■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.
■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 accelerator pedal is
released
●When the brake pedal is
depressed while sport mode is
selected
■Restraining the engine output
(Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake
pedals are depressed at the same
time, the engine output may be
restrained.
●A warning message is displayed
on the multi-info rmation 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 the accelerator
and brake pedals at the same
time during driving, 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 driving the vehicle
(vehicles with a manual trans-
mission)
●Do not depress the accelerator
and brake pedals at the same
time during driving, as this may
restrain the engine output.
●Do not shift gears unless the
clutch pedal is fully depressed.
After shifting, do not release the
clutch pedal abruptly. Doing so
may damage the clutch, trans-
mission and gears.
●Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause
excessive premature wear or
damage to the clutch, eventu-
ally making it difficult to acceler-
ate and start off from a stop.
Have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal or depress it any
time other than when shifting.
Doing so may cause clutch trou-
ble.
• Do not use any gear other than the 1st gear when starting off
and moving forward.
Doing so may damage the
clutch.
• Do not use the clutch pedal to adjust vehicle speed.
Doing so may damage the
clutch.
• When stopping the vehicle with the shift lever in a position other
than N, make sure to fully
depress the clutch pedal and
stop the vehicle using the
brakes.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R
without the vehicle completely
stopped.
Doing so may damage the
clutch, transmission and gears.
■When parking the vehicle
(vehicles with a continuously
variable transmission)
Always set the parking brake and
shift the shift lever to P. Failure to
do so may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehicle may acceler-
ate suddenly if the accelerator
pedal is accidentally depressed.

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 (continuously variable trans-
mission) or the parking brake is
set (manual transmission) 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 (continuously
variable transmission) or the park-
ing brake is set (manual transmis-
sion).
●The timer for the automatic engine
shut off feature will reset if the
brake pedal (continuously variable
transmission) or the clutch pedal
(manual transmission) is
depressed, or if the shift lever is in
a position other than P (continu-
ously variable transmission) or the
parking brake is released (man-
ual transmission).
●After the vehicle is parked, if the
door is locked with the door lock
switch ( P.103) from the inside or
the mechanical key ( P.504) 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.
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.464)
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.

■When parking
Exhaust gases include harmful
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Observe
the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause
exhaust gases to enter the vehicle
and may lead to an accident
caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-
lated area or a closed area,
such as a garage, stop the
engine.
●Do not leave the vehicle with
the engine running for a long
time. If such a situation cannot
be avoided, park the vehicle in
an open space and ensure that
exhaust fumes do not enter the
vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the engine running
in an area with snow build-up,
or where it is snowing. If snow-
banks build up around the vehi-
cle while the engine is running,
exhaust gases may collect and
enter the vehicle.
