■When the Crawl Control sys-
tem is operated continuously
●If Crawl Control is used continu-
ously for a long time, the brake
system overheats . In this case, a
buzzer will sou nd, a message
stating a malfunction will be dis-
played on the multi-information
display, and the Crawl Control
indicator will flash and then go off.
In this event, as Crawl Control will
be temporarily inoperable, stop
the vehicle immediately in a safe
place, and allow the brake system
to cool down suffi ciently until the
message goes off. (In the mean-
time, normal driving is possible.)
●If Crawl Control is used continu-
ously for a long time, the auto-
matic transmission overheats. In
this case, a buzzer will sound, the
system will be temporarily can-
celed, and a message stating a
malfunction may be displayed on
the multi-informat ion display. In
this event, stop th e vehicle in a
safe place until the message goes
off.
■Sounds and vibrations caused
by the Crawl Control system
●A sound may be heard from the
hybrid system compartment when
the hybrid system is started or just
after the vehicle begins to move.
This sound does not indicate that

may occur when the Crawl Control
system is operating. None of
these are indicators that a mal-
function has occurred.

NOTICE
■To prevent water damage
Take all necessary safety mea-
sures to ensure that water dam-
age to the engine, hybrid system
or other components does not
occur.
●Water entering the engine air
intake will cause severe engine
damage.
●Water entering the automatic
transmission will cause deterio-
ration in shift quality, locking up
of your transmission accompa-
nied by vibration, and ultimately
damage.
●Water can wash the grease
from wheel bearings, causing
rusting and premature failure,
and may also enter the differen-
tials, transmission and transfer
case, reducing the gear oil’s
lubricating qualities.
■When you drive through
water
●If driving through water, such as
when crossing shallow streams,
first check the depth of the
water and the bottom of the riv-
erbed for firmness. Drive slowly
and avoid deep water.
●When crossing a river or a pud-
dle, be sure to cross it without
stopping midway. If you stop or
drive at extremely low speeds in
water, water may enter the vehi-
cle and damage the hybrid bat-
tery making the vehicle unable
to be driven.
■Inspection after off-road driv-
ing
●Sand and mud that has accu-
mulated around brake discs
may affect braking efficiency
and may damage brake system
components.
●Always perform a maintenance
inspection after each day of off-
road driving that has taken you
through rough terrain, sand,
mud, or water. For scheduled
maintenance information, refer
to the “Scheduled Maintenance
Guide” or “Owner’s Manual
Supplement”.
