Driving
WARNING
●During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine
off while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems
will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so. However, in the event of an emer-gency, such as if it becomes impos-
sible to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 3 9 4
●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.179, 183)
●Do not adjust the positions 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.
●Always check that all passengers’
arms, heads 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
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: 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 cause the engine to stall or lead to poor brake and
steering performance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehi-cle.
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: 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 engine from the transmission.
Engine braking is not available when N is selected.

WARNING
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: Be care- ful not to shift the shift lever with the
accelerator pedal depressed. Shift- ing the shift lever to any positions 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.
■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 race the engine.If the vehicle is in any gear other
than P (Multidrive) or N, the vehicle may accelerate suddenly and unex-pectedly, causing an accident.
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: In order to prevent accidents due to the
vehicle rolling away, always keep depressing the brake pedal while the engine is running, and apply the
parking brake as necessary.
●If the vehicle is stopped on an
incline, in order to prevent acci- dents caused by the vehicle rolling forward or backward, always
depress the brake pedal and securely apply the parking brake as needed.
●Avoid revving or racing the engine.Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may
cause the exhaust system to over- heat, which could result in a fire if combustible material is nearby.
■When the vehicle is parked
●Do not leave glasses, cigarette
lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in the vehicle when it is in the sun.
Doing so may result in the follow- ing:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and
plastic material of glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, caus- ing the contents to spray over the interior of the vehicle, and may also
cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s electrical components.
●Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a place such as the glove box or on
the floor, it may be lit accidentally when luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
●Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not
place containers such as air fresh- eners on the instrument panel or dashboard. Adhesive discs or con-
tainers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehicle.
●Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a metallized film such as a sil-
ver-colored one. Reflected sunlight may cause the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.

Driving
WARNING
●Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P (vehicles
with a Multidrive), stop the engine and lock the vehicle.Do not leave the vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is running. If the vehicle is parked with the shift lever in P but the parking brake is
not set, the vehicle may start to move, possibly leading to an acci-dent.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or
immediately after turning the engine off.Doing so may cause burns.
■When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise,
if you accidentally move the shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to
engine overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and
enter the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.
■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.

NOTICE
●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.
• Do not use the clutch pedal to adjust vehicle speed. When stop-ping the vehicle with the shift lever
in a position other then N, make sure to fully depress the clutch pedal and stop the vehicle using the
brake. Doing so may damage the clutch.
• When stopping the vehicle with the shift lever in a position other than N, make sure to fully depress the
clutch pedal and stop the vehicle using the brakes.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R with-out the vehicle completely stopped.Doing so may damage the clutch,
transmission and gears.
■When parking the vehicle (vehi-
cles with a Multidrive)
Always set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P. Failure to do so
may cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is accidentally
depressed.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there
for an extended period of time. Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to
avoid damaging the wheels, under- side of the vehicle, etc.
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your vehicle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnormally.
Information on what to do in case of a
flat tire ( P.415, 426)
■When encountering flooded
roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain, etc. Doing so
may cause the following serious dam- age to the vehicle:
●Engine stalling
●Short in electrical components
●Engine damage caused by water immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle becomes flooded or stuck in mud or
sand, be sure to have any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer check
the following:

Driving
■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.
■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.179)
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.442)
■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).
