When driving
CAUTION
■
When the vehicle is parked
●Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P (automatic trans-
mission only), stop the engine and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
● Do not touch the exhaust pipe while the engine is running or immediately
after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
● Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it
is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is
running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead
to death or a serious health hazard.
■ Exhaust gases
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO) that is colorless and
odorless. Inhaling exhaust gases may lead to death or a serious health haz-
ard.
●If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area, stop the engine. In a closed
area, such as a garage, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.
This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
● The exhaust should be checked occasionally. If there is a hole or crack
caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be
sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your Toyota dealer.
Failure to do so may allow exhaust gases to enter the vehicle, resulting in
death or a serious health hazard.
■ When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, you may accidentally move the shift
lever or depress the accelerator pedal, which could cause an accident or fire
due to engine overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly
ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leadin\
g to
death or a serious health hazard.

138 2-1. Driving procedures
NOTICE
■Before driving
Fully release the parking brake.
Driving the vehicle with the parking brake set will lead to brake components
overheating, which may affect braking performance and increase brake
wear.

142 2-2. Instrument cluster
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
● The engine may be overheating if the temperature gauge is in the red
zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and
check the engine after it has cooled completely. (

2-5. Driving information

When driving
●
Avoid jerky starts or sudden acceleration.
● Avoid jerky steering and sharp turns, and slow down before mak-
ing a turn.
● Note that when making a turn, th e trailer wheels will be closer than
the vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. Compensate by making
a wider than normal turning radius.
● Slow down before making a turn, in crosswinds, on wet or slippery
surfaces, etc.
Increasing vehicle speed can destabilize the trailer.
● Take care when passing other vehicles. Passing requires consider-
able distance. After passing a vehicle, do not forget the length of
your trailer, and be sure you hav e plenty of room before changing
lanes.
● To maintain engine braking efficiency and charging system perfor-
mance when using engine braking, do not use sixth gear (manual
transmission), or do not put the transmission in D (automatic trans-
mission).
● Instability happens more frequently when descending steep or long
downhill grades. Before descending, slow down and downshift. Do
not make sudden downshifts while descending steep or long down-
hill grades.
● Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or applying the
brakes too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat and
result in reduced braking efficiency.
● Due to the added load of the trailer, your vehicle’s engine may
overheat on hot days (at temperatures over 85°F [30°C]) when
driving up a long or steep grade. If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates overheating, immedi ately turn off the air condition-
ing (if in use), pull your vehicle off the road and stop in a safe spot.
(  P. 504)

CAUTION
■To prevent injuries and accidents, securely fix all electric appliances
before use and do not use any appl iances that may do any of the fol-
lowing:
● Distract the driver while driving, or hamper safe driving.
● Result in a fire or burn injuries due to the appliance rolling, falling or over-
heating while driving.
● Emit steam, while the windows of the cabin are closed.
■ To prevent unexpected accidents, su ch as electric shocks, do not per-
form any of the following.
● Using the power outlet for electric heaters while sleeping.
● Contaminating the power outlet with liquid substances or mud.
● Handling electrical appliance plugs at the power outlet with wet hands o\
r
feet.
● Inserting foreign objects into the power outlet.
● Using malfunctioning electric appliances.
● Inserting inappropriate or badly fitting plugs into the power outlet.
NOTICE
■To avoid damaging the power outlet and the plug
●Close the power outlet lid when not in use.
● Foreign objects or liquids that enter the power outlet may cause a short
circuit.
● Do not use plug adaptors to connect too many plugs to the power outlet.
● After inserting a plug, gently close the power outlet lid.
■ To prevent the fuse from being blown
Do not use a 120V AC appliance that requires more than maximum capacity.
If a 120V AC appliance that consumes more than maximum capacity is
used, the protection circuit will cut the power supply.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If your vehicle overheats
Correction proceduresStop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air condition-
ing system, and then stop the engine.

If a large amount of coolant leaks,
immediately contact your Toyota

The coolant level is satisfactory if
it is between the F (Full) and L
(Low) lines on the reservoir.Engine coolant reservoir
