4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
●The accelerator pedal is not
depressed
●The parking brake is not engaged
●Engine switch is turned to ON
■Automatic system cancelation of hill-start assist control
The hill-start assist control will turn off in any of the following situations:
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: The shift lever is shifted to P or N.
●Vehicles with a manual transmission: The shift lever is shifted to R when starting off forward on an upward
incline, or the shift lever is shifted to other than R when starting off back-ward on an upward incline.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed
●The parking brake is engaged
●2 seconds at maximum elapsed after
the brake pedal is released
●Engine switch is turned to OFF
■Sounds and vibrations caused by
the ABS, brake assist, VSC, Trailer Sway Control, TRC and hill-start assist control systems
●A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake
pedal is depressed repeatedly, when the engine is started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound
does not indicate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are operating. None of these indicates
that a malfunction has occurred. • Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also after the vehicle comes to a stop.• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly
after the ABS is activated. • The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
■Active Cornering Assist operation
sounds and vibrations
When the Active Cornering Assist is
operated, operation sounds and vibra-
tions may be generated from the brake system, but this is not a malfunction.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a
motor sound (whirring sound) may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunc-tion.
■Automatic reactivation of TRC,
Trailer Sway Control and VSC sys- tems
After turning the TRC, Trailer Sway Con-
trol and VSC systems off, the systems will be automatically re-enabled in the following situations:
●When the engine switch is turned off
●If only the TRC system is turned off, the TRC will turn on when vehicle speed increases.
If both the TRC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic re-enabling will not occur when vehicle speed
increases.
■Operating conditions of Active Cor- nering Assist
The system operates when the following
occurs.
●TRC/VSC can operate
●The driver is attempting to accelerate while turning
●The system detects that the vehicle is drifting to the outer side
●The brake pedal is released
■Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from overheating when there is frequent
steering input over an extended period of time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur,
refrain from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the engine off. The EPS system should return to nor-
mal within 10 minutes.

4-6. Driving tips
Perform the following according to
the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a win-
dow or move a wiper that is fro-
zen. Pour warm water over the
frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe
away the water immediately to
prevent it from freezing.
To ensure proper operation of
the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accu-
mulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
Check for and remove any
excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the exte-
rior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis,
around the tires or on the brakes.
Remove any snow or mud from
the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep
a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a
reduced speed suitable to road
conditions.
Park the vehicle and shift the
shift lever to P (Multidrive), or 1
or R (manual transmission) with-
out setting the parking brake.
The parking brake may freeze
up, preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is parked
without setting the parking brake,
make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be danger-
ous because it may cause the
vehicle to move unexpectedly,
possibly leading to an accident.
Vehicles with a Multidrive: If the
vehicle is parked without setting
the parking brake, confirm that
the shift lever cannot be moved
out of P*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is
attempted to be shifted from P to any
other position without depressing the
brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a prob-
lem with the shift lock system. Have
the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer
or legitimate tire retailers immedi-
ately.
Use the correct tire chain size when
mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each tire
size.

emergency repair with the repair kit
impossible.
• A tire should only be repaired
with the emergency tire puncture
repair kit if the damage is caused
by a nail or screw passing
through the tire tread.
• To avoid sealant leakage, move
the vehicle until the area of the
puncture, if known, is positioned
at the top of the tire.

the wheel
●When the cut or damage to the tread
is 4 mm (0.16 in.) long or more
●When the wheel is damaged
●When two or more tires have been punctured
●When more than 2 sharp objects such as nails or screws have passed
through the tread on a single tire
●When the sealant has expired
