■

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

driving on an expressway in the

rain, because there may be a

layer of water between the tires

and the road surface, preventing

the steering and brakes from

operating properly.

■

Engine speed while driving

(vehicles with an automatic

transmission)

In the following conditions, the

engine speed may become high

while driving. This is due to auto-

matic up-shifting control or

down-shifting implementation to

meet driving conditions. It does not

indicate sudden acceleration.

●

The vehicle is judged to be driving

uphill or downhill

●

When the accelerator pedal is

released

●

When driving on curves

●

When the brake pedal is firmly

depressed

■

Restraining the engine output

(Brake Override System)

When the accelerator and brake

pedals are depressed at the same

time, the engine output may be

restrained.

■

New vehicle break-in driving

(the first 1000 miles [1600 km])

The performance and long life of

your vehicle are dependent on how

you handle and care for your vehicle

while it is new. Follow these instruc-

tions during the first 1000 miles

(1600 km):

134

4-1. Before driving

●

Do not race the engine. And do

not allow the engine speed to

exceed 4000 rpm except in an

emergency.

●

Do not drive at one constant

engine or vehicle speed for a long

time, either fast or slow.

●

Avoid starting suddenly and rapid

acceleration, except in an emer-

gency.

●

Avoid hard braking, except in an

emergency.

The same break-in procedures

should be applied to an over-

hauled engine, newly mounted

engine or when brake pads or

brake linings are replaced with

new ones.

■

Drum-in-disc type parking

brake system

Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type

parking brake system. This type of

brake system needs bedding-down

of the brake shoes periodically or

whenever the parking brake shoes

and/or drum are replaced. Have

your Toyota dealer perform the bed-

ding down operation.

■

After the engine starts

For a short time after the engine is

started, in order to ensure emissions

performance, intake and exhaust

noise and vibration may increase,

but this does not indicate a malfunc-

tion.

■

Operating your vehicle in a for-

eign country

Comply with the relevant vehicle

registration laws and confirm the

availability of the correct fuel.

(



P.381)

WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

■

When starting the vehicle

(vehicles with an automatic

transmission)

●

Always keep your foot on the

brake pedal while stopped with

the engine running. This pre-

vents the vehicle from creeping.

●

Firmly depress the brake pedal

because engine speed may

increase immediately after start-

ing the engine, when the air

conditioning system is operat-

ing, when turning the steering

wheel, etc., thereby causing

creeping to become stronger.

Apply the parking brake as nec-

essary.

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not drive if you are unfamil-

iar with the location of the brake

and accelerator pedals to avoid

depressing the wrong pedal.

• Accidentally depressing the

accelerator pedal instead of the

brake pedal will result in sudden

acceleration that may lead to an

accident.

• When backing up, you may twist

your body around, leading to a

difficulty in operating the pedals.

Make sure to operate the pedals

properly.

• Make sure to keep a correct

driving posture even when mov-

ing the vehicle only slightly. This

allows you to depress the brake

and accelerator pedals properly.

• Depress the brake pedal using

your right foot. Depressing the

brake pedal using your left foot

may delay response in an emer-

gency, resulting in an accident.

135

4-1. Before driving

ing

WARNING

●

Do not drive the vehicle over or

stop the vehicle near flammable

materials.

The exhaust system and

exhaust gases can be

extremely hot. These hot parts

may cause a fire if there is any

flammable material nearby.

●

Vehicles with a manual trans-

mission: Do not release the

clutch pedal too quickly. Doing

so may propel the vehicle for-

ward, possibly causing an acci-

dent.

●

During normal driving, do not

turn off the engine. Turning the

engine off while driving will not

cause loss of steering or brak-

ing 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 vehicle as

soon as it is safe to do so.

However, in the event of an

emergency, such as if it

becomes impossible to stop the

vehicle in the normal way:



P.338

●

Use engine braking (downshift)

to maintain a safe speed when

driving down a steep hill.

Using the brakes continuously

may cause the brakes to over-

heat and lose effectiveness.

(



P.149, 153)

●

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 passen-

gers’ arms, heads or other parts

of their body are not outside the

vehicle.

●

Do not drive in excess of the

speed limit. Even if the legal

speed limit permits it, do not

drive over 85 mph (140 km/h)

unless your vehicle has

high-speed capability tires. Driv-

ing over 85 mph (140 km/h)

may result in tire failure, loss of

control and possible injury. Be

sure to consult a tire dealer to

determine whether the tires on

your vehicle are high-speed

capability tires or not before

driving at such speeds.

■

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

braking due to shifting, or

changes in engine speed could

cause the vehicle to skid.

●

After driving through a puddle,

lightly depress the brake pedal

to make sure that the brakes

are functioning properly. Wet

brake pads may prevent the

brakes from functioning prop-

erly. If the brakes on only one

side are wet and not functioning

properly, steering control may

be affected.

■

When shifting the shift lever

●

Vehicles with an automatic

transmission: Do not let the

vehicle roll backward while the

shift lever is in a driving posi-

tion, 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

vehicle.

136

4-1. Before driving

WARNING

●

Vehicles with an automatic

transmission: Do not shift the

shift lever to P while the vehicle

is moving.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

●

Do not shift the shift lever to a

driving position while the vehicle

is moving backward.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

●

Do not shift the shift lever to R

while the vehicle is moving for-

ward.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

●

Moving the shift lever to N while

the vehicle is moving will disen-

gage the engine from the trans-

mission. Engine braking is not

available when N is selected.

●

Vehicles with an automatic

transmission: Be careful not to

shift the shift lever with the

accelerator pedal depressed.

Shifting the shift lever to a gear

other than P or N may lead to

unexpected rapid acceleration

of the vehicle that may cause an

accident and result in death or

serious injury.

●

Do not place items in the shift

lever's surrounding area. It may

cause incorrect operation.

●

If the shift boot is pulled out

during cleaning, return it to its

previous position. If the shift

boot is left pulled out, the shift

lever may become difficult to

operate.

■

If you hear a squealing or

scraping noise (brake pad

wear limit indicators)

Have the brake pads checked and

replaced by your Toyota dealer 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 (automatic transmis-

sion) or N, the vehicle may

accelerate suddenly and unex-

pectedly, causing an accident.

●

Vehicles with an automatic

transmission: In order to pre-

vent accidents due to the vehi-

cle rolling away, always keep

depressing the brake pedal

while the engine is running, and

apply the parking brake as nec-

essary.

●

If the vehicle is stopped on an

incline, in order to prevent acci-

dents caused by the vehicle roll-

ing 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 overheat, which could

result in a fire if combustible

material is nearby.

137

4-1. Before driving

ing

WARNING

■

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 fol-

lowing:

• 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,

causing the contents to spray

over the interior of the vehicle,

and may also cause a short cir-

cuit 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

fresheners on the instrument

panel or dashboard. Adhesive

discs or containers 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 silver-colored one.

Reflected sunlight may cause

the glass to act as a lens, caus-

ing a fire.

●

Always apply the parking brake,

shift the shift lever to P (vehicles

with an automatic transmission),

stop the engine and lock the

vehicle.

Do not leave the vehicle unat-

tended while the engine is run-

ning.

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 accident.

●

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 vehi-

cle

Always turn the engine off. Other-

wise, if you accidentally move the

shift lever or depress the acceler-

ator pedal, this could cause an

accident or fire due to engine

overheating. Additionally, if the

vehicle is parked in a poorly venti-

lated area, exhaust gases may

collect and enter the vehicle, lead-

ing 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.

138

4-1. Before driving

WARNING

●

If the brake booster device does

not operate, do not follow other

vehicles closely and avoid hills

or sharp turns that require brak-

ing.

In this case, braking is still pos-

sible, but the brake pedal

should be depressed more

firmly than usual. Also, the brak-

ing 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

individual 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 exces-

sively when any of the tires is up

in the air, or the vehicle is stuck in

sand, mud, etc. This may damage

the driveline components or pro-

pel the vehicle forward or back-

ward, causing an accident.

NOTICE

■

Pre-driving check

Trapping small animals in the

cooling fan and belts of the engine

may result in a malfunction.

Check that no small animal enters

the engine compartment and

under the vehicle before starting

the engine.

■

When driving the vehicle

(vehicles with an automatic

transmission)

●

Do not depress the accelerator

and brake pedals at the same

time while driving, as this may

restrain the engine output.

●

Do not use the accelerator

pedal or depress the accelera-

tor and brake pedals at the

same time to hold the vehicle on

a hill.

■

When driving the vehicle

(vehicles with a manual trans-

mission)

●

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 shifting, do not release the

clutch pedal abruptly. Doing so

may damage the clutch, trans-

mission and gears.

●

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may cause

excessive premature wear or

damage to the clutch, eventu-

ally making it difficult to acceler-

ate and start off from a stop.

Have the vehicle inspected by

your Toyota dealer.

• Do not rest your foot on the

clutch pedal or depress it any

time other than when shifting.

Doing so may cause clutch trou-

ble.

• Do not use any gear other than

the 1st gear when starting off

and moving forward.

Doing so may damage the

clutch.

139

4-1. Before driving

ing

NOTICE

• Do not use the clutch pedal to

adjust vehicle speed.

Doing so may damage the

clutch.

• Do not use the clutch to hold the

vehicle when stopping on an

uphill grade.

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

without the vehicle completely

stopped.

Doing so may damage the

clutch, transmission and gears.

●

move or the vehicle may acceler-

ate 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,

underside of the vehicle, etc.

●

Vehicles with an automatic

transmission: Do not race the

engine for more than 5 seconds

in any position except the N or P

position when the brake is

applied or when chocks are

used in the wheels. This may

cause the transmission fluid to

overheat.

■

If you get a flat tire while driv-

ing

A flat or damaged tire may cause

the following situations. Hold the

steering wheel firmly and gradu-

ally depress the brake pedal to

slow down the vehicle.

●

It may be difficult to control your

4-1. Before driving

Cargo capacity depends on the
total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load
capacity) — (Total weight of
occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit —
(1) Locate the statement “The
combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your
vehicle’s placard.
(2) Determine the combined
weight of the driver and passen-
gers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined
