nearby.
Pull the lever rearward and then
return it to its original position.

The high beams will illuminate
while the lever is pulled, however,
after the lever is returned to its orig-
inal position, the low beams will

WARNING

■

Caution regarding the use of

washer fluid

When it is cold, do not use the

washer fluid until the windshield

becomes warm. The fluid may

freeze on the windshield and

cause low visibility. This may lead

to an accident, resulting in death

or serious injury.

NOTICE

■

When the washer fluid tank is

empty

Do not operate the switch continu-

ally as the washer fluid pump may

overheat.

■

When a nozzle becomes

blocked

In this case, contact your Toyota

dealer.Do not try to clear it with a

pin or other object. The nozzle will

be damaged.

Fuel tank opening for unleaded

gasoline

To help prevent incorrect fueling,

your vehicle has a fuel tank opening

that only accommodates the spe-

cial nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.

Opening the fuel tank

cap

The fuel tank of your vehicle
has a special structure,
which requires a reduction
in fuel tank pressure before
refueling. After the opener
switch has been pressed, it
will take several seconds
until the vehicle is ready for

WARNING

■

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 sur-

face to discharge any static

electricity. It is important to dis-

charge static electricity before

refueling because sparks result-

ing from static electricity 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 statically charged.

This may cause static electricity

to build up, resulting in a possi-

ble ignition 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.

197

4-4. Refueling

ing

Press the opener switch.

The fuel filler door will open within

about 10 seconds of the switch

being pressed. Before refueling is

possible, a message will be shown

on the multi-information display in

the instrument cluster to indicate

the progress of the fuel filler door

opener.

Turn the fuel tank cap slowly
and remove it, then hang it
on the back of the fuel filler
door.

■

If the fuel filler door cannot be

opened

Consult your Toyota dealer.

After refueling, turn the fuel tank
cap until you hear a click. Once
the cap is released, it will turn
slightly in the opposite direction.

WARNING

●

Do not top off the fuel tank.

NOTICE

■

Refueling

●

Finish refueling within 30 min-

utes. If more than 30 minutes

passes, the internal valve

closes. In this condition, fuel

may overflow during the refuel-

ing process.

Press the fuel filler door opener

switch again.

●

Make sure that the fuel filler

door lock is not pushed by the

fuel nozzle boot, etc. If the lock

is held, the internal valve closes

and fuel may overflow. To pre-

vent it, press the fuel filler door

opener switch again.

●

Do not spill fuel during refueling.

Doing so may damage the vehi-

cle, such as causing the emis-

sion control system to operate

abnormally or damaging fuel

system components or the vehi-

cle’s painted surface.

3.0

The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
consists of the driving
assist systems and contrib-
utes to a safe and comfort-
able driving experience:

WARNING

■

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0

The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0

operates under the assumption

that the driver will drive safely,

and is designed to help reduce

the impact to the occupants in a

collision and assist the driver

under normal driving conditions.

As there is a limit to the degree of

recognition accuracy and control

performance that this system can

provide, do not overly rely on this

system. The driver is solely

responsible for paying attention to

the vehicle’s surroundings and

driving safely.

■

For safe use

●

Do not overly rely on this sys-

tem. The driver is solely respon-

sible for paying attention to the

vehicle’s surroundings and driv-

ing safely. This system may not

operate in all situations and pro-

vided assistance is limited.

Over-reliance on this system to

drive the vehicle safely may

lead to an accident resulting in

death or serious injury.

●

Do not attempt to test the oper-

ation of the system, as it may

not operate properly, possibly

leading to an accident.

●

If attention is necessary while

performing driving operations or

a system malfunction occurs, a

warning message or warning

buzzer will be operated. If a

warning message is displayed

on the display, follow the

instructions displayed.

●

Depending on external noise,

the volume of the audio system,

etc. it may be difficult to hear the

warning buzzer. Also, depend-

ing on the road conditions, it

may be difficult to recognize the

operation of the system.

■

When it is necessary to dis-

able the system

In the following situations, make

sure to disable the system.

Failure to do so may lead to the

system not operating properly,

possibly leading to an accident

resulting in death or serious injury.

●

When the vehicle is tilted due to

being overloaded or having a

flat tire

●

When driving at extremely high

speeds

●

When towing another vehicle

●

When the vehicle is being trans-

ported by a truck, ship, train,

etc.

●

When the vehicle is raised on a

lift and the tires are allowed to

rotate freely

●

When inspecting the vehicle

using a drum tester such as a

chassis dynamometer or speed-

ometer tester, or when using an

on vehicle wheel balancer

●

When the vehicle is driven in a

sporty manner or off-road

●

PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-

tem)

The pre-collision system
uses sensors to detect
objects (



P.208) in the path

of the vehicle. When the
system determines that the
possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with a detectable
object is high, a warning
operates to urge the driver
to take evasive action and
the potential brake pressure
is increased to help the
driver avoid the collision. If
the system determines that
the possibility of a collision
is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the
collision or help reduce the
impact of the collision.

The pre-collision system
can be disabled/enabled
and the warning timing can
be changed. (

P.217)

The system can detect the fol-

(Detectable objects differ
depending on the function.)

: Detected as a detectable object

only when being ridden.

■

Pre-collision warning

When the system determines
that the possibility of a collision
is high, a buzzer will sound and
an icon and warning message
will be displayed on the
multi-information display to urge
the driver to take evasive action.
If the detectable object is a vehi-
cle, moderate braking will be
performed with the warning.

If the system determines that
the accelerator pedal is strongly
depressed, the following icon
and message will be displayed
on the multi-information display.

WARNING

■

For safe use

●

Driving safely is solely the

responsibility of the driver. Pay

careful attention to the sur-

rounding conditions in order to

ensure safe driving.

Never use the pre-collision sys-

tem in place of normal braking

operations. This system cannot

help avoid or reduce the impact

of a collision in every situation.

Over-reliance on this system to

drive the vehicle safely may

lead to an accident resulting in

death or serious injury.

●

Although the pre-collision sys-

tem is designed to help avoid or

help reduce the impact of a col-

lision, its effectiveness may

change according to various

conditions. Therefore, it may not

always be able to achieve the

same level of performance.

Read the following items care-

fully. Do not overly rely on this

system and always drive care-

fully.
