Driving
WARNING
●Always check that all passengers’ arms, head or other parts of their
body are not outside the vehicle.
■When driving on slippery road
surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage
and reduce your ability to control the vehicle.
●Sudden acceleration, engine brak-ing due to shifting, or changes in engine speed could cause the vehi-
cle to skid.
●After driving through a puddle,
lightly depress the brake pedal to make sure that the brakes are func-tioning properly. Wet brake pads
may prevent the brakes from func- tioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet and not func-
tioning properly, steering control may be affected.
■When shifting the shift lever
●Do not let the vehicle roll backward while a forward driving position is
selected, or roll forward while the shift lever is in R. Doing so may result in an accident
or damage to the vehicle.
●Do not shift the shift lever to P while
the vehicle is moving. Doing so can damage the transmis-sion 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 transmis-sion and may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift lever to a driv- ing position while the vehicle is moving backward.
Doing so can damage the transmis- sion and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the
hybrid system. Engine braking is not available with the hybrid system disengaged.
●Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal
depressed. Shifting the shift lever to a gear other than P or N may lead to unex-
pected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.
Doing so can damage the transmis- sion and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
■If you hear a squealing or scrap-ing noise (brake pad wear indica-
tors)
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when needed.It is dangerous to drive the vehicle
when the wear limits of the brake pads and/or those of the brake discs are exceeded.
■When the vehicle is stopped
●Do not depress the accelerator
pedal unnecessarily. If the vehicle is in any gear other than P or N, the vehicle may accel-
erate suddenly and unexpectedly, causing an accident.
