If a malfunction occurs
while driving
WA R N I N G
If a malfunction occurs while driv-
ing, immediately stop the vehicle
in a safe place.
If a warning light illuminates or
flashes, or a warning message is
displayed, immediately stop the
vehicle in a safe place. Do not
open the hood to inspect the
engine, as doing so may lead to
serious injury, such as steam
burns. If a warning message is
displayed, perform the necessary
procedures according to the dis-
played message or explanation in
the owner’s manual.
These warning messages indicate
that a malfunction has occurred in
a system or function of the vehi-
cle. If you continue to drive the
vehicle, the engine may stop sud-
denly, possibly leading to an acci-
dent. Also, even if no warning
lights are illuminated or messages
are displayed, if any abnormal
sounds, smells or vibrations are
detected, or of the engine stops
suddenly, refrain from opening the
hood to inspect the engine and
consult an authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WA R N I N G
If you hear a loud noise or feel
something impact the underside
of the vehicle while driving, imme-
diately stop the vehicle in a safe
place.

If you have been involved in a
collision, perform the following:
1Immediately leave the vehi-
cle and move to a safe place
in order to avoid secondary
collisions. Make sure to turn
the engine switch off to help
prevent the vehicle from
catching fire. If the airbags
have deployed (inflated), the
WA R N I N G
After stopping the vehicle in a
safe place, check the underside of
the vehicle for any leaking brake
fluid, oil or fuel. If any fluid is leak-
ing, stop driving immediately and
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized Toyota retailer or Toy-
ota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
Brake and fuel lines run under the
floor of the vehicle. If any of these
lines are damaged, the brakes
may fail or leaking fuel may ignite
and cause a fire.
WA R N I N G
During normal driving, do not turn
off 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 stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
WA R N I N G
While driving, if a tire has been
punctured or has ruptured, firmly
grip the steering wheel, gradually
reduce the vehicle speed and
stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Avoid sudden braking and steer-
ing operations as doing so may
cause you to lose control of the
vehicle. Gradually reduce the
vehicle speed and stop the vehi-
cle in a safe place.

and request assistance. If
someone has no obvious
external injuries, but they
may have a head injury, keep
their airway open while mov-
ing them as little as possible.

cle being involved in a sec-
ondary collision, move the
injured person to a safe place
while keeping them as hori-
zontal as possible.
