Driving
4 Slowly release the brake
pedal.
5 Lock the door, making sure
that you have the key on your
person.
If parking on a hill, block the wheels
as needed.
Manual transmission
1 While depressing the clutch
pedal, depress the brake
pedal.
2 Set the parking brake.
( P.163, 164)
Check that the parking brake indi-
cator is illuminated.
3Shift the shift lever to N.
( P.160)
If parking on a hill, shift the shift
lever to 1 or R and block the wheels
as needed.
4Vehicles without a smart key
system: Turn the engine
switch to OFF to stop the
engine.
Vehicles with a smart key
system: Press the engine
switch to stop the engine.
5 Slowly release the brake
pedal.
6 Lock the door, making sure
that you have the key on your
person.
■Starting off on a steep
uphill
Continuously variable trans-
mission
1 Make sure that the parking
brake is set and shift the shift
lever to D.
Hill-start assist control will operate.
( P.251)
2 Gently depress the accelera-
tor pedal.
3 Release the parking brake.
Manual transmission
1 Make sure that the parking
brake is set and shift the shift
lever to 1.
Hill-start assist control will operate.
( P.251)
2 Lightly depress the accelera-
tor pedal at the same time as
gradually releasing the clutch
pedal.
3 Release the parking brake.
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced,
the windows may become
fogged-up, and the road will be
slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to
rain, because the road surface will
be especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when
driving on an expressway in the
rain, because there may be a
layer of water between the tires
and the road surface, preventing
the steering and brakes from
operating properly.

1384-1. Before driving
COROLLA_U
WARNING
●Do not drive in excess of the
speed limit. Even if the legal
speed limit permits it, do not
drive over 85 mph (140 km/h)
unless your vehicle has
high-speed capability tires. Driv-
ing over 85 mph (140 km/h)
may result in tire failure, loss of
control and possible injury. Be
sure to consult a tire dealer to
determine whether the tires on
your vehicle are high-speed
capability tires or not before
driving at such speeds.
■When driving on slippery
road surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration
and steering may cause tire
slippage and reduce your ability
to control the vehicle.
●Sudden acceleration, engine
braking due to shifting, or
changes in engine speed could
cause the vehicle to skid.
●After driving through a puddle,
lightly depress the brake pedal
to make sure that the brakes
are functioning properly. Wet
brake pads may prevent the
brakes from functioning prop-
erly. If the brakes on only one
side are wet and not functioning
properly, steering control may
be affected.
■When shifting the shift lever
●Vehicles with a continuously
variable transmission: Do not let
the vehicle roll backward while a
forward driving position is
selected, or ro ll forward while
the shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine
to stall or lead to poor brake and
steering performance, resulting
in an accident or damage to the
vehicle.
●Vehicles with a continuously
variable transmission: Do not
shift the shift lever to P while the
vehicle is moving.
Doing so can damage the trans-
mission and may result in a loss
of vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R
while the vehicle is moving for-
ward.
Doing so can damage the trans-
mission and may result in a loss
of vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift lever to a
driving position while the vehicle
is moving backward.
Doing so can damage the trans-
mission and may result in a loss
of vehicle control.
●Moving the shift lever to N while
the vehicle is moving will disen-
gage the engine from the trans-
mission. Engine braking is not
available when N is selected.
●Vehicles with a continuously
variable transmission: Be care-
ful not to shift the shift lever with
the accelerator pedal
depressed. Shifting the shift
lever to any positions other than
P or N may lead to unexpected
rapid acceleration of the vehicle
that may cause an accident and
result in death or serious injury.
■If you hear a squealing or
scraping noise (brake pad
wear indicators)
Have the brake pads checked and
replaced by your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.
Rotor damage may result if the
pads are not replaced when
needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle
when the wear limits of the brake
pads and/or those of the brake
discs are exceeded.

■Total load capacity and seating
capacity
These details are also described on
the tire and loading information
label. ( P.453)
Vehicle load limits
Vehicle load limits include
total load capacity, seating
capacity, towing capacity
and cargo capacity.
 Total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight): P.524
Total load capacity means the
combined weight of occupants,
cargo and luggage.
 Seating capacity: 5 occu-
pants (Front 2, Rear 3)
Seating capacity means the max-
imum number of occupants
whose estimated average weight
is 150 lb. (68 kg) per person.
Towing capacity
Toyota does not recommend tow-
ing a trailer with your vehicle.
Cargo capacity
Cargo capacity may increase or
decrease depending on the
weight and the number of occu-
pants.
WARNING
■Overloading the vehicle
Do not overload the vehicle.
It may not only cause damage to
the tires, but also degrade steer-
ing and braking ability, resulting in
an accident.
Trailer towing
Toyota does not recom-
mend towing a trailer with
your vehicle. Toyota also
does not recommend the
installation of a tow hitch or
the use of a tow hitch carrier
for a wheelchair, scooter,
bicycle, etc. Your vehicle is
not designed for trailer tow-
ing or for the use of tow
hitch mounted carriers.

■If the brake hold operated indi-
cator flashes
 P. 4 8 7
WARNING
■When the vehicle is on a
steep incline
When using the brake hold sys-
tem on a steep incline exercise
caution. The brake hold function
may not hold the vehicle in such a
situation.
■When stopped on a slippery
road
The system cannot stop the vehi-
cle when the gripping ability of the
tires has been exceeded. Do not
use the system when stopped on
a slippery road.
NOTICE
■When parking the vehicle
The brake hold system is not
designed for use when parking
the vehicle for a long period of
time. Turning the engine switch off
while the system is holding the
brake may release the brake,
which would cause the vehicle to
move. When operating the engine
switch, depress the brake pedal,
shift the shift lever to P (continu-
ously variable transmission) or N
(manual transmission) and set the
parking brake.

■Enabling/disabling the
pre-collision system
The pre-collision system can be
enabled/disabled on
( P.548) of the multi-informa-
tion display.
The system is automatically
enabled each time the engine
switch is turned to ON.
If the system is disabled, the
PCS warning light will turn on
and a message will be displayed
on the multi-information display.
■Changing the pre-collision
warning timing
The pre-collision warning timing
can be changed on
( P.548) of the multi-informa-
tion display.
The warning timing setting is
retained when the engine switch is
turned off. However, if the pre-colli-
sion system is disabled and
re-enabled, the operation timing will
return to the default setting (mid-
dle).

from its lane or course
*, a warn-
ing is displayed on the
multi-information display, and a
warning buzzer will sound to
alert the driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds,
check the area around your vehicle
and carefully operate the steering
wheel to move the vehicle back to
the center of the lane.

the vehicle might depart from its
lane and that the possibility of a col-
lision with an overtaking vehicle in
the adjacent lane is high, the lane
departure alert will operate even if
the turn signals are operating.
