WARNING
QWhen using a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
O Vehicles with front passenger occupant classification system: Never use a
rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat when “ON”
of the “PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator is illuminated. ( P. 57)
The force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause
death or serious injury to children in the event of an accident.
O Vehicles without front passenger
occupant classification system or airbag
manual on-off switch: Never use a rear-
facing child restraint system on the front
passenger seat.
The force of the rapid inflation of the
front passenger airbag can cause death
or serious injury to children in the event
of an accident.
O Vehicles with airbag manual on-off
switch: Never use a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat when the airbag manual on-off
switch is on. ( P. 62)
The force of the rapid inflation of the

WARNING
QThe information display at low temperatures (vehicles with multi-infor-
mation display)
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the display monitor may
respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For vehicles with automatic transmission: For example, there is a lag
between the driver’s shifting and the new gear number appearing on the
display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again, causing rapid
and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or
injury.
NOTICE
Q To prevent damage to the engine and its components
O Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
O The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is
in the red zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( P. 610)

Q Restraining the engine output (Brake Override System)
O When the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed at the same time, the
engine output may be restrained.
O Vehicles without multi-information display: A warning light comes on while
the system is operating. ( P. 569)
O Vehicles with multi-information display: A warning message is displayed on
the multi-information display while the system is operating. ( P. 577)
Q Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start Control) (vehicles with automatic
transmission and VSC system)
O When the following unusual operation is performed, the engine output may
be restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted from R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D, or P to
R (D includes S) with the accelerator pedal depressed, a warning mes-
sage is displayed on the multi-information display while the system is
operating. If a warning message is shown on the multi-information dis-
play, read the message and follow the instructions.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed too much while the vehicle is in
reverse.
O While Drive-Start Control is being activated, your vehicle may have trouble
escaping from the mud or fresh snow. In such case, perform the following
actions to cancel Drive-Start Control so that the vehicle may become able to
escape from the mud or fresh snow.
• Deactivate TRC/A-TRC ( P. 357)
• Turn the front-wheel drive control switch to L4. (if equipped) ( P. 331)
O Vehicles with AUTO LSD system: Drive-Start Control does not work when
the AUTO LSD system is turned on. ( P. 367)

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
Q When shifting the shift lever
O On vehicles with automatic transmission, do not let the vehicle roll back-
wards while the shift lever is in a driving position, or roll forward while the
shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine to stall or lead to poor brake and steering
performance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehicle.
O On vehicles with automatic transmission, do not shift the shift lever to P
while the vehicle is moving.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
O Do not shift the shift lever to R while the vehicle is moving forward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
O Do not shift the shift lever to a driving position while the vehicle is moving
backward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
O Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the
engine from the transmission. Engine braking is not available when N is
selected.
O On vehicles with automatic transmission, be careful not to shift the shift
lever with the accelerator pedal depressed. Shifting the shift lever to a
gear other than P or N may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the
vehicle that may cause an accident.
Q If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear indicators)
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as
possible.
Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle w hen the wear limits of the brake pads
and/or those of the brake discs are exceeded.

Q Object detection function
Q Cancelation of the pre-collision braking
If either of the following occur while the pre-collision braking function is oper-
ating, it will be canceled:
O The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
O The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.
Q Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-
sibility of a collision
O In some situations such as the following, the system may determine that
there is a possibility of a frontal collision and operate.
• When passing a detectable object, etc.
• When changing lanes while overtaking a detectable object, etc.
• When rapidly closing on a detectable object, etc.
• When approaching objects on the roadside, such as detectable objects,
guardrails, utility pol es, trees, or walls
The system detects objects based on
their size, profile, motion, etc. However,
an object may not be detected depending
on the surrounding brightness and the
motion, posture, and angle of the
detected object, preventing the system
from operating properly. ( P. 281)
The illustration shows an image of detect-
able objects.
• 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 there is a detectable object or
other object by the roadside at the
entrance of a curve

• When driving near an object that reflects radio waves, such as a large
truck or guardrail
• When driving near a TV tower, broadcasting station, electric power plant,
or other location where strong radio waves or electrical noise may be
present
Q Situations in which the system may not operate properly
O In some situations such as the following, an object may not be detected by
the radar sensor and front camera, pr eventing the system from operating
properly:
• When a detectable object is approaching your vehicle
• When your vehicle or a detectable object is wobbling
• If a detectable object makes an abrupt maneuver (such as sudden swerv-
ing, acceleration or deceleration)
• When your vehicle approaches a detectable object rapidly
• When a detectable object is near a wall, fence, guardrail, manhole cover,
vehicle, steel plate on the road, etc.
• When a detectable object is under a structure
• When part of a detectable object is hidden by an object, such as large
baggage, an umbrella, or guardrail
• When multiple detectable objects are close together
• If the sun or other light is shining directly on a detectable object
• When a detectable object is a shade of white and looks extremely bright
• When a detectable object appears to be nearly the same color or bright-
ness as its surroundings
• If a detectable object cuts or suddenly emerges in front of your vehicle
• When the front of your vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc.
• When a very bright light ahead, such as the sun or the headlights of
oncoming traffic, shines dire ctly into the front camera
• When approaching the side or front of a vehicle ahead
• When driving through or under
objects that may contact your vehicle,
such as thick grass, tree branches, or

When trouble arises
WARNING
QWhen attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the
surrounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.
Q When shifting the shift lever
For vehicles with automatic transmission, be careful not to shift the shift
lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
Q To avoid damage to the transmission and other components
O Avoid spinning the wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more
than necessary.
O If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
O Vehicles with automatic transmission: When a warning message for the
automatic transmission fluid temperature is displayed while attempting to
free a stuck vehicle, immediately remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal and wait until the warning message disappears. Otherwise, the

*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing
the engine oil. Warm up and turn off the engine, wait more than 5 minutes,
and check the oil level on the dipstick.
QEngine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy
the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade:
0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving”, SN
“Resource-Conserving”, SN PLUS “Resource-Conserving” or SP
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-20 is filled into your
