2023 TOYOTA RAIZE continuously variable transmission

1704-1. Driving the vehicle
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause death or serious
injury.
⬛When starting to move the vehicle (continuously variable transmission
vehicles)
Always depress the brake pedal while st opped with the engine running. This
prevents the vehicle from creeping.
⬛When driving the vehicle
⚫Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accelera-
tor pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
⦁ Accidentally depressing the accelera tor pedal instead of the brake pedal
will result in sudden acceleratio n that may lead to an accident.
⦁ When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to difficulty in
operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
⦁ Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving 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 emergency, resulting in an
accident.
⚫Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.
The exhaust pipes and exhaust gases can be extremely hot, and may cause a
fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
⚫During normal driving, do not turn of f the engine. 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 st op 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 6 7
⚫Use engine braking to maintain a safe speed when driving down a steep hill.
Using a foot brake continuously may cause the brake to overheat and lose
effectiveness. ( ➞P. 189)
⚫Depending on the road surface and speed, shift down as follows and also
use engine braking.
⦁Set the shift lever to S (continuousl y variable transmission vehicles)
⦁ Set Manual Mode ( ➞P. 190) and downshift by 1 gear at a time (continu-
ously variable transmission vehicles)
⦁ Lower the gear by 1 level (Manual transmission vehicles)

1724-1. Driving the vehicle
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
⚫On vehicles with continuously variable transmission, do not shift the shift
lever to P while the vehicle is moving.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
⚫Do not shift the shift lever to R wh ile the vehicle is moving forward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
⚫Do not shift the shift lever to a driv ing position while the vehicle is moving
backward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
⚫Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the
engine from the transmission. Engine braking is not available when N is
selected.
⚫Be careful not to set the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
Setting the shift lever to a gear othe r than P (continuously variable transmis-
sion vehicles) or N is dangerous, as it could lead to unexpected rapid acceler-
ation of the vehicle that may cause an unforeseen accident.
⬛If you hear a continuous squealing noise from around the brakes
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
Damage to the disc rotor may result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
Parts such as pads and rotors wear out as they are used. Riding beyond the
limits of wear will not only cause malfunctions, but may also lead to an acci-
dent.
⬛When stopping the vehicle
⚫Do not depress the accelerator pedal unnecessarily.
Setting the shift lever to a gear othe r than P (continuously variable transmis-
sion vehicles) or N is dangerous, as it could lead to unexpected rapid acceler-
ation of the vehicle that may cause an unforeseen accident.
⚫In order to prevent accidents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep
depressing the brake pedal while the en gine is running, and apply the park-
ing brake as necessary.
⚫If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused
by the vehicle rolling forward or back ward, always depress the brake pedal
and securely apply the parking brake as needed.

WARNING

⚫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.

NOTICE
⬛Driving (continuously variable transmission vehicles)
⚫Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving.
Depressing the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time may restrain
the engine output.
⚫Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake ped-
als at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
⬛Driving (Manual transmission vehicles)
⚫Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving. Depressing the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time may
restrain the engine output.
⚫Do not move the shift lever without st epping on the clutch pedal all the way.
Doing so could damage the clutch or transmission.
⚫To prevent the clutch from being da maged, observe the following precau-
tions.
⦁ Do not drive with your foot placed on the clutch pedal
⦁ Avoid starting to move the vehicle when the shift lever is set to other than
the gear 1
⦁ Do not ride the clutch more than ne cessary especially when starting to
move the vehicle on a hill
⚫Do not set the shift lever to R while the vehicle is still moving. Doing so could
damage the clutch, transmission, or the gear.
⬛Parking (continuously variable transmission vehicles)
Always apply the parking brake, and set th e shift lever to P. If the parking brake
is not applied and the shift lever is no t set to P, it may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehicle may accelerate sudd enly if the accelerator pedal is acci-
dentally 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 ti me. Doing so may damage the electric power steer-
ing motor.
⚫When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the disc wheels, etc.
