Driving
WARNING
●During normal driving, do not
turn off the engine. Turning the
engine off while driving will not
cause loss of steering or brak-
ing control, but the power assist
to these systems will be lost.
This will make it more difficult to
steer and brake, so you should
pull over and stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an
emergency, such as if it
becomes impossible to stop the
vehicle in the normal way:
P. 3 4 8
●Use engine braking (shift posi-
tion B*1 or downshift*2) to main-
tain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously
may cause the brakes to over-
heat and lose effectiveness.
(
P.160, 162)
*1: Vehicles without paddle shift
switches
*2: Vehicles with paddle shift switches
●Do not adjust the positions of
the steering wheel, the seat, or
the inside or ou tside rear view
mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●Always check that all passen-
gers’ arms, heads or other parts
of their body are not outside the
vehicle.
●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
●Do not let the vehicle roll back-
ward while a fo rward driving
position is selected, or roll for-
ward 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.

1484-1. Before driving
WARNING
■If the vehicle becomes stuck
Do not spin the wheels exces-
sively when a driven wheel is up
in the air, or the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud, etc. This may damage
the driveline components or pro-
pel the vehicle forward or back-
ward, causing an accident.
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not depress t he accelerator
and brake pedals at the same
time during drivin g, as this may
restrain the engine output.
●Do not use the accelerator
pedal or depress the accelera-
tor and brake pedals at the
same time to hold the vehicle on
a hill.
■When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake and
shift the shift lever to P. Failure to
do so may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehi cle may acceler-
ate suddenly if the accelerator
pedal is accidentally depressed.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle
parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel
fully in either direction and hold
it there for an extended period
of time.
Doing so may damage the
power steering.
●When driving over bumps in the
road, drive as slowly as possible
to avoid damagi ng the wheels,
underside of the vehicle, etc.
●For APEX models: APEX vehi-
cle height is lower than other
vehicle grades.
Driving over rough or damaged
road surfaces, as well as park-
ing blocks, curbs, and other
obstacles may cause damage
to the underside of your vehicle.
Drive carefully under rough con-
ditions to avoid damage.
■If you get a flat tire while driv-
ing
A flat or damaged tire may cause
the following situations. Hold the
steering wheel firmly and gradu-
ally 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 abnor-
mally.
Information on what to do in case
of a flat tire (
P.370)
■When encountering flooded
roads
Do not drive on a road that has
flooded after h eavy rain etc.
Doing so may cause the following
serious damage to the vehicle:
●Engine stalling
●Short in electrical components
●Engine damage caused by
water immersion
In the event that you drive on a
flooded road and the vehicle
becomes flooded or stuck in mud
or sand, be sure to have your Toy-
ota dealer check the following:
●Brake function

1574-2. Driving procedures
4
Driving
1Stop the vehicle completely.
2 Set the parking brake
( 168), and shift the shift
lever to P.
Check the parking brake indicator
is illuminated.
3 Press the engine switch
shortly and firmly.
The engine will stop, and the meter
display will be extinguished.
4Release the brake pedal and
check that “ACCESSORY” or
“IGNITION ON” is not shown
on the multi-information dis-
p l a y.
■Automatic engine shut off fea-
ture
●The vehicle is equipped with a
feature that automatically shuts off
the engine when the shift lever is
in P with the engine running for an
extended period.
●The engine will automatically shut
off after approximately 1 hour if it
has been left running while the
shift lever is in P.
●The timer for the automatic engine
shut off feature will reset if the
brake pedal is depre ssed or if the
shift lever is in a position other than P.
●After the vehicle
is parked, if the
door is locked with the door lock
switch ( P.115) from the inside or
the mechanical key (P.381) from
the outside, the automatic engine
shut off feature will be disabled.
The timer for the automatic engine
shut off feature will be re-enabled
if the driver’s door is opened.NOTICE
■Symptoms indicating a mal-
function with the engine
switch
If the engine switch seems to be
operating somewh at differently
than usual, such as the switch
sticking slightly, there may be a
malfunction. Contact your Toyota
dealer immediately.
Stopping the engine
WARNING
■Stopping the engine in an
emergency
●If you want to stop the engine in
an emergency while driving the
vehicle, press and hold the
engine switch for more than 2
seconds, or press it briefly 3
times or more in succession.
(  P.348)
However, do not touch the
engine switch while driving
except in an emergency. Turn-
ing the engine off while driving
will not cause loss of steering or
braking control, but the power
assist to these systems will be
lost. This will make it more diffi-
cult to steer and brake, so you
should pull over and stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
●If the engine switch is operated
while the vehicle is running, a
warning message will be shown
on the multi-information display
and a buzzer sounds.
●To restart the engine after per-
forming an emergency shut-
down, shift the shift lever to N
and then press the engine
switch.

1924-5. Using the driving support systems
■Pre-collision brake assist
If the system determines that
the possibility of a collision is
high and the brake operation by
the driver is insufficient, the
braking power will be increased.
■Pre-collision brake control
If the system determines that
the possibility of a collision is
extremely high, the brakes are
automatically applied to help
avoid the collision or reduce the
impact of the collision.
■Emergency steering assist
If the system determines that
the following conditions are met,
assistance will be provided to
help enhance vehicle stability
and prevent lane departure.
During assistance, in addition to
the pre-collision warning, the fol-
lowing icon will be displayed on
the multi-information display.
 The possibility of a collision is
high
 There is sufficient space
within the lane to perform
evasive steering maneuvers
 The driver is operating the
steering wheel
During assistance, the pre-colli-
sion warning will operate and a
message will be displayed to
warn the driver.
■Intersection collision avoid-
ance support (left/right
turn)
In situations such as the follow-
ing, if the system determines
that the possibility of a collision
is high, the pre-collision warning
and pre-collision braking will
operate.
Depending on the intersection,
assistance may not operate cor-
rectly.
 When turning left/right at an
intersection and crossing the
path of an oncoming vehicle
 When turning left/right and an
oncoming pedestrian or bicy-
cle is detected

●In the following si tuations, system
operation may be canceled :
• When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving sup-
port system operates
(For example: PCS, drive-start
control)
• When the system determines that a detected object has moved
away from the vehicle
●In the following situations, system
assistance may be canceled :
• When lane lines can no longer be
detected
