WARNING
■Hill-start assist control pre-
cautions
●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.
●Do not stop the engine while
hill-start assist control is operat-
ing, as hill-start assist control
will stop operating, possibly
leading to an accident.

2624-6. Using other driving systems
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem)
Helps to prevent wheel lock
when the brakes are applied
suddenly, or if the brakes are
applied while driving on a slip-
pery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake
pedal is depressed when the
system detects a panic stop sit-
uation
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Con-
trol)
Helps the driver to control skid-
ding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road sur-
faces
■TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels
from spinning when starting the
vehicle or accelerating on slip-
pery roads
The TRAC system is also
equipped with the brake LSD
function.
■Hill-start assist control
 P.259
■EPS (Electric Power Steer-
ing)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort
needed to turn the steering
wheel
■When the TRAC/VSC systems
are operating
The slip indicator will flash while the
TRAC (Including brake LSD func-
tion)/VSC systems are operating.
■Disabling the TRAC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt
or snow, the TRAC system may
reduce power from the engine to the
wheels. Pressing switch to turn
the system off may make it easier
for you to rock the vehicle in order to
free it.
In this case, the brake LSD function
remains on.
To turn the TRAC system off, quickly
press and release switch.
Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving
safety and performance, the
following systems operate
automatically in response to
various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that
these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be
relied upon too heavily
when operating the vehicle.

■Sounds and vibrations caused
by the ABS, brake assist, TRAC
and VSC systems
●A sound may be heard from the
engine compartment when the
brake pedal is depressed repeat-
edly, when the engine is started or
just after the vehicle begins to
move. This sound does not indi-
cate that a malfunction has
occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions
may occur when t he above sys-
tems are operating. None of these
indicates that a malfunction has
occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate
slightly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is oper-
ated, a motor sou nd (whirring
sound) may be heard. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
■Automatic reactivation of TRAC
and VSC systems
After turning the TRAC and VSC
systems off, the systems will be automatically reactivated in the fol-
lowing situations:
●When the engine switch is turned
off.
●If only the TRAC sy
stem is turned
off, the TRAC will turn on when
vehicle speed is more than
approximately 31 mph (50 km/h).
If both the TRAC and VSC sys-
tems are turned o ff, automatic
reactivation will not occur when
vehicle speed increases.
■Reduced effectiveness of the
EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS sys-
tem is reduced to prevent the sys-
tem from overheating when there is
frequent steering input over an
extended period o f time. The steer-
ing wheel may f eel heavy as a
result. Should this occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or
stop the vehicle and turn the engine
off. The EPS system should return
to normal after a little while.
■Automatic deactivation of
“TRACK” mode
When the engine switch is turned off
after driving in “ TRACK” mode, the
mode is automatically deactivated.

WARNING
■The ABS does not operate
effectively when
●The limits of tire gripping perfor-
mance have been exceeded
(such as excessively 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 the vehicle’s stopping dis-
tance. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from the vehicle in front of
you, especially in the following sit-
uations:
●When driving on d irt, gravel or
snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps in the
road
●When driving over roads with
potholes or uneven surfaces
■TRAC may not operate effec-
tively when
Directional control and power may
not be achievable while driving on
slippery road surfaces, even if the
TRAC system is operating. Do not
drive the vehicle in conditions
where stability and power may be
lost.
■When the VSC and/or brake
LSD function is activated
The slip indicator flashes. Always
drive carefully. Reckless driving
may cause an accident. Exercise
particular care wh en the indicator
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.
■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.

tires are the sa me size, same
maker, same brand and tread pat-
tern.
Perform the following according
to the driving conditions:
 Do not try to forcibly open a
window or move a wiper that
is frozen. Pour warm water
over the frozen area to melt
the ice. Wipe away the water
immediately to prevent it from
freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of
the climate control system
fan, remove any snow that
has accumulated on the air
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.

excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the
exterior lights, vehicle’s roof,
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary
preparations and inspec-
tions before driving the
vehicle in winter. Always
drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the pre-
vailing weather conditions.
Preparation for winter
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so m ay result in a
loss of vehicle control and cause
death or serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size,
and that are the same size,
same maker, same brand and
tread pattern.
●Maintain the recommended
level of air pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75
mph (120 km/h), regardless of
the type of snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just
some wheels.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow
tires
Request repairs or replacement of
snow tires from Toyota dealers or
legitimate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and
attachment of snow tires affects
the operation of the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters.

chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud
from the bottom of your shoes
before getting in the vehicle.
 If a door is opened and closed
when its side window is fro-
zen, the window safety device
will operate and the side win-
dow open/close function
linked to door operation may
not operate correctly.
If this occurs, perform the fol-
lowing after the ice has
melted.
1 Open the window to the
approximately half open posi-
tion with the door closed.
2 Press and hold the power
window switch in the
one-touch opening position.
After the window is fully
opened, continue pressing
the switch for approximately
1 second.
3 Pull and hold the power win-
dow switch in the one-touch
closing position. After the
window is fully closed, con-
tinue pulling the switch for
approximately 1 second.
The window position wil lbe reset
and the operation of the window
safety device will be canceled.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly,
keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead, and
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.

Park the vehicle and shift the
shift lever to P (automatic
transmission), or 1 or R (man-
ual transmission) without set-
ting the parking brake. The
parking brake may freeze up,
preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is
parked without setting the
parking brake, make sure to
block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dan-
gerous because it may cause
the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly, possibly leading to an
accident.
 Vehicles with an automatic
transmission: If the vehicle is
parked without setting the
parking brake, confirm that
the shift lever cannot be
moved out of P
*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is
attempted to be sh ifted from P to
any other position without
depressing the brake pedal. If the
shift lever can be shifted from P,
there may be a problem with the
shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.
When driving the vehicle
When parking the vehicle

2684-7. Driving tips
Tire chains cannot be used on
your vehicle because of the lack
of clearance between the tires
and vehicle body.
When tire chains cannot be
used, use of another type of
traction device (such as spring
chains) may be acceptable if
use on your vehicle is recom-
mended by the device manufac-
turer, taking into account tire
size and road conditions. Follow
the device manufacturer's
instructions, especially regard-
ing maximum vehicle speed.
To help avoid damage to your
vehicle, drive slowly, readjust or
remove the device if it is con-
tacting your vehicle, and do not
spin your wheels. Damage
caused to your vehicle by use of
a traction device is not covered
under warranty.
Make certain that any traction
device you use is an SAE class
“S” device, and use it on the rear
wheels only. Always use the
utmost care when driving with a
traction device. Overconfidence
b e c a u s e y o u a r e u s i n g a t r a c t i o n
device could easily lead to a
serious accident.
We recommend that you consult
your Toyota dealer for informa-tion about the chains that you
can use.
