excessively worn tires on a snow covered road).
● The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or s lick roads.
■ Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor-
mal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the
following situations:
● When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
● When driving with tire chains
● When driving over bumps on the road
● When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces

WARNING
■Hill- start assist control does not operate effectively when
● Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start ass ist control may
not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered wit h ice.
● Unlike the parking brake, hill-start assist control is not inte nded to hold the
vehicle stationary 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 accident.
■ When the TRAC/VSC 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 systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the r oad condi-
tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving
force, do not turn the TRAC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
■ Secondary Collision Brake
Do not overly rely solely upon the Secondary Collision Brake. This system
is designed to help reduce the possibility of further damage du e to a sec-
ondary collision, however, that effect changes according to various condi-
tions. Overly relying on the system may result in death or serious injury.
■ Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, trea d pattern and
total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the
recommended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for further information when replaci ng tires or
wheels.
■ Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspensio n will affect
the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.

on the multi-information display
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow or ice. In such case s, if it is
removed from the sensor, the system should return to normal.
Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low temperatures, a mal function dis-
play may appear or an object may not be detected. If the sensor thaws out,
the system should return to normal.
■ If “Parking Assist Unavailable” is displayed on the multi-infor mation dis-
play
Water may be continuously flowing over the sensor surface, such as in a
heavy rain. When the system determines that it is normal, the system will
return to normal.
■ Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around th e vehicle’s
front and rear bumpers.
● The following situations may occur during use.
• Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the de tection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
• Detection may be impossible if static objects draw too close to the sen-
sor.
• There will be a short delay between static object detection an d display
(warning buzzer sounds). Even at low speeds, there is a possibi lity that
the object will come within 1.0 ft. (30 cm) before the display is shown and
the warning buzzer sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the audio sys-
tem or air flow noise of the air conditioning system.
• It may be difficult to hear the sound of this system due to the buzzers of
other systems.
