WARNING
⬛Rear-view camera
Failure to observe the following may cause death or serious injury.
⚫Do not overly rely on the rear-view camera. Just as when you drive a vehicle
without the rear-view camera, make su re to check the safety around and
behind your vehicle and drive carefully. Be particularly careful not to collide
with the parked vehicles nearby, obstacles, or people.
⚫When you back up, make sure to check the safety around and behind your
vehicle and drive carefully.
⚫Never drive the vehicle while looking at the screen only.
The image displayed on the screen ma y be different from the actual situa-
tion. Note that the projection range of the camera is limited. Never back up
while looking at the screen only. Doing so could get your vehicle hit or lead
to an unforeseen accident. Be sure to confirm the safety around by visually
checking the surroundings with your ey es or using the inside rear view mir-
ror and the outside rear view mirrors before driving.
⚫Never use it in the situations listed below.
⦁ Frozen, slippery or snowy roads
⦁ When tire chains or spare tires are used
⦁ When the back door is not closed fully
⦁ On a non-flat road surface such as slopes
⚫If the outside temperature is low, the screen may be come dark and the
image may become blurry. Especially since the moving objects may appear
blurred or disappear from the screen, always check the safety around you
directly with your eyes while driving.

RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
⬛The ABS does not operate effectively when
⚫Do not overly rely on the ABS.
The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as exces-
sively worn tires on a snow covered road).
⚫The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick roads.
⬛Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of normal
conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten th e vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the fol-
lowing situations:
⚫When driving on dirt, grav el or snow-covered roads
⚫When driving with tire chains
⚫When driving over bumps in the road
⚫When driving over roads with potholes or roads with uneven surfaces
⬛TRC/VSC may not operate effectively when
⚫Do not overly rely on the TRC/VSC.
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRC/VSC system is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in condit ions where stability and power may be
lost.
⚫The VSC and TRC may not function proper ly when tire chains are installed.
⬛Hill-start assist control does not operate effectively when
⚫Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may not
operate effectively on steep inclines an d dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads.
⚫Unlike the parking brake, hill-start assist control is not intended to hold the
vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to use hill-
start assist control to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may lead to
an accident.
⚫The hill-start assist control may no t become activated depending on the
number of occupants or luggage weight in the vehicle, or if the driver did not
step on the brake pedal strong enough when stopping.
⬛When the VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
⬛When the ABS warning light or slip indicator is on
The emergency brake signal ( ➞P. 232) may not be activated.

⬛When the TRC/VSC systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road conditions.
As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving force, do
not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
⬛Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the spec ified size, brand, tread pattern and total
load capacity. In addition, make sure th at the tires are inflated to the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will not func tion correctly if different tires are
installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for further information when replacing tires or
wheels.
⬛Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect the
driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.

RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
Cleaning the synthetic leather areas
⚫Remove dust using a vacuum cleaner
⚫Wipe it off with a soft cloth dampened with neutral detergent diluted to
approximately 1%
⚫Wring out any excess water from the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent and water
⬛Caring for leather areas
Toyota recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to
maintain the quality of the vehicle’s interior.
⬛Carpet cleaning
Toyota recommends that you keep the carpet dry at all times. To clean the car-
pet, a commercially available fo am-type cleaner can be used.
Use a sponge or brush to spread the foam over the carpet and work it in a cir-
cular motion. Do not apply water directly. Wipe off and dry.
⬛Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge.
Also check the seat belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
WARNING
⬛Water in the vehicle
⚫Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical components, etc., to malfunction or catch fire.
⚫Do not get any of the SRS airbag compon ents or wiring in the vehicle interior
wet. ( ➞P. 3 7 )
An electrical malfunction may cause the SRS airbags to deploy or not func-
tion properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
⬛Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use a polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect off
the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
⬛Caution: Area around the seats
Be very careful when putting your hand under a seat, such as when cleaning
the interior of the vehicle or picking up anything that has fallen under the seat.
Your hand may strike the seat rail or the base of the seat and be injured.

leather surfaces:
⚫Remove any dust or dirt from leather surfaces immediately
⚫Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer

If water comes into contact with audio system or electrical components under
the floor carpet of the vehicle, it ma y cause the malfunction of the vehicle, or
rusting of the vehicle body.
⬛Cleaning the inside of the rear window (vehicles with the rear window defogger)
⚫Do not use window washing detergent, etc., for such solutions can damage
the hot wires. Instead, gently wipe the window along its hot wires with cloth

RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
⬛When your battery is discharged/removed (vehicles with key-free system)
⚫You may not be able to unlock the vehicle doors using the key-free system
immediately after battery discharge. In such cases, lock and unlock the
doors using the wireless remote control or emergency key.
⚫The vehicle engine may not start on the first try after battery discharge. This
is to be expected, and the engine will start properly on the second try

second vehicle and cause an explosion:
⚫Make sure each jumper cable is connec ted to the correct terminal and that it
is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal.
⚫Do not allow the other end of the jump er cable connected to the “+” terminal
to come into contact with any other pa rts or metal surfaces in the area, such
as brackets or unpainted metal.
⚫Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact
with each other.
⚫Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette li ghters or allow open flame near the
battery
⚫Do not use or charge the battery when the battery level is lower than the
LOWER LEVEL displayed on the side of the battery
