4-1. Before driving
●The vehicle is judged to be driving
uphill or downhill
●When the accelerator pedal is
released
●When the brake pedal is depressed
while power mode is selected
■Restraining the engine output (Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake ped-als are depressed at the same time, the engine output may be restrained.
●A warning message is displayed on the multi-information display while the
system is operating.
■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observ- ing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
●For the first 300 km (186 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 800 km (500 miles):
Do not tow a trailer.
●For the first 1000 km (621 miles): • Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration. • Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
■Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle regis- tration laws and confirm the availability of the correct fuel. ( P.450)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle (vehi-cles with a Multidrive)
Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
■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.

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.

WARNING
■Trailer towing precautions
When towing, make sure that none of
the weight limits are exceeded. ( P.167)
■Vehicle speed in towing
Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer towing.
■Before descending hills or long declines
Reduce speed and downshift. How- ever, never downshift suddenly while descending steep or long downhill
grades.
■Operation of the brake pedal
Do not hold the brake pedal depressed often or for long periods of time. Doing so may result in the brake
overheating or reduce braking effects.
■To avoid accident or injury
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire: Do not tow a trailer when the com-pact spare tire is installed on your
vehicle.
●Vehicles with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit: Do not tow a trailer when the tire installed is repaired with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit.
●Vehicles with a Dynamic radar
cruise control: Do not use dynamic radar cruise control when you are towing.
NOTICE
■Do not directly splice trailer lights
Directly splicing trailer lights may damage your vehicle’s electrical sys-tem and cause a malfunction.
