4-5. Using the driving support systems
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and 
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or 
accelerating on slippery roads
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward 
movement of the vehicle when 
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to 
reduce the amount of effort needed 
to turn the steering wheel.
■Active Torque Split AWD sys-
tem
Automatically switches from front-
wheel drive to all-wheel drive 
(AWD) according to the driving con-
ditions, helping to ensure reliable 
handling and stability. Examples of 
conditions where the system will 
switch to AWD are when cornering, 
going uphill, starting off or acceler-
ating, and when the road surface is 
slippery due to snow, rain, etc.
■Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers auto-
matically flash to alert the vehicle 
behind.
■The secondary Collision Brake 
(if equipped)
When the SRS airbag sensor 
detects a collision and the system 
operates, the brakes and brake 
lights are automatically controlled to reduce the vehicle speed and 
help reduce the possibility of further 
damage due to a secondary colli-
sion.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are 
operating
The slip indicator light will flash while the 
TRC/VSC systems are operating.
■Disabling the TRC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or 
snow, the TRC system may reduce 
power from the engine to the wheels. 
Pressing   to turn the system off may 
make it easier for you to rock the vehicle 
in order to free it.
To turn the TRC system off, quickly 
press and release  .
The “TRC OFF” indicator light will come 
on.
Press   again to turn the system 
back on.
■Turning off both TRC and VSC sys-
tems
To turn the TRC and VSC systems off,

ing operation.
■Automatic system cancelation of 
emergency brake signal
The emergency brake signal will be can-
celed in any of the following situations:
●The emergency flashers are turned 
on.
●The system judges from the vehicle 
deceleration that is not a sudden brak-
ing operation.
■Secondary Collision Brake operat-
ing conditions (if equipped)
The system operates when the SRS air-
bag sensor detects a collision while the 
vehicle is in motion.
However, the system does not operate in any of the following situations.
●The vehicle speed is below 10 km/h (6 
mph)
●Components are damaged
■Secondary Collision Brake auto-
matic cancelation (if equipped)
The system is automatically canceled in 
any of the following situations.
●The vehicle speed drops below 
approximately 10 km/h (6 mph)
●A certain amount of time elapses 
during operation
●The accelerator pedal is depressed a 
large amount
■If a message about AWD is shown on the multi-information display
Perform the following actions.

6-1. Maintenance and care
Maintenance and care
late on the windows for a long period.  
Clean the windows with a soft, damp  cloth as soon as possible.• Do not use wax or glass cleaners that  
contain abrasives when cleaning the  windows.• Do not use any metallic objects to  
remove condensation build up.
●When the water-repellent perfor-
mance has become insufficient, the  coating can be repaired. Consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota  
authorized repairer, or any reliable  repairer.
■Plated portions 
If dirt cannot be removed, clean the  
parts as follows:
●Use a soft cloth dampened with an 
approximately 5% solution of neutral  detergent and water to clean the dirt off.
●Wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth to remove any remaining moisture.
●To remove oily deposits, use alcohol wet wipes or a similar product.
■Carbon film (if equipped)
●Do not attach a roof carrier on the car-bon-film. It may damage the film sur- 
face.
●Only use low temperature water; 50°C 
(122°F) or less, for an automatic car  wash and high pressure washer. 
Do not use the high pressure washer to  
the film edge to avoid coming off.
●Do not take heated water more than  90°C (194°F) directly. It may cause the film to come off easily.
●Only use a neutral detergent which is approved for car wash use and water.
●Do not wax or apply a coating to the film to keep film textured appearance.
●Dirt like bird droppings and oil should be cleaned off with a neutral detergent  
immediately.
■Brake
●Painted brake calipers 
• When using detergent, use neutral  
detergent. Do not use hard brushes or  abrasive cleaners, as they will dam-age the paint. 
• Do not use detergent on the brake cal- ipers when they are hot.• Wash detergent off immediately after  
use.
●Rust may form if the vehicle is parked 
with wet brake pads or disc rotors,  causing them to stick. Before parking the vehicle after it is washed, drive  
slowly and apply the brakes several  times to dry the parts.
WARNING
■When washing the vehicle 
Do not apply water to the inside of the  engine compartment. Doing so may cause the electrical components, etc.  
to catch fire.
■When cleaning the windshield 
Set the wiper switch to off. If the wiper  switch is in “AUTO”, the wipers may operate unexpectedly in the following  
situations, and may result in hands  being caught or other serious injuries and cause damage to the wiper  
blades. 
Off 
AUTO
●When the upper part of the wind- shield where the raindrop sensor is  
located is touched by hand
●When a wet rag or similar is held 
close to the raindrop sensor

6-1. Maintenance and care
WARNING
●If something bumps against the  windshield
●If you directly touch the raindrop sensor body or if something bumps  
into the raindrop sensor
■Precautions regarding the 
exhaust pipe 
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust  pipe to become quite hot. 
When washing the vehicle, be careful  not to touch the pipe until it has cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot  
exhaust pipe can cause burns.
■Precaution regarding the rear 
bumper with Blind Spot Monitor  (if equipped) 
If the paint of the rear bumper is  
chipped or scratched, the system may  malfunction. If this occurs, consult with any authorized Toyota retailer or  
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer.
NOTICE
■To prevent paint deterioration and corrosion on the body and components (aluminum wheels,  
etc.)
●Wash the vehicle immediately in the  following cases: 
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads 
• If coal tar or tree sap is present on  
the paint surface 
• If dead insects, insect droppings or  
bird droppings are present on the  paint surface 
• After driving in an area contami- nated with soot, oily smoke, mine dust, iron powder or chemical sub- 
stances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily  soiled with dust or mud 
• If liquids such as benzene and gas- oline are spilled on the paint sur-face
●If the paint is chipped or scratched, have it repaired immediately.
●To prevent the wheels from corrod-ing, remove any dirt and store in a  
place with low humidity when stor- ing the wheels.
■Cleaning the exterior lights
●Wash carefully. Do not use organic substances or scrub with a hard  
brush. This may damage the surfaces of the lights.
●Do not apply wax to the surfaces of the lights. 
Wax may cause damage to the  lenses.
■To prevent damage to the wind-shield wiper arms 
When lifting the wiper arms away  
from the windshield, pull the driver  side wiper arm upward first, and repeat for the passenger side. When  
returning the wipers to their original  position, do so from the passenger side first.
■When using an automatic car wash 
Set the wiper switch to the off posi- tion. If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wipers may operate and the wiper  
blades may be damaged.
