■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully whe n it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced,
the windows may become
fogged-up, and the road will be
slippery.
●Drive carefully whe n it starts to
rain, because the road surface will
be especially slippery.
●Refrain from hig h 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.
■Engine speed while driving
(vehicles with a continuously
variable transmission)
In the following conditions, the
engine speed may become high
while driving. This is due to auto-
matic up-shifting control or
down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not
indicate sudden acceleration.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving
uphill or downhill
●When the accele rator pedal is
released
●When the bra ke pedal is
depressed while sport mode is
selected
■Restraining the engine output
(Brake Override System)
●When the accelera tor and brake
pedals are depressed at the same
time, the engine output may be
restrained.
●A warning message is displayed
on the multi-information display

1364-1. Before driving
COROLLA H/B_U
WARNING
●The brake system consists of 2
individual hydraulic systems; if
one of the systems fails, the
other will still operate. In this
case, the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than
usual and the braking distance
will increase. Have your brakes
fixed immediately.
■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
(vehicles with a continuously
variable transmission)
●Do not depress t he accelerator
and brake pedals at the same

The iMT optimally controls the engine speed to suit the driver’s
operation of the clutch pedal
and shift lever, helping the driver
to shift gears more smoothly.
Additionally, when the clutch
pedal is operated, the iMT helps
reduce shift shock, allowing for
lighter shift operations when
driving on a winding road or
incline.
Press the “iMT” switch.
The “iMT” indicator will illuminate in
green.
