■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crys-tal information display. At extremely
low temperatures, the information dis- play monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again, causing rapid and
excessive engine braking and possi- bly an accident resulting in death or injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which indicates the maximum
engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating if
the engine coolant temperature gauge is in the red zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle
in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled com-pletely. ( →P.405)

4-1. Before driving
Driving
■Transmission information
Multidrive
To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and charging system perfor-
mance when using engine braking,
do not use the transmission in D,
must be in M and select gear step 4
or lower. ( →P.164)
Manual transmission
Refrain from driving in 6th gear to
maintain the effectiveness of
engine braking and to maintain
charging system performance.
■If the engine overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long,
steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30°C (85°F) may result
in the engine overheating. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge
indicates that the engine is over-
heating, turn the air conditioning off
immediately, leave the road and
stop the vehicle in a safe place.
( →P.405)
■When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under
the wheels of both the vehicle and
trailer. Firmly set the parking brake
and shift the shift lever to P (Multid-
rive) and 1 or R (manual transmis-
sion).
WARNING
Follow all the instructions described in
this section. Failure to do so could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■Trailer towing precautions
When towing, make sure that none of the weight limits are exceeded.
( →P.153)
■Vehicle speed in towing
Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer towing.
■Before descending hills or long declines
Reduce speed and downshift. How-
ever, never downshift suddenly while descending steep or long downhill grades.
■Operation of the brake pedal
Do not hold the brake pedal
depressed often or for long periods of time. Doing so may result in the brake overheating or reduce braking effects.
■To avoid accident or injury
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire:
Do not tow a trailer when the com- pact spare tire is installed on your vehicle.
●Vehicles with the emergency tire puncture repair kit: Do not tow a
trailer when the tire installed is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit.
●Vehicles with a Dynamic radar cruise control: Do not use dynamic
radar cruise control when you are towing.
NOTICE
■Do not directly splice trailer
lights
Directly splicing trailer lights may damage your vehicle’s electrical sys-
tem and cause a malfunction.

before the engine is restarted and
drive force is generated. When
drive force is generated, the main-
tained brake force is automatically
canceled.
zThis function operates on flat
surfaces as well as steep
inclines.
zSound may be generated from
the brake system, but this does
not indicate a malfunction.
zBrake pedal response may
change and vibration may occur,
but this does not indicate a mal-
function.
■Points for use
●If the engine switch is pressed when
the engine is stopped by the Stop &
Start system, the engine will not be
able to be restarted by the automatic
engine start function. In this case,
restart the engine using the normal
engine starting procedure. (→ P.158,
159)
●When the engine is being restarted by
the Stop & Start system, the power
outlets may be temporarily unusable,
but this does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
●Installation and removal of electrical
components and wireless devices
may affect the Stop & Start system.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for details.
●When stopping the vehicle for a lon-
ger period of time, turn the engine
switch off to stop the engine com-
pletely.

Maintenance and care
request that a record of maintenance
be kept.
■Does your vehicle need repairs?
Be on the alert for changes in perfor-
mance and sounds, and visual tip-offs
that indicate service is needed. Some
important clues are:
●Engine misses (misfire), stumbling or
pinging
●Appreciable loss of power
●Strange engine noises
●A fluid leak under the vehicle (How-
ever, water dripping from the air con-
ditioning system after use is normal.)
●Change in exhaust sound (This may
indicate a dangerous carbon monox-
ide leak. Drive with the windows open
and have the exhaust system checked
immediately.)
●Flat-looking tires, excessive tire
squeal when cornering, uneven tire
wear
●Vehicle pulls to one side when driven
straight on a level road
●Strange noises related to suspension
movement
●Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy
feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal
(vehicles with a manual transmission),
pedal almost touches the floor, vehicle
pulls to one side when braking
●Engine coolant temperature continu-
ally higher than normal (→P.86, 90)
If you notice any of these clues, take
your vehicle to any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer as soon as possi-
ble. Your vehicle may need adjustment

●Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and dam-
age painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water
immediately. If you still experience discomfort, consult a doctor.
■When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the engine switch is OFF. With the engine switch in ON, the electric cooling fan may automatically
start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is high. ( →P.324)
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying
or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner fil-ter
Driving with the air cleaner filter
removed may cause excessive engine wear due to dirt in the air.
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.If the reservoir needs frequent refill-
ing, it may indicate a serious problem.

The coolant level is satisfactory if it
is between the “F” and “L” lines on
the reservoir when the engine is
cold.
Reservoir cap
“F” line
“L” line
If the level is on or below the “L” line,
add coolant up to the “F” line. ( →P.405)
■Coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Cool-
ant” or a similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with
long-life hybrid organic acid technology.
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion-
ized water. (Minimum temperature: - 35°C [-31°F])
For more details about coolant, contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■If the coolant level drops within a
short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant reservoir caps, drain
cock and water pump. If you cannot find a leak, have any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer, test the cap and check for leaks in the cooling system.
Check the radiator, condenser clear
away any foreign objects. If either
of the above parts is extremely dirty
or you are not sure of their condi-
tion, have your vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
Checking the coolant
WARNING
■When the engine is hot
Do not remove the engine coolant reservoir cap.
The cooling system may be under
pressure and may spray hot coolant if the cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor
straight antifreeze. The correct mix- ture of water and antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication,
corrosion protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.
■If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to
prevent it from damaging parts or paint.
