WARNING
■Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspensio n will affect
the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfuncti on.
■ Trailer Sway Control precaution
The Trailer Sway Control system is not able to reduce trailer s way in all situ-
ations.
Depending on many factors such as the conditions of the vehicle , trailer,
road surface and driving environm ent, the Trailer Sway Control system may
not be effective. Refer to your trailer owner’s manual for info rmation on how
to tow your trailer properly.
■ If trailer sway occurs
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● Firmly grip the steering wheel. Steer straight ahead.
Do not try to control trailer sway by turning the steering whee l.
● Begin releasing the accelerator pedal immediately but very gradually to
reduce speed.
Do not increase speed. Do not apply vehicle brakes.
If you make no extreme correction with the steering or brakes, your vehicle
and trailer should stabilize. ( P. 299)

5424-6. Driving tips
C-HR_HEV_OM_Europe_OM10764E
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to roa d con-
ditions.
● Park the vehicle and shift the shift lever to P and block the wheel
under the vehicle without setting the parking brake. The parkin g
brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released. If the vehi-
cle is parked without setting the parking brake, make sure to b lock
the wheels. Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may
cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an
accident.
● If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, confirm
that the shift lever cannot be moved out of P*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifte d from P to any
other position without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a problem with the shift lock syst em. Have the
vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota a uthorized
repairer, or any reliabl e repairer immediately.

applying warm water.
● Deep scratches caused by keys, coins, etc., cannot be restored.
● Do not use wax that contain abrasives.
