Driving
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced, the
windows may become fogged-up, and
the road could be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain,
as the road surface could be espe-
cially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driv-
ing on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water
between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and
brakes from operating properly.
■ECO Accelerator Guidance
(P.182)
It is easier to drive in an Eco-friendly
manner by driving while referring to the
ECO Accelerator Guidance display.
Also, by using the ECO Accelerator
Guidance it is easier to increase the
“Eco Score” evaluation.
●When starting off: While staying within
the ECO Accelerator Guidance range,
gradually depress the accelerator
pedal and accelerate to the desired
speed. If excessive acceleration is
avoided, the “Start” score will
increase.
●When driving: After accelerating to the
desired speed, release the accelera-
tor pedal and drive at a stable speed
within the ECO Accelerator Guidance
range. By keeping the vehicle within
the ECO Accelerator Guidance range,
the “Cruise” score will increase.
●When stopping: When stopping the
vehicle, early releasing the accelera-
tor pedal will cause the “Stop” score to
increase.
■Restraining the hybrid system out-
put (Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake ped-
als are depressed at the same time,
the hybrid system output may be
restrained.
●A warning message is displayed on
the multi-information display and head-up display (if equipped) while
the system is operating. (P.574)
■Restraining sudden start (Drive-
Start Control)
●When the following unusual operation
is performed, the hybrid system output
may be restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted from R
to D, D to R, N to R, P to D
*, or P to R*
(D includes S) with the accelerator
pedal depressed, a warning message
appears on the multi-information dis-
play and head-up display (if
equipped). If a warning message is
shown on the multi-information dis-
play, read the message and follow the
instructions.
• When the accelerator pedal is
depressed too much while the vehicle
is in reverse.
*: Depending on the situation, the shift
lever may not be changed.
●While Drive-Start Control is being acti-
vated, your vehicle may have trouble
escaping from the mud or fresh snow.
In such case, deactivate TRC
(P.439) to cancel Drive-Start Con-
trol so that the vehicle may be able to
escape from the mud or fresh snow.
●Drive-Start Control does not work
when Trail Mode is turned on.
■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observ-
ing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
●For the first 300 km (200 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 800 km (500 miles):
Do not tow a trailer.
●For the first 1000 km (600 miles):
• Do not drive at extremely high
speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low
gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for
extended periods.

3025-1. Before driving
■Operating your vehicle in a foreign
country
Comply with the relevant vehicle regis- tration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P.620)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the “READY” indicator is illuminated. This
prevents the vehicle from creeping.
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accel- erator pedal instead of the brake
pedal will result in sudden accelera- tion that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist
your body around, leading to a diffi- culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle only slightly. This allows
you to depress the brake and accel- erator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your
right foot. Depressing the brake pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-
ing in an accident.
●The driver should pay extra atten- tion to pedestrians when the vehicle is powered only by the electric
motor (traction motor). As there is no engine noise, the pedestrians may misjudge the vehicle’s move-
ment. Even though the vehicle is equipped with the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System, drive with care as
pedestrians in the vicinity may still not notice the vehicle if the sur-rounding area is noisy.
●Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable
materials such as leaves, paper or rags.The exhaust system and exhaust
gases can be extremely hot. These hot parts may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
●During normal driving, do not turn off the hybrid system. Turning the
hybrid system off while driving will not cause loss of steering or brak-ing control, however, power assist
to the steering will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull over
and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. In the event of an emergency, such
as if it becomes impossible to stop the vehicle in the normal way:  P.560
●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.321)
●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.

Your vehicle will handle differently
when towing a trailer. In order to
avoid accident, death or serious
injury, keep the following in mind
when towing:
■Checking connections
between trailer and lights
Stop the vehicle and check the
operation of the connection
between the trailer and lights after
driving for a brief period as well as
before starting off.
■Practicing driving with a cou-
pled trailer
 Get the feel for turning, stopping
and reversing with the trailer
coupled by practicing in an area
with no or light traffic.
 When reversing with a coupled
trailer, hold the section of the
steering wheel nearest to you
and rotate clockwise to turn the
trailer left or counterclockwise to
turn it right. Always rotate a little
at a time to prevent steering
error. Have someone guide you
when reversing to lessen the risk
of an accident.
■Increasing vehicle-to-vehicle
distance
At a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), the
distance to the vehicle running
ahead of you should be equivalent
to or greater than the combined
length of your vehicle and trailer.
Avoid sudden braking that may
cause skidding. Otherwise, the
vehicle may spin out of control. This
is especially true when driving on
wet or slippery road surfaces.

NOTICE
■When the rear bumper strength-
ening material is aluminum
Ensure the steel bracket part does not come directly in contact with that
area.
When steel and aluminum come into contact, there is a reaction similar to
corrosion, which will weaken the sec- tion concerned and may result in damage. Apply a rust inhibitor to parts
that will come in contact when attach- ing a steel bracket.

WARNING
■Toyota Safety Sense
The Toyota Safety Sense is designed
to operate under the assumption that the driver will drive safely, and is designed to help reduce the impact to
the occupants and the vehicle in the case of a collision or assist the driver in normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of rec- ognition accuracy and control perfor-mance that this system can provide,
do not overly rely on this system. The driver is always responsible for pay-ing attention to the vehicle’s sur-
roundings and driving safely.

3565-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
■Limitations of the pre-collision system
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your sur-
roundings. Do not use the pre-collision system instead of normal braking opera-
tions under any circumstances. This system will not prevent colli-sions or lessen collision damage or
injury in every situation. Do not overly rely on this system. Failure to do so may lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Although this system is designed to
help avoid a collision or help reduce the impact of the collision, its effec-tiveness may change according to
various conditions, therefore the system may not always be able to achieve the same level of perfor-
mance. Read the following conditions care-fully. Do not overly rely on this sys-
tem and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-
sibility of a collision: P.359
• Conditions under which the system may not operate properly: P.360
●Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself.
Depending on the objects used for testing (dummies, cardboard objects imitating detectable objects,
etc.), the system may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident.
■Pre-collision braking
●When the pre-collision braking
function is operating, a large amount of braking force will be applied.
●If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision brak-ing function, the pre-collision brak-
ing function operation will be canceled after approximately 2 sec-onds. Depress the brake pedal as
necessary.
●The pre-collision braking function
may not operate if certain opera- tions are performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being
depressed strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine that the driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly pre- vent the pre-collision braking function from operating.
●In some situations, while the pre-collision braking function is operat-
ing, operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly or the steer-
ing wheel is turned and the system determines that the driver is taking evasive action.
●If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may deter-
mine that the driver is taking eva- sive action and possibly delay the operation timing of the pre-collision
braking function.
■When to disable the pre-colli-
sion system
In the following situations, disable the system, as it may not operate prop-
erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed
●When your vehicle is towing another vehicle
●When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of
transportation
●When the vehicle is raised on a lift
with the hybrid system on and the tires are allowed to rotate freely

WARNING
■Before using LTA system
●Do not rely solely upon the LTA
system. The LTA system does not automatically drive the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention that
must be paid to the area in front of the vehicle. The driver must always assume full responsibility for driving
safely by paying careful attention to the surrounding conditions and operating the steering wheel to cor-
rect the path of the vehicle. Also, the driver must take adequate breaks when fatigued, such as from
driving for a long period of time.
●Failure to perform appropriate driv-
ing operations and pay careful attention may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●When not using the LTA system, use the LTA switch to turn the sys-
tem off.
■Situations unsuitable for LTA
system
In the following situations, use the LTA switch to turn the system off.
Failure to do so may lead to an acci- dent, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Vehicle is driven on a road surface which is slippery due to rainy
weather, fallen snow, freezing, etc.
●Vehicle is driven on a snow-cov-
ered road.
●White (yellow) lines are difficult to
see due to rain, snow, fog, dust, etc.
●Vehicle is driven in a temporary lane or restricted lane due to con-struction work.
●Vehicle is driven in a construction zone.
●A spare tire, tire chains, etc. are equipped.
●When the tires have been exces-sively worn, or when the tire infla-tion pressure is low.
●When tires of a size other than specified are installed.
●Vehicle is driven in traffic lanes other than that highways and free-
ways.
●When your vehicle is towing a
trailer or during emergency towing
■Preventing LTA system malfunc-
tions and operations performed by mistake
●Do not modify the headlights or
place stickers, etc. on the surface of the lights.
●Do not modify the suspension etc. If the suspension etc. needs to be replaced, contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not install or place anything on the hood or grille. Also, do not install a grille guard (bull bars, kan-
garoo bar, etc.).
●If your windshield needs repairs,
contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Conditions in which functions may not operate properly
In the following situations, the func- tions may not operate properly and the vehicle may depart from its lane.
Drive safely by always paying careful attention to your surroundings and operate the steering wheel to correct
the path of the vehicle without relying solely on the functions.

■Before using dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range
●Driving safely is the sole responsi-
bility of the driver. Do not rely solely on the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to
your surroundings.
●The dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range provides driv- ing assistance to reduce the driver’s burden. However, there are
limitations to the assistance pro- vided.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.

• Conditions under which the vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode may not function correctly: P.387
●Set the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffic
flow, road conditions, weather con- ditions, etc. The driver is responsi-ble for checking the set speed.
●Even when the system is function-ing normally, the condition of the
preceding vehicle as detected by the system may differ from the con-dition observed by the driver.
Therefore, the driver must always remain alert, assess the danger of each situation and drive safely.
Relying solely on this system or assuming the system ensures safety while driving can lead to an
accident, resulting in death or seri- ous injury.
●Switch the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range setting to off, using the cruise control main
switch when not in use.

3805-5. Using the driving support systems
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the sys-
tem applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will
respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the sys-
tem cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped
by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the “+RES” switch or
depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising.
If the start-off operation is not performed, system control continues to keep your
vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane
while driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehicle will accelerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may be determined solely
based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (left side driver position
versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a region where the over-
taking lane is on a different side from where the vehicle is normally driven, the vehi-
cle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated in the opposite direction to
the overtaking lane (e.g., if the driver normally operates the vehicle in a region
where the overtaking lane is to the right but then drives to a region where the over-
taking lane is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is acti-
vated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the
set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to
constant speed cruising.
