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.

WARNING

⚫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.

1744-1. Driving the vehicle
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
⬛When braking
⚫When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause one
side of the vehicle to brake different ly than the other side. Also, the parking
brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
⚫If the brake booster device does not operate, do not follow other vehicles
closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking.
In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase.
Have your brakes fixed immediately.
⚫Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted
brakes.
⚫The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems; if one of the sys-
tems fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than usual and the braking distance will increase.
Have your brakes fixed immediately.
⬛If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle. It
is dangerous to apply the brakes suddenly, as it may be difficult to control your
vehicle, which may lead to an accident.
⚫It is difficult to control your vehicle
⚫The vehicle is making abnormal sounds or vibrations
⚫The vehicle leans abnormally
For information on what to do in case of a flat tire, see P. 396.

Precautions when loading luggage
For safe and comfortable driving, observe the following when load-
ing luggage.
WARNING
⬛Things that must not be carr ied in the luggage compartment
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compartment:
⚫Receptacles containing gasoline
⚫Aerosol cans
⬛When loading luggage
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so is dangerous. It may prevent the clutch pedal (manual trans-
mission vehicles) and the brake pedal and accelerator pedal from being oper-
ated properly, and the load could block the driver’s vision, hit the driver or
passengers, possibly leading to an unforeseen accident.
⚫Try storing cargo or luggage in the luggage compartment as much as possi-
ble.
⚫Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations:
⦁ In the legroom of the driver’s seat
⦁ On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
⦁ On the instrument panel
⦁ On the dashboard
⦁ Small containers/trays without lids
⚫Secure all items in the compartment.
⚫Do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the seat-
backs.
In the event of a sudden braking or an accident, the luggage may be thrown
out and cause injury to the driver or passengers.
⚫When loading long-size lugga ge by folding the rear seatbacks, avoid placing
the luggage directly behind the seatback s of the front seats as much as pos-
sible.
⚫Do not let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. It is not designed for
occupants. They should ride in their se ats with their seat belts properly fas-
tened.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event of sudden
braking or a collision.

WARNING
⬛When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the
accelerator pedal while starting th e engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an unforeseen accident re sulting in death or serious injury.
⬛Caution while driving
If the vehicle starts sliding when the engine stops, do not open, lock or unlock
the doors until the vehicle stops safely . Doing so may activate the steering wheel
lock and lead to an unforeseen accident, resulting in serious injury or death.
⬛Stopping the engine in an emergency
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.
