■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 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.
■Engine speed while driving (vehi-
cles with a Multidrive)
In the following conditions, the engine
speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting con-
trol or down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not indi-
cate sudden acceleration.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving
uphill or downhill
●When the accelerator pedal is
released
●When the brake pedal is depressed
while power mode is selected
■Restraining the engine output
(Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake ped-
als are depressed at the same time,
the engine output may be restrained.
●A warning message is displayed on
the multi-information display while the
system is operating.

4-1. Before driving
Driving
WARNING
■When braking
●When the brakes are wet, drive
more cautiously. Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this 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 brake booster device does not
operate, do not follow other vehi- cles 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 indi-vidual 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.
■If the vehicle becomes stuck
Do not spin the wheels excessively
when a driven wheel is up in the air, or the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, etc. This may damage the driveline
components or propel the vehicle for- ward or backward, causing an acci-dent.
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle (vehi-cles with a Multidrive)
●Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during driving, as this may restrain
the engine output.
●Do not use the accelerator pedal or
depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
■When driving the vehicle (vehi-cles with a manual transmission)
●Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during driving, as this may restrain
the engine output.
●Do not shift gears unless the clutch
pedal is fully depressed. After shift- ing, do not release the clutch pedal abruptly. Doing so may damage the
clutch, transmission and gears.
●Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exces- sive premature wear or damage to the clutch, eventually making it diffi-
cult to accelerate and start off from a stop. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal or depress it any time other than when shifting.
Doing so may cause clutch trouble.
• Do not use any gear other than the
1st gear when starting off and mov- ing forward.Doing so may damage the clutch.

4-1. Before driving
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
zGet the feel for turning, stopping
and reversing with the trailer
coupled by practicing in an area
with no or light traffic.
zWhen 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.
■Sudden acceleration/steering
input/cornering
Executing sharp turns when towing
may result in the trailer colliding
with your vehicle. Decelerate well in
advance when approaching turns
and take them slowly and carefully
to avoid sudden braking.
■Important points regarding
turning
The wheels of the trailer will travel
closer to the inside of the curve
than the wheels of the vehicle. To
make allowance for this, take the
turns wider than you would nor-
mally do.
■Important points regarding
stability
Vehicle movement resulting from
uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The
vehicle may also be rocked by
passing buses or large trucks. Fre-
quently check behind when moving
alongside such vehicles. As soon
as such vehicle movement occurs,
immediately start to decelerate
smoothly by slowly applying the
brakes. Always steer the vehicle
straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles
Consider the total combined length
of your vehicle and trailer and
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance is sufficient before execut-
ing lane changes.

4-2. Driving procedures
*: If equipped
*: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce
noise, shift the shift lever to D for nor-
mal driving.
■To protect the Multidrive
If the Multidrive fluid temperature is
high, “Transmission Oil Temp. High Stop
in a safe place and See owner’s man-
ual” will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display and the vehicle will go
into transmission protection mode auto-
matically. Have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■Multidrive fail-safe control
The system detects malfunctioning parts
targeted (all of the solenoids that per-form the shifting function) by the On-
Board Diagnostics, and performs fail-
safe mechanisms, such as restricting
the shifting function or transmission ratio
control. In this event, the malfunction
indicator lamp turns on.
■When driving with dynamic radar
cruise control activated (if
equipped)
Even when switching the driving mode
to power mode with the intent of
enabling engine braking, engine braking
will not occur because dynamic radar
cruise control will not be canceled.

■AI-SHIFT
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suit-
able gear step according to driver per-
formance and driving conditions. AI-
SHIFT automatically operates when the
driving mode is set to Normal mode with
the shift lever in D. (Shifting the shift
lever to M cancels the function.)
■G AI-SHIFT
G AI-SHIFT automatically selects a suit-
able gear for sporty driving according to
driver’s input and driving conditions. G
AI-SHIFT operates automatically when
the shift lever is in D and power mode is
selected for the driving mode. (Selecting
other than power mode or shifting the
shift lever to the other position cancels
this function)

■Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to pre- vent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting. The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in ON
and the brake pedal is being depressed.
■If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
First, check whether the brake pedal is
being depressed. If the shift lever cannot be shifted with your foot on the brake pedal, there may
be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.The following steps may be used as an
emergency measure to ensure that the shift lever can be shifted.
Releasing the shift lock:
1 Set the parking brake.
2 Turn the engine switch off.
3 Depress the brake pedal.
4 Ply the cover up with a flathead screwdriver or equivalent tool.To prevent damaging the cover,
wrap the tip of the flathead screw- driver with a tape.

■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions
while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to dis- charge any static electricity. It is important to discharge static elec-
tricity before refueling because sparks resulting from static electric-ity can cause fuel vapors to ignite
while refueling.
●Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened. Wait until the sound cannot be
heard before fully removing the cap. In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck
and cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has not
discharged static electricity from their body to come close to an open fuel tank.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.Fuel contains substances that are
harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling the
vehicle. Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is stati-
cally charged. This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible igni-
tion hazard.
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.
