Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON
mode.
When the mirrors are fogged up (vehicles with outside rear view mirror
defoggers)
The outside rear view mirrors can be cleared using the mirror heaters. Turn
on the rear window defogger to turn on the outside rear view mirror heaters.
(P. 356)
Auto anti-glare function (if equipped)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to auto mode, the outside
rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare inside rear
view mirror to reduce reflected light. (P. 104)
Linked mirror function when reversing
When the mirror select switch is in the “L” or “R” position, the outside rear
view mirrors will automatically angle downwards when the vehicle is revers-
ing in order to give a better view of the ground. To disable this function, move
the mirror select switch to the neutral position (between “L” and “R”).
Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle (if equipped)
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automat-
ically by the driving position memory. (P. 86)

CAUTION
When driving the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while driving.
Failing to do so may result in loss of control of the vehicle and cause an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious injury.
Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
Do not drive with the mirrors folded back.
Both the driver and passenger side mirrors must be extended and properly
adjusted before driving.
When a mirror is moving
To avoid personal injury and mirror malfunction, be careful not to get your
hand caught by the moving mirror.
When the mirror defoggers are operating (vehicles with outside rear
view mirror defoggers)
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot and
burn you.
NOTICE
If ice should jam the mirror
Do not operate the control or scrape the mirror face. Use a spray de-icer to
free the mirror.

184 2-1. Driving procedures
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
CAUTION
When stopped on an inclined surface, use the brake pedal and parking
brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward or forward and causing
an accident.
Do not adjust the position 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 that can cause accidents
that may result in death or serious injury.
Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their bod-
ies are not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury.
Vehicles with the 4-Wheel AHC & AVS: When crossing rivers, turn off
height control after putting the vehicle height in high mode, and drive at
30 km/h (18 mph) or less. Otherwise the vehicle height may change due to
the automatic leveling function, resulting in an accident. (P. 248)
When driving on slippery road surfaces
Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and
reduce your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident.
Sudden acceleration, engine braking due to shift changing, or changes in
engine speed could cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident
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, resulting in
an accident.
When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear indicators)
Have your Toyota dealer check and replace the brake pads as soon as pos-
sible.
Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads
and/or those of the rotors are exceeded.

CAUTION
When using the Multi-terrain Monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injuries:
Never depend solely on the monitor system.
Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is
clear.
Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual
distances.
Do not use the system if the hood or doors are open.
Conditions which may affect the Multi-terrain Monitor system
If the front or the rear of the vehicle or the outside rear view mirror has
been hit, the camera’s position and mounting angle may have changed.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble
or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the
vehicle in cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with
water and wipe with a soft cloth. If the camera lens is extremely dirty, wash
with a mild cleanser and rinse.
Do not strongly rub the camera lens. If the camera lens is scratched, it
cannot transmit a clear image.
Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to
adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
The displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly
distorted when the system is cold.
Situations unsuitable for Multi-terrain Monitor
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains

When driving
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)
Safety checks before towing
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 total load
exerted on the vehicle is within the range of the weight limits. (P. 324)
Ensure that the trailer load is secure.
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.
CAUTION
To avoid accident or injury
Set the vehicle height to the “LO” mode and turn off the 4-Wheel AHC when
you connect a trailer, otherwise the vehicle height may change due to the
automatic leveling function, and you may catch part of your body in the vehi-
cle, resulting in an accident. (P. 248)
NOTICE
When the rear bumper strengthening material is aluminum
Ensure the steel bracket part does not come directly in contact with that
area.
When steel and aluminum come into contact, there is a reaction similar to
corrosion, which will weaken the section concerned which may result in
damage. Apply a rust inhibitor to parts that will come in contact when attach-
ing a steel bracket.
