5-1. Before driving
When the following unusual opera-
tion is performed with the accelera-
tor pedal depressed, the EV system
output may be restrained.
• When the shift position to R*.
• When the shift position is shifted
from P or R to forward drive shift
position such as D*.
When the system operates, a mes-
sage appears on the multi-informa-
tion display. Read the message and
follow the instruction.
NOTICE
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the
following situations. Hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the
vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your vehicle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnormally.
Information on what to do in case of a
flat tire ( P.528)
■When encountering flooded
roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain, etc. Doing so
may cause the following serious dam- age to the vehicle:
●Short in electrical components
●Traction battery damage caused by
water immersion
In the event that you drive on a
flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be sure to have any autho-rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer check the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in quantity and quality of transmission fluid, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the bearings and suspension joints (where possi-
ble), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.
●Components connected to the trac-tion battery.
If the shift control system is damaged
by flooding, it may not be possible to
shift the shift position to P, or from P
to other positions. In this case, con-
tact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
■When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake, and
shift the shift position to P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle may accelerate sud-
denly if the accelerator pedal is acci- dentally depressed.
■When involved in a minor acci-dent
Damage to the traction battery or bat-
tery peripheral components could cause malfunctions. Even if it is a minor accident, have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

7 Decreases the sensitivity
8 Washer/wiper dual opera-
tion
Pulling the lever operates the wipers
and washer.
The wipers will automatically operate a
couple of times after the washer squirts.
(After operating several times, the wip-
ers operate once more time after a
short delay to prevent dripping. How-
ever, the dripping prevention does not
operate while the vehicle is moving.)
Vehicles with headlight cleaners: When
the power switch is in ON and the
headlights are on, if the lever is pulled,
the headlight cleaners will operate
once. After this, the headlight cleaners
will operate every 5th time the lever is
pulled.
■The windshield wipers and washer can be operated when
The power switch is in ON.
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles with rain-sens-ing windshield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the Intermittent wiper interval.
■Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
●The raindrop sensor judges the amount of raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may not operate properly when sunlight from the rising or setting of the sun
intermittently strikes the windshield, or if bugs, etc., are present on the wind-shield.
●If the wiper switch is turned to the “AUTO” position while the power
switch is in ON, the wipers will operate once to show that AUTO mode is acti-vated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-
sor is 90°C (194°F) or higher, or -15°C (5°F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate
the wipers in any mode other than AUTO mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked, if there is washer fluid in the washer fluid tank.

5-3. Operating the lights and wipers
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in AUTO mode
(vehicles with rain-sensing wind- shield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate
unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the windshield is subject to vibra-tion in AUTO mode. Take care that
your fingers, etc. do not become caught in the windshield wipers.
■Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer
fluid until the windshield becomes warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility.
This may lead to an accident, result- ing in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continually
as the washer fluid pump may over- heat.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.Do not try to clear it with a pin or other
object. The nozzle will be damaged.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
Do not leave the wipers on longer than necessary when the EV system
is off.

reduce the risk of accidents. Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit specified for the snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some
wheels.

cle being unable to be driven safely, and may cause death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being used, or 50 km/h (30 mph),
whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road sur-
faces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
steering, sudden braking and shift- ing operations that cause sudden regenerative braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before enter-ing a curve to ensure that vehicle

NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of
snow tires from any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer or legitimate

ditioning system after use is normal.)
●Flat-looking tires, excessive tire
squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear
●Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road
●Strange noises related to suspension movement
●Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy feeling brake pedal, pedal almost touches the floor, vehicle pulls to one
