■When encountering flooded
roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain, etc. Doing so
may cause the following serious dam- age to the vehicle:
●Short in electrical components
●Traction battery damage caused by
water immersion
In the event that you drive on a
flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be sure to have any autho-rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer check the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in quantity and quality of transmission fluid, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the bearings and suspension joints (where possi-
ble), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.
●Components connected to the trac-tion battery.
If the shift control system is damaged
by flooding, it may not be possible to
shift the shift position to P, or from P
to other positions. In this case, con-
tact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
■When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake, and
shift the shift position to P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle may accelerate sud-
denly if the accelerator pedal is acci- dentally depressed.
■When involved in a minor acci-dent
Damage to the traction battery or bat-
tery peripheral components could cause malfunctions. Even if it is a minor accident, have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Toyota Safety Sense
The Toyota Safety Sense con-
sists of the driving assist sys-
tems and contributes to a safe
and comfortable driving expe-
rience:
WARNING
■Toyota Safety Sense
The Toyota Safety Sense operates under the assumption that the driver will drive safely, and is designed to
help reduce the impact to the occu- pants in a collision and assist the driver under normal driving condi-
tions. As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance that this system can pro-
vide, do not overly rely on this sys- tem. The driver is solely responsible for paying attention to the vehicle’s
surroundings and driving safely.
■For safe use
●Do not overly rely on this system. The driver is solely responsible for paying attention to the vehicle’s sur-
roundings and driving safely. This system may not operate in all situa-tions and provided assistance is
limited. Over-reliance on this sys- tem to drive the vehicle safely may lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Do not attempt to test the operation
of the system, as it may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident.
●If attention is necessary while per-forming driving operations or a sys-
tem malfunction occurs, a warning message or warning buzzer will be operated. If a warning message is
displayed on the display, follow the instructions displayed.
●Depending on external noise, the volume of the audio system, etc., it may be difficult to hear the warning
buzzer. Also, depending on the road conditions, it may be difficult to recognize the operation of the sys-
tem.
■When it is necessary to disable
the system
In the following situations, make sure to disable the system.
Failure to do so may lead to the sys- tem not operating properly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
●When the vehicle is tilted due to
being overloaded or having a flat tire
●When driving at extremely high speeds
●When towing another vehicle
●When the vehicle is being trans-
ported by a truck, ship, train, etc.
●When the vehicle is raised on a lift
and the tires are allowed to rotate freely
●When inspecting the vehicle using a drum tester such as a chassis dynamometer or speedometer tes-
ter, or when using an on vehicle wheel balancer
●When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road
●When using an automatic car wash
●When a sensor is misaligned or
deformed due to a strong impact being applied to the sensor or the area around the sensor
●When accessories which obstruct a sensor or light are temporarily
installed to the vehicle

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an accident.
Always drive while checking the safety of the surroundings of the vehi-cle.
Depending on the vehicle and road conditions, weather, etc., the system may not operate.
The detection capabilities of sensors and radars are limited. Always drive while checking the safety of the sur-
roundings of the vehicle.
●The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive carefully, taking care to observe your sur-roundings. The Parking Support
Brake system is designed to pro- vide support to lessen the severity of collisions. However, it may not
operate in some situations.
●The Parking Support Brake system
is not designed to stop the vehicle completely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the vehicle, it
is necessary to depress the brake pedal immediately as brake control will be canceled after approximately
2 seconds.
●It is extremely dangerous to check
the system operations by intention- ally driving the vehicle into the direction of a wall, etc. Never
attempt such actions.
■When to disable the Parking Sup- port Brake
In the following situations, disable the
Parking Support Brake as the system may operate even though there is no possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or
free roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a
boat, truck or other transport vessel
●If the suspension has been modi-
fied or tires of a size other than specified are installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a tow-ing eyelet, bumper protector (an
additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●When using automatic car washing devices
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or
is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a
sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly
inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture
repair kit is used
■Precautions for the suspension
Do not modify the suspension of the vehicle. If the height or tilt of the vehi-cle is changed, the sensors may not
be able to detect detectable objects and the system may not operate cor-rectly, possibly leading to an accident.
