RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
⚫On vehicles with continuously variable transmission, do not shift the shift
lever to P while the vehicle is moving.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
⚫Do not shift the shift lever to R wh ile the vehicle is moving forward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
⚫Do not shift the shift lever to a driv ing position while the vehicle is moving
backward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
⚫Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the
engine from the transmission. Engine braking is not available when N is
selected.
⚫Be careful not to set the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
Setting the shift lever to a gear othe r than P (continuously variable transmis-
sion vehicles) or N is dangerous, as it could lead to unexpected rapid acceler-
ation of the vehicle that may cause an unforeseen accident.
⬛If you hear a continuous squealing noise from around the brakes
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
Damage to the disc rotor may result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
Parts such as pads and rotors wear out as they are used. Riding beyond the
limits of wear will not only cause malfunctions, but may also lead to an acci-
dent.
⬛When stopping the vehicle
⚫Do not depress the accelerator pedal unnecessarily.
Setting the shift lever to a gear othe r than P (continuously variable transmis-
sion vehicles) or N is dangerous, as it could lead to unexpected rapid acceler-
ation of the vehicle that may cause an unforeseen accident.
⚫In order to prevent accidents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep
depressing the brake pedal while the en gine is running, and apply the park-
ing brake as necessary.
⚫If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused
by the vehicle rolling forward or back ward, always depress the brake pedal
and securely apply the parking brake as needed.

RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
Driving

⚫Avoid revving or racing the engine.
Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause
the exhaust system to overheat, which could result in a fire if combustible
material is nearby.
⬛When parking the vehicle
⚫Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, aerosol cans, or carbonated bever-
age cans in the vehicle under the scorching sun.
Doing so may result in the following:
⦁ Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or aerosol can, and may lead to a fire
⦁ The glasses with plastic lenses and plastic material may deform or crack
⦁ Carbonated beverage cans may fracture, causing the contents to spill over
the interior of the vehicle, and may al so cause a short circuit in the vehi-
cle’s electrical components
⚫Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehi cle. If a cigarette lighter is in a stor-
age compartment or on the floor, it ma y be lit accidentally when luggage is
loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
⚫Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place
containers such as fragrance on the instrument panel or dashboard.
Adhesive discs or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehicle.
⚫Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a
metallized film such as a silver-colored one.
Reflected sunlight may cause the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.
⚫For continuously variable transmission vehicles, always apply the parking
brake, set the shift lever to P, stop the engine, and lock the vehicle when
leaving the vehicle unattended.
Do not leave the vehicle unattende d while the engine is running.
If the vehicle is parked wi th the shift lever in P but the parking brake is not
set, the vehicle may start to move, possibly leading to an accident.
⚫Do not touch the exhaust pipes while th e 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. Addition-
ally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may enter
the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.

Doing so may cause an unforeseen accident re sulting in death or serious injury.
⬛Caution while driving

If you want to stop the engine in an em ergency while driving the vehicle, press
and hold the engine switch for more than 3 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times
or more in succession. ( ➞P. 367)
However, do not touch the engine switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. 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.

2084-4. Refueling
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
⬛Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehicle has a fuel tank opening that
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
WARNING
⬛When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while re fueling the vehicle. Failure to do so
may result in death or serious injury.
⚫After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before re fueling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel va pors to ignite while refueling.
⚫Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot
weather, pressurized fuel may spray ou t the filler neck and cause injury.
⚫Do not allow anyone that has not dischar ged static electricity from their body
to come close to an open fuel tank.
⚫Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
⚫Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
⚫Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically
charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard.
⬛When refueling
Observe the following prec autions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
⚫Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
⚫Stop filling the tank after the fu el nozzle automatically clicks off.
⚫Do not top off the fuel tank.
⬛When replacing the fuel tank cap
Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your
vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in death
or serious injury.

be emitted from the vents.
⚫To reduce potential odors from occurri ng, it is recommended that the air
conditioning system be set to outside air introduction mode prior to turning
the vehicle off.
