NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle (vehi-
cles with a Multidrive)
●Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time dur-
ing driving, as this may restrain the
engine output.
●Do not use the accelerator pedal or
depress the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
■When driving the vehicle (vehi-cles with a manual transmission)
●Do not depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time dur- ing driving, as this may restrain the
engine output.
●Do not shift gears unless the clutch
pedal is fully depressed. After shift-
ing, do not release the clutch pedal abruptly. Doing so may damage the
clutch, transmission and gears.
●Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exces-
sive premature wear or damage to the clutch, eventually making it diffi-
cult to accelerate and start off from
a stop. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal or depress it any time other
than when shifting. Doing so may cause clutch trouble.
• Do not use any gear other than the 1st gear when starting off and mov-
ing forward.
Doing so may damage the clutch.
• Do not use the clutch pedal to
adjust vehicle speed. Doing so may damage the clutch.
• When stopping the vehicle with the shift lever in a position other than N,
make sure to fully depress the
clutch pedal and stop the vehicle using the brakes.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R with-out the vehicle completely stopped.
Doing so may damage the clutch,
transmission and gears.
■When parking the vehicle (vehi-
cles with a Multidrive)
Always set the parking brake and shift
the shift lever to P. Failure to do so
may cause the vehicl e to move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if
the accelerator pedal is accidentally
depressed.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there
for an extended period of time.
Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to
avoid damaging the wheels, under-
side of the vehicle, etc.
●Make sure to idle the engine imme-
diately after high-load driving. Stop the engine only after the
turbocharger has cooled down.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the turbocharger.
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the
following situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the
vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your vehicle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnormally.

●Secure all items in the occupant
compartment.
●Never allow anyone to ride in the
luggage compartment. It is not
designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their
seat belts properly fastened.
■Load and distribution
●Do not overload your vehicle.
●Do not apply loads unevenly. Improper loading may cause deteri-
oration of steering or braking con-
trol which may cause death or serious injury.
■Roof luggage carrier precautions (if equipped)
To use the roof rails as a roof luggage
carrier, you must fit the roof rails with two genuine Toyota cross bars or their
equivalent.
When you load cargo on the roof lug- gage carrier, observe the following:
Roof rails
Cross bars
●Do not place any cargo directly onto
the roof rails. This may lead to the
cargo becoming dislodged, result- ing in an accident.
●Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front
and rear axles.
●If loading long or wide cargo, never
exceed the vehicle overall length or
width. (P.566)
●Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof lug-
gage carrier.
●Loading cargo on the roof luggage
carrier will make the center of grav-
ity of the vehicle higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,
sudden braking or abrupt maneu-
vers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due to
failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly and result in death or serious injury.
●If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds,
stop the vehicle occasionally during
the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its place.
●Do not exceed 75 kg (165 lb.) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
■When installing cross bars (vehi-cles with roof rails)
Make sure the cross bars are installed
securely by pushing them forward and rearward.
Failure to do so may cause an unex-
pected accident.

Driving
operation of the connection
between the trailer and lights after
driving for a brief period as well as
before starting off.
■Practicing driving with a cou-
pled trailer
Get the feel for turning, stopping
and reversing with the trailer
coupled by practicing in an area
with no or light traffic.
When reversing with a coupled
trailer, hold the section of the
steering wheel nearest to you
and rotate clockw ise to turn the
trailer left or counterclockwise to
turn it right. Always rotate a little
at a time to prevent steering
error. Have someone guide you
when reversing to lessen the risk
of an accident.
■Increasing vehicle-to-vehicle
distance
At a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), the
distance to the vehicle running
ahead of you should be equivalent
to or greater than the combined
length of your vehicle and trailer.
Avoid sudden braking that may
cause skidding. Otherwise, the
vehicle may spin out of control. This
is especially true when driving on
wet or slippery road surfaces.
■Sudden acceleration/steering
input/cornering
Executing sharp turns when towing
may result in th e trailer colliding
with your vehicle. Decelerate well in
advance when approaching turns
and take them slowly and carefully
to avoid sudden braking.
■Important points regarding
turning
The wheels of the tr ailer will travel
closer to the inside of the curve
than the wheels of the vehicle. To
make allowance for this, take the
turns wider than you would nor-
mally do.
■Important points regarding
stability
Vehicle movement resulting from
uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The
vehicle may also be rocked by
passing buses or large trucks. Fre-
quently check behind when moving
alongside such vehicles. As soon
as such vehicle movement occurs,
immediately start to decelerate
smoothly by slowly applying the
brakes. Always steer the vehicle
straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles
Consider the total combined length
of your vehicle and trailer and
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance is sufficient before execut-
ing lane changes.
■Transmission information
Multidrive
To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and charging system perfor-
mance when using engine braking,
do not use the transmission in D,

■Stopping the engine in an emer-gency
●If you want to stop the engine in an
emergency while driving the vehi- cle, press and hold the engine
switch for more than 2 seconds, or
press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. (P.502)
However, do not touch the engine
switch while driving except in an emergency. Turning the engine off
while driving will not cause loss of
steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will
be lost. This will make it more diffi-
cult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
●If the engine switch is operated
while the vehicle is running, a warn-
ing message will be shown on the multi-information display and a
buzzer sounds.

■Toyota Safety Sense
The Toyota Safety Sense is designed
to operate under the assumption that
the driver will drive safely, and is designed to help reduce the impact to
the occupants and the vehicle in the
case of a collision or assist the driver in normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of rec-
ognition accuracy and control perfor- mance that this system can provide,
do not overly rely on this system. The
driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicle’s surroundings
and driving safely.

■Limitations of the pre-collision
system
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your
surroundings. Do not use the pre-collision system
instead of normal braking opera-
tions under any circumstances.
This system will not prevent colli- sions or lessen collision damage or
injury in every situation. Do not
overly rely on this system. Failure to do so may lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Although this system is designed to
help avoid a collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision, its effec- tiveness may change according to
various conditions, therefore the
system may not always be able to achieve the same level of perfor-
mance.
Read the following conditions care- fully. Do not overly rely on this sys-
tem and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-
sibility of a collision: P.228
• Conditions under which the system
may not operate properly: P. 2 2 9
●Do not attempt to test the operation
of the pre-collision system yourself.
Depending on the objects used for testing (dummies, cardboard
objects imitating detectable objects,
etc.), the system may not operate properly, possibly leading to an
accident.
■Pre-collision braking
●When the pre-collision braking
function is operating, a large amount of braking force will be
applied.
●If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision brak-
ing function, the pre-collision brak-
ing function operation will be canceled after approximately 2 sec-
onds. Depress the brake pedal as
necessary.
●The pre-collision braking function
may not operate if certain opera- tions are performed by the driver. If
the accelerator pedal is being
depressed strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system
may determine that the driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly pre- vent the pre-collision braking
function from operating.
●In some situations, while the
pre-collision braking function is
operating, operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator
pedal is depressed strongly or the
steering wheel is turned and the system determines that the driver is
taking evasive action.
●If the brake pedal is being
depressed, the system may deter-
mine that the driver is taking eva- sive action and possibly delay the
operation timing of the pre-collision
braking function.
■When to disable the pre-colli-
sion system
In the following situations, disable the
system, as it may not operate prop-
erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed
●When your vehicle is towing
another vehicle
●When transporting the vehicle via
truck, boat, train or similar means of
transportation
●When the vehicle is raised on a lift
with the engine running and the tires are allowed to rotate freely
Page 230 of 758
2284-5. Using the driving support systems
■Cancelation of the pre-collision
braking
If either of the following occur while the
pre-collision braking function is operat-
ing, it will be canceled:
●The accelerator pedal is depressed
strongly.
●The steering wheel is turned sharply
or abruptly.
■Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-
sibility of a collision
●In some situations such as the follow-
ing, the system may determine that
there is a possibility of a frontal colli- sion and operate.
• When passing a detectable object,
etc. • When changing lanes while overtak-
ing a detectable object, etc.
• When approaching a detectable object in an adjacent lane or on the
roadside, such as when changing the
course of travel or driving on a wind- ing road
• When rapidly closing on a detectable
object, etc. • When approaching objects on the
roadside, such as detectable objects,
guardrails, utility poles, trees, or walls • When there is a detectable object or
other object by the roadside at the
entrance of a curve
• When there are patterns or paint in
front of your vehicle that may be mis-
taken for a detectable object • When the front of your vehicle is hit by
water, snow, dust, etc.
• When overtaking a detectable object that is changing lanes or making a
right/left turn
• When passing a detectable object in
an oncoming lane that is stopped to
make a right/left turn
• When a detectable object approaches
very close and then stops before entering the path of your vehicle
• If the front of your vehicle is raised or
lowered, such as when on an uneven or undulating road surface
• When driving on a road surrounded by
a structure, such as in a tunnel or on
an iron bridge • When there is a metal object (man-
hole cover, steel plate, etc.), steps, or
a protrusion in front of your vehicle

LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist)*
When driving on highways and
freeways with white (yellow)
lane lines, this function alerts
the driver when the vehicle
might depart from its lane or
course* and provides assis-
tance by operating the steering
wheel to keep the vehicle in its
lane or course*. Furthermore,
the system provides steering
assistance when dynamic
radar cruise control with
full-speed range is operating to
keep the vehicle in its lane.
The LTA system recognizes
white (yellow) la ne lines or a
course* using the front cam-
era. Additionally, it detects
preceding vehicles using the
front camera and radar.
