WARNING

■

When using the rear view 

monitor system

The rear view monitor system is a 

supplemental device intended to 

assist the driver when backing up. 

When backing up, be sure to visu-

ally check all around the vehicle 

both directly and using the mirrors 

before proceeding. Observe the 

following precautions to avoid an 

accident that could result in death 

or serious injuries.

●

Never depend on the rear view 

monitor system entirely when 

backing up. The image and the 

position of the guide lines dis-

played on the screen may differ 

from the actual state. Use cau-

tion, just as you would when 

backing up any vehicle.

●

Be sure to back up slowly, 

depressing the brake pedal to 

control vehicle speed.

●

The instructions given are only 

guide lines. When and how 

much to turn the steering wheel 

will vary according to traffic con-

ditions, road surface condi-

tions, vehicle condition, etc. 

when parking. It is necessary to 

be fully aware of this before 

using the rear view monitor sys-

tem.

●

When parking, be sure to check 

that the parking space will 

accommodate your vehicle 

before maneuvering into it.

●

Do not use the rear view moni-

tor system in the following 

cases:

• On icy or slick road surfaces, or 

in snow

• When using tire chains or emer-

gency tires

• When the trunk is not closed 

completely

• On roads that are not flat or 

straight, such as curves or 

slopes

●

In low temperatures, the screen 

may darken or the image may 

become faint. The image could 

distort when the vehicle is mov-

ing, or you may become unable 

to see the image on the screen. 

Be sure to visually check all 

around the vehicle both directly 

and using the mirrors before 

proceeding.

●

If the tire sizes are changed, the 

position of the fixed guide lines 

displayed on the screen may 

change.

How to use the camera

●

The rear view monitor system 

may not operate properly in the 

following cases.

• If the back of the vehicle is hit, 

the position and mounting angle 

of the camera may change.

• As the camera has a water 

proof construction, do not 

detach, disassemble or modify 

it. This may cause incorrect 

operation.

• When cleaning the camera lens, 

flush the camera with a large 

quantity of water and wipe it 

with a soft and wet cloth. 

Strongly rubbing the camera 

lens may cause the camera lens 

to be scratched and unable to 

transmit a clear image.

• Do not allow organic solvent, 

car wax, window cleaner or 

glass coating to adhere to the 

camera. If this happens, wipe it 

off as soon as possible.

• If the temperature changes rap-

idly, such as when hot water is 

poured on the vehicle in cold 

weather, the system may not 

operate normally.

• When washing the vehicle, do 

not apply intensive bursts of 

water to the camera or camera 

area. Doing so may result in the 

camera malfunctioning.

●

Do not expose the camera to 

strong impact as this could 

cause a malfunction. If this hap-

pens, have the vehicle 

inspected by your Toyota dealer 

as soon as possible.

: If equipped

Each time the switch is pressed, the 
system changes between sport 
mode and normal mode.

1

Normal mode

Provides an optimal balance of fuel 
economy, quietness, and dynamic 
performance. Suitable for normal 
driving.

2

Sport mode

Controls the transmission and 
engine to provide quick, powerful 
acceleration. This mode also 
changes the steering feel, making it 
suitable for when agile driving 
response is desired, such as when 
driving on roads with many curves.
When the sport mode is selected, 
sport mode indicator comes on.

ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem)

Helps to prevent wheel lock 
when the brakes are applied 
suddenly, or if the brakes are 
applied while driving on a slip-
pery road surface

■

Brake assist

Generates an increased level of 
braking force after the brake 
pedal is depressed when the 
system detects a panic stop sit-
uation

■

VSC (Vehicle Stability Con-
trol)

Helps the driver to control skid-
ding when swerving suddenly or 
turning on slippery road sur-
faces.

■

Enhanced VSC (Enhanced 
Vehicle Stability Control)

Provides cooperative control of 
the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional 
stability when swerving on slip-
pery road surfaces by con-
trolling steering performance.

■

TRAC (Traction Control)

Helps to maintain drive power 
and prevent the drive wheels 
from spinning when starting the 
vehicle or accelerating on slip-
pery roads

■

Active Cornering Assist 
(ACA)

Helps to prevent the vehicle 
from drifting to the outer side by 
performing inner wheel brake 
control when attempting to 
accelerate while turning

■

Hill-start assist control

Helps to reduce the backward 
movement of the vehicle when 
starting on an uphill

■

EPS (Electric Power Steer-
ing)

Employs an electric motor to 
reduce the amount of effort 
needed to turn the steering 
wheel.

The Secondary Collision 
Brake

When the SRS airbag sensor 
detects a collision and the sys-
tem operates, the brakes and 
brake lights are automatically 

Driving assist systems

To keep driving safety and 
performance, the following 
systems operate automati-
cally in response to various 
driving situations. Be 
aware, however, that these

■

Sounds and vibrations caused 

by the ABS, brake assist, VSC, 

TRAC and hill-start assist con-

trol systems

●

A sound may be heard from the 

engine compartment when the 

brake pedal is depressed repeat-

edly, when the engine is started or 

just after the vehicle begins to 

move. This sound does not indi-

cate that a malfunction has 

occurred in any of these systems.

●

Any of the following conditions 

may occur when the above sys-

tems are operating.

None of these indicates that a 

malfunction has occurred.

• Vibrations may be felt through the 

vehicle body and steering.

• A motor sound may be heard also 

after the vehicle comes to a stop.

• The brake pedal may pulsate 

slightly after the ABS is activated.

• The brake pedal may move down 

slightly after the ABS is activated.

■

Active Cornering Assist opera-

tion sounds and vibrations

When the Active Cornering Assist is 

operated, operation sounds and 

vibrations may be generated from 

the brake system, but this is not a 

malfunction.

■

EPS operation sound

When the steering wheel is oper-

ated, a motor sound (whirring 

sound) may be heard. This does not 

indicate a malfunction.

■

Automatic reactivation of TRAC 

and VSC systems

After turning the TRAC and VSC 

systems off, the systems will be 

automatically re-enabled in the fol-

lowing situations:

●

When the engine switch is turned 

off

●

If only the TRAC system is turned 

off, the TRAC will turn on when 

vehicle speed increases

If both the TRAC and VSC sys-

tems are turned off, automatic 

re-enabling will not occur when 

vehicle speed increases.

■

Operating conditions of Active 

Cornering Assist

The system operates when the fol-

lowing occurs.

●

TRAC/VSC can operate

●

The driver is attempting to accel-

erate while turning

●

The system detects that the vehi-

cle is drifting to the outer side

●

The brake pedal is released

■

Reduced effectiveness of the 

EPS system

The effectiveness of the EPS sys-

tem is reduced to prevent the sys-

tem from overheating when there is 

frequent steering input over an 

extended period of time. The steer-

ing wheel may feel heavy as a 

result. Should this occur, refrain 

from excessive steering input or 

stop the vehicle and turn the engine

snow-covered roads

●

When driving with tire chains

●

When driving over bumps in the 

road

●

When driving over roads with 

potholes or uneven surfaces

■

TRAC/VSC may not operate 

effectively when

Directional control and power may 

not be achievable while driving on 

slippery road surfaces, even if the 

TRAC/VSC system is operating. 

Drive the vehicle carefully in con-

ditions where stability and power 

may be lost.

Do not overly rely on hill-start 

assist control. Hill-start assist 

control may not operate effec-

tively on steep inclines and 

roads covered with ice.

●

Unlike the parking brake, 

hill-start assist control is not 

intended to hold the vehicle sta-

tionary for an extended period 

of time. Do not attempt to use 

hill-start assist control to hold 

the vehicle on an incline, as 

doing so may lead to an acci-

dent.

WARNING

■

When the TRAC/VSC is acti-

vated

The slip indicator light flashes. 

Always drive carefully. Reckless 

driving may cause an accident. 

Exercise particular care when the 

indicator light flashes.

■

When the TRAC/VSC systems 

are turned off

Be especially careful and drive at 

a speed appropriate to the road 

conditions. As these are the sys-

tems to help ensure vehicle stabil-

ity and driving force, do not turn 

the TRAC/VSC systems off 

unless necessary.

■

Replacing tires

Make sure that all tires are of the 

specified size, brand, tread pat-

tern and total load capacity. In 

addition, make sure that the tires 

are inflated to the recommended 

tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC sys-

tems will not function correctly if 

different tires are installed on the 

vehicle.

Contact your Toyota dealer for fur-

ther information when replacing 

tires or wheels.

■

Handling of tires and the sus-

pension

Using tires with any kind of prob-

lem or modifying the suspension 

will affect the driving assist sys-

tems, and may cause a system to 

malfunction.

■

Secondary Collision Brake

Do not rely solely upon the Sec-

ondary Collision Brake. This sys-

tem is designed to help reduce 

the possibility of further damage 

due to a secondary collision, how-

ever, that effect changes accord-

ing to various conditions. Overly 

relying on the system may result 

in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

■

Repairing or replacing snow 

tires (vehicles with a tire pres-

sure warning system)

Request repairs or replacement of 

snow tires from Toyota dealers or 

legitimate tire retailers.

This is because the removal and 

attachment of snow tires affects 

the operation of the tire pressure 

warning valves and transmitters.

278

4-6. Driving tips

COROLLA_U

Perform the following according 
to the driving conditions:



Do not try to forcibly open a 
window or move a wiper that 
is frozen. Pour warm water 
over the frozen area to melt 
the ice. Wipe away the water 
immediately to prevent it from 
freezing.



To ensure proper operation of 
the climate control system 
fan, remove any snow that 
has accumulated on the air 
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.



Check for and remove any 
excess ice or snow that may 
have accumulated on the 
exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, 
chassis, around the tires or on 
the brakes.



Remove any snow or mud 
from the bottom of your shoes 
before getting in the vehicle.

Accelerate the vehicle slowly, 
keep a safe distance between 
you and the vehicle ahead, and 
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.



Park the vehicle and shift the 
shift lever to P (continuously 

variable transmission), or 1 or 
R (manual  transmission) 
without setting the parking 
brake. The parking brake may 
freeze up, preventing it from 
being released. If the vehicle 
is parked without setting the 
parking brake, make sure to 
block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dan-
gerous because it may cause 
the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly, possibly leading to an 
accident.



Vehicles with a continuously 
variable transmission: If the 
vehicle is parked without set-
ting the parking brake, con-
firm that the shift lever cannot

*

: The shift lever will be locked if it is 

attempted to be shifted from P to 
any other position without 
depressing the brake pedal. If the 
shift lever can be shifted from P, 
there may be a problem with the 
shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota 
dealer immediately.

Symptom

Solution

An Apple Car-
Play/Android Auto con-
nection cannot be 
established.

Check if the device supports Apple Car-
Play/Android Auto.
Check if Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is 
enabled on the connected device.
Check if that the Android Auto application is 
installed to the device to be connected.
For details, refer to 
Apple CarPlay: 
https://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/.
Android Auto: 
https://www.android.com/auto/.

Check if “Apple CarPlay”/“Android Auto” of 
“Projection Settings” on the general settings 
screen is set to on. (



P.321)

Check if the USB cable being used is securely 
connected to the device and USB port.
Check that the device is connected directly to 
the USB port of the system and not connected 
to a USB hub.
For Apple CarPlay: Check if the Lightning cable 
being used is certified by Apple. Check if Siri is 
enabled.

After checking all of the above, try to establish 
an Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connection.

As the system is not designed to play video 
through Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, this is not 
a malfunction.

Although an Apple Car-
Play/Android Auto con-
nection is established,

The map display of the 
Apple CarPlay Maps app 
cannot be enlarged or 
contracted with pinch 
multi-touch gestures.

As the Apple CarPlay Maps app is not compati-
ble with pinch multi-touch gestures, this is not a 
malfunction.

During Apple CarPlay 
music application (Apple 
Music, Spotify, etc.) play-
back, if the iPhone is 
operated to start and play 
audio from an application 
that is not compatible with 
Apple CarPlay* and the 
onboard device volume is 
changed, the audio of the 
incompatible application 
stops and the system 
resumes playback of the 
original music application.

This operation is performed according to the 
specification of the onboard device, this is not a 
malfunction.

After interrupt audio (such 
as navigation route guid-
ance) is played from an 
application that is not 
compatible with Apple 
CarPlay while the onboard 
device is playing audio, 
the system does not 
resume playback of the 
original audio.

This operation is performed according to the 
specification of the onboard device, this is not a 
malfunction.
Manually change the audio source by yourself. 
Or, do not use applications that are not compat-

When using Android Auto, 
hands-free call audio can-
not be heard from the 
vehicle’s speakers.

Disconnect the phone from the USB cable and 
check if hands-free call audio can be heard

Treble/Mid/Bass

How good an audio program 
sounds is largely determined by 
the mix of the treble, mid and 
bass levels. In fact, different 
kinds of music and vocal pro-
grams usually sound better with 
different mixes of treble, mid 
and bass.
