other vehicles, etc. Increase
the distance between your
vehicle and preceding vehi-
cles and drive safely at a
lower speed than normal,
avoiding sudden accelera-
tion, braking or steering oper-
ations.
 Use the rear defroster and air
conditioning system to pre-
vent the windows from fog-
ging up.
 Hydroplaning is more likely to
occur when driving on ruts or
through large puddles.
On wet or slushy roads, a
wedge of water can form
between the tires and road sur-
face.
This phenomenon is referred to
as hydroplaning. It is character-
ized by a partial or complete
loss of contact between the tires
and the road surface, ultimately
undermining your ability to steer
and brake the vehicle.
When driving through water, fol-
low the following:
 Deactivate Auto Start/Stop
function.
 Drive through calm water only.
 Drive through water only if it is
not deeper than maximum 9.8
inches/25 cm.
 Drive through water no faster
than walking speed, up to 3
mph/5 km/h.
The vehicle is equipped with an
Antilock Braking System ABS as
a standard feature.
Perform an emergency stop in
situations that require such.
Steering is still responsive. You
can still avoid any obstacles with
a minimum of steering effort.
Pulsation of the brake pedal and
sounds from the hydraulic cir-
cuits indicate that the Antilock
Braking System ABS is in its
active mode.
In certain braking situations, the

General information
Safety information
NOTICE
When driving too quickly through
too deep water, water can enter
into the engine compartment, the
electrical system or the transmis-
sion. There is a r isk of damage to
property. When driving through
water, do not exc eed the maxi-
mum indicated water level and the
maximum speed for driving
through water.

perforated brake discs can emit
functional noises. However,
functional noises have no effect
on the performance and opera-
tional reliability of the brake.
When roads are wet, salted, or
in heavy rain, gently press the
brake pedal every few miles.
Ensure that this action does not
endanger other traffic.
The heat generated during brak-
ing dries brake discs and brake
pads and protects them against
corrosion.
In this way braking efficiency will
be available when you need it.
■General information
Drive long or steep downhill gra-
dients in the gear that requires
least braking effort. Otherwise,
the brakes may overheat and
reduce brake efficiency.
You can increase the engine's
braking effect by shifting down,
going all the way to first gear, if
needed.
■Safety information
Corrosion on the brake discs
and contamination on the brake
pads are increased by the fol-
lowing circumstances:
 Low mileage.
 Extended periods when the
vehicle is not used at all.
Objects in the area around
the pedals
WA R N I N G
Objects in the dri
ver's floor area
can limit the peda l distance or
block a depressed pedal. There is
a risk of an accident. Stow objects
in the vehicle such that they are
secured and cannot enter into the
driver's floor area. Use floor mats
that are suitable for the vehicle
and can be safely attached to the
floor. Do not use loose floor mats
and do not layer several floor
mats. Make sure t hat there is suf-
ficient clearance for the pedals.
Ensure that the floor mats are
securely fastened again after they
were removed, fo r instance for
cleaning.
Driving in wet conditions
Hills
WA R N I N G
Light but consis tent brake pres-
sure can lead to high tempera-
tures, brakes wearing out and
possibly even brake failure. There
is a risk of an accident. Avoid
placing excessive stress on the
brake system.
WA R N I N G
In idle state or with the engine
switched off, safety functions, for
instance engine braking effect,
braking assistance and steering
assistance, may not be available.
There is a risk of accident. Do not
attempt to drive in idle state or
with the engine switched off.

DRIVING TIPS
 Infrequent use of the brakes.
 Aggressive, acidic, or alka-
line cleaning agents.
Corrosion buildup on the brake
discs will cause a pulsating
effect on the brakes in their
response - generally this cannot
be corrected.
When using the automatic air
conditioning, condensation
water develops and collects
underneath the vehicle.
Higher mechanical and thermal
loads during racetrack operation
lead to increased wear. This
wear is not covered by the war-
ranty. The vehicle is not
designed for use in motor sports
competition.
Have vehicle checked by your
Toyota dealer before and after
driving on a racetrack. This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures and functions that are not
necessarily available in your
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.
The vehicle contains advanced
technologies for the reduction of
consumption and emission val-
ues.
Fuel consumption depends on a
number of different factors.
Carrying out certain measures,
such as a moderate driving style
and regular maintenance, can
influence fuel consumption and
the environmental impact.

Additional weight increases fuel
consumption.
Attached parts on the vehicle
impair the aerodynamics and
increase the fuel consumption.
Open windows increase air
resistance and therefore lead to
greater fuel consumption.
Tires can affect consumption in
various ways, for instance tire
size may influence consump-
tion.
Check and, if needed, correct
the tire inflation pressure at least
twice a month and before start-
ing on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure
increases rolling resistance and
thus raises fuel consumption
and tire wear.Do not wait for the engine to
warm-up while the vehicle
remains stationary. Start driving
right away, but at moderate
engine speeds.
This is the quickest way of
warming the cold engine up to
operating temperature.
Driving smoothly and proactively
reduces fuel consumption.
Avoid unnecessary acceleration
and braking.
By maintaining a suitable dis-
tance to the vehicle driving
ahead of you.
Driving at low engine speeds
lowers fuel consumption and
reduces wear.
If necessary, observe the vehi-
cle's gear shift indicator, refer to
page 146.
When approaching a red light,
take your foot off the accelerator
and let the vehicle coast to a
halt.
For going downhill take your foot

vehicle roll.
The flow of fuel is interrupted
while coasting.
Switch off the engine during lon-
ger stops, for instance at traffic
lights, railroad crossings or in
traffic congestion.
The Auto Start/Stop function of
the vehicle automatically
switches off the engine during a
stop.
If the engine is switched off and
then restarted rather than leav-
ing the engine running con-
stantly, fuel consumption and
emissions are reduced. Sav-
ings can begin within a few sec-
onds of switching off the engine.
In addition, fuel consumption is
also determined by other fac-
tors, such as driving style, road
conditions, maintenance or envi-
ronmental factors.
Functions such as seat heating
and the rear window defroster require a lot of energy and
increase fuel consumption,
especially in city and
stop-and-go traffic.
Switch off these functions if they
are not needed.
Have the vehicle maintained
regularly to achieve optimal
vehicle efficiency and service
life. Toyota recommends that
maintenance work be performed
by Toyota.

When refueling, insert the filler
nozzle completely into the filler
pipe. Lifting up the fuel pump
nozzle during refueling causes:
Premature switching off.
 Reduced return of the fuel
vapors.
The fuel tank is full when the
filler nozzle clicks off the first
time.
Make sure that the fuel cap is closed properly after refueling,
otherwise the emissions warn-
ing light may light up.
Follow safety regulations posted
at the gas station.

Depending on the region, many
gas stations sell fuel that has
been customized to winter or
summer conditions. Fuel that is
available in winter,for instance
helps make a cold start easier.
For the best fuel efficiency, the
gasoline should be sulfur-free or
very low in sulfur content.
Fuels that are marked on the
gas pump as containing metal must not be used.
Fuels with a maximum ethanol
content of 25 %, i. e. E10 or
E25, may be used for refueling.
Ethanol should meet the follow-
ing quality standards:
US: ASTM 4806–xx
CAN: CGSB-3.511–xx
xx: comply with the current stan-
dard in each case.

The use of poor-quality fuels may
result in harmful engine deposits
or damage. Additionally, problems
relating to drivability, starting and
stalling, especially under certain
environmental conditions such as
high ambient temperature and
high altitude, may occur.
If drivability prob lems are encoun-
tered, we recommend switching
to a high quality gasoline brand
and a higher octa ne grade - AKI
number - for a few tank fills. To
avoid harmful engi ne deposits, it
is highly recommended to pur-
chase gasoline from Top Tier
retailers.
Failure to comply with these rec-
ommendations may result in the
need for unscheduled mainte-
nance.
