●Do not leave a door or window
open if the curved glass is coated
with a metallized film such as a sil- ver-colored one. Reflected sunlight
may cause the glass to act as a
lens, causing a fire.
●Always apply the parking brake,
shift the shift lever to P (vehicles
with an automatic transmission), stop the engine and lock the vehi-
cle.
Do not leave the vehicle unat- tended while the engine is running.
If the vehicle is parked with the shift
lever in P but the parking brake is not set, the vehicl e may start to
move, possibly leading to an acci-
dent.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes
while the engine is running or immediately after turning the engine
off.
Doing so may cause burns.
■When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever
or depress the accelerator pedal, this
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, leading to death or
a serious health hazard.
■When braking
●When the brakes are wet, drive
more cautiously. Braking distance increases when
the brakes are wet, and this may
cause one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other
side. Also, the parking brake may
not securely hold the vehicle.
●If the brake booster device does not operate, do not follow other vehi-
cles closely and avoid hills or sharp
turns that require braking. In this case, braking is still possible,
but the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will
increase. Have your brakes fixed
immediately.
●Do not pump the brake pedal if the
engine stalls. Each push on the brake pedal uses
up the reserve for the
power-assisted brakes.
●The brake system consists of 2 indi-
vidual 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 excessively when any of the tires is up in the air,
or the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud,
etc. This may damage the driveline components or propel the vehicle for-
ward or backward, causing an acci-
dent.
NOTICE
■Pre-driving check
Trapping small animals in the cooling
fan and belts of the engine may result
in a malfunction. Check that no small animal enters the engine compart-
ment and under the vehicle before
starting the engine.

■Symptoms indicating a malfunc-
tion with the engine switch
If the engine switch seems to be oper- ating somewhat differently than usual,
such as the switch sticking slightly,
there may be a malfunction. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer immediately.
Stopping the engine
WA R N I N G
■Stopping the engine in an emer-
gency
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.326)
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 difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull
over and stop the vehicle 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.
●Vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission: To restart the engine after performing an emergency shut-
down, shift the shift lever to N and
then press the engine switch.
●Vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion: To restart the engine after per- forming an emergency shutdown,

●Do not wipe the camera with alcohol,
benzine or paint thinner.
Otherwise, discolora tion may occur. To remove contamination, wipe the
camera with a cloth moistened with a
diluted neutral detergent. Then wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
●When waxing the vehicle, be careful not to apply the wax to the camera. If
it comes in contact with the camera,
moisten a clean cloth with a diluted neutral detergent to remove the wax.
●The camera lens has a hard coating to help prevent scratches. However,
when washing the vehicle or cleaning
the camera lens, be careful not to
scratch the camera lens. Do not use a washing brush directly on the camera
lens. The image quality of the rear
view camera may deteriorate.
●Strong light shined on the camera lens
may develop vertical lines around the light source. This is not a malfunction.
●Under the fluorescent light, the display
may flicker. However, this is not a mal-
function.
●The image of the rear view camera
may be slightly different from the actual color of the objects.
●If there is a malfunction on the multi-media system screen, refer to “Multi-
media owner’s manual”.
Rear view camera
A rear view camera is attached
to the trunk lid. When the
engine switch is in ON and the
shift lever is set to R, the rear
view camera automatically dis-
plays the rear view image
behind the vehicle on the mul-
timedia system screen.
WA R N I N G
●Since the rear view camera uses a
wide-angle lens, the image on the monitor is different from the actual
view in terms of distance.
●Since the range of the image on the
monitor is limited, always check the
rear view and the surrounding area with your eyes and mirrors, and
move backward at a slow speed.
Moving backward only by checking the rear view image from the cam-
era could cause an accident.
●Do not disassemble or modify the
camera, switch or wiring. If smoke
comes out or you smell a strange odor, stop using the rear view cam-
era immediately.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer for
an inspection. Continued use may result in accident, fire or electric
shock.
NOTICE
●When washing your vehicle with a high-pressure washer, do not allow
water to touch the camera directly.
Entry of water in the camera lens may result in condensation, mal-
function, fire or electric shock.
●Since the camera is a precision
device, do not subject it to strong
impacts. Otherwise, malfunction, fire or electric shock may occur.
