When the following unusual
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not depress t he accelerator
and brake pedals at the same
time during drivin g, as this may
restrain the EV system output.
●Do not use the accelerator
pedal or depress the accelera-
tor and brake pedals at the
same time to hold the vehicle on
a hill.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle
parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel
fully in either direction and hold
it there for an extended period
of time.
Doing so may damage the
power steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the
road, drive as slowly as possible
to avoid damagi ng the wheels,
underside of the vehicle, etc.
■If you get a flat tire while driv-
ing
A flat or damaged tire may cause
the following situations. Hold the
steering wheel firmly and gradu-
ally depress the brake pedal to
slow down the vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your
vehicle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal
sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnor-
mally.
Information on what to do in case
of a flat tire ( P.527)
■When encountering flooded
roads
Do not drive on a road that has
flooded after heavy rain, etc.
Doing so may cause the following
serious damage to the vehicle:
●Short in electrical components
●Traction battery caused by
water immersion
In the event that you drive on a
flooded road and the vehicle is
flooded, be sure to have your Toy-
ota dealer check the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in quantity and quality
of transmission fluid, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the bear-
ings and suspension joints
(where possible), and the func-
tion of all joints, bearings, etc.
●Components connected to the
traction battery.
If the shift control system is dam-
aged by flooding, it may not be
possible to shift the shift position
to P, or from P to other positions.
In this case, contact your Toyota
dealer.
■When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake, and
shift the shift position to P. Failure
to do so may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehicle may acceler-
ate suddenly if t he accelerator
pedal is accidentally depressed.
■When involved in a minor
accident
Damage to the traction battery or
battery peripheral components
could cause malfunctions. Even if
it is a minor accident, have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.

WARNING
■Stopping the EV system in an
emergency
●If you want to stop the EV sys-
tem in an emergency while driv-
ing the vehicle, press and hold
the power switch for more than
2 seconds, or press it briefly 3
times or more in succession.
( P.505)
However, do not touch the
power switch while driving
except in an emergency. Turn-
ing the EV system off while driv-
ing will not cause a loss of
steering or braking control.
However, power assist for the
steering wheel may be lost mak-
ing it difficult to steer smoothly
before stopping the vehicle
depending on the remaining
charge in the 12-volt battery or
usage conditions. In this situa-
tion, you should pull over and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
●If the power switch is operated
while the vehicle is running, a
warning message will be shown
on the multi-info rmation display
and a buzzer sounds.
●When restarting the EV system
after an emergency shutdown,
press the power switch shortly
and firmly.
■When parking
Exhaust gases include harmful
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Observe
the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause
exhaust gases to enter the vehicle
and may lead to an accident
caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-
lated area or a closed area,
such as a garage, stop the EV
system.
●Do not leave the vehicle with
the EV system operating for a
long time. If such a situation
cannot be avoided, park the
vehicle in an open space and
ensure that exhaust fumes do
not enter the vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the EV system
operating in an area with snow
build-up, or where it is snowing.
If snowbanks build up around
the vehicle while the EV system
is operating, exhaust gases
may collect and enter the vehi-
cle.

signals, and illuminated billboards
or signs may cause the high

“Pre-Collision System OFF”
 The pre-collision setting can
be changed on the customize
settings. ( P.572)
 When the pre-collision warn-
ing timing is changed, the
emergency steering assist
timing will also be changed.
When “Later” is selected, the
emergency steering assist will
not operate in most cases.
 When the dynamic radar
cruise control is operating, the
pre-collision warning will
operate at the “Earlier” timing,
regardless of the user setting. 
When driving on a road with
clear lane lines with the
dynamic radar cruise control
operating, lane lines and pre-
ceding and surrounding vehi-
cles are detected using the
front camera and radar sen-
sor, and the steering wheel is
operated to maintain the vehi-
cle’s lane position.
Use the this function only on high-
ways and expressways.
If the dynamic radar cruise control
is not operating, the function will not
operate.
In situations where the lane lines
are difficult to see or are not visible,
such as when in a traffic jam, sup-
port will be provided using the path
of preceding and surrounding vehi-
cles.
If the system determines that the
steering wheel has not been oper-
ated for a certain amount of time or
the steering wheel is not being
firmly gripped, the driver will be
alerted via a display and this func-
tion will be temporarily canceled.
If the steering wheel is firmly
gripped, the func tion will begin
operating again.
