Driving■ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem)
Helps to prevent wheel lock 
when the brakes are applied 
suddenly, or if the brakes are 
applied while driving on a slip-
pery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of 
braking force after the brake 
pedal is depressed when the 
system detects a panic stop sit-
uation
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Con-
trol)
Helps the driver to control skid-
ding when swerving suddenly or 
turning on slippery road sur-
faces.
■Enhanced VSC (Enhanced 
Vehicle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of 
the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional 
stability when swerving on slip-
pery road surfaces by con-
trolling steering performance.
■Secondary Collision Brake
When the airbag sensor detects 
a collision, the brakes and stop 
lights are automatically con-
trolled to reduce the vehicle 
speed and that helps reduce the 
possibility of further damage 
due to a secondary collision.
■TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power 
and prevent the drive wheels 
from spinning when starting the 
vehicle or accelerating on slip-
pery roads
■Active Cornering Assist 
(ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle 
from drifting to the outer side by 
performing inner wheel brake 
control when attempting to 
accelerate while turning
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward 
movement of the vehicle when 
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steer-
ing)
Employs an electric motor to 
reduce the amount of effort 
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and 
performance, the following 
systems operate automati-
cally in response to various 
driving situations. Be 
aware, however, that these 
systems are supplementary 
and should not be relied 
upon too heavily when oper-
ating the vehicle.

needed to turn the steering 
wheel.
■When the TRAC/VSC systems 
are operating
The slip indicator  light will flash 
while the TRAC/VSC systems are 
operating.
■Disabling the TRAC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt 
or snow, the TRAC system may 
reduce power from the engine to the 
wheels. Pressing   to turn the 
system off may mak e it easier for 
you to rock the vehicle in order to 
free it.
To turn the TRAC system off, quickly 
press and release  .
The “Traction Control Turned OFF” 
will be shown on the multi-informa-
tion display.
Press   again to turn the system 
back on.
■Turning off both TRAC and VSC 
systems
To turn the TRAC and VSC systems 
off, press and h old  for more  than 3 seconds while the vehicle is 
stopped.
The VSC OFF indicator light will 
come on and the “Traction Control 
Turned OFF” will be shown on the 
multi-information display.
*
Press  again to turn the system 
back on.
*: PCS will also be 
disabled (only 
Pre-Collision warning is avail-
able). The PCS warning light will 
come on and a  message will be 
displayed on the multi-information 
display. ( P.185)
■When the message is dis-
played on the multi-information 
display showing that TRAC has 
been disabled even if  has 
not been pressed
TRAC is temporary deactivated. If 
the information continues to show, 
contact your Toyota dealer.
■Operating conditions of 
hill-start assist control
When the following  four conditions 
are met, the hill-star t assist control 
will operate:
●Vehicles with a continuously vari-
able transmission: The shift lever 
is in a position o ther than P or N 
(when starting off forward/back-
ward on an upward incline).
●Vehicles with a  manual transmis-
sion: The shift lever is in a position 
other than R when  starting off for-
ward on an upward incline, or the 
shift lever is in R when starting off 
backward on an upward incline.
●The vehicle is stopped
●The accelerator pedal is not 
depressed
●The parking brake is not engaged

Driving
■Automatic system cancelation 
of hill-start as sist control
The hill-start assis t control will turn 
off in any of the following situations:
●Vehicles with a continuously vari-
able transmission: The shift lever 
is shifted to P or N.
●Vehicles with a  manual transmis-
sion: The shift lever is shifted to R 
when starting off forward on an 
upward incline, or the shift lever is 
shifted to other than R when start-
ing off backward on an upward 
incline.
●The accelerator pedal is 
depressed
●The parking brake is engaged
●2 seconds at maximum elapsed 
after the brake pedal is released
■Sounds and vibrations caused 
by the ABS, brake assist, VSC, 
TRAC and hill-start assist con-
trol systems
●A sound may be heard from the 
engine compartment when the 
brake pedal is dep ressed repeat-
edly, when the engine is started or 
just after the vehicle begins to 
move. This sound does not indi-
cate that a malfunction has 
occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions 
may occur when t he above sys-
tems are operating. None of these 
indicates that a malfunction has 
occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the  vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also  after the vehicle  comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate 
slightly after the  ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down  slightly after the  ABS is activated.
■Active Cornering Assist opera-
tion sounds and vibrations
When the Active Cornering Assist is 
operated, operation sounds and 
vibrations may b e generated from  the brake system, but this is not a 
malfunction.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is oper-
ated, a motor sound (whirring 
sound) may be heard. This does not 
indicate a malfunction.
■Automatic reactivation of TRAC 
and VSC systems
After turning th e TRAC and VSC 
systems off, the systems will be 
automatically re-enabled in the fol-
lowing situations:
●When the engine switch is turned 
off
●If only the TRAC sy stem is turned 
off, the TRAC will turn on when 
vehicle speed increases
If both the TRAC and VSC sys-
tems are turned o ff, automatic 
re-enabling will not occur when 
vehicle speed increases.
■Operating conditions of Active 
Cornering Assist
The system operates when the fol-
lowing occurs.
●TRAC/VSC can operate
●The driver is attempting to accel-
erate while turning
●The system detects that the vehi-
cle is drifting to the outer side
●The brake pedal is released
■Reduced effectiveness of the 
EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS sys-
tem is reduced to prevent the sys-
tem from overheating when there is 
frequent steering input over an 
extended period o f time. The steer-
ing wheel may f eel heavy as a 
result. Should this  occur, refrain 
from excessive steering input or 
stop the vehicle and turn the engine 
off. The EPS system should return 
to normal within 10 minutes.

■Secondary Collision Brake 
operating conditions
The vehicle speed is approximately 
6 mph (10 km/h) or more and the 
airbag sensor detects a collision. 
(The Secondary Collision Brake will 
not operate when the vehicle speed 
is below approximately 6 mph [10 
km/h].)
■Secondary Collision Brake 
automatic cancellation
The Secondary Collision Brake is 
automatically cance led in the follow-
ing situations:
●The vehicle speed drops below 
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h)
●A certain amount o f time elapses 
during operation
●The accelerator pedal is 
depressed a large amount
WARNING
■The ABS does not operate 
effectively when
●The limits of tire gripping perfor-
mance have been exceeded 
(such as excessively worn tires 
on a snow covered road).
●The vehicle hydroplanes while 
driving at high speed on wet or 
slick roads.
■Stopping distance when the 
ABS is operating may exceed 
that of normal conditions
The ABS is not designed to 
shorten the vehicle’s stopping dis-
tance. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from the vehicle in front of 
you, especially in  the following sit-
uations:
●When driving on d irt, gravel or 
snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps in the 
road
●When driving over roads with 
potholes or uneven surfaces
■TRAC/VSC may not operate 
effectively when
Directional control and power may 
not be achievable while driving on 
slippery road surfaces, even if the 
TRAC/VSC system is operating. 
Drive the vehicle  carefully in con-
ditions where stability and power 
may be lost.
■Active Cornering Assist does 
not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on Active 
Cornering Assist. Active Corner-
ing Assist may not operate 
effectively when accelerating 
down slopes or driving on slip-
pery road surfaces.
●When Active Corn ering Assist 
frequently operates, Active Cor-
nering Assist may temporarily 
stop operating to ensure proper 
operation of the brakes, TRAC 
and VSC.
■Hill-start assist control does 
not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start 
assist control. Hill-start assist 
control may not operate effec-
tively on steep inclines and 
roads covered with ice.
●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.

Driving
WARNING
■When the TRAC/VSC is acti-
vated
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 road 
conditions. As these are the sys-
tems to help ensure vehicle stabil-
ity and driving force, do not turn 
the TRAC/VSC systems off 
unless necessary.
■Secondary Collision Brake
Do not overly rely on the Second-
ary Collision Brake. This system 
is designed to help reduce the 
possibility of fur ther damage due 
to a secondary collision, however, 
that effect changes according to 
various conditions. 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, 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 and VSC sys-
tems will not f unction 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.

to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the 
vehicle being unable to be driven 
safely, and may cause death or 
serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the
spee
 d limit specifi ed for the 
tirechain
s being used, or 30 mph
(50 km/h), whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road
surfaces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration,ab rupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that
cause sudden engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently beforeen tering a curve to ensure that
vehicle
 control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist) system. (if equipped)
●Do not use LDA  (Lane Depar-
ture Alert with steering control)
system. (if equipped)
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow
tires
Request repairs or replacement of 
snow tires from Toyota dealers or 
legitimate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and 
attachment of snow tires affects 
the operation of the tire pressure 
warning valves and transmitters.

Driving
Perform the following according 
to the driving conditions:
 Do not try to forcibly open a 
window or move a wiper that 
is frozen. Pour warm water 
over the frozen area to melt 
the ice. Wipe away the water 
immediately to prevent it from 
freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of 
the climate control system 
fan, remove any snow that 
has accumulated on the air 
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.
 Check for and remove any 
excess ice or snow that may 
have accumulated on the 
exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, 
chassis, around the tires or on 
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud 
from the bottom of your shoes 
before getting in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, 
keep a safe distance between 
you and the vehicle ahead, and 
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.
 Park the vehicle and shift the 
shift lever to P (continuously  variable transmission), or 1 or 
R (manual  transmission) 
without setting the parking 
brake. The parking brake may 
freeze up, preventing it from 
being released. If the vehicle 
is parked without setting the 
parking brake, make sure to 
block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dan-
gerous because it may cause 
the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly, possibly leading to an 
accident.
 Vehicles with a continuously 
variable transmission: If the 
vehicle is parked without set-
ting the parking brake, con-
firm that the shift lever cannot 
be moved out of P
*.
*: The shift lever will  be locked if it is 
attempted to be sh ifted from P to 
any other position without 
depressing the brake pedal. If the 
shift lever can be shifted from P, 
there may be a problem with the 
shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota 
dealer immediately.
Use the correct tire chain size 
when mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each 
tire size.
