RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
⬛Activation of ABS/VSC
ABS/VSC does not work at low speeds. The operation is the same as the nor-
mal brake.
⬛Activation sound and vibration of the ABS, brake assist, VSC, TRC, and hill-
start assist control
⚫A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake pedal
is depressed repeatedly, when the engine is started or just after the vehicle
begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction has
occurred in any of these systems.
⚫Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are oper-
ating. None of them indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
⦁ Vibrations may be felt through th e vehicle body and steering wheel
⦁ A motor sound may be heard even after the vehicle has come to a stop
⦁ The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the ABS is activated
⦁ The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated
⬛EPS motor operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
⬛Automatic reactivation of VSC and TRC
After turning the TRC and VSC systems off, the systems will return to the ready
state in the following situations:
⚫When the engine switch is turned to “OFF”
⚫If only the TRC system is turned off, when vehicle speed increases
If both the TRC and VSC systems are tu rned off, automatic reactivation will
not occur when vehicle speed increases.
⬛Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of
time. The steering wheel ma y feel heavy as a result.
Should this occur, refrain from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and
turn the engine off. It should re turn to normal within 10 minutes.

⬛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.

Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropri-
ate to the prevailing weather conditions.Preparation for winter
⚫Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside temperatures.
⦁ Engine oil
⦁ Coolant
⦁ Washer fluid
⚫Have a service technician inspec t the condition of the battery.
Before driving
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
⚫Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a windshield wiper that is
frozen. Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
⚫To ensure proper operation of the air conditioning system fan, remove
any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the
windshield.
⚫Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, around the tires or on the
brakes.
⚫Look under the vehicle and check that there are no ice blocks around
the ground. Remove any attached ice blocks with great care to avoid
damaging vehicle components. Also check that the pedals and steering
wheel move smoothly.
⚫Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before getting
in the vehicle.

When driving the vehicle
⚫Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and the
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road conditions.
⚫During snowfall or cold weather, water adhering to the brake system
may freeze, and the brakes may become less effective. If brake perfor-
mance is poor, paying close attention to the surrounding safety, lightly
depress the brake pedal several times to confirm that the brakes work
properly until their effectiveness is restored.
⚫When driving on snowy roads, snow attached to the back of the wheel
wells freezes and may grad ually accumulate, making it difficult to steer.
Check that there is no abnormal build-up of snow from time to time. The
lights may become dark due to snow during driving, so make sure that
there is no abnormal build-up of snow from time to time.
When parking the vehicle
⚫The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released. For
continuously variable transmission vehicles, set the shift lever to P. For
the manual transmission vehicles, set the shift lever to R on a downhill,
and set it to the gear 1 on an uphill to park. Do not apply the parking
brake at this time, and make sure to use wheel chocks.
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an unforeseen accident.
⚫When you park the continuously variable transmission vehicle without
applying the parking brake, confirm that the shift lever will not move*
with the shift lever being placed in P.
*The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any other
position without depressing the brake pe dal. If the shift lever can be shifted,
there may be a problem with the shift lo ck system. Have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer immediately.

RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
⬛When the brakes freeze
If normal braking is not restored, have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer immediately.
⬛Caution when parking
When parking without applying the parking brake, be sure to use wheel
chocks. Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an unforeseen accident.
NOTICE
⬛When removing ice from the windshield and windows
Do not hit and break the ice.
The glass may crack.
⬛When the doors, windshield wipers, windshield, or windows freeze
⚫Thaw the ice by applying lukewarm water.
Hot water may damage or deform components.
⚫If the windshield wipers, outside rear view mirrors, or windows are forcibly
activated while frozen or when snow is strongly attached, the wiper rubber
may be damaged or the motor may break.
⬛Repairing or replacing snow tires (veh icles with the tire pressure warning
system)
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from Toyota dealers or legiti-
mate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the operation
of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
⬛Fitting tire chains (vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function correctly
when tire chains are fitted.

⚫Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle body,
wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any dirt and dust
⚫Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a chamois
⚫When heavily soiled, use car wash so ap and rinse thoroughly with water
⚫Wipe away any water
⚫Wax the vehicle when the water repellency deteriorates
If water does not bead on a clean surface even after removing the dirt on body sur-
face, apply wax when the vehicle body is cooled down (when it becomes approxi-
mately below the body temperature)
Handling of the pole antenna✽
The antenna can be removed or retracted when washing the vehicle.
a Remove
b Attach
c Fold
To listen to the radio, pull out the
antenna as is appropriate.
⬛Automatic car washes
⚫Fold the outside rear view mirrors before a car wash.
Start washing from the front of the vehi cle. Make sure to extend the outside
rear view mirrors before driving.
⚫Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and
harm your vehicle’s paint.
⚫Depending on the car wash, the vehic le gets scratched or damaged, or it
may not be possible to wash the car, as the rear spoiler gets stuck.
⬛High pressure car washes
As water may enter the cabin, do not bring the nozzle tip near the gaps around
the doors or perimeter of the windows, or spray these areas continuously.
