2724-1. Before driving
HILUX_OM_OM0K321E_(EE)
■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. Frequently check behind when mov-
ing 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 exe-
cuting lane changes.
■Transmission information
Vehicles with manual transmission: To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency when using engine braking, do not use 5th gear and 6th
gear.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: To maintain engine braking
efficiency when using engine braking, do not use the transmission
in D. Transmission shift range position must be in 4 or lower, in S
mode.
■If the engine overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long, steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30 C (85F) may result in the engine overheating. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge indicates that the engine is over-
heating, turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the road and
stop the vehicle in a safe place. ( P. 678)
■When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under the wheels of both the vehicle
and trailer. Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P
for automatic transmissions, and 1 or R for manual transmissions.

HILUX_OM_OM0K321E_(EE)
■S mode
When the shift range is 4 or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets the
shift range to 6.
■ Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving per formance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
■ Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode (vehicles
with automatic air conditioning system)
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the
air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency ( P. 531). To improve air
conditioning performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode.
■ Deactivation of the driving mode
● Eco drive mode will not be canceled until the “ECO MODE” switch is
pressed, even if the engine is turned off after driving in Eco drive mode.
● Power mode will be canceled if the engine is turned off after driving in power
mode.
■ When driving with cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control acti-
vated (if equipped)
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control or dynamic
radar cruise control will not be canceled.
● While driving in S mode, downshifting to 5 or 4. (P. 296)
● When switching the driving mode to power mode while driving in D.
( P. 295)
■ Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to prevent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting.
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in the
“ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON
mode (vehicles with smart entry & start system) and the brake pedal is being
depressed.

■ Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode (vehicles
with automatic air conditioning system)
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the
air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency ( P. 531). To improve air
conditioning performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode.
■ Deactivation of the driving mode
● Eco drive mode will not be canceled until the “ECO MODE” button is
pressed, even if the engine is turned off after driving in Eco drive mode.
● Power mode will be canceled if the engine is turned off after driving in power
mode.
■ Reverse warning buzzer (6-speed transmission)
A buzzer will sound to alert the driver if the shift lever is shifted to the R posi-
tion.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the vehicle
● Shift the shift lever to R only when the vehicle is stationary.
● Do not rest your hand on or hold the shift lever any time other than when
shifting.
● In order not to cause the engine to overrev, make sure to only shift gears
sequentially.
● Do not release the clutch pedal suddenly, as doing so may cause damage
to the clutch or transmission.

■ If a warning message is displayed on the multi-information display
A system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a malfunction in
the system.
● In the following situations, perform the actions specified in the table. When
the normal operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear
and the system will become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
SituationActions
When the area around a sensor
is covered with dirt, moisture
(fogged up, covered with con-
densation, ice, etc.), or other
foreign matter
To clean the part of the windshield in front
of the front camera, use the windshield
wipers or the windshield defogger of the
air conditioning system ( P. 519, 528).
When the temperature around
the front camera is outside of
the operational range, such as
when the vehicle is in the sun or
in an extremely cold environ-
ment
If the front camera is hot, such as after
the vehicle had been parked in the sun,
use the air conditioning system to
decrease the temperature around the
front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the vehi-
cle was parked, depending on its type,
the sunlight reflected from the surface
of the sunshade may cause the tem-
perature of the front camera to become
excessively high.
If the front camera is cold, such after the
vehicle is parked in an extremely cold
environment, use the air conditioning
system to increase the temperature
around the front camera.
The area in front of the front
camera is obstructed, such as
when the hood is open or a
sticker is attached to the part of
the windshield in front of the
front camera.
Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc.
to clear the obstruction.
