Safety information

WARNING

High gross weight can overheat

the tires, damage them internally

and cause a sudden drop in tire

inflation pressure. Driving charac-

teristics may be negatively

impacted, reducing lane stability,

lengthening the braking distances

and changing the steering

response. There is a risk of an

accident. Pay attention to the per-

mitted load capacity of the tires

and never exceed the permitted

gross weight.

254

3-1. CONTROLS

Locate the statement “The
combined weight of occu-
pants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX
lbs” on your vehicle’s plac-
ard.

Determine the combined
weight of the driver and pas-
sengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.

Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and pas-
sengers from XXX kg or XXX
lbs.

The resulting figure equals
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX”
amount equals 1,400 lbs and
there will be five 150 lbs pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs (1,400–750 (5 x 150)
= 650 lbs).

Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo
and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step

If your vehicle will be towing
a trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual
to determine how this
reduces the available cargo
and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle.

WARNING

Loose object or devices with a

cable connection to the vehicle,

for instance mobile phones, can

be thrown about the car’s interior

while driving, for instance in the

event of an accident or during

braking and evasive maneuvers.

There is a risk of injury. Secure

loose objects or devices with a

cable connection to the vehicle in

the car’s interior.

WARNING

Improperly stowed objects can

shift and be thrown into the car’s

interior, for instance in the event

of an accident or during braking

and evasive maneuver. Vehicle

occupants can be hit and injured.

There is a risk of injury. Stow and

secure objects and cargo prop-

erly.

NOTICE

Fluids in the cargo area can

cause damage. There is a risk of

damage to property. Make sure

that no fluids leak in the cargo

area.

Steps for Determining Cor-
rect Load Limit

255

CON

ROLS

The maximum load is the sum of
the weight of the occupants and
the cargo.
The greater the weight of the
occupants, the less cargo that
can be transported.



Cover sharp edges and cor-
ners on the cargo.



Heavy cargo: stow as far for-
ward and as low as possible,
ideally directly behind the
cargo partition.



Fasten the aids for securing
the load to the lashing eyes in
the cargo area.



Smaller and lighter cargo:
secure with ratchet straps or
with a cargo net or draw
straps.



Larger and heavy cargo:
secure with cargo straps.

underneath the body, for instance

caused by the exhaust gas sys-

tem, while driving. Contact with

the exhaust gas system can

cause burns. There is a risk of

injury. Do not touch the hot

exhaust gas system, including the

exhaust pipe.

WARNING

If combustible materials, such as

leaves or grass, come in contact

with hot parts of the exhaust gas

system, these materials can

4-1. DRIVING TIPS

When visibility is poor due to
fog, even if it is daytime, turn the
low beam headlights on to make
your vehicle more visible to
other vehicles, etc. Drive with
caution at a low speed, using
the centerline, guardrails, tail-
lights of a preceding vehicle,
etc., as guide.

When the vehicle is being blown
by crosswinds, drive at a lower
speed and grip the steering
wheel stronger than normal.
The vehicle is especially sus-
ceptible to crosswinds when
exiting a tunnel or underpass,
when driving on a bridge or
embankment, or when passing
or being passed by a truck or
other large vehicle.



During a rain storm or when
the road surface is wet, the
road surface may be slippery
and visibility may be reduced.
In this case, turn the low
beam headlights on to make
your vehicle more visible to

Mobile communication
devices in the vehicle

WARNING

Vehicle electronics and mobile

phones can influence one

another. There is radiation due to

the transmission operations of

mobile phones. There is a risk of

injury or risk of damage to prop-

erty. If possible, in the car's inte-

rior use only mobile phones with

direct connections to an exterior

antenna in order to exclude

mutual interference and deflect

the radiation from the car's inte-

rior.

other vehicles, etc. Increase
the distance between your
vehicle and preceding vehi-
cles and drive safely at a
lower speed than normal,
avoiding sudden accelera-
tion, braking or steering oper-
ations.



Use the rear defroster and air
conditioning system to pre-
vent the windows from fog-
ging up.



Hydroplaning is more likely to
occur when driving on ruts or
through large puddles.

On wet or slushy roads, a
wedge of water can form
between the tires and road sur-
face.
This phenomenon is referred to
as hydroplaning. It is character-
ized by a partial or complete
loss of contact between the tires
and the road surface, ultimately
undermining your ability to steer
and brake the vehicle.

When driving through water, fol-
low the following:



Deactivate Auto Start/Stop
function.



Drive through calm water

only.



Drive through water only if it is
not deeper than maximum 9.8
inches/25 cm.



Drive through water no faster
than walking speed, up to 3
mph/5 km/h.

The vehicle is equipped with an
Antilock Braking System ABS as
a standard feature.
Perform an emergency stop in
situations that require such.
Steering is still responsive. You
can still avoid any obstacles with
a minimum of steering effort.
Pulsation of the brake pedal and
sounds from the hydraulic cir-
cuits indicate that the Antilock
Braking System ABS is in its
active mode.

General information

Safety information

NOTICE

When driving too quickly through

too deep water, water can enter

into the engine compartment, the

electrical system or the transmis-

sion. There is a risk of damage to

property. When driving through

water, do not exceed the maxi-

mum indicated water level and the

maximum speed for driving

through water.

Braking safely

General information

264

4-1. DRIVING TIPS

perforated brake discs can emit
functional noises. However,
functional noises have no effect
on the performance and opera-
tional reliability of the brake.

When roads are wet, salted, or
in heavy rain, gently press the
brake pedal every few miles.
Ensure that this action does not
endanger other traffic.
The heat generated during brak-
ing dries brake discs and brake
pads and protects them against
corrosion.
In this way braking efficiency will
be available when you need it.

■

General information

Drive long or steep downhill gra-
dients in the gear that requires
least braking effort. Otherwise,
the brakes may overheat and
reduce brake efficiency.
You can increase the engine's
braking effect by shifting down,
going all the way to first gear, if
needed.

■

Safety information

Corrosion on the brake discs
and contamination on the brake
pads are increased by the fol-
lowing circumstances:



Low mileage.



Extended periods when the
vehicle is not used at all.

Objects in the area around
the pedals

WARNING

Objects in the driver's floor area

can limit the pedal distance or

block a depressed pedal. There is

a risk of an accident. Stow objects

in the vehicle such that they are

secured and cannot enter into the

driver's floor area. Use floor mats

that are suitable for the vehicle

and can be safely attached to the

floor. Do not use loose floor mats

and do not layer several floor

mats. Make sure that there is suf-

ficient clearance for the pedals.

Ensure that the floor mats are

securely fastened again after they

were removed, for instance for

cleaning.

Driving in wet conditions

Hills

WARNING

Light but consistent brake pres-

sure can lead to high tempera-

tures, brakes wearing out and

possibly even brake failure. There

is a risk of an accident. Avoid

placing excessive stress on the

brake system.

WARNING

In idle state or with the engine

switched off, safety functions, for

instance engine braking effect,

braking assistance and steering

assistance, may not be available.

There is a risk of accident. Do not

attempt to drive in idle state or

with the engine switched off.

Brake disc corrosion

265

4-1. DRIVING TIPS

DR
IVING TIPS



Infrequent use of the brakes.



Aggressive, acidic, or alka-
line cleaning agents.

Corrosion buildup on the brake
discs will cause a pulsating
effect on the brakes in their
response - generally this cannot
be corrected.

When using the automatic air
conditioning, condensation
water develops and collects
underneath the vehicle.

Higher mechanical and thermal
loads during racetrack operation
lead to increased wear. This
wear is not covered by the war-
ranty. The vehicle is not
designed for use in motor sports
competition.
Have vehicle checked by your
Toyota dealer before and after
driving on a racetrack.

The vehicle contains advanced
technologies for the reduction of
consumption and emission val-
ues.
The fuel consumption depends
on various factors, such as driv-
ing style, road conditions, main-
tenance or environmental
factors.
Carrying out certain measures,
such as a moderate driving style
and regular maintenance, can
influence fuel consumption and
the environmental impact.

options

Reducing fuel consump-
tion

General information

266

4-1. DRIVING TIPS

Additional weight increases fuel
consumption.

Attached parts on the vehicle
impair the aerodynamics and
increase the fuel consumption.

Open windows increase air
resistance and therefore lead to
greater fuel consumption.

Tires can affect consumption in
various ways, for instance tire
size may influence consump-
tion.

Check and, if needed, correct
the tire inflation pressure at least
twice a month and before start-
ing on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure
increases rolling resistance and
thus raises fuel consumption
and tire wear.

Do not wait for the engine to
warm-up while the vehicle
remains stationary. Start driving
right away, but at moderate
engine speeds.
This is the quickest way of
warming the cold engine up to
operating temperature.

Driving smoothly and proactively
reduces fuel consumption.
Avoid unnecessary acceleration
and braking.
By maintaining a suitable dis-
tance to the vehicle driving
ahead of you.

Driving at low engine speeds
lowers fuel consumption and
reduces wear.
If necessary, observe the vehi-
cle's gear shift indicator, refer to
page 149.

When approaching a red light,
take your foot off the accelerator
and let the vehicle coast to a
halt.
For going downhill take your foot
