■When starting off on a uphill
The hill-start assis t control will acti-
vate. ( P.387)
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully whe n it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced,
the windows may become fogged-
up, and the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully whe n it starts to
rain, because the road surface will
be especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when
driving on an expressway in the
rain, because there may be a
layer of water between the tires
and the road surface, preventing
the steering and brakes from
operating properly.
■Restraining the EV system out-
put (Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake
pedals are depressed at the same
time, the EV system output may
be restrained.
●A warning messag e is displayed
on the multi-information display
while the system is operating.
■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle,
observing the following precautions
is recommended:
●For the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 600 miles (1000 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in
death or serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the
brake pedal while stopped with
the “READY” indica tor is illumi-
nated. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamil-
iar with the location of the brake
and accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the
brake pedal will result in sudden
acceleration that may lead to an
accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a
difficulty in operating the pedals.
Make sure to operate the pedals
properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when mov-
ing the vehicle only slightly. This
allows you to depress the brake
and accelerator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the
brake pedal using your left foot
may delay response in an emer-
gency, resulting in an accident.
●The driver should pay extra
attention to pedestrians. As
there is no engine noise, the
pedestrians may misjudge the
vehicle’s movement. Even
though the vehicle is equipped
with the Acoustic Vehicle Alert-
ing System, driv e with care as
pedestrians in the vicinity may
still not notice the vehicle if the
surrounding area is noisy.

WARNING
■Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
operates under the assumption
that the driver will drive safely,
and is designed to help reduce
the impact to the occupants in a
collision and assist the driver
under normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of
recognition accuracy and control
performance that this system can
provide, do not ov erly rely on this
system. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention to
the vehicle’s surroundings and

PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
The pre-collision system
uses sensors to detect
objects ( P.266) in the path
of the vehicle. When the
system determines that the
possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with a detectable
object is high, a warning
operates to urge the driver
to take evasive action and
the potential brake pressure
is increased to help the
driver avoid the collision. If
the system determines that
the possibility of a collision
is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the
collision or help reduce the
impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can
be disabled/enabled and the
warning timing can be
changed. ( P.275)

2665-4. Using the driving support systems
Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_en
The system can detect the fol-
lowing as detectable objects.
(Detectable objects differ
depending on the function.)
Vehicles
 Bicycles
*
Pedestrians
 Motorcycles
*
*: Detected as a detectable object
only when being ridden.
■Pre-collision warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a collision
is high, a buzzer will sound and
an icon and warning message
will be displayed on the multi-
information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.
If the detectable object is a vehi-
cle, moderate braking will be
performed with the warning.
“Pre-Collision System”
If the system determines that
the accelerator pedal is strongly
depressed, the following icon
and message will be displayed
on the multi-information display.
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the
responsibility of the driver. Pay
careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to
ensure safe driving. Never use
the pre-collision system in place
of normal braking operations.
This system cannot help avoid
or reduce the i mpact of a colli-
sion in every si tuation. Over-
reliance on this system to drive
the vehicle safely may lead to
an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Although the pr e-collision sys-
tem is designed to help avoid or
help reduce the im pact of a col-
lision, its effectiveness may
change according to various
conditions. Therefore, it may not
always be able to achieve the
same level of performance.
Read the followi ng items care-
fully. Do not overl y rely on this
system and always drive care-
fully.

WARNING
■Before using the LTA system
●Do not overly rely on the LTA
system. The LTA system is not a
system which provides auto-
mated assistance in driving and
it is not a system which reduces
the amount of attention neces-
sary for safe drivi ng. The driver
is solely responsible for paying
attention to their surroundings
and operating the steering
wheel as necessary to ensure
safety. Also, the driver is
responsible for taking adequate
breaks when fatigued, such as
when driving for a long time.
●Failure to perform appropriate
driving operations and pay care-
ful attention may lead to an
accident.
●When not using the LTA system,
turn it off using the LTA switch.
