●The surface of the seats with the 
SRS side airbag is scratched, 
cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●The portion of the front pillars, rear 
pillars or roof side rail garnishes 
(padding) containing the SRS cur-
tain shield airbags inside is 
scratched, cracked, or otherwise 
damaged.
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions 
regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death 
or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in 
the vehicle must wear their seat 
belts properly.
The SRS airbags are supple-
mental devices t o be used with 
the seat belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys 
with considerable force, and 
can cause death or serious 
injury especially if the driver is 
very close to the airbag. The 
National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA) 
advises:
Since the risk zone for the driver’s 
airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 
mm) of inflation, placing yourself 
10 in. (250 mm) from your driver 
airbag provides you with a clear 
margin of safety. This distance is 
measured from the center of the 
steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If you sit less than 10 in. 
(250 mm) away now, you can 
change your driving position in 
several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as  far as you can while still reach-
ing the pedals comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the  seat.
Although vehicle designs vary, 
many drivers can achieve the 
10 in. (250 mm) distance, even 
with the driver seat all the way 
forward, simply by reclining the 
back of the seat somewhat. If 
reclining the back of your seat 
makes it hard to see the road, 
raise yourself by using a firm, 
non-slippery cushion, or raise 
the seat if your vehicle has that 
feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjust- able, tilt it downward. This 
points the airbag toward your 
chest instead of your head and 
neck.
The seat should be adjusted as 
recommended by NHTSA above, 
while still maintaining control of 
the foot pedals, steering wheel, 
and your view of the instrument 
panel controls. 

1244-1. Before driving
WARNING
●During normal driving, do not 
turn off the engine. Turning the 
engine off while driving will not 
cause loss of steering or brak-
ing control, but the power assist 
to these systems will be lost. 
This will make it more difficult to 
steer and brake, so you should 
pull over and stop the vehicle as 
soon as it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an 
emergency, such as if it 
becomes impossible to stop the 
vehicle in the normal way: 
P. 3 1 2
●Use engine braking (downshift) 
to maintain a safe speed when 
driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously 
may cause the brakes to over-
heat and lose effectiveness. 
(
P.137)
●Do not adjust the positions of 
the steering wheel, the seat, or 
the inside or outside rear view 
mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of 
vehicle control.
●Always check that all passen-
gers’ arms, heads or other parts 
of their body are not outside the 
vehicle.
●Do not drive in excess of the 
speed limit. Even if the legal 
speed limit permits it, do not 
drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) 
unless your vehicle has 
high-speed capabilit y tires. Driv-
ing over 85 mp h (140 km/h) 
may result in tire failure, loss of 
control and possible injury. Be 
sure to consult a tire dealer to 
determine whether the tires on 
your vehicle are high-speed 
capability tires or not before 
driving at such speeds.
■When driving on slippery 
road surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration 
and steering may cause tire 
slippage and reduce your ability 
to control the vehicle.
●Sudden acceleration, engine 
braking due to shifting, or 
changes in engine speed could 
cause the vehicle to skid.
●After driving through a puddle, 
lightly depress the brake pedal 
to make sure that the brakes 
are functioning properly. Wet 
brake pads may prevent the 
brakes from functioning prop-
erly. If the brakes on only one 
side are wet and not functioning 
properly, steering control may 
be affected.
■When shifting the shift lever
●Do not let the vehicle roll back-
ward while a fo rward driving 
position is selected, or roll for-
ward while the shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine 
to stall or lead to poor brake and 
steering performance, resulting 
in an accident or damage to the 
vehicle.
●Do not shift the sh ift 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 sh ift 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.
●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.

NOTICE
■When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake and 
shift the shift lever to P. Failure to 
do so may cause the vehicle to 
move or the vehi cle may acceler-
ate suddenly if the accelerator 
pedal is accidentally depressed.
■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.

■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:
●Engine stalling
●Short in electrical components
●Engine damage caused by 
water immersion
In the event that you drive on a 
flooded road and the vehicle 
becomes flooded or stuck in mud 
or sand, be sure to have your Toy-
ota dealer check the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in the quantity and 
quality of the engine oil, tran-
saxle fluid, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the bear-
ings and suspension joints 
(where possible), and the func-
tion of all joints, bearings, etc.

●The headlights may change to the 
low beams if a vehicle ahead that 
is using fog lights without its head-
lights turned on is detected.
●House lights, street lights, traffic 
signals, and illuminated billboards 
or signs may cause the high 
beams to change to the low 
beams, or the low beams to

The pre-collision setting can 
be changed on the customize 
settings. ( P.391)
 When the pre-collision warn-
ing timing is changed, the 
emergency steering assist 
(excluding the active steering 
function) timing will also be 
changed.
When "Later" is selected, the 
emergency steering assist 
(excluding the active steering 
function) 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 this function only on highways 
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.

■Temporary cancelation of func-
tions
●When the operating conditions are 
no longer met, a function may be 
temporarily canceled. However, 
when the operation conditions are 
met again, operation of the func-
tion will automatically be restored. 
(  P.178)
●If the operating conditions of a 
function are no longer met while 
the function is operating, a buzzer 
may sound to indicate that the 
function has been temporarily 
canceled.
●The steering assist operation of 
the function can be overridden by 
the steering wheel operation of 
the driver.
■Lane departure warning func-
tion when the LTA is operating
●Even if the LDA warning method is 
changed to vibration of the steer-
ing wheel, if the vehicle deviates  from the lane while the LTA is 
operating, the warning buzzer will 
sound to aler
t the driver.
●If steering wheel operation equiv-
alent to that necessary for a lane 
change is detected, the system 
will determine the vehicle is not 
deviating from the lane and the 
warning will not operate.
■Hands off steering wheel warn-
ing operation
In the following si tuations, a mes-
sage urging the driver to grip the 
steering wheel and the icon shown 
in the illustration will be displayed on 
the multi-information display to warn 
the driver. If the system detects that 
the steering wheel is held, the warn-
ing will be canceled. When using the 
system, make sure to grip the steer-
ing wheel firmly, regardless of 
whether the warning is operating or 
not.
●When the system determines the 
driver is not hold ing the steering 
wheel while the function is operat-
ing
If no operations are detected for a 
certain amount of time, a buzzer will 
sound, the warning  will operate, and 
the function will be  temporarily can-
celed. This warnin g may also oper-
ate if the driver only operates
