Driving the vehicle
The following procedures 
should be observed to 
ensure safe driving:
Driving procedure 

1444-1. Before driving
■Engine speed while driving
In the following  conditions, the 
engine speed may become high 
while driving. This is due to auto-
matic up-shifting control or 
down-shifting implementation to 
meet driving conditions. It does not 
indicate sudden acceleration.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving 
uphill or downhill
●When the accelerator pedal is 
released
●When the brake pedal is 
depressed while sport mode is 
selected (if equipped)
■Restraining the engine output 
(Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake 
pedals are depressed at the same 
time, the engine 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 186  miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 621  miles (1000 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high 
speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low  gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed  for extended periods.
■Operating your vehicle in a for-
eign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle 
registration laws and confirm the 
availability of the correct fuel. 
(  P.393)
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in 
death or serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the 
brake pedal while stopped with 
the engine running. 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.
●Do not drive the vehicle over or 
stop the vehicle near flammable 
materials.
The exhaust system and 
exhaust gases can be 
extremely hot. These hot parts 
may cause a fire i f there is any 
flammable material nearby.
