WARNING
■The ABS does not operate effec- tively when
●The limits of tire gripping perfor-mance have been exceeded (such as excessively worn tires on a snow  
covered road).
●The vehicle hydroplanes while driv-
ing 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  the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always maintain a safe distance from  
the vehicle in front of you, especially  in the following situations:
●When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps in the  
road
●When driving over roads with pot-
holes or uneven surfaces
■TRC/VSC may not operate effec-
tively when 
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 conditions  
where stability and power may be  lost.
■Active Cornering Assist does not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on Active Corner- 
ing Assist. Active Cornering Assist  may not operate effectively when accelerating down slopes or driving  
on slippery road surfaces.
●When Active Cornering Assist fre- quently operates, Active Cornering Assist may temporarily stop operat- 
ing to ensure proper operation of  the brakes, TRC and VSC.
■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 and roads covered with ice.
●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 con- 
trol to hold the vehicle on an incline,  as doing so may lead to an acci-dent.
■When the TRC/ABS/VSC is acti-vated 
The slip indicator light flashes. Always  drive carefully. Reckless driving may cause an accident. Exercise particular  
care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are 
turned off 
Be especially careful and drive at a  speed appropriate to the road condi- 
tions. As these are the systems to  help ensure vehicle stability and driv-ing force, do not turn the TRC/VSC  
systems off unless necessary.
■Replacing tires 
Make sure that all tires are of the  specified size, brand, tread pattern and total load capacity. In addition,  
make sure that the tires are inflated to  the recommended tire inflation pres-sure level. 
The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will  not function correctly if different tires are installed on the vehicle. 
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer  or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for further information  
when replacing tires or wheels.

4-6. Driving tips
a traffic jam, gently release the  
brake pedal to allow the vehicle to  
move forward slightly while avoid- 
ing overuse of the accelerator  
pedal. Doing so can help control  
excessive gasoline consumption. 
Control and maintain the vehicle at  
a constant speed. Before stopping  
at a toll booth or similar, allow  
plenty of time to release the accel- 
erator and gently apply the brakes.  
A greater amount of electrical  
energy can be regenerated when  
slowing down. 
Use the air conditioning only when  
necessary. Doing so can help  
reduce excessive gasoline con- 
sumption. 
In summer: When the ambient tem- 
perature is high, use the recircu- 
lated air mode. Doing so will help to  
reduce the burden on the air condi- 
tioning system and reduce fuel con- 
sumption as well. 
In winter: Because the gasoline  
engine will not automatically cut out  
until it and the interior of the vehicle  
are warm, it will consume fuel. Also,  
fuel consumption can be improved  
by avoiding overuse of the heater. 
Make sure to check the tire inflation  
pressure frequently. Improper tire  
inflation pressure can cause poor  
fuel economy. 
Also, as snow tires can cause large  
amounts of friction, their use on dry  
roads can lead to poor fuel econ- 
omy. Use tires that are appropriate  
for the season. 
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to  
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying  
unnecessary luggage. Installing a  
large roof rack will also cause poor  
fuel economy. 
Since the gasoline engine starts up  
and cuts out automatically when  
cold, warming up the engine is  
unnecessary. Moreover, frequently  
driving short distances will cause  
the engine to repeatedly warm up,  
which can lead to excess fuel con- 
sumption.

warning system. ( P.395)
■When registering ID codes
●Before performing ID code registra- tion, make sure that no wheels with tire pressure warning valve and trans- 
mitters installed are near the vehicle.
●Make sure to initialize the tire pres-
sure warning system after registering  the ID codes. If the system is initial-ized before registering the ID codes,  
the initialized values will be invalid.
●As the tires will be warm when regis-
tration is completed, make sure to  allow the tires to cool before perform-ing initialization.
■Canceling ID code registration
●To cancel ID code registration after it has been started, operate the multi- 
information display again to select  “Identifying Each Wheel & Position”. ( P.397)
●If ID code registration has been can- 
celed, the tire pressure warning light  will blink for approximately 1 minute when the power switch is turned to  
ON mode and then illuminate. The tire  pressure warning system will be oper-ational when the tire pressure warning  
light turns off.
●If the warning light does not turn off 
even after several minutes have  elapsed, ID code registration may not have been canceled correctly. To can- 
cel registration, perform the ID code  registration start procedure again and then turn the power switch off before  
driving.
■If ID codes are not registered prop-
erly
●In the following situations, ID code 
registration may take longer than  usual to be completed or may not be possible. (Usually, the vehicle will  
need to be driven for approximately  10 to 30 minutes to complete ID code registration.) 
If ID code registration is not complete  after driving for approximately 30 min-utes, continue driving for a while. 
• If the vehicle is driven on an unpaved  road, it may take longer than normal to complete registration. 
• If the vehicle is backed up while per- forming registration, data collected during registration will be cleared, and  
it will take longer than normal to com- plete.• If the vehicle is driven in heavy traffic  
or another situation where other vehi- cles are driven close by, it may take time for the system to recognize the  
tire pressure warning valve and trans- mitters of your vehicle over those of other vehicles. 
• If a wheel with a tire pressure warning  valve and transmitter installed is inside or near the vehicle, registration  
of the ID codes for the installed  wheels may not be possible. 
If ID registration is not complete after  
driving for approximately 1 hour, park 
the vehicle in a safe place for approxi-
mately 20 minutes and then perform the 
ID code registration procedure again.
●In the following situations, ID code  registration will not be started or was not completed properly and the sys- 
tem will not operate properly. Perform  the ID code registration procedure again. 
• If, when attempting to start ID code  registration, the tire pressure warning light does not blink slowly 3 times. 
• If, when the vehicle has been driven  for about 10 minutes after performing ID code registration, the tire pressure  
warning light blinks for approximately  1 minute and then illuminates.
