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)

⬛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.

NOTICE
⬛If you feel the clutch is slipping (Manual transmission vehicles)
Have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. If your
vehicle does not accelerate by stepping on the accelerator pedal even when
the clutch is engaged, the clutch ma y be slipping and the vehicle may no
longer be able to run.
⬛To prevent damage to the tu rbo system (Turbo vehicles)
⚫Immediately after driving at high speed or climbing on a hill, do not stop the
engine. Make sure to idle the engine for approx. 1 minute to cool down the
turbo system, and then stop the engine.
⚫Do not use any parts other than those specified for the exhaust pipes.
⚫Never alter the exhaust pipes.
⚫Never race or accelerate suddenly when the engine is cold.

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 oi ls and fluids such as engine oil,
transaxle oil, and differential oil
⚫Poor lubrication of the bearings and joints, etc.
