crystal informat ion display. At 
extremely low temperatures, the 
information display monitor may 
respond slowly, and display 
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag 
between the driver’s shifting and 
the new gear number appearing 
on the display. This lag could 
cause the driver to downshift 
again, causing rapid and exces-
sive engine braking and possibly 
an accident resulting in death or 
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the 
engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator needle 
of the tachometer enter the red 
zone, which indicates the maxi-
mum engine speed.

Driving
WARNING
●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.
●Be careful not to shift the shift 
lever with the accelerator pedal 
depressed. Shifting the shift 
lever to any positions 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.
■If you hear a squealing or 
scraping noise (brake pad 
wear 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 or N, the vehicle may 
accelerate suddenly and unex-
pectedly, causing an accident.
●In order to prev ent accidents 
due to the vehicle rolling away, 
always keep depressing the 
brake pedal while the engine is 
running, and apply the parking 
brake as necessary.
●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.
■When the vehicle is parked
●Do not leave glasses, cigarette 
lighters, spray cans, or soft 
drink cans in the vehicle when it 
is in the sun.
Doing so may result in the fol-
lowing:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette  lighter or spray  can, and may 
lead to a fire.
• The temperature inside the  vehicle may cause the plastic 
lenses and plastic material of 
glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture,  causing the contents to spray 
over the interior of the vehicle, 
and may also cause a short cir-
cuit in the vehicle’s electrical 
components.
●Do not leave cigarette lighters in 
the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter 
is in a place such as the glove 
box or on the floor, it may be lit 
accidentally when luggage is 
loaded or the se at is adjusted, 
causing a fire.
●Do not attach adhesive discs to 
the windshield or windows. Do 
not place containers such as air 
fresheners on the instrument 
panel or dashboard. Adhesive 
discs or containers may act as 
lenses, causing a fire in the 
vehicle. 

1264-1. Before driving
WARNING
●Do not leave a door or window 
open if the curved glass is 
coated with a metallized film 
such as a silver-colored one. 
Reflected sunlight may cause 
the glass to act as a lens, caus-
ing a fire.
●Always apply the parking brake, 
shift the shift lever to P, stop the 
engine and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is run-
ning.
If the vehicle is parked with the 
shift lever in P but the parking 
brake is not set, the vehicle may 
start to move, possibly leading 
to an accident.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes 
while the engine is running or 
immediately after turning the 
engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
■When taking a nap in the vehi-
cle
Always turn the engine off. Other-
wise, if you accidentally move the 
shift lever or dep ress the acceler-
ator pedal, this could cause an 
accident or fire due to engine 
overheating. Additionally, if the 
vehicle is parked  in a poorly venti-
lated area, exhaust gases may 
collect and enter the vehicle, lead-
ing to death or a serious health 
hazard.
■When braking
●When the brakes a re wet, drive 
more cautiously.
Braking distance increases 
when the brakes  are wet, and 
this may cause one side of the 
vehicle to brake differently than 
the other side. Also, the parking 
brake may not securely hold the 
vehicle.
●If the brake booster device does 
not operate, do not follow other 
vehicles closely and avoid hills 
or sharp turns t hat require brak-
ing.
In this case, braking is still pos-
sible, but the brake pedal 
should be depressed more 
firmly than usual. Also, the brak-
ing distance will increase. Have 
your brakes fixed immediately.
●Do not pump the brake pedal if 
the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal 
uses up the reserve for the 
power-assisted brakes.
●The brake system consists of 2 
individual hydraulic systems; if 
one of the systems fails, the 
other will still operate. In this 
case, the brake pedal should be 
depressed more firmly than 
usual and the braking distance 
will increase. Have your brakes 
fixed immediately.
■If the vehicle becomes stuck
Do not spin the  wheels exces-
sively when a driven wheel is up 
in the air, or the vehicle is stuck in 
sand, mud, etc. This may damage 
the driveline components or pro-
pel the vehicle forward or back-
ward, causing an accident.
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not depress the accelerator 
and brake pedals at the same 
time during driving, as this may 
restrain the engine 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. 

1444-2. Driving procedures
when the accelerator pedal is 
depressed, release the parking 
brake manually.
When the shift lever is shifted from 
P, the parking brake will be released 
automatically.
■Parking brake automatic lock 
function
The parking brake will be set auto-
matically under the following condi-
tions:
●The brake pedal is not depressed
●The driver’s door is open
●The driver’s seat belt is not fas-
tened
●The shift lever is in a position 
other than P or N
●The malfunction indicator lamp 
and brake system warning light 
are not illuminated
■If “Parking Brake Temporarily 
Unavailable” i s displayed on 
the multi-information display
If the parking brake is operated 
repeatedly over a short period of 
time, the system may  restrict opera-
tion to prevent overheating. If this 
happens, refrain from operating the 
parking brake. Nor mal operation will 
return after about 1 minute.
■If “Parking Brake Unavailable” 
is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
Operate the parking brake switch. If 
the message does not disappear 
after operating the switch several 
times, the system may be malfunc-
tioning. Have the vehicle inspected 
by your Toyota dealer.
■Parking brake operation sound
When the parking brake operates, a 
motor sound (whirring sound) may 
be heard. This does not indicate a 
malfunction.
■Parking brake indicator light
●Depending on the engine switch 
position/mode, the parking brake  indicator light will turn on and stay 
on as described below:
ON: Comes on until the parking 
brake is released.
Not in ON: Stays 
on for approxi-
mately 15 seconds.
●When the engine switch is turned 
off with the parking brake set, the 
parking brake i ndicator light will 
stay on for about 15 seconds. This 
does not indicate a malfunction.
■When the parking brake switch 
malfunctions
Automatic mode (automatic brake 
setting and releas ing) will be turned 
on automatically.
■Parking the vehicle
