NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle (vehi- 
cles with a Multidrive)
●Do not depress the accelerator and  brake pedals at the same time dur- 
ing driving, as this may restrain the 
engine output.
●Do not use the accelerator pedal or 
depress the accelerator and brake 
pedals at the same time to hold the  vehicle on a hill.
■When driving the vehicle (vehi-cles with a manual transmission)
●Do not depress the accelerator and  
brake pedals at the same time dur- ing driving, as this may restrain the  
engine output.
●Do not shift gears unless the clutch 
pedal is fully depressed. After shift-
ing, do not release the clutch pedal  abruptly. Doing so may damage the  
clutch, transmission and gears.
●Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exces-
sive premature wear or damage to  the clutch, eventually making it diffi- 
cult to accelerate and start off from 
a stop. Have the vehicle inspected  by any authorized Toyota retailer or  
Toyota authorized repairer, or any 
reliable repairer. 
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch  
pedal or depress it any time other 
than when shifting. Doing so may cause clutch trouble. 
• Do not use any gear other than the  1st gear when starting off and mov- 
ing 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 with-out the vehicle completely stopped. 
Doing so may damage the clutch, 
transmission and gears.
■When parking the vehicle (vehi-
cles with a Multidrive) 
Always set the parking brake and shift  
the shift lever to P. Failure to do so 
may cause the vehicl e to move or the  vehicle may accelerate 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 motor.
●When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to  
avoid damaging the wheels, under-
side of the vehicle, etc.
●Make sure to idle the engine imme-
diately after high-load driving. Stop  the engine only after the  
turbocharger has cooled down.
Failure to do so may cause damage  to the turbocharger.
■If you get a flat tire while driving 
A flat or damaged tire may cause the  
following situations. Hold the steering 
wheel firmly and gradually 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 abnormally.

●Secure all items in the occupant  
compartment.
●Never allow anyone to ride in the 
luggage compartment. It is not 
designed for passengers. They  should ride in their seats with their  
seat belts properly fastened.
■Load and distribution
●Do not overload your vehicle.
●Do not apply loads unevenly. Improper loading may cause deteri- 
oration of steering or braking con-
trol which may cause death or  serious injury.
■Roof luggage carrier precautions (if equipped) 
To use the roof rails as a roof luggage  
carrier, you must fit the roof rails with  two genuine Toyota cross bars or their  
equivalent.
When you load cargo on the roof lug- gage carrier, observe the following: 
Roof rails 
Cross bars
●Do not place any cargo directly onto  
the roof rails. This may lead to the 
cargo becoming dislodged, result- ing in an accident.
●Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front  
and rear axles.
●If loading long or wide cargo, never 
exceed the vehicle overall length or 
width. (P.566)
●Before driving, make sure the cargo  is securely fastened on the roof lug- 
gage carrier.
●Loading cargo on the roof luggage 
carrier will make the center of grav-
ity of the vehicle higher. Avoid high  speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,  
sudden braking or abrupt maneu-
vers, otherwise it may result in loss  of control or vehicle rollover due to  
failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly and result in death or serious  injury.
●If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds,  
stop the vehicle occasionally during 
the trip to make sure the cargo  remains in its place.
●Do not exceed 75 kg (165 lb.) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
■When installing cross bars (vehi-cles with roof rails) 
Make sure the cross bars are installed  
securely by pushing them forward  and rearward. 
Failure to do so may cause an unex-
pected accident.

operation of the connection  
between the trailer and lights after 
driving for a brief period as well as 
before starting off.
■Practicing driving with a cou-
pled trailer 
 Get the feel for turning, stopping  
and reversing with the trailer 
coupled by practicing in an area 
with no or light traffic. 
 When reversing with a coupled  
trailer, hold the section of the 
steering wheel nearest to you 
and rotate clockw ise to turn the  
trailer left or counterclockwise to 
turn it right. Always rotate a little 
at a time to prevent steering 
error. Have someone guide you 
when reversing to lessen the risk 
of an accident.
■Increasing vehicle-to-vehicle 
distance 
At a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), the  
distance to the vehicle running 
ahead of you should be equivalent 
to or greater than the combined 
length of your vehicle and trailer. 
Avoid sudden braking that may 
cause skidding. Otherwise, the 
vehicle may spin out of control. This 
is especially true when driving on 
wet or slippery road surfaces.
■Sudden acceleration/steering 
input/cornering 
Executing sharp turns when towing  
may result in th e trailer colliding  
with your vehicle. Decelerate well in  
advance when approaching turns  
and take them slowly and carefully 
to avoid sudden braking.
■Important points regarding 
turning 
The wheels of the tr ailer will travel  
closer to the inside of the curve 
than the wheels of the vehicle. To 
make allowance for this, take the 
turns wider than you would nor-
mally do.
■Important points regarding 
stability 
Vehicle movement resulting from  
uneven road surfaces and strong 
crosswinds will affect handling. The 
vehicle may also be rocked by 
passing buses or  large trucks. Fre- 
quently check behind when moving  
alongside such vehicles. As soon  
as such vehicle movement occurs, 
immediately start to decelerate 
smoothly by slowly applying the 
brakes. Always steer the vehicle 
straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles 
Consider the total combined length  
of your vehicle and trailer and 
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle 
distance is sufficient before execut-
ing lane changes.
■Transmission information
Multidrive 
To maintain engine braking effi- 
ciency and charging system perfor-
mance when using engine braking, 
do not use the transmission in D,

■Caution while driving 
If engine failure occurs while the vehi- 
cle is moving, do not lock or open the  doors until the vehicle reaches a safe  
and complete stop. Activation of the 
steering lock in this circumstance may  lead to an accident, resulting in death  
or serious injury.

■Stopping the engine in an emer-gency
●If you want to stop the engine in an  
emergency while driving the vehi- cle, press and hold the engine  
switch for more than 2 seconds, or 
press it briefly 3 times or more in  succession. (P.502) 
However, do not touch the engine 
switch while driving except in an  emergency. Turning 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 vehi- 
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
●If the engine switch is operated 
while the vehicle is running, a warn-
ing message will be shown on the  multi-information display and a  
buzzer sounds.

WA R N I N G
■Toyota Safety Sense 
The Toyota Safety Sense is designed  
to operate under the assumption that 
the driver will drive safely, and is  designed to help reduce the impact to  
the occupants and the vehicle in the 
case of a collision or assist the driver  in normal driving conditions. 
As there is a limit to the degree of rec-
ognition accuracy and control perfor- mance that this system can provide,  
do not overly rely on this system. The 
driver is always responsible for paying  attention to the vehicle’s surroundings  
and driving safely.

■Limitations of the pre-collision  
system
●The driver is solely responsible for  safe driving. Always drive safely,  
taking care to observe your 
surroundings. Do not use the pre-collision system  
instead of normal braking opera-
tions under any circumstances. 
This system will not prevent colli- sions or lessen collision damage or  
injury in every situation. Do not 
overly rely on this system. Failure to  do so may lead to an accident,  
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Although this system is designed to 
help avoid a collision or help reduce 
the impact of the collision, its effec- tiveness may change according to  
various conditions, therefore the 
system may not always be able to  achieve the same level of perfor- 
mance.
Read the following conditions care- fully. Do not overly rely on this sys- 
tem and always drive carefully. 
• Conditions under which the system  may operate even if there is no pos- 
sibility of a collision: P.228 
• Conditions under which the system  
may not operate properly: P. 2 2 9
●Do not attempt to test the operation 
of the pre-collision system yourself.
Depending on the objects used for  testing (dummies, cardboard  
objects imitating detectable objects, 
etc.), the system may not operate  properly, possibly leading to an  
accident.
■Pre-collision braking
●When the pre-collision braking 
function is operating, a large  amount of braking force will be  
applied.
●If the vehicle is stopped by the  operation of the pre-collision brak- 
ing function, the pre-collision brak-
ing function operation will be  canceled after approximately 2 sec- 
onds. Depress the brake pedal as 
necessary.
●The pre-collision braking function 
may not operate if certain opera- tions are performed by the driver. If  
the accelerator pedal is being 
depressed strongly or the steering  wheel is being turned, the system  
may determine that the driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly pre- vent the pre-collision braking  
function from operating.
●In some situations, while the 
pre-collision braking function is 
operating, operation of the function  may be canceled if the accelerator  
pedal is depressed strongly or the 
steering wheel is turned and the  system determines that the driver is  
taking evasive action.
●If the brake pedal is being 
depressed, the system may deter-
mine that the driver is taking eva- sive action and possibly delay the  
operation timing of the pre-collision 
braking function.
■When to disable the pre-colli-
sion system 
In the following situations, disable the  
system, as it may not operate prop-
erly, possibly leading to an accident  resulting in death or serious injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed
●When your vehicle is towing  
another vehicle
●When transporting the vehicle via 
truck, boat, train or similar means of 
transportation
●When the vehicle is raised on a lift 
with the engine running and the  tires are allowed to rotate freely

2284-5. Using the driving support systems
■Cancelation of the pre-collision  
braking 
If either of the following occur while the  
pre-collision braking function is operat-
ing, it will be canceled:
●The accelerator pedal is depressed 
strongly.
●The steering wheel is turned sharply 
or abruptly.
■Conditions under which the system  may operate even if there is no pos- 
sibility of a collision
●In some situations such as the follow-
ing, the system may determine that 
there is a possibility of a frontal colli- sion and operate. 
• When passing a detectable object, 
etc. • When changing lanes while overtak- 
ing a detectable object, etc.
• When approaching a detectable  object in an adjacent lane or on the  
roadside, such as when changing the 
course of travel or driving on a wind- ing road 
• When rapidly closing on a detectable  
object, etc. • When approaching objects on the  
roadside, such as detectable objects, 
guardrails, utility poles, trees, or walls • When there is a detectable object or  
other object by the roadside at the  
entrance of a curve 
• When there are patterns or paint in  
front of your vehicle that may be mis-
taken for a detectable object • When the front of your vehicle is hit by  
water, snow, dust, etc.
• When overtaking a detectable object  that is changing lanes or making a  
right/left turn 
• When passing a detectable object in  
an oncoming lane that is stopped to 
make a right/left turn 
• When a detectable object approaches  
very close and then stops before  entering the path of your vehicle 
• If the front of your vehicle is raised or 
lowered, such as when on an uneven  or undulating road surface 
• When driving on a road surrounded by 
a structure, such as in a tunnel or on 
an iron bridge • When there is a metal object (man- 
hole cover, steel plate, etc.), steps, or 
a protrusion in front of your vehicle

LTA (Lane Tracing  
Assist)*
When driving on highways and  
freeways with white (yellow) 
lane lines, this function alerts 
the driver when the vehicle 
might depart from its lane or  
course* and provides assis- 
tance by operating the steering 
wheel to keep the vehicle in its  
lane or course*. Furthermore,  
the system provides steering 
assistance when dynamic 
radar cruise control with 
full-speed range is operating to 
keep the vehicle in its lane.
The LTA system recognizes 
white (yellow) la ne lines or a

era. Additionally, it detects 
preceding vehicles using the 
front camera and radar.
