■

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.

●

A warning message is displayed

on the multi-information display

while the system is operating.

■

Breaking in your new Toyota

To extend the life of the vehicle,

observing the following precautions

is recommended:

●

For the first 186 miles (300 km):

Avoid sudden stops.

●

For the first 621 miles (1000 km):

• Do not drive at extremely high

speeds.

• Avoid sudden acceleration.

• Do not drive continuously in low

gears.

• Do not drive at a constant speed

for extended periods.

■

Brake pads and discs

●

The brake pads and discs are

designed for use under high load

conditions. Therefore, brake noise

may be generated depending on

the vehicle speed, braking force

and vehicle environment (tem-

perature, humidity, etc.).

●

The brake pad is easy to be over

dust, and life may be short.

●

The brake pad may do stick to

discs.

●

Braking force may decrease by

low temperature, snow, water.

■

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.

■

Operating your vehicle in a for-

eign country

Comply with the relevant vehicle

registration laws and confirm the

availability of the correct fuel.

■

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.

118

4-1. Before driving

WARNING

• 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.

●

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.

●

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.308

●

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.

(



131)

●

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 the vehicle

off-road. This is not an AWD

vehicle designed for off-road

driving. Proceed with all due

caution if it becomes unavoid-

able to drive offroad.

●

Do not drive across a river or

through other bodies of water.

This may cause electric/elec-

tronic components to short cir-

cuit, damage the engine or

cause other serious damage to

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.

119

4-1. Before driving

ing

WARNING

●

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

●

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.

●

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.

●

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.

■

If you hear a squealing or

scraping noise (brake pad

wear indicators)

Have your Toyota dealer check

and replace the brake pads as

soon as possible.

Rotor damage may result if the

pads are not replaced when

needed.

Front brakes only: Moderate lev-

els of brake pad and disc wear

allow enhanced front braking

power. As a result, the discs may

wear more quickly than conven-

tional brake discs. Therefore,

when replacing the brake pads,

Toyota recommends that you also

have the thickness of the discs

measured.

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 N, the vehicle may acceler-

ate suddenly and unexpectedly,

causing an accident.

●

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.

■

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.

120

4-1. Before driving

WARNING

• 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,

stop the engine and lock the

vehicle.

Do not leave the vehicle unat-

tended while the engine is run-

ning.

●

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.

●

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.

121

4-1. Before driving

ing

WARNING

■

If the vehicle becomes stuck

Do not spin the wheels exces-

sively 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 pro-

pel the vehicle forward or back-

ward, causing an accident.

NOTICE

■

When driving the vehicle

●

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.

• Do not use the clutch pedal to

adjust vehicle speed.

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.

■

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.

●

When driving over bumps in the

road, drive as slowly as possible

to avoid damaging the wheels,

underside of the vehicle, etc.

●

Make sure to idle the engine

immediately after high-load driv-

ing. Stop the engine only after

the turbocharger has cooled

down.

Failure to do so may cause

damage to the turbocharger.

■

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

vehicle.

●

The vehicle will make abnormal

sounds or vibrations.

●

The vehicle will lean abnor-

mally.

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
weight of the driver and passen-
gers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX”
amount equals 1400 lbs. and
there will be five 150 lb passen-
gers in your vehicle, the amount
of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 −

lb. (kg) get on, the available cargo
and luggage load will be reduced E
lb. (kg) as follows:

C lb. (kg) - D

lb. (kg) = E

lb.

(kg)

:D =Additional weight of people

:E =Available cargo and luggage

load

As shown in the example above,
if the number of occupants
increases, the cargo and lug-
gage load will be reduced by an
amount that equals the
increased weight due to the
additional occupants. In other
words, if an increase in the num-
ber of occupants causes an
excess of the total load capacity
(combined weight of occupants
plus cargo and luggage load),
you must reduce the cargo and
luggage on your vehicle.
