accelerator pedal depressed,
the hybrid system output may be
restrained.
When the shift position is
shifted to R
*.
 When the shift position is
shifted from P or R to forward
drive shift position such as D
*.
When the system operates, a mes-
sage appears on the multi-informa-
tion display. Read the message
and follow the instruction.
*: Depending on the situation, the
shift position may not be
changed.
■Drive-Start Control (DSC)
●When the TRAC is turned off
( P.425), sudden start restraint
control also does not operate. If
your vehicle have trouble escap-
ing from the mud or fresh snow
NOTICE
■If you get a flat tire while driv-
ing

of a flat tire ( P.574)
■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 is
flooded, be sure to have your
Toyota dealer check the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in quantity and quality
of oil and fluid used for the
engine, transmission, tran-
saxle, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the bear-
ings and suspension joints
(where possible), and the func-
tion of all joints, bearings, etc.
If the shift control system is dam-
aged by flooding, it may not be
possible to shift the shift position
to P, or from P to other positions.
In this case, contact your Toyota
dealer.
■When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake, and
shift the shift position to P. Failure
to do so may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehicle may acceler-
ate suddenly if the accelerator
pedal is accidentally depressed.

Preparation for winter
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a
loss of vehicle control and cause
death or serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended
level of air pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75
mph (120 km/h), regardless of
the type of snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just
some wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
(except 195/50R19 tires)
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the
vehicle being unable to be driven
safely, and may cause death or
serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the
speed limit specified for the tire
chains being used, or 30 mph
(50 km/h), whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road
surfaces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration,
abrupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that
cause sudden engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before
entering a curve to ensure that
vehicle control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist) system.
●Do not use LDA (Lane Depar-
ture Alert) system.

4877-1. Maintenance and care
7
Maintenance and care
ing precautions.
• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive detergent
• Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, such
as after driving or parking in hot
weather
■Wheels and wheel ornaments
(vehicles with matte painted
wheels)
A different set of care is necessary
for matte painted wheels and wheel
ornaments.
Contact your Toyota dealer for
details.
●Remove dirt using water as early
as possible.
If the wheels are excessively dirty,
use diluted neutral detergent.
●When using detergent, make sure
to rinse it off with water immedi-
ately. Then use a soft cloth to
wipe off the water.
●Use a sponge or soft cloth to
remove the dirt by hand.
●To prevent the ma tte paint from
being damaged or glossy, make
sure to observe the following pre-
cautions:
• Do not apply any coatings or wax.
• Do not use acidic, alkaline or
abrasive detergents.
• When using tire cleaners or tire
wax, do not allow them to be
applied to the wheels.
• Do not scrub or polish the wheels
using a brush or dry cloth, etc.
• When using an automatic car wash, do not select the wheel
brush function.
• Do not use a high pressure washer or steam cleaner.
• Do not use detergent on the
wheels when they are hot, such
as after driving or parking in hot
weather.
■Brake pads and calipers
Rust may form if the vehicle is
parked with wet brake pads or disc rotors, causing them to stick. Before
parking the vehicle after it is
washed, drive slowly and apply the
brakes several times to dry the
parts.
■Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
■Front side windows water-
repellent coating (if equipped)
The following precautions can
extend the effectiveness of the
water-repellent coating.
●Remove any dirt, etc., from the
front side windows regularly.
●Do not allow dirt and dust to accu-
mulate on the windows for a long
period. Clean the windows with a
soft, damp cloth as soon as possi-
ble.
●Do not use wax or glass cleaners
that contain abrasives when
cleaning the windows.
●Do not use any metallic objects to
remove condensation build up.
■Plated portions
If dirt cannot be removed, clean the
parts as follows:
●Use a soft cloth dampened with
an approximately 5% solution of
neutral detergent and water to
clean the dirt off.
●Wipe the surface with a dry, soft
cloth to remove any remaining
moisture.
●To remove oily deposits, use alco-
hol wet wipes or a similar product.
WARNING
■When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of
the engine compartment. Doing
so may cause the electrical com-
ponents, etc. to catch fire.
