WARNING
■Active Cornering Assist does 
not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on Active 
Cornering Assist. Active Corner-
ing Assist may not operate 
effectively when accelerating 
down slopes or driving on slip-
pery road surfaces.
●When Active Cornering Assist 
frequently operates, Active Cor-
nering Assist may temporarily 
stop operating to ensure proper 
operation of the brakes, TRAC 
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 effec-
tively on steep inclines and 
roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, 
hill-start assist control is not 
intended to hold the vehicle sta-
tionary 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 acci-
dent.
■When the TRAC/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 TRAC/VSC systems 
are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at 
a speed appropriate to the road 
conditions. As these are the sys-
tems to help ensure vehicle stabil-
ity and driving force, do not turn 
the TRAC/VSC systems off 
unless necessary.
■Secondary Collision Brake
Do not rely solely upon the Sec-
ondary Collision Brake. This sys-
tem is designed to help reduce 
the possibility of  further damage 
due to a secondary collision, how-
ever, that effect changes accord-
ing to various conditions. Overly 
relying on the system may result 
in death or serious injury.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the 
specified size, brand, tread pat-
tern and total load capacity. In 
addition, make sure that the tires 
are inflated to the recommended 
tire inflation p ressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC sys-
tems will not functi on correctly if 
different tires are installed on the 
vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for fur-
ther information when replacing 
tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the sus-
pension
Using tires with any kind of prob-
lem or modifying the suspension 
will affect the driving assist sys-
tems, and may cause a system to 
malfunction.

Follow the procedure below to 
restart the engine after the sys-
tem is activated.
1Turn the engine switch to 
ACC or OFF.
2 Restart the engine.Fuel pump shut off  
system
To minimize the risk of fuel 
leakage when the engine 
stalls or when an airbag 
inflates upon collision, the 
fuel pump shut off system 
stops the supply of fuel to 
the engine.
Restarting the engine
NOTICE
■Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the 
vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked 
onto the ground, the fuel system 
has been damaged and is in need 
of repair. Do not restart the 
engine.

When trouble arises
WARNING
■If a blowout or sudden air 
leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system 
may not activate immediately.
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if 
provided), should be checked 
monthly when cold and inflated to 
the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire 
inflation pressure label (tire and 
load information label). (If your 
vehicle has tires of a different size 
than the size indicated on the 
vehicle placard or tire inflation 
pressure label [tire and load infor-
mation label], you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation 
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safe ty feature, your 
vehicle has been equipped with a 
tire pressure m onitoring system 
(TPMS-tire pressure warning sys-
tem) that illuminates a low tire 
pressure telltale (tire pressure 
warning light) when one or more 
of your tires is significantly 
under-inflated. Accordingly, when 
the low tire pressure telltale (tire 
pressure warning light) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check 
your tires as soon as possible, 
and inflate them to the proper 
pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes 
the tire to overheat and can lead 
to tire failure. Under-inflation also 
reduces fuel efficiency and tire 
tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire 
pressure warning system) is not a 
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s 
responsibility to m aintain correct 
tire pressure, even  if under-infla-
tion has not reached the level to 
trigger illumination of the TPMS 
low tire pressure te lltale (tire pres-
sure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been 
equipped with a TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) malfunc-
tion indicator to indicate when the 
system is not operating properly. 
The TPMS (tire pressure warning 
system) malfunction indicator is 
combined with the low tire pres-
sure telltale (tire pressure warning 
light). When the  system detects a 
malfunction, the te lltale will flash 
for approximately one minute and 
then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle 
start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction 
indicator is illuminated, the sys-
tem may not be ab le to detect or 
signal low tire pressure as 
intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning sys-
tem) malfunctions may occur for a 
variety of reasons, including the 
installation of replacement or 
alternate tires or wheels on the 
vehicle that prevent the TPMS 
(tire pressure warning system) 
from functioning properly. Always 
check the TPMS (tire pressure 
warning system) malfunction tell-
tale after replacing one or more 
tires or wheels on your vehicle to 
ensure that the replacement or 
alternate tires  and wheels allow 
the TPMS (tire pressure warning 
system) to continue to function 
properly.
