4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
• When driving on roads with sharp
bends, consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces• When vehicle lanes are wide, or when
driving on the edge of a lane, and the vehicle in an adjacent lane is far away from your vehicle
• When towing a trailer • When an accessory (such as a bicycle carrier) is installed to the rear of the
vehicle • When there is a significant difference in height between your vehicle and
the vehicle that enters the detection area• Immediately after the Blind Spot Moni-
tor is turned on
●Instances of the Blind Spot Monitor
unnecessarily detecting a vehicle and/or object may increase in the fol-lowing situations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its surrounding area
• When the distance between your vehi- cle and a guardrail, wall, etc., that enters the detection area is short
• When driving up and down consecu- tive steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the road, etc.
• When vehicle lanes are narrow, or when driving on the edge of a lane, and a vehicle traveling in a lane other
than the adjacent lanes enters the detection area• When driving on roads with sharp
bends, consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces• When the tires are slipping or spinning
• When the distance between your vehi- cle and a following vehicle is short• When an accessory (such as a bicycle
carrier) is installed to the rear of the vehicle

When the sensors detect an object,
such as a wall, a graphic is shown
on the multi-information display

Toyota parking assist-
sensor*
The distance from your vehicle
to objects, such as a wall,
when parallel parking or
maneuvering into a garage is
measured by the sensors and
communicated via the multi-
information display and a
buzzer. Always check the sur-
rounding area when using this
system.

4-6. Driving tips
Regulations regarding the use of
tire chains vary depending on loca-
tion and type of road. Always check
local regulations before installing
chains.
■Tire chain installation
Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains:
●Install and remove tire chains in a safe location.
●Install tire chains on the front tires only. Do not install tire chains on the
rear tires.
●Install tire chains on the front tires as
tightly as possible. Retighten chains after driving 0.5 1.0 km (1/41/2 mile).
●Install tire chains following the instruc-tions provided with the tire chains.
Regulations on the use of
tire chains
NOTICE
■Fitting tire chains
The tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters may not function cor- rectly when tire chains are fitted.

To equalize tire wear and help extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that tire
rotation is carried out approximately
every 10000 km (6000 miles).
When rotating front and rear tires which
have different tire inflation pressures,
do not fail to initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire rotation.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure warning system that uses
tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters to detect low tire infla-
tion pressure before serious prob-
lems arise.
The tire pressure warning system
of this vehicle adopts a 2-type
warning system.
When “Adjust Pressure” is dis-
played (Normal Warning)
A warning with the tire pressure warn-
ing light and warning buzzer when
there is an unknown level of low tire
pressure with the appearance of the tire
due to natural air leakage as well as the
pressure lowering due to changes in
the pressure according to the outside
temperature. (Ways of coping: P.381,
427)
When “Immediately Check tire
when Safe” is displayed (Emer-
gency Warning)
A warning with the tire pressure warn-
ing light and warning buzzer when
there is a known level of low tire pres-
NOTICE
■If tire inflation pressure of each tire becomes low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or potholes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the cushioning ability of the tires. In addi-
tion, driving on rough roads may cause damage to the tires them-selves, as well as the vehicle’s
wheels and body.

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
When replacing wheels, care
should be taken to ensure that they
are equivalent to those removed in
load capacity, diameter, rim width
and inset*.
Replacement wheels are available
at any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
*: Conventionally referred to as offset.
Toyota does not recommend using
the following:
Wheels of different sizes or types
Used wheels
Bent wheels that have been
straightened
■When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire
inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be
installed. ( P.336)
■When removing the wheel orna-
ment (vehicles with a wheel cap clip)
Remove the wheel ornament using the
wheel cap clip*.*: The wheel cap clip is installed in the
glove box. ( P.298)
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or
heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire
may separate from the wheel
or cause a loss of handling
control.
Wheel selection
WARNING
■When replacing wheels
●Do not use wheels that are a differ- ent size from those recommended in the Owner’s Manual, as this may
result in a loss of handling control.
●Never use an inner tube in a leak-
ing wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire.Doing so may result in an accident,
causing death or serious injury.
■When installing the wheel nuts
●Be sure to install the wheel nuts with the tapered ends facing inward ( P.402). Installing the nuts with
the tapered ends facing outward can cause the wheel to break and eventually cause the wheel to come
off while driving, which could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
The following may indicate a prob-
lem with your transmission. Contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer or commercial tow-
ing service before towing.
The hybrid system warning mes-
sage is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display and the vehicle
does not move.
The vehicle makes an abnormal
sound.
From the front
Release the parking brake.
Turn automatic mode off. ( P.185)
From the rear
Use a towing dolly under the front
wheels.
When using a flat-bed truck to
transport the vehicle, use tire strap-
ping belts. Refer to the owner’s
manual of the flat-bed truck for the
tire strapping method.
In order to suppress vehicle move-
ment during transportation, set the
parking brake and turn the power
switch off.

■Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasion-
ally. The expiry date is shown on the bottle. Do not use sealant whose expiry date
has already passed. Otherwise, repairs conducted using the emergency tire puncture repair kit may not be per-
formed properly.
■Emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The emergency tire puncture repair kit
is for filling the car tire with air.
●The sealant has a limited life span.
The expiry date is marked on the bot- tle. The sealant should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for replacement.
●The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used
only once to temporarily repair a sin- gle tire. If the sealant has been used and needs to be replaced, purchase a
new bottle at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The compres-
sor is reusable.
●The sealant can be used when the
outside temperature is from -30°C (- 22°F) to 60°C (140°F).
●The kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires originally installed on your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that
a different size than the original ones, or for any other purposes.
●If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may stain.
●If the sealant adheres to a wheel or the surface of the vehicle body, the stain may not be removable if it is not
cleaned at once. Immediately wipe away the sealant with a wet cloth.
●During operation of the repair kit, a loud operation noise is produced. This does not indicate a malfunction.
●Do not use to check or to adjust the tire pressure.
WARNING
■Caution while driving
●Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment.
Injuries may result in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
