4285-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
■When the TRAC/ABS/VSC is
activated
The slip indicator light flashes.
Always drive care fully. Reckless
driving may cause an accident.
Exercise particular care when the
indicator light flashes.
■When the TRAC/VSC systems
are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at
a speed appropriate to the road
conditions. As these are the sys-
tems to help ensure vehicle stabil-
ity and driving force, do not turn
the TRAC/VSC systems off
unless necessary.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the
specified size, brand, tread pat-
tern and total load capacity. In
addition, make sure that the tires
are inflated to the recommended
tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC sys-
tems will not function correctly if
different tires are installed on the
vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for
further information when replacing
tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the sus-
pension
Using tires with any kind of prob-
lem or modifying the suspension
will affect the driv ing assist sys-
tems, and may cause a system to
malfunction.
■Secondary Collision Brake
Do not rely solely upon the Sec-
ondary Collision Brake. This sys-
tem is designed to help reduce
the possibility of further damage
due to a secondary collision, how-
ever, that effect changes accord-
ing to various conditions. Overly
relying on the system may result
in death or serious injury.

When trouble arises
■While towing
If the hybrid system is off, the power
assist for the brakes and steering
will not function, making steering
and braking more difficult.
■Wheel nut wrench
Wheel nut wrench can be pur-
chased at your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may result
in death or serious injury.
■While towing
●When towing using cables or
chains, avoid sudden starts, etc.
which place excessive stress on
the towing eyelets, cables or
chains. The towing eyelets,
cables or chains may become
damaged, broken debris may hit
people, and cause serious dam-
age.
●Do not perform any of the fol-
lowing as doing so may cause
the parking lock mechanism to
engage, locking the front
wheels and possibly leading to
an accident resulting in death or
serious injury:
• Unfasten the driver’s seat belt and open the driver’s door.
• Turn the power switch off.
■Installing towing eyelets to
the vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are
installed securely. If not securely
installed, towing eyelets may
come loose during towing.
