WARNING
Q If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as ABS and the SRS warning light not
come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are

WARNING
QThe information display at low temperatures (vehicles with multi-infor-
mation display)
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the display monitor may
respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For vehicles with automatic transmission: For example, there is a lag
between the driver’s shifting and the new gear number appearing on the
display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again, causing rapid
and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or
injury.
NOTICE
Q To prevent damage to the engine and its components
O Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
O The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant 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. ( P. 610)

Operation of each component
HILUX_OM_OM0K513E_(EE)
Q If you lose your keys
New genuine keys can be made by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer using a master key (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or the other key of the same type (vehicles
with smart entry & start system), and the key number stamped on your key
number plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the
vehicle.
Q When riding in an aircraft (type B and C)
When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircraft,
make sure you do not press any buttons on the key while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying the key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons are
not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the key to
emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
Q Key battery depletion
Vehicles without smart entry & start system
If the wireless remote control function does not operate, the battery may be
depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( P. 516)
Vehicles with smart entry & start system
 P. 168
Q If a message regarding the state of the electronic key or engine switch
mode, etc. is shown
To prevent trapping the electronic key in side the vehicle, leaving the vehicle
without turning off the engine switch or other passengers from unintentionally
taking the key out of the vehicle, etc., a message that prompts the user to
confirm the state of the electronic key or engine switch mode may be shown
on the multi-information display. In those cases, follow the instructions on the
display immediately.
Q If “Key battery low” is shown on the multi-information display
The electronic key has a low battery. Replace the electronic key battery.
Q Replacing the electronic key battery
 P. 516
Q Confirmation of the registered key number
The number of keys already registered to the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer for details.

Driving

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
Q When starting the vehicle
On vehicles with automatic transmission, always keep your foot on the
brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehi-
cle from creeping.
Q When driving the vehicle
O Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel-
erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake
pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi-
culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the
vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accelera-
tor pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake
pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-
ing in an accident.
O Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. These hot
parts may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
O During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. 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.
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 555

1984-1. Before driving
HILUX_OM_OM0K513E_(EE)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
Q When driving the vehicle
O Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. ( P. 2 3 2 )
O Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control.
O Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body
are not outside the vehicle.
O On vehicles with manual transmission, observe the following to prevent
the clutch from being damaged.
• Do not operate the clutch halfway for a long period of time unless it is
necessary.
• Do not operate the clutch half or partial engaged to control the vehicle
speed, such as to drive the vehicle at a low speed, to hold the vehicle
on a slope, etc.
• Do not depress the brake pedal during operating the clutch half or par-
tial engaged.
Doing so could not only speed up the clutch wear, but also damage the
clutch or even cause a fatal accident such as vehicle fire.
Q When driving on slippery road surfaces
O Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and
reduce your ability to control the vehicle.
O Sudden acceleration, engine braking due to shifting, or changes in engine
speed could cause the vehicle to skid.
O After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make
sure that the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent
the brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet
and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected.

2144-1. Before driving
HILUX_OM_OM0K513E_(EE)
QTire information
O Increase the tire inflation pressure to 20.0 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi)
greater than the recommended value when towing. ( P. 639)
O Increase the air pressure of the trailer tires in accordance with the total
trailer weight and according to the values recommended by the manufac-
turer of your trailer.
Q Tr a i l e r l i g h ts
Check that the turn signal lights and stoplights are operating correctly every
time you hitch up the trailer. Direct ly wiring up to your vehicle may damage
the electrical system and stop the lights from functioning correctly.
Q Break-in schedule
Toyota recommends that vehicles fitted with new power train components
should not be used for towing trailers for the first 800 km (500 miles).
Q Safety checks before towing
O Check that the maximum load limit for the towing hitch/bracket and hitch ball
is not exceeded. Bear in mind that the coupling weight of the trailer will add
to the load exerted on the vehicle. Also make sure that the total load exerted
on the vehicle is within the range of the weight limits. ( P. 212)
O Ensure that the trailer load is secure.
O Supplementary outside rear view mirrors should be added to the vehicle if
the traffic behind cannot be clearly seen with standard mirrors. Adjust the
extending arms of these mirrors on both sides of the vehicle so that they
always provide maximum visibility of the road behind.
Q Maintenance
O Maintenance must be performed more frequently when using the vehicle for
towing due to the greater weight burden placed on the vehicle compared to
normal driving.
O Retighten all bolts securing the hitching ball and bracket after towing for
approximately 1000 km (600 miles).
