●Acceleration Suppression at Low Speed
The Acceleration Suppression at Low Speed function will not ope rate when
the turn signal lig hts are flashing.
While the Acceleration Suppression at Low Speed function is ope rating, if
any of the following are performed, the low speed sudden acceleration sup-
pression function oper ation will be canceled:
• The accelerator pedal is released
• The steering wheel is ope rated heavily or suddenly
■Detection of detectable objects
Objects are detected based on their
size, shape, and move-
ment.Depending on the ambient
brightness, movement, posture and
direction of a det ectable object, it
may not be detected and the system
may not operate properly. The sys-
tem detects shapes, such as the fol-
lowing, as detectable objects.
■Situations in which the system
may operate even though the
possibility of a co llision is not
high
●In certain situations, such as the
following, the sys tem may deter-
mine that the possibility of a colli-
sion is high and operate:
• When passing a detectable object
• When changing lanes while over-
taking a detectable object • When suddenly approaching a
detectable object
• When approaching a detectable
object or other ob ject on the road-
side, such as guardrails, utility
poles, trees, walls, etc.
• When there is a d etectable object
or other object by the roadside at
the entrance of a curve
• When there are patterns or a painting ahead of the vehicle that
may be mistaken for a detectable
object
• When passing a detectable object that is changing lanes or turning
left/right

WARNING
●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.
■When the
TRAC/ABS/VSC/Trailer Sway
Control 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 TRAC/VSC/Trailer
Sway Control 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/Trailer Sway Con-
trol systems off unless necessary.
Trailer Sway Control is part of the
VSC system and will not operate
if VSC is turned off or experiences
a malfunction.
■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 pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC, VSC and Trailer
Sway Control systems will not
function 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.
■Trailer Sway Control precau-
tion
The Trailer Sway Control system
is not able to red uce trailer sway
in all situations. Depending on
many factors such as the condi-
tions of the vehicle, trailer, road
surface and driving environment,
the Trailer Sway Control system
may not be effective. Refer to
your trailer owner’s manual for
information on how to tow your
trailer properly.
■If trailer sway occurs
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failing to do so may cause death
or serious injury.
●Firmly grip the steering wheel.
Steer straight ahead. Do not try
to control trailer swaying by
turning the steering wheel.
●Begin releasing the accelerator
pedal immediately but very
gradually to reduce speed.
Do not increase speed. Do not
apply vehicle brakes.
If you make no extreme correction
with the steering or brakes, your
vehicle and traile r should stabi-
lize. ( P.229)

Maintenance and care
Summer tires are high-speed perfor-
mance tires best suited to highway
driving under dry conditions. Since
summer tires do not have the same
traction performanc e as snow tires,
summer tires are inadequate for
driving on snow-covered or icy
roads. For driving on snow-covered
roads or icy roads, the use of snow
tires is recommended. When install-
ing snow tires, be sure to replace all
four tires.
●All season tires
All season tires are designed to pro-
vide better traction in snow and to
be adequate for driving in most win-
ter conditions a s well as for use
year-round. All season tires, how-
ever, do not have adequate traction
performance compared with snow
tires in heavy or loose snow. Also,
all season tires fall short in accelera-
tion and handling performance com-
pared with summer tires in highway
driving.
●Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered roads
or icy roads, we recommend using
snow tires. If you need snow tires,
select tires of the same size, con-
struction and load capacity as the
originally installed tires. Since your
vehicle has radial tires as original
equipment, make sure your snow
tires also have radial construction.
Do not install stud ded tires without
first checking local regulations for
possible restrictions. Snow tires
should be installed on all wheels.
(  P.393)
■If the tread on snow tires wears
down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)
The effectiveness of the tires as
snow tires is lost.
WARNING
■When inspecting or replacing
tires
Observe the following precautions
to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause dam-
age to parts of the drive train as
well as dangerous handling char-
acteristics, which may lead to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
●Do not mix tires of different
makes, models or tread pat-
terns.
Also, do not mix tires of remark-
ably different treadwear.
●Do not use tire sizes other than
those recommended by Toyota.
●Do not mix differently con-
structed tires (radial, bias-belted
or bias-ply tires).
●Do not mix summer, all season
and snow tires.
●Do not use tires that have been
used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not
know how they were used previ-
ously.
NOTICE
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving
on roads with loose surfaces or
potholes.
These conditions may cause
losses in tire inflation pressure,
reducing the cushioning ability of
the tires. In addition, driving on
rough roads may cause damage
to the tires themselves, as well as
the vehicle’s wheels and body.

■Routine tire inflation pressure
checks
The tire pressure warning system
does not replace routine tire inflation
pressure checks . Make sure to
check tire inflation pressure as part
of your routine o f daily vehicle
checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to dis-
play the tire inflation pressure
after the power switch is turned to
ON. It may also take a few min-
utes to display the tire inflation
pressure after infl ation pressure
has been adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes
with temperature.
The displayed values may also be
different from the values mea-
sured using a tire pressure gauge.
■Situations in which the tire
pressure warning system may
not operate properly
●In the following cases, the tire
pressure warning system may not
operate properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a
tire that is not an OE (Original
Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a
tire that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains etc. are equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, particularly around the
wheels or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely higher than the speci-
fied level.
• If wheels without tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is
not registered in the tire pressure
warning computer.

4787-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_enmore, park the vehicle in a safe
place for approximately 15 minutes
and then drive th
e vehicle again.
■When performing wheel posi-
tion registration
●Normally, wheel position registra-
tion can be completed within
approximately 30 minutes.
●Wheel position registration is per-
formed while driving at a vehicle
speed of approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more.
■The initialization operation
●If the power switch is turned off
while registering the wheel posi-
tion, the next time the power
switch is turned to ON, the wheel
position registr ation will resume
and it will not be necessary to
restart the procedure.
●While the position of each tire is
being determined and the inflation
pressures are not being displayed
on the multi-information display, if
the inflation pres sure of a tire
drops, the tire pressure warning
light will come on.
■If the tire pressure warning sys-
tem is not registered properly
●In the following situations, wheel
position registration may take lon-
ger than usual to b e completed or
may not be possible.
• Vehicle is not driven at approxi-
mately 25 mph ( 40 km/h) or more
• Vehicle is driven on unpaved roads
If initialization does not complete
after driving for 1 hour or more, park
the vehicle in a safe place for
approximately 15 minutes and then
drive the vehicle again.
●If the vehicle is reversed during
wheel position registration, all
data collected until then will be
cleared. Perform driving again.
■When you need to setting
the tire pressure
In the following situations, it will
be necessary to perform the tire
inflation pressure setting proce-
dure of the tire pressure warning
system.
 When the specified tire infla-
tion pressure has changed,
such as due to carried load,
etc.
 When the tire inflation pres-
sure is changed such as
when the tire size is changed.
If the tire inflation pressure has
been adjusted to the specified
level, perform the tire inflation
setting procedure by selecting
specified inflation pressure on
the multi-information display.
When the tire inflation pressure
is to be other than specified,
such as when tires other than
the specified size are used, etc.,
set the tire inflation pressure
using the current pressure.
Make sure to adjust the tire
inflation pressure of each tire to
the appropriate level before per-
forming tire pressure setting.
The tire pressure warning sys-
tem operates based on this tire
inflation pressure.

Maintenance and care
When replacing wheels, care
should be taken to ensure that
they are equivalent to those
removed in load capacity, diam-
eter, rim width and inset
*.
Replacement wheels are avail-
able at your Toyota dealer.
*: Conventionally referred to as off- set.
Toyota does not recommend
using the following:
 Wheels of different sizes or
types
 Used wheels
 Bent wheels that have been
straightened
■When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are
equipped with tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters that allow
the tire pressure warning system to
provide advance warning in the
event of a loss in tire inflation pres-
sure. Whenever wheels are
replaced, tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters must be
installed. ( P.476)
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked
or heavily corroded, it
should be replaced. Other-
wise, the tire may separate
from the wheel or cause a
loss of handling control.
Wheel selection
WARNING
■When replacing wheels
●Do not use wheels that are a dif-
ferent size from those recom-
mended in the Owner’s Manual,
as this may result in a loss of
handling control.
●Never use an inner tube in a
leaking wheel which is designed
for a tubeless tire. Doing so may
result in an accident, causing
death or serious injury.
■Wheel bolts
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of death or seri-
ous injury:
●Do not over tighten.
●Never use oil or grease on the
wheel bolts. Oil and grease may
cause the wheel bolts to be
excessively tightened, leading
to bolt or disc wheel damage. In
addition, the oil or grease can
cause the wheel bolts to loosen
and the wheel may fall off, caus-
ing a serious accident. Remove
any oil or grease from the wheel
bolts.
●If there are any cracks or defor-
mations in the wheel bolts, or if
the surface treatment becomes
worn, have the wheel bolts
replaced at your Toyota dealer.
Failure to follow these precau-
tions could cause the wheel
bolts to loosen and the tire to fall
off, resulting in death or serious
injury.
■Use of defective wheels pro-
hibited
Do not use cracke d or deformed
wheels.
Doing so could cause the tire to
leak air during driving, possibly
causing an accident.
