar sensor and front camera, preventing the system from operating
properly: • When a detectable object is approaching your vehicle
• When your vehicle or a detectable object is wobbling• If a detectable object makes an abrupt
maneuver (such as sudden swerving, acceleration or deceleration)• When your vehicle approaches a
detectable object rapidly • When a detectable object is not directly in front of your vehicle

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when
the brakes are applied suddenly, or
if the brakes are applied while driv-
ing on a slippery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system
detects a panic stop situation
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding
when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces.
■Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer
sway by selectively applying brake
pressure for individual wheels and
reducing driving torque when trailer
sway is detected.
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads
■Active Cornering Assist (ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle from
drifting to the outer side by perform-
ing inner wheel brake control when
attempting to accelerate while turn-
ing
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort needed
to turn the steering wheel.
■Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers auto-
matically flash to alert the vehicle
behind.
■The Secondary Collision
Brake
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collision and the system
operates, the brakes and brake
lights are automatically controlled
to reduce the vehicle speed and
help reduce the possibility of further
damage due to a secondary colli-
sion.
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and per-
formance, the f ollowing sys-
tems operate automatically in
response to various driving sit-
uations. Be aware, however,
that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be
relied upon too heavily when
operating the vehicle.

level inside the vehicle rises to
the point that the water pressure
inside of the vehicle equals the
water pressure outside of the
vehicle and then open the door
after waiting for the rising water
to enter the vehicle, and exit the
vehicle. When the outside water
level exceeds half the height of
the door, the door cannot be
WARNING
■If the engine has to be turned off while driving
●Power assist for the brakes and
steering wheel will be lost, making the brake pedal harder to depress and the steering wheel heavier to
turn. Decelerate as much as possi- ble before turning off the engine.
●Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: Never attempt to remove the key, as doing so will
lock the steering wheel.
If the vehicle is sub-
merged or water on the
road is rising
This vehicle is not designed to
be able to drive on roads that
are deeply flooded with water.
Do not drive on roads where
the roads may be submerged
or the water may be rising. It is
dangerous to remain in the

When trouble arises
■Electric power steering system
warning light (warning buzzer)
When the battery charge becomes insufficient or the voltage temporarily
drops, the electric power steering sys- tem warning light may come on and the warning buzzer may sound.
■When the tire pressure warning
light comes on
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is punctured.
If a tire is punctured: P.415, 426
If none of the tires are punctured: Turn the engine switch off then turn it to
ON. Check if the tire pressure warning light comes on or blinks.
If the tire pressure warning light blinks
for approximately 1 minute then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the tire
pressure warning system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer immedi- ately.
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on
1 After the temperature of the tires has lowered sufficiently, check the infla-tion pressure of each tire and adjust
them to the specified level.
2 If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have elapsed, check that the inflation
pressure of each tire is at the speci- fied level and perform initialization. ( P.367)
■The tire pressure warning light may
come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes such as
natural air leaks and tire inflation pres- sure changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation
pressure will turn off the warning light (after a few minutes).
■When a tire is replaced with a spare
tire
Vehicles with a compact spare tire: The compact spare tire is not equipped with
a tire pressure warning valve and trans- mitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warning light will not turn off even
though the flat tire has been replaced with the spare tire. Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the
tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will go off after a few min-utes.
Vehicles with a full-size spare tire: The spare tire is also equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.
The tire pressure warning light will turn on if the tire inflation pressure of the spare tire is low. If a tire goes flat, the
tire pressure warning light will not turn off even though the flat tire has been replaced with the spare tire. Replace the
spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will go off after a
few minutes.
■Conditions that the tire pressure warning system may not function properly

WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any autho-rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS
system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or seri-ous injury.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
■When the electric power steer- ing system warning light comes
on
When the light comes on yellow, the assist to the power steering is
restricted. When the light comes on red, the assist to the power steering is lost and handling operations of the
steering wheel become extremely heavy.When steering wheel operations are
heavier than usual, grip the steering wheel firmly and operate it using more force than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following pre- cautions.Failure to do so could cause a loss of
vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire inflation pressure immediately.
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire and full-size spare tire: If the tire
pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure adjustment, it is probable that you
have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, change it with the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired
by the nearest any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Vehicles with emergency tire punc-ture repair kit: If the tire pressure
warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire.
Check the tires. If a tire is flat, repair the flat tire by using emergency tire puncture repair kit.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking.If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you
could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leak-age should occur
The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warn- ing system operates properly
Do not install tires with different speci- fications or makers, as the tire pres-sure warning system may not operate
properly.
