1364-1. Before driving
WARNING
●Vehicles with an automatic
transmission: Do not shift the
shift lever to P while the vehicle
is moving.
Doing so can damage the trans-
mission and may result in a loss
of vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift lever to a
driving position while the vehicle
is moving backward.
Doing so can damage the trans-
mission and may result in a loss
of vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R
while the vehicle is moving for-
ward.
Doing so can damage the trans-
mission and may result in a loss
of vehicle control.
●Moving the shift lever to N while
the vehicle is moving will disen-
gage the engine from the trans-
mission. Engine braking is not
available when N is selected.
●Vehicles with an automatic
transmission: Be careful not to
shift the shift lever with the
accelerator pedal depressed.
Shifting the shift lever to a gear
other than P or N may lead to
unexpected rapid acceleration
of the vehicle that may cause an
accident and result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not place items in the shift
lever's surrounding area. It may
cause incorrect operation.
●If the shift boot is pulled out
during cleaning, return it to its
previous position. If the shift
boot is left pulled out, the shift
lever may become difficult to
operate.
■If you hear a squealing or
scraping noise (brake pad
wear limit indicators)
Have the brake pads checked and
replaced by your Toyota dealer 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 (automatic transmis-
sion) or N, the vehicle may
accelerate suddenly and unex-
pectedly, causing an accident.
●Vehicles with an automatic
transmission: In order to pre-
vent accidents due to the vehi-
cle rolling away, always keep
depressing the brake pedal
while the engine is running, and
apply the parking brake as nec-
essary.
●If the vehicle is stopped on an
incline, in order to prevent acci-
dents caused by the vehicle roll-
ing 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 overheat, which could
result in a fire if combustible
material is nearby.

WARNING
●Ordinary roads (roads other
than those mentioned above)
• Depending on the driving envi- ronment (complexity of roads
and other factors), the system
may not be able to perform as
the traffic conditions require,
and that may result in an acci-
dent.
●Sharp curves or winding roads
●Frozen roads, snow-covered
roads or other slippery road sur-
faces
• The tires may spin, causing loss of control of the vehicle.
●Traffic conditions when fre-
quent acceleration and deceler-
ation make it difficult to maintain
the following distance
• It may not be po ssible for the
system to perform as the traffic
conditions require.
●Steep downhill grades
• The set vehicle speed may be exceeded.
●On a steep continuous downhill
grade
• The brakes may overheat.
●Roads and overpasses with
repeated steep uphill and down-
hill grades
• Detection of the vehicle in front may be lost, or the road surface
may be detected instead of the
vehicle in front, making correct
control impossible.
●Entering a sharp curve/turn into
an interchange or junction, or a
service area, parking area, toll
booth or other facilities
• Detection of the vehicle in front may not be possible.
●There are changes in bright-
ness, such as at a tunnel
entrance or exit.

2906-1. Maintenance and care
NOTICE
• If liquids such as benzene and gasoline are spilled on the paint
surface
●If the paint is chipped or
scratched, have it repaired
immediately.
●To prevent the wheels from cor-
roding, remove any dirt and
store in a place with low humid-
ity when storing the wheels.
■Protective film for side sill
plates (if equipped)
Make sure to remove the protec-
tive film. Failure to do so may
cause rust, depending on condi-
tions.
■Cleaning the exterior lights
●Wash carefully. Do not use
organic substances or scrub
with a hard brush. This may
damage the surfaces of the
lights.
●Do not apply wax to the sur-
faces of the lights.
Wax may cause damage to the
lenses.
■To prevent damage to the
windshield wiper arms
When lifting the wiper arms away
from the windshield, pull the driver
side wiper arm upward first, and
repeat for the passenger side.
When returning the wipers to their
original position, do so from the
passenger side first.
■When using a high pressure
car wash
●When washing the vehicle, do
not spray the came ra or its sur-
rounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. Shock
applied from high pressure
water may cause the device to
not operate normally.
●Do not bring the nozzle tip close
to boots (rubber or resin manu-
factured cover), connectors or
the following parts. The parts
may be damaged if they come
into contact with high-pressure
water.
• Traction related parts
• Suspension parts
• Steering parts
• Brake parts
●Keep the cleaning nozzle at
least 11.9 in. (30 cm) away from
the vehicle body. Otherwise
resin section, s uch as moldings
and bumpers, may be deformed
and damaged.
Also, do not continuously hold the
nozzle in the same place.
●Do not spray the lower part of
the windshield continuously.
If water enters the air conditioning
system intake located near the
lower part of the windshield, the
air conditioning system may not
operate correctly.
●Do not wash the underside of
the vehicle using a high pres-
sure car washer.
