First, check whether the brake pedal is  
being depressed. If the shift lever cannot be shifted with your foot on the brake pedal, there may  
be a problem with the shift lock system.  Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota  
authorized repairer, or any reliable  repairer immediately.The following steps may be used as an  
emergency measure to ensure that the  shift lever can be shifted.Releasing the shift lock: 
1 Set the parking brake. 
2 Turn the engine switch off. 
3 Depress the brake pedal.

screwdriver or equivalent tool. To prevent damaging the cover, wrap the tip of the flathead screw- 
driver with a tape.

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.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of  the system 
Do not overly rely on the system, as  doing so may lead to an accident. 
Always drive while checking the  
safety of the surroundings of the vehi- cle. 
Depending on the vehicle and road  
conditions, weather, etc., the system  may not operate. 
The detection capabilities of sensors  
and radars are limited. Always drive  while checking the safety of the sur-roundings of the vehicle.
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully,  
taking care to observe your sur- roundings. The Parking Support Brake system is designed to pro- 
vide support to lessen the severity  of collisions. However, it may not operate in some situations.
●The Parking Support Brake system is not designed to stop the vehicle  
completely. Additionally, even if the  system has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary to depress the brake  
pedal immediately as brake control  will be canceled after approximately 2 seconds.
●It is extremely dangerous to check the system operations by intention- 
ally driving the vehicle into the  direction of a wall, etc. Never attempt such actions.
■When to disable the Parking Sup-port Brake 
In the following situations, disable the  Parking Support Brake as the system may operate even though there is no  
possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using 
a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or  free roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a boat, truck or other transport vessel
●If the suspension has been modi-fied or tires of a size other than specified are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a tow- 
ing eyelet, bumper protector (an  additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●When using automatic car washing devices
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the  
vehicle has been in an accident or  is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When a tire chains, compact spare  
tire or an emergency tire puncture  repair kit is used
NOTICE
■If “PKSB Unavailable” is dis- 
played on the multi-information  display and the PKSB OFF indi-cator is on 
If this message is displayed immedi- ately after the engine switch is changed to ON, operate the vehicle  
carefully, paying attention to your sur- roundings. It may be necessary to drive the vehicle for a certain amount  
of time before the system returns to  normal. (If the system is not return to normal after driving for a while, clean  
the sensors and their surrounding  area on the bumpers.)

■Does your vehicle need repairs? 
Be on the alert for changes in perfor- mance and sounds, and visual tip-offs  
that indicate service is needed. Some  important clues are:
●Engine misses (misfire), stumbling or pinging
●Appreciable loss of power
●Strange engine noises
●A fluid leak under the vehicle (How-ever, water dripping from the air con- 
ditioning system after use is normal.)
●Change in exhaust sound (This may 
indicate a dangerous carbon monox- ide leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system checked  
immediately.)
●Flat-looking tires, excessive tire 
squeal when cornering, uneven tire  wear
●Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road
●Strange noises related to suspension movement
●Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal (vehicles with a manual transmission),  
pedal almost touches the floor, vehicle  pulls to one side when braking
●Engine coolant temperature continu-ally higher than normal ( P.85, 89) 
If you notice any of these clues, take  
your vehicle to any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or 
any reliable repairer as soon as possi-
ble. Your vehicle may need adjustment 
or repair.
