2624-1. DRIVING TIPS
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
WARNING
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 that 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
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.

occur with low-profile tires,
which provide less cushioning
between the wheel and the
road. Be careful to avoid road
hazards and reduce your speed,
especially if your vehicle is
equipped with low-profile tires.
Indications of tire damage or
other vehicle malfunctions:
• Unusual vibrations.
• Unusual tire or running noises.
• Unusual handling such as a strong tendency to pull to the
left or right.
• Uneven wear pattern, e.g., increased wear in the area of
the tire shoulder.
Damage can be caused by the
following situations, for instance:
• Driving over curbs.
• Road damage.
• Tire inflation pressure too low.
• Vehicle overloading.
• Incorrect tire storage. Have mounting and wheel bal-
ancing carried out by your Toy-
ota dealer.
The following properties are rec-
ommended and approved by the
manufacturer of the vehicle for
the approved wheels and tires
per vehicle type and special
equipment:
• Wheel and tire combinations.
• Rim designs.
• Tire sizes.
• Tire brands.
You can ask your Toyota dealer
about the approved wheels and
tires for the vehicle and the spe-
cial equipment.
Safety information
WARNING
Damaged tires can lose tire infla-
tion pressure, which can lead to
loss of vehicle control. There is a
risk of an accident. If tire damage
is suspected while driving, imme-
diately reduce speed and stop.
Have wheels and tires checked.
For this purpose, drive carefully to
the nearest your Toyota dealer.
Have vehicle towed or trans-
ported as needed. Do not repair
damaged tires, but have them
replaced.
WARNING
Tires can become damaged by
driving over obstacles, e.g., curbs
or road damage, at high speed.
Larger wheels have a smaller tire
crosssection. The smaller the tire
cross-section, the
higher the risk
of tire damage. There is a danger
of accidents and property dam-
age. If possible, avoid driving over
objects or road conditions that
may damage tires, or drive over
them slowly and carefully.

6 With standby state switched
on or the engine running,
switch on the compressor.
Let the compressor run for max.
10 minutes to fill the tire with
sealant and achieve a tire infla-
tion pressure of approx. 2.0 bar.
While the tire is being filled with
sealant, the tire inflation pres-
sure may sporadically reach
approx. 5 bar. Do not switch off
the compressor at this point.
1 Switch off the compressor. 2
Read the tire inflation pres-
sure on the tire pressure
gauge.
To continue the trip, a tire infla-
tion pressure of at least 2 bar
must be reached.
1 Unscrew the filling hose of
the sealant container from
the tire valve.
2 Press the red unlocking
device.
3 Remove the sealant con-
tainer from the compressor.
4 Wrap and store the sealant
container in suitable material
to avoid dirtying the cargo
area.
1 Pull the connector out of the
power socket inside the vehi-
cle.
2 Drive 33 ft/10 m forward and
back to distribute the sealant
in the tire.

Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
TPM, refer to page 287.
Replace the nonworking tire and the sealant container of the
Mobility System promptly.
Tire chains cannot be mounted.
Snow tires should be used
instead.
The system monitors tire infla-
tion pressure in the four
mounted tires. The system
warns you if there is a loss of
pressure in one or more tires.
Sensors in the tire valves mea-
sure the tire inflation pressure
and tire temperature.
The system detects the
mounted tires automatically. The
system displays the specified
nominal pressure values on the
Control Display and compares
these values to the actual tire

A broken-down vehicle can be
towed or pushed.
Follow the following instructions:
Make sure that the standby
state isswitched on; other-
wise, the low beams, tail
lights, turn signals, and wipers
may be unavailable.
 Do not tow the vehicle with
the rear axle tilted, as the
front wheels could turn.
 When the engine is stopped,
there is no power assistance.
Consequently, more effort
needs to be applied when
braking and steering.
 Larger steering wheel move-
ments are required.
 The towing vehicle must not
be lighter than the vehicle
being towed; otherwise, it will
not be possible to control han-
dling.
 Do not exceed a towing
speed of 30 mph/50 km/h.
 Do not exceed a towing dis-
tance of 30 miles/50 km.
Additional information:
Rolling or pushing the vehicle,
refer topage 130. The vehicle should only be
transported on a loading plat-
form.

Observe the following notes
when using the tow rope:
Use nylon ropes or straps,
which will enable the vehicle
to be towed without jerking.
 Make sure the tow rope is not
twisted when fastening.
 Check the fastening of the
tow fitting and tow rope in reg-
ular intervals.
 Do not exceed a towing
speed of 30 mph/50 km/h.
 Do not exceed a towing dis-
tance of 3 miles/5 km.
 When starting to tow the vehi-
cle, make sure that the tow
rope is taut.
The screw-in tow fitting should
always be carried in the vehicle.
The tow fitting can be screwed
in at the front or rear of the vehi-
cle. The tow fitting is found in the
onboard vehicle tool kit, refer to
page 311.
Observe the following notes
when using the tow fitting:

Use only the tow fitting pro-
vided with the vehicle.
 Turn the tow fitting at least 5
turns clockwise and screw it
in as far as it will go. If neces-
sary, tighten with a suitable
object.
 After use, unscrew the tow fit-
ting counter clockwise.
 Use the tow fitting for towing
on paved roads only.
 Avoid lateral loading of the
tow fitting, for instance do not
lift the vehicle by the tow fit-
ting.
 Check the attachment of the
tow fitting in regular intervals.
