2-1. Driving procedures
VERSO_EE_OM64590E
Starting on a steep uphill
Multidrive
Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to “D” or
“M”.
Gently depress the accelerator pedal.
Release the parking brake.
Manual transmission
With the parking brake set and the clutch pedal fully
depressed, shift the shift lever to “1”.
Lightly depress the accelerator pedal at the same time as
gradually releasing the clutch pedal.
Release the parking brake.
■ Hill-start assist control
The hill-start assist control allows you to smoothly start off the vehicle on a
steep or slippery uphill incline. ( P. 311)
■ Driving in the rain
● Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the
windows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be
especially slippery.
● Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road
surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.

WARNING
■ When driving the vehicle
● On vehicles with a Multidrive, 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” while 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 driving 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 br aking is not available when “N” is
selected.
● During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. 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.
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 613
● Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. ( P. 208, 214)
● When stopped on an inclined surface, use the brake pedal and parking
brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward or forward and causing
an accident.
● Do not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents
that may result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
■ When braking the vehicle
● When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and may cause one
side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking
brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
● If the power brake assist function 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
systems 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.

*1: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with
smart entry & start system) to indicate that a system check is being
performed. They will turn off after the engine is started, or after a few
seconds. There may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not
come on, or if the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional for details.

■ If the PCS warning light flashes or illuminates, and a warning message
is displayed on the multi-information display
The pre-collision system may be tempor arily unavailable or there may be a
malfunction in the system.
● In the following situations, the indicator and message will be cleared and
the system will become operational when normal operating conditions
return:
• When the area around the front sensor is hot, such as after the vehicle
has been parked in the sun
• When the windshield is fogged up or covered with condensation or ice
( P. 334, 344)
• If the area in front of the front sensor is obstructed, such as when the
hood is open
● If the PCS warning light continues to flash or illuminate, or the warning
message is not cleared, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the
vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional immediately.
■ If the TRC and VSC+ are disabled
● If the TRC and VSC+ are disabled (P. 313), pre-collision brake assist
and pre-collision braking are also di sabled. However, the pre-collision
warning function will still operate.
● The PCS warning light will turn on and a warning message will be dis-
played on the multi-information display. ( P. 551)
