WARNING
■The information display at low  
temperatures 
Allow the interior of the vehicle to  warm up before using the liquid crys- 
tal information display. At extremely  low temperatures, the information dis-play monitor may respond slowly, and  
display changes may be delayed. 
For example, there is a lag between  
the driver’s shifting and the new gear  number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to  
downshift again, causing rapid and  excessive engine braking and possi-bly an accident resulting in death or  
injury.

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
Driving
WARNING
●Always apply the parking brake,  shift the shift lever to P (vehicles  
with a Multidrive), stop the engine  and lock the vehicle.Do not leave the vehicle unat- 
tended while the engine is running. If the vehicle is parked with the shift lever in P but the parking brake is  
not set, the vehicle may start to  move, possibly leading to an acci-dent.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or  
immediately after turning the engine  off.Doing so may cause burns.
■When taking a nap in the vehicle 
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise,  
if you accidentally move the shift lever  or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to  
engine overheating. Additionally, if the  vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and  
enter the vehicle, leading to death or  a serious health hazard.
■When braking
●When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously. 
Braking distance increases when  the brakes are wet, and this may cause one side of the vehicle to  
brake differently than the other  side. Also, the parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
●If the brake booster device does not operate, do not follow other vehi- 
cles closely and avoid hills or sharp  turns that require braking.In this case, braking is still possible,  
but the brake pedal should be  depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will  
increase. Have your brakes fixed  immediately.
●Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.Each push on the brake pedal uses  
up the reserve for the power- assisted brakes.
●The brake system consists of 2 indi-vidual hydraulic systems; if one of the systems fails, the other will still  
operate. In this case, the brake  pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking  
distance will increase. Have your  brakes fixed immediately.
■If the vehicle becomes stuck 
Do not spin the wheels excessively  when a driven wheel is up in the air,  
or the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud,  etc. This may damage the driveline components or propel the vehicle for- 
ward or backward, causing an acci- dent.
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle (vehi- 
cles with a Multidrive)
●Do not depress the accelerator and  brake pedals at the same time  
during driving, as this may restrain  the engine output.
●Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time to hold the  
vehicle on a hill.
■When driving the vehicle (vehi-
cles with a manual transmission)
●Do not depress the accelerator and  brake pedals at the same time  
during driving, as this may restrain  the engine output.
●Do not shift gears unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed. After shift-ing, do not release the clutch pedal  
abruptly. Doing so may damage the  clutch, transmission and gears.

4-1. Before driving
Driving
■Sudden acceleration/steering  
input/cornering 
Executing sharp turns when towing  
may result in the trailer colliding  
with your vehicle. Decelerate well in  
advance when approaching turns  
and take them slowly and carefully  
to avoid sudden braking.
■Important points regarding  
turning 
The wheels of the trailer will travel  
closer to the inside of the curve  
than the wheels of the vehicle. To  
make allowance for this, take the  
turns wider than you would nor- 
mally do.
■Important points regarding 
stability 
Vehicle movement resulting from  
uneven road surfaces and strong 
crosswinds will affect handling. The  
vehicle may also be rocked by  
passing buses or large trucks. Fre- 
quently check behind when moving  
alongside such vehicles. As soon  
as such vehicle movement occurs,  
immediately start to decelerate  
smoothly by slowly applying the  
brakes. Always steer the vehicle  
straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles 
Consider the total combined length  
of your vehicle and trailer and  
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle  
distance is sufficient before execut- 
ing lane changes.
■Transmission information
Multidrive 
To maintain engine braking effi- 
ciency and charging system perfor- 
mance when using engine braking,  
do not use the transmission in D,  
must be in M and select gear step 4  
or lower. ( P.179)
Manual transmission 
Refrain from driving in 6th gear to  
maintain the effectiveness of  
engine braking and to maintain  
charging system performance.
■If the engine overheats 
Towing a loaded trailer up a long,  
steep incline in temperatures  
exceeding 30°C (85°F) may result  
in the engine overheating. If the  
engine coolant temperature gauge  
indicates that the engine is over- 
heating, turn the air conditioning off  
immediately, leave the road and  
stop the vehicle in a safe place.  
( P.442)
■When parking the vehicle 
Always place wheel chocks under  
the wheels of both the vehicle and  
trailer. Firmly set the parking brake  
and shift the shift lever to P (Multid- 
rive) and 1 or R (manual transmis- 
sion).

WARNING
■When starting the engine 
Always start the engine while sitting in  
the driver’s seat. Do not depress the  accelerator pedal while starting the engine under any circum- 
stances.Doing so may cause an acci- dent resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When starting the engine
●Do not crank the engine for more  
than 30 seconds at a time. This  may overheat the starter and wiring system.
●Do not race a cold engine.
●If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehicle checked by any authorized  
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized  repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
