CAUTION
If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as ABS and the SRS airbag warning light
not come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems
are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in
death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional imme-
diately if this occurs.
*1: These lights turn on when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start sys-
tem) or the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) to indicate that a system check is being
performed. They will turn off after the engine is started, or after a few
seconds. There may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not
turn on, or if the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional for details.
*2: The light flashes quickly to indicate that the system is operating.
*3: The light turns on when the system is turned off.

remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents
in front of the windshield.

Accelerate the vehicle slowly and drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.
When parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to “P” (Multidrive or
automatic transmission) or “R” (manual transmission) without

To maintain engine braking efficiency, when using engine brak-
ing, do not use the transmission in “6”.
If the engine overheats...
Towing a loaded trailer up a long steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30C (85F) may result in the engine overheating. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge indicates that the engine is
overheating, turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the
road and stop the vehicle in a safe place. (P. 714)
When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under the wheels of both the vehicle
