1704-1. Driving the vehicle
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause death or serious
injury.
⬛When starting to move the vehicle (continuously variable transmission
vehicles)
Always depress the brake pedal while st opped with the engine running. This
prevents the vehicle from creeping.
⬛When driving the vehicle
⚫Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accelera-
tor pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
⦁ Accidentally depressing the accelera tor pedal instead of the brake pedal
will result in sudden acceleratio n that may lead to an accident.
⦁ When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to difficulty in
operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
⦁ Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle
only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accelerator pedals
properly.
⦁ Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake pedal
using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, resulting in an
accident.
⚫Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.
The exhaust pipes and exhaust gases can be extremely hot, and may cause a
fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
⚫During normal driving, do not turn of f the engine. 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 difficult to steer
and brake, so you should pull over and st op the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to do so.
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to
stop the vehicle in the normal way: ➞P. 3 6 7
⚫Use engine braking to maintain a safe speed when driving down a steep hill.
Using a foot brake continuously may cause the brake to overheat and lose
effectiveness. ( ➞P. 189)
⚫Depending on the road surface and speed, shift down as follows and also
use engine braking.
⦁Set the shift lever to S (continuousl y variable transmission vehicles)
⦁ Set Manual Mode ( ➞P. 190) and downshift by 1 gear at a time (continu-
ously variable transmission vehicles)
⦁ Lower the gear by 1 level (Manual transmission vehicles)

NOTICE
⬛Driving (continuously variable transmission vehicles)
⚫Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving.
Depressing the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time may restrain
the engine output.
⚫Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake ped-
als at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
⬛Driving (Manual transmission vehicles)
⚫Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving. Depressing the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time may
restrain the engine output.
⚫Do not move the shift lever without st epping on the clutch pedal all the way.
Doing so could damage the clutch or transmission.
⚫To prevent the clutch from being da maged, observe the following precau-
tions.
⦁ Do not drive with your foot placed on the clutch pedal
⦁ Avoid starting to move the vehicle when the shift lever is set to other than
the gear 1
⦁ Do not ride the clutch more than ne cessary especially when starting to
move the vehicle on a hill
⚫Do not set the shift lever to R while the vehicle is still moving. Doing so could
damage the clutch, transmission, or the gear.
⬛Parking (continuously variable transmission vehicles)
Always apply the parking brake, and set th e shift lever to P. If the parking brake
is not applied and the shift lever is no t set to P, it may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehicle may accelerate sudd enly if the accelerator pedal is acci-
dentally 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 ti me. Doing so may damage the electric power steer-
ing motor.
⚫When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the disc wheels, etc.

dBuzzer
BSM buzzer: When you have moved the turn signal lever to the side where the vehi-
cle is detected, the buzzer will sound.
RCTA Buzzer: When a vehicle approaching from the right or left rear end of your
vehicle is detected, the buzzer will sound.
WARNING
⬛To use the BSM function safely
The driver is responsible for driving the vehicle safely. It is th e driver’s responsi-
bility to be aware of the situations around the vehicle and drive safely.
The BSM function is an auxilia ry system designed to let the driver know of the
presence of a vehicle that has entere d or is rapidly approaching toward the
blind spot area of the outside rear view mirrors. Since this system alone is not
sufficient for determining the feasibility of changing lanes, overly relying on the
system could lead to an unforeseen accid ent, resulting in serious injury or
death.
This system does not work effectively depending on the circumstances. The
driver is responsible for checking the safety around the vehicle by using his/
her own eyes and the mirrors.
⬛To use the RCTA function safely
The driver is responsible for driving the vehicle safely. It is th e driver’s responsi-
bility to be aware of the situations around the vehicle and drive safely.
The RCTA function is an auxiliary system designed to let the driver know of the
presence of a vehicle that is approaching from the right or left rear of the vehi-
cle.
Even with the RCTA function enabled, this system does not work effectively
depending on the circumstances. The dr iver is responsible for checking the
safety around the vehicle by using his/her own eyes.
Overly relying on the system could lead to an unforeseen accident, resulting in
serious injury or death.

WARNING
⬛Before using the front corner sensors or reverse sensors
Make sure to observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so is dangerous, as it may lead to an unforeseen accident.
⚫Do not let the vehicle speed exceed approx. 10 km/h (6 mph).
⚫There is a limit to the sonar’s recognition range and activation speed. When
you move your vehicle forward or backward, make sure to check the safety
around the vehicle, which is outside the sonar’s recognition range (especially
the sides of the vehicle), use the brak e pedal to control the speed adequately
and drive slowly.
⚫Do not paste stickers or install accesso ries on the sonar sensors or their sur-
rounding areas.
⚫Vehicles with TFT color multi-informa tion display: If the warning message
“Sonar Sensor Function Stop” appears, check the sonar conditions. If the
warning message appears even when the sonar is not covered with rain,
snow, ice, or dirt, it could be due to a malfunction of the front corner sensors
or reverse sensors. Have the vehicl e inspected at your Toyota dealer.
⬛Front corner sensors and reverse sensors
In the following situations, the front corner sensors or reverse sensors may
not work normally and could lead to an unforeseen accident. Make sure to
drive carefully.
⚫Road conditions (slopes, unevenness, etc.)
⚫Vehicle’s maintenance conditions (brake-r elated issues, worn out tires, infla-
tion pressure, driving on a spare tire, etc.)
⚫Bad weather (heavy rain, snowstorm, fog, etc.)
⚫When the vehicle is signif icantly tilted by carrying a heavy load or being on
the surface with different height, or when the vehicle height has significantly
changed
⚫Distance from the obstacle, orientatio n or position (the obstacle is located
near the center of the vehicle)
⚫When driving on a steep slope
⚫When the sonar system cannot recognize the obstacle correctly (the follow-
ing cases in particular)
⦁ When an obstacle is extremely clos e to the sonar (when approaching too
close to the obstacle, the buzzer may change from continuous sound to
intermittent sound)
⦁ When an obstacle is located at a high position from the ground
⦁ Short obstacles
⦁ Small obstacles (such as small animals and infants), narrow obstacles

WARNING
⬛Rear-view camera
Failure to observe the following may cause death or serious injury.
⚫Do not overly rely on the rear-view camera. Just as when you drive a vehicle
without the rear-view camera, make su re to check the safety around and
behind your vehicle and drive carefully. Be particularly careful not to collide
with the parked vehicles nearby, obstacles, or people.
⚫When you back up, make sure to check the safety around and behind your
vehicle and drive carefully.
⚫Never drive the vehicle while looking at the screen only.
The image displayed on the screen ma y be different from the actual situa-
tion. Note that the projection range of the camera is limited. Never back up
while looking at the screen only. Doing so could get your vehicle hit or lead
to an unforeseen accident. Be sure to confirm the safety around by visually
checking the surroundings with your ey es or using the inside rear view mir-
ror and the outside rear view mirrors before driving.
⚫Never use it in the situations listed below.
⦁ Frozen, slippery or snowy roads
⦁ When tire chains or spare tires are used
⦁ When the back door is not closed fully
⦁ On a non-flat road surface such as slopes
⚫If the outside temperature is low, the screen may be come dark and the
image may become blurry. Especially since the moving objects may appear
blurred or disappear from the screen, always check the safety around you
directly with your eyes while driving.

WARNING
⬛The ABS does not operate effectively when
⚫Do not overly rely on the ABS.
The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as exces-
sively worn tires on a snow covered road).
⚫The vehicle hydroplanes while driving 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 th e vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the fol-
lowing situations:
⚫When driving on dirt, grav el or snow-covered roads
⚫When driving with tire chains
⚫When driving over bumps in the road
⚫When driving over roads with potholes or roads with uneven surfaces
⬛TRC/VSC may not operate effectively when
⚫Do not overly rely on the TRC/VSC.
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 condit ions where stability and power may be
lost.
⚫The VSC and TRC may not function proper ly when tire chains are installed.
⬛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 an d dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads.
⚫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 control to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may lead to
an accident.
⚫The hill-start assist control may no t become activated depending on the
number of occupants or luggage weight in the vehicle, or if the driver did not
step on the brake pedal strong enough when stopping.
⬛When the VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
⬛When the ABS warning light or slip indicator is on
The emergency brake signal ( ➞P. 232) may not be activated.

As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving force, do
not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
⬛Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the spec ified size, brand, tread pattern and total
load capacity. In addition, make sure th at the tires are inflated to the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will not func tion correctly if different tires are
installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for further information when replacing tires or
wheels.
⬛Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect the
driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.

2906-1. Maintenance and care
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
Cleaning the synthetic leather areas
⚫Remove dust using a vacuum cleaner
⚫Wipe it off with a soft cloth dampened with neutral detergent diluted to
approximately 1%
⚫Wring out any excess water from the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent and water
⬛Caring for leather areas
Toyota recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to
maintain the quality of the vehicle’s interior.
⬛Carpet cleaning
Toyota recommends that you keep the carpet dry at all times. To clean the car-
pet, a commercially available fo am-type cleaner can be used.
Use a sponge or brush to spread the foam over the carpet and work it in a cir-
cular motion. Do not apply water directly. Wipe off and dry.
⬛Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge.
Also check the seat belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
WARNING
⬛Water in the vehicle
⚫Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical components, etc., to malfunction or catch fire.
⚫Do not get any of the SRS airbag compon ents or wiring in the vehicle interior
wet. ( ➞P. 3 7 )
An electrical malfunction may cause the SRS airbags to deploy or not func-
tion properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
⬛Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use a polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect off
the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
⬛Caution: Area around the seats
Be very careful when putting your hand under a seat, such as when cleaning
the interior of the vehicle or picking up anything that has fallen under the seat.
Your hand may strike the seat rail or the base of the seat and be injured.
