lights are not designed for use at night.
Hybrid vehicle
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the daytime running lights
turn on automatically when the parking brake lever is released, if hybrid sys-
tem is operating. (However, these lights will dim when the headlight switch is
operated manually or the automatic headlight system turns on the tail lights.)
Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.

The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing that blocks the sensor is affixed to
the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

CAUTION
Caution regarding the use of windshield wiper in “AUTO” mode (vehi-
cles with a rain-sensing windshield wiper)

the windshield is subject to vibration in “AUTO” mode. Take care that your
fingers etc. do not become caught in the windshield wiper.
Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wiper, as they may damage the windshield.
When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continually as the washer fluid pump may over-
heat.
When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

• The vehicle is stopped on a steep hill.
• The brake booster vacuum is low.
• A large amount of electricity is being used.
• At high altitude.
When the above conditions improve, the Stop & Start system will stop and
restart the engine from the next time the vehicle is stopped.
In the following situations, the engine may start even without the brake
pedal being released (vehicles with a Multidrive) or clutch pedal being
depressed (vehicles with a manual transmission).
• The brake pedal is pumped or strongly depressed.
• The air conditioning system is being used or turned on.
• Vehicles with an automatic air conditioning system only: The wind-
shield defogger is turned on.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged.
• The vehicle starts to roll on an incline.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The hood is opened when the shift lever is in
N or P.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed.
• A large amount of electricity is being used.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The driver’s door is opened.
• Vehicles with a Multidrive: The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
In the following situations, it may take longer than normal for the Stop &
Start system to activate.
• The battery is discharged.
• After the battery terminals have been disconnected and reconnected
after a battery replacement, etc.
• The engine coolant temperature is low.
Automatic reactivation of the Stop & Start system
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
Even if the Stop & Start system is disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch,
it will be automatically re-enabled once the engine switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position then to the “START” position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
Even if the Stop & Start system is disabled by the Stop & Start cancel switch,
it will be automatically re-enabled once the “ENGINE START STOP” switch
is turned off then the engine is started.

The Stop & Start system protection feature
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system:
When an excessively loud sound is being projected by the audio system, the
audio system may be automatically cut off in order to maintain power for the
Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the engine switch to the “LOCK” position then to the
“ACC” or “ON” position re-enables the audio system.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system:
When an excessively loud sound is being projected by the audio system, the
audio system may be automatically cut off in order to maintain power for the
Stop & Start system function.
If this occurs, turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off then to ACCES-
SORY mode or IGNITION ON mode re-enables the audio system.
Steering wheel operation
When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel
may become heavier than when driving.
Hood
If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system,
the engine cannot be restarted by the Stop & Start system or by the auto-
matic engine start function. Restart the engine with the engine switch opera-
tion. (P. 224, 228)
Vehicles with a Multidrive: If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped
by the Stop & Start system and the shift lever is in N or P, the engine will
restart.
Hill-start assist control (vehicles with a Multidrive)
On a steep uphill grade, the vehicle may roll backward after hill-start
assist control is released. In this situation, apply the parking brake and
operate the brake pedal when putting the vehicle in motion.
This system operates on flat surfaces as well as steep grades.
When the engine is stopped due to Stop & Start system operation, the
force required to depress the brake pedal may change, but this is not a
malfunction.
When to use the Stop & Start system
Use the Stop & Start system when stopping the vehicle temporarily at red
lights, intersections, etc. When stopping the vehicle for a longer period of
time, turn off the engine completely.

Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in response to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface
Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) (if equipped)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces
TRC (Traction Control) (if equipped)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
Hill-start assist control
Except hybrid vehicle (vehicles with a Stop & Start system and a
Multidrive)
Helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when the brake
pedal is released to restart the engine

EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn
the steering wheel
