Driving assist systems
The following devices automatically operate according to the driving
conditions to improve driving safety and performance. However,
these systems are supplementary and you should be careful not to
over-rely on them while driving.
◆ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface.
◆Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force when the system detects a
panic stop situation.
◆VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on
slippery road surfaces.
◆TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and pr event the drive wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
◆Hill-start assist control
Prevents the vehicle from moving backwards when starting on an uphill.
◆EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Uses an electric motor to assist steering operation.
◆Emergency brake signal
Emergency flashers automatically fl ash when braking suddenly, alerting
the following vehicle and reducing the possibility of a collision.

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.

2605-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
⬛When the outside air temperature drops to around 0°C (32℉)
Even if you press , the air conditioning system may not work.
⬛When the air outlets are set to (vehicles with heaters)
In order to deliver cool air to the driver and passe ngers’ faces and warm air to
their feet, depending on the set temperature, the air sent to the driver and
passengers’ feet will be warmer than the air sent to the upper body.
⬛When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle
after closing the windows, it is recomme nded that the air intake mode be set
to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
⬛Outside/recirculated air mode
Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in prevent-
ing dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature is high.
⬛Ventilation and air conditioning odors
⚫To let fresh air in, set the air conditio ning system to the outside air introduc-
tion mode.
⚫During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odors to
be emitted from the vents.
⚫When the automatic mode is used, the fan may stop for a while immediately
after the air conditioning system starts to reduce potential odors generated
during startup. In addition, it is re commended that the air conditioning sys-
tem be set to outside air introduction mode prior to turning the vehicle off.

2906-1. Maintenance and care
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.
