Driving
WA R N I N G
●Do not shift the shift lever to a driv-
ing position while the vehicle is
moving backward. Doing so can damage the transmis-
sion and may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●Moving the shift lever to N while the
vehicle is moving will disengage the
engine from the transmission. Engine braking is not available
when N is selected.
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: Be care-
ful not to shift the shift lever with the
accelerator pedal depressed. Shift- ing the shift lever to any positions
other than P or N may lead to unex-
pected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident
and result in death or serious injury.
■If you hear a squealing or scrap-
ing noise (brake pad wear indica-
tors)
Have the front and rear brake pads
checked at the same time and
replaced by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer as soon as
possible.
Rotor damage may result if the pads
are not replaced when needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle
when the wear limits of the brake pads and/or those of the brake discs
are exceeded.
■When the vehicle is stopped
●Do not race the engine.
If the vehicle is in any gear other than P (Multidrive) or N, the vehicle
may accelerate suddenly and unex-
pectedly, causing an accident.
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: In order to prevent accidents due to the
vehicle rolling away, always keep
depressing the brake pedal while the engine is running, and apply the
parking brake as necessary.
●If the vehicle is stopped on an
incline, in order to prevent acci-
dents caused by the vehicle rolling forward or backward, always
depress the brake pedal and
securely apply the parking brake as needed.
●Avoid revving or racing the engine.Running the engine at high speed
while the vehicle is stopped may
cause the exhaust system to over- heat, which could result in a fire if
combustible material is nearby.
■When the vehicle is parked
●Do not leave glasses, cigarette
lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in the vehicle when it is in the
sun.
Doing so may result in the follow- ing:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette
lighter or spray can, and may lead to a fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and
plastic material of glasses to
deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, caus-
ing the contents to spray over the interior of the vehicle, and may also
cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s
electrical components.
●Do not leave cigarette lighters in the
vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a
place such as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally
when luggage is loaded or the seat
is adjusted, causing a fire.

4607-1. Maintenance and care
7-1.Maintenance and care
Working from top to bottom, lib-
erally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside
of the vehicle to remove any dirt
and dust.
 Wash the vehicle body using a
sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
 For hard-to-remove marks, use
car wash soap and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
 Wipe away any water.
 Wax the vehicle when the water-
proof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean sur-
face, apply wax when the vehicle body
is cool.
■Automatic car washes
●Before washing the vehicle:
• Fold the mirrors.
• Turn off the power back door system. (if equipped)
Start washing from the front of the vehi-
cle. Extend the mirrors before driving.
●Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle sur-
face, parts (wheel, etc.) and harm
your vehicle’s paint.
●In certain automati c car washes, the
rear spoiler may interfere with
machine operation. This may prevent
the vehicle from being cleaned prop- erly or result in damage to the rear
spoiler.
■High pressure car washes
As water may enter the cabin, do not bring the nozzle tip near the gaps
around the doors or perimeter of the
windows, or spray these areas continu- ously.
■When using a car wash (vehicles
with a smart entry & start system)
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective
range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In that case, follow the fol- lowing correction procedures to wash
the vehicle:
●Place the key in a position 2 m (6 ft.)
or more separate from the vehicle
while the vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is
not stolen.)
●Set the electronic key to battery-sav-
ing mode to disable the smart entry &
start system. ( P.137)
■Wheels and wheel ornaments
●Remove any dirt immediately by using
a neutral detergent.
●Wash detergent off with water immedi-
ately after use.
●To protect the paint from damage,
make sure to observe the following precautions.
• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive
detergent • Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use detergent on the wheels
when they are hot, such as after driv-
ing or parking in hot weather
■Brake pads and calipers
Rust may form if the vehicle is parked
with wet brake pads or disc rotors, caus-
ing them to stick. Before parking the vehicle after it is washed, drive slowly
and apply the brakes several times to
dry the parts.
Cleaning and protecting
the vehicle exterior
Perform cleaning in a manner
appropriate to each compo-
nent and its material.
