2844-1. DRIVING HINTS
This situation, known as aquaplan-
ing, means that the tyre can actu-
ally lose contact completely with
the road surface and the vehicle
can neither be steered, nor the
brakes properly applied.
Please comply with the following
when driving through water:
 Deactivate the Automatic
Start/Stop function.
 Only drive through still water.
 Only drive through water up to a
max. depth of 25 cm, 9.8 in.
 Drive through water at a walking
speed of no more than 5 km/h, 3
mph.
The vehicle is equipped with the
Anti-lock Brake System ABS as
standard.
Perform full brakin g in situations
that require it.
The vehicle remains steerable. Any
obstacles can be avoided by steer-
ing as smoothly as possible.
A pulsing of the brake pedal and
hydraulic regulating sounds indi-
cate that the anti-lock brake system
ABS is functioning.
In certain braking situations, the
perforated brake discs can cause
functional noise. However, func-
tional noises have no effect on the
efficiency and operational safety of
the brakes.
In wet weather, on gritted roads and
in heavy rain, apply the brakes
lightly every few kilometres/miles.
Driving through water
General
Safety note
NOTICE
Driving through excessively deep water too fast can result in water
entering the engine compartment,
electrical system or transmission. There is a danger of damage to prop-
erty. When driving through water, do
not exceed the maximum water depth and speed specified above.
Safe braking
General
Objects in the range of movement
of the pedals
WA R N I N G
Objects in the driver's footwell can
restrict the pedal travel or block a
pedal that has been pressed. There is a risk of accident. Ensure that items in
the vehicle are stowed securely and
cannot get into the driver's footwell. Only use floor mats that are suitable
for the vehicle and can be securely
fastened to the floor. Do not use loose floor mats, and do not place several
floor mats on top of one another.
Make sure that there is sufficient space for the pedals. Ensure that floor
mats are securely reattached after
removal, for example for cleaning.

Wear displays are distributed
across the tyre circumference and
have the legally prescribed mini-
mum height of 1.6 mm, approxi-
mately 0.06 in.
The positions of the wear indicators
are identified on the tyre’s side wall
by TWI, Tread Wear Indicator.
Inspect tyres regularly for damage,
the presence of foreign bodies and
wear.
Vehicle behaviour that may indicate
tyre damage or other faults:
• Unusual vibrations.
• Unusual tyre or running noises.
• Unusual vehicle response, such
as pronounced pu lling to the left
or right.
Damage can be caused by the fol-
lowing situations, for example:
• Driving over kerbs.
• Road damage.
• Insufficient tyre inflation pres-
sure.
• Overloading the vehicle.
• Incorrect tyre storage.
Irrespective of the tyre tread depth,
change tyres after 6 years at the
latest.

General
Safety notes
WA R N I N G
If the tyres are damaged, the tyre
inflation pressure may be reduced,
which in turn could cause you to lose control of the vehicle. There is a dan-
ger of accidents. If you suspect tyre
damage while you are driving, imme- diately reduce speed and bring the
vehicle to a stop. Have the wheels
and tyres checked. To do so, carefully drive to any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer. If necessary, have the vehicle towed or transported
there. Do not repair damaged tyres,
but have them replaced instead.
WA R N I N G
Tyres can become damaged by run-
ning over obstacles, for example
kerbs or road damage, at high speed. Larger wheels have a smaller tyre
cross-section. The smaller the tyre
cross-section, the higher the risk of tyre damage. There is a danger of
accidents and damage to property. If
possible, drive around obstacles or drive over them slowly and carefully.

take the wheel change tools and,
if necessary, the emergency
wheel out of the vehicle.
• If applicable, set up warning tri-
angle or flashing light at the cor-
rect distance.

The towing eyes of both vehicles
should be on the same side.
If it is impossible to avoid attaching
the tow bar at an angle, note the
following:
 Tow bar clearance may be lim-
ited when cornering.
 The tow bar will generate lateral
forces if it is attached at an
angle.
Note the following if using a towing
rope:
• Use nylon ropes or straps that
will allow the vehi cle to be towed
smoothly.
• Fasten the towing rope so it is
not twisted.
• Check the towing eye and towing
rope fastening regularly.
• Do not exceed a towing speed of
50 km/h, 30 mph.
• Do not exceed a towing distance
of 5 km, 3 miles.
• Ensure that the towing rope is
taut when the towing vehicle
drives off.
Always keep the screw-on towing
eye in the vehicle.
The towing eye can be screwed
into the front or rear end of the vehi-
cle.
The towing eye is located in the
on-board toolkit, see page 339.
Observe the following notes when
using the towing eye:
 Only use the towing eye supplied
with the vehicle.
 Turn the towing eye at least 5
turns clockwise an d screw it in
tight and as far as it will go. If
Safety notes
WA R N I N G
If the gross vehicle weight of the tow-
ing vehicle is less than that of the vehicle being towed, the towing eye
may be pulled off or it may not be pos-
sible to control the vehicle. There is a risk of accident. Ma ke sure that the
gross vehicle weight of the towing
vehicle is greater than the weight of
the vehicle being towed.
NOTICE
If the tow bar or the towing rope is not
attached correctly, other vehicle parts can be damaged. There is a danger
of damage to property. Attach the tow
bar or towing rope to the towing eye correctly.
