WARNING

4
⚫Avoid sudden engine braking (shift lever operation). The tires may lock and
slip, causing an accident.
⚫Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle.
⚫Always check that all occupants’ arms , heads or other parts of their bodies
are not outside the vehicle.
⚫Do not drive off-road.
If you must drive off-road, drive carefully.
⚫Do not drive underwater such as crossing a river.
It may cause a serious vehicle failure such as short-circuiting of electrical
components or damage to the engine.
⚫Do not drive with luggage on or near the seats.
If the vehicle brakes or turns sudden ly, the luggage may be thrown out and
hit occupants, the luggage may be dama ged, or the driver may be distracted
by the luggage, which may lead to an unforeseen accident.
⚫Drive carefully where there are large steps or where there are wheel chocks.
The bumper may be damaged.
⚫Do not release the clutch pedal all the way at once. Doing so could move the
vehicle forward and may lead to an unforeseen accident. (➞ P. 194)
⬛When driving on slippery road surfaces
⚫Sudden braking, acceleration or 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 prop erly. Wet brake pads may prevent the
brakes from functioning properly. If th e brakes on only one side are wet and
not functioning properly, steering control may be affected.
⬛When operating the shift lever
⚫For the continuously variable transmissi on vehicles, never let the vehicle roll
backward while the shift lever is in a driv ing position, or roll forward while the
shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine to sta ll or lead to poor brake and steering
performance, resulting in an acci dent or damage to the vehicle.

WARNING
Driving
4
⚫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 parking the vehicle
⚫Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, aerosol cans, or carbonated bever-
age cans in the vehicle under the scorching sun.
Doing so may result in the following:
⦁ Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or aerosol can, and may lead to a fire
⦁ The glasses with plastic lenses and plastic material may deform or crack
⦁ Carbonated beverage cans may fracture, causing the contents to spill over
the interior of the vehicle, and may al so cause a short circuit in the vehi-
cle’s electrical components
⚫Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehi cle. If a cigarette lighter is in a stor-
age compartment or on the floor, it ma y be lit accidentally when luggage is
loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
⚫Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place
containers such as fragrance on the instrument panel or dashboard.
Adhesive discs or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehicle.
⚫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, causing a fire.
⚫For continuously variable transmission vehicles, always apply the parking
brake, set the shift lever to P, stop the engine, and lock the vehicle when
leaving the vehicle unattended.
Do not leave the vehicle unattende d while the engine is running.
If the vehicle is parked wi th 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 th e engine is running or immediately
after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
⬛When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off.
Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever or depress the accelerator
pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to engine overheating. Addition-
ally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may enter
the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.

Precautions when loading luggage
For safe and comfortable driving, observe the following when load-
ing luggage.
WARNING
⬛Things that must not be carr ied in the luggage compartment
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compartment:
⚫Receptacles containing gasoline
⚫Aerosol cans
⬛When loading luggage
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so is dangerous. It may prevent the clutch pedal (manual trans-
mission vehicles) and the brake pedal and accelerator pedal from being oper-
ated properly, and the load could block the driver’s vision, hit the driver or
passengers, possibly leading to an unforeseen accident.
⚫Try storing cargo or luggage in the luggage compartment as much as possi-
ble.
⚫Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations:
⦁ In the legroom of the driver’s seat
⦁ On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
⦁ On the instrument panel
⦁ On the dashboard
⦁ Small containers/trays without lids
⚫Secure all items in the compartment.
⚫Do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the seat-
backs.
In the event of a sudden braking or an accident, the luggage may be thrown
out and cause injury to the driver or passengers.
⚫When loading long-size lugga ge by folding the rear seatbacks, avoid placing
the luggage directly behind the seatback s of the front seats as much as pos-
sible.
⚫Do not let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. It is not designed for
occupants. They should ride in their se ats with their seat belts properly fas-
tened.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event of sudden
braking or a collision.

⚫If the vehicle’s battery is dead, the st eering wheel lock will not be activated.
⬛When unable to unlock the steering wheel
The indicator of the engine switch will
continue to flash in green at a fast
pace.
Once you have verified that the shift le ver is set to P (continuously variable
transmission vehicles), try operating the engine switch while rotating the steer-
ing wheel in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction.
⬛Overheat protection of the steering wheel lock motor
If you repeat the engine start and stop operation in a short period, the opera-

WARNING
⬛When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the
accelerator pedal while starting th e engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an unforeseen accident re sulting in death or serious injury.
⬛Caution while driving
If the vehicle starts sliding when the engine stops, do not open, lock or unlock
the doors until the vehicle stops safely . Doing so may activate the steering wheel
lock and lead to an unforeseen accident, resulting in serious injury or death.
⬛Stopping the engine in an emergency
If you want to stop the engine in an em ergency while driving the vehicle, press
and hold the engine switch for more than 3 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times
or more in succession. ( ➞P. 367)
However, do not touch the engine switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause loss of steering or
braking 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.
NOTICE
⬛To prevent battery discharge
⚫Do not leave the engine switch “ACC” or “ON” for long peri ods of time with-
out the engine running.
⚫When the engine switch indi cator is not turned off, the engine switch is not
“OFF”. Before you leave the vehicle, turn “OFF” the engine switch.
⚫For the continuously variable transmission vehicles, do not stop the engine
with the shift lever placed in other t han P. When you stop the engine with
the shift lever placed in other than P and leave it as is, it could cause the bat-
tery to die since the engine switch will be set to “ACC”.
⬛When starting the engine
⚫Do not race a cold engine.
⚫If you have trouble starting the engine or experience frequent stalling, have
the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer immediately.
⬛Engine switch operation
If you experience unusual symptoms such as the switch being stuck when
pushing the engine switch, the switch may be broken. Contact your Toyota
dealer immediately.
