Installation of a mobile two-way radio system

As the installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle may

affect electronic systems such as the multi-port fuel injection system/sequen-

tial multi-port fuel injection system, cruise control system, anti-lock brake

system, SRS airbag system and seat belt pretensioner system, be sure to

check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or special instruc-

tions regarding installation.

Scrapping of your Toyota

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain

explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt

pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be

sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner

removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Toyota

dealer before you scrap your vehicle.

Perchlorate Material

Special handling may apply,

See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These compo-

nents may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote con-

trol batteries.

CAUTION

■General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-

ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi-

cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and

reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in

death or serious injury.

Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other

drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis-

tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or

reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,

your occupants or others.

■General precaution regarding children’s safety

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to

have or use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.

There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with

the windows, the moon roof, or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat

build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to

children.

●If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to

the back window

1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

■Note for the entry function

●Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection

areas), the system may not operate properly in the following cases:

• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle,

near the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or

unlocked.

• The electronic key is on the instrument panel or floor, in the glove box,

or in the auxiliary box of the instrument panel.

●As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may

be locked or unlocked by anyone. However, only the doors detecting the

electronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.

●The doors may lock or unlock if the electronic key is within the effective

range and a large amount of water splashes on the door handle, such as

in the rain or in a car wash. The doors will automatically be locked after

approximately 60 seconds if a door is not opened and closed.

●If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the elec-

tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not

be unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to

unlock the doors.)

■Notes for locking the doors

●Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent

lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.

●When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition

signals will be shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recogni-

tion signals will be given.

●If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the

effective range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key

in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or more separate from the vehicle while the vehi-

cle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)

●If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet

during a car wash, a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the

alarm, lock all the doors.

1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

Before driving

●The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice,

snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again, or

use the lock sensor on the lower part of the door handle.

●Fingernails may scrape against the door during operation of the door

handle. Be careful not to injure fingernails or damage the surface of the

door.

■Notes for the unlocking function

●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.

●A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the

doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the

original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door

handle again.

●If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly

longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.

■When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods

To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 6 ft. (2

m) of the vehicle.

■To operate the system properly

Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not get

the electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the system from

the outside of the vehicle.

Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the

key may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly.

(The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention function may

not operate.)

■If the smart key system does not operate properly

●Locking and unlocking the doors: Use the mechanical key. (→P. 596)

●Starting the engine: →P. 597

1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

■Electronic key battery depletion

●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.

●As the electronic key always transmits radio waves, the battery will

become depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following

symptoms indicate that the electronic key battery may be depleted.

Replace the battery when necessary. (→P. 528)

• The smart key system or the wireless remote control does not operate.

• The detection area becomes smaller.

• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.

●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 3 ft.

(1 m) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:

•TVs

• Personal computers

• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers

• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones

• Glass top ranges

• Table lamps

■Precautions when disconnecting the battery

●In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart

key system immediately after the battery has been disconnected. Use

the wireless remote control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the

doors.

●The engine may not start on the first attempt after reconnecting the bat-

tery but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a malfunc-

tion.

●The “ENGINE START STOP” switch mode is memorized by the vehicle.

When the battery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it

was in before the battery was disconnected. Before disconnecting the

battery, turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off.

If you are unsure what mode the “ENGINE START STOP” switch was in

when the battery was disconnected, be especially careful when reconnect-

ing the battery.

up straight and well back in the seats.

●Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

●Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

■Seat belt pretensioners

●Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger's seat.

Doing so will disperse the passenger's weight, which prevents the sensor

from detecting the passenger's weight properly. As a result, the seat belt

pretensioner for the front passenger's seat may not activate in the event of

a collision.

●If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In

that case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at

your Toyota dealer.

■Adjustable shoulder anchor

Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your

shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off

your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an

accident and cause death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop,

sudden swerve or accident. (→P. 80)

1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

CAUTION

■Child restraint lock function belt precaution

Do not allow children to play with the child restraint lock function belt. If the

belt becomes twisted around a child’s neck, it will not be possible to pull the

belt out leading to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death.

If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used

to cut the belt.

■Seat belt damage and wear

●Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be

jammed in the door.

●Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose

parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat

belts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.

●Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.

If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Toyota

dealer.

●Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been

involved in a serious accident, even if there’s no obvious damage.

●Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the

seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Toyota dealer.

Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating

properly, resulting in death or serious injury.

■Using a seat belt extender

●Do not wear the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without

the extender.

●Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system

because the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increas-

ing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.

●The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when

used by another person, or at a different seating position other than the

one originally intended.

CAUTION

■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 surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to

discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting 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 possible ignition

hazard.

■When refueling

Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck. If fuel is added with

the nozzle slightly lifted away from the fuel filler neck, the automatic shut off

function may not operate, resulting in fuel overflowing from the tank.

■When replacing the fuel cap

Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your

vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in

death or serious injury.

death or serious injury to the driver or passenger.

●Do not place anything under the front seats.

Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat

tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci-

dent, resulting in death or serious injury. The adjustment mechanism may

also be damaged.

■Adjusting the seat position

●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-

gers are not injured by the moving seat.

The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain

types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the

occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce the

risk of death or serious injury.

1-7. Safety information

Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based

on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag

system controls airbag deployment power for the driver and front pas-

senger. The driver airbag system consists of the driver’s seat belt

buckle switch etc. The front passenger’s airbag system consists of

the front passenger occupant classification sensor etc.

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The

SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. The

airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and an airbag

sensor.

In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag sys-

tem triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflators

quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion

of the occupants.

■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

●Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying

(inflating) SRS airbag.

●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.

●Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator)

as well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side

rails, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.

●The windshield may crack.

●For Safety Connect subscribers, if the SRS airbags deploy or in the event

of a severe rear-end collision, the system is designed to send an emer-

gency call to the response center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location

(without needing to push the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to

speak with the occupants to ascertain the level of emergency and assis-

tance required. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent

automatically treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the

necessary emergency services. (→P. 469)

117

1-7. Safety information

Before driving

■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)

●The front SRS airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds

the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi-

mately 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with a fixed wall that

does not move or deform).

However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle

strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle and sign pole, which can move

or deform on impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision

(e.g. a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes

under, the bed of a truck etc.).

●It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of the

vehicle is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front air-

bags and the seat belt pretensioners may not activate together.

●The SRS front passenger airbag will not activate if there is no passenger

sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front passenger airbag

may deploy, if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccupied.

■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side airbags)

The SRS side airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the

set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force pro-

duced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle colliding with the vehi-

cle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an

approximately speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h]).

■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS curtain shield airbags)

The SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of vehicle rollover or

an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force correspond-

ing to the impact force produced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg]

vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the

vehicle orientation at an approximately speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h]).

1-7. Safety information

■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other

than a collision

The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the

underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.

The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy under the situations shown

in the illustration.

■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front air-

bags)

The SRS front airbags are generally not designed to inflate if the vehicle is

involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-

speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes suffi-

cient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front air-

bags may occur.

●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or

hard surface

●Falling into or jumping over a deep hole

●Landing hard or falling

●The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal.

●The vehicle skids and hits a curb stone.

●Collision from the side

●Collision from the rear

●Vehicle rollover

Before driving

■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags

(SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags)

The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system may not activate if the

vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a colli-

sion to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.

The SRS side airbags are not generally designed to inflate if the vehicle is

involved in a frontal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-

speed side collision.

The SRS curtain shield airbags are not generally designed to inflate if the

vehicle is involved in a frontal or rear collision, if it pitches end over end, or if

it is involved in a low-speed side collision.

●Collision from the side to the vehicle

body other than the passenger com-

partment

●Collision from the side at an angle

●Collision from the front

●Collision from the rear

●Vehicle rollover

●Collision from the front

●Collision from the rear

●Pitching end over end

not disconnect the battery cables before contacting your Toyota dealer.

●Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.

●The front of the vehicle is damaged or

deformed, or was involved in an acci-

dent that was not severe enough to

cause the SRS airbags to inflate.

●A portion of a door is damaged or

deformed, or the vehicle was involved

in an accident that was not severe

enough to cause the SRS side airbags

and curtain shield airbags to inflate.

●The pad section of the steering wheel,

dashboard near the front passenger air-

bag or lower portion of the instrument

panel is scratched, cracked, or other-

wise damaged.

●The surface of the seats with the side

airbag is scratched, cracked, or other-

Before driving

CAUTION

■SRS airbag precautions

Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.

Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts

properly.

The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.

●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause

death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises:

Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm)

of inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag pro-

vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the

center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in.

(250 mm) away now, you can change your driving position in several

ways:

• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the

pedals comfortably.

• Slightly recline the back of the seat.

Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 10 in.

(250 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim-

ply by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of

your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm,

non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.

• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-

bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.

The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while

still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of

the instrument panel controls.

122

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

■SRS airbag precautions

●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and

can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very

close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air-

bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits

upright.

●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or

seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small

to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys-

tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in

the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are

safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. (→P. 135)

●If the seat belt extender has been con-

nected to the driver's seat belt buckle

but the seat belt extender has not also

been fastened to the latch plate of the

driver's seat belt, the SRS driver airbag

system will judge that the driver is

wearing the seat belt even though the

seat belt has not been connected. In

this case, the SRS driver airbag may

not activate correctly in a collision,

resulting in death or serious injury in the

event of a collision. Be sure to wear the

seat belt with the seat belt extender.

■SRS airbag precautions

●Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of

these items could become projectiles and may cause death or serious

injury, should the SRS curtain shield airbags deploy.

●If a vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag will deploy,

be sure to remove it.

●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side

airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags. Such

accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable

the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in

death or serious injury.

●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-

bag components.

Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.

●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-

bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.

●If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a

door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do

so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.

●If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel

pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have

them replaced by your Toyota dealer.

■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions

Observe the following precautions regarding the front passenger occupant

classification system.

Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

●Wear the seat belt properly.

●Make sure the front passenger’s seat belt plate has not been left inserted

into the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat.

●Make sure the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is not illuminated when using

the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the “AIR BAG OFF”

indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat

belt buckle, and reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender

after making sure the “AIR BAG ON” indicator light is illuminated. If you

use the seat belt extender while the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illumi-

nated, the front passenger airbag and front passenger knee airbag may

not activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in the

event of a collision.

●Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or equipment.

●Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands or

feet on the front passenger seat seatback from the rear passenger seat.

●Do not let a rear passenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet or

press on the seatback with their legs.

●Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.

●Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a rear

seat. This may cause the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light to be illuminated,

which indicates that the passenger’s airbags will not deploy in the event of

a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear seat, return the seat-

back to a position where it does not touch the rear seat. Keep the front

passenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is moving.

Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of the

seat belt system.

134

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions

●If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the “AIR BAG ON” indicator

light is illuminated. If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator is illuminated, ask the

passenger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and

with the seat belt worn correctly. If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator still

remains illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or

if that is not possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward.

●When it is unavoidable to install a forward-facing child restraint system on

the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front pas-

senger seat in the proper order. (→P. 139)

●Do not modify or remove the front seats.

●Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Other-

wise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the

detection system. In this case, contact your Toyota dealer immediately.

●Child restraint systems installed on the second seat should not contact the

front seatbacks.

●Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion and seat cover, that cov-

ers the seat cushion surface.

●Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat.

135

Before driving

Child restraint systems

Points to remember

Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat is

much safer than installing one on the front passenger seat.

●Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is

appropriate to the age and size of the child.

●For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the

child restraint system.

General installation instructions are provided in this manual.

(→P. 139)

Types of child restraints

Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 types

according to the age and size of the child:

Rear facing — Infant seat/convertible seat

A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be prop-

erly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder

belt.

The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the

use of child restraint systems.

CTH17AS024

136

1-7. Safety information

Forward facing — Convertible seat

Booster seat

CTH17AS025

CTH17AS026

■Selecting an appropriate child restraint system

●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child

becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.

●If the child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear

seat and use the vehicle’s seat belt. (→P. 79)

137

1-7. Safety information

Before driving

CAUTION

■Child restraint precautions

●For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child

must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system

depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is

not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be

crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.

●Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-

forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci-

dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat

than in the front seat.

●Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger

seat even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated. In the event

of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag

can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-facing child

restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat.

●A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas-

senger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that

requires a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seat

since there is no top tether strap anchor for the front passenger seat.

Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat as

far back as possible even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light illuminated,

because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed

and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.

138

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

■Child restraint precautions

●Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system

on the front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system

with the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not

securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or seri-

ous injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a sudden stop,

sudden swerve or an accident.

●Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body

against the door or the area of the seat, front and rear pillars or roof side

rail from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy

even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if

the SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags inflate, and the

impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.

●Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by

the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If

it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child

in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident.

■Child restraint lock function belt precaution

Do not allow children to play with the child restraint lock function belt. If the

belt becomes twisted around a child’s neck, it will not be possible to pull the

belt out leading to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death.

If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used

to cut the belt.

■When the child restraint system is not in use

●Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is

not in use. Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in the pas-

senger compartment.

●If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the

vehicle or store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent it

from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or

accident.

CAUTION

■When installing a child restraint system

●Vehicles with third row seats: When using the LATCH anchors for a child

restraint system, move the seat as far back as possible, with the seatback

close to the child restraint system.

●When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is

positioned across the center of the child's shoulder. The belt should be

kept away from the child's neck, but not so that it could fall off the child's

shoulder. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event

of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

●Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not

twisted.

●Push and pull the child restraint system from side to side and forward to be

sure it is secure.

●After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.

●Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system

manufacturer.

151

1-7. Safety information

Before driving

CAUTION

■Do not use a seat belt extender

If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the

seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause

death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of sud-

den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

■To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors

●When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects

around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child

restraint. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached, or it

may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the

event of sudden braking, sudden swerve or an accident.

●When using the left side LATCH

anchors for the child restraint system,

do not sit in the center seat. Seat belt

function may be impaired, such as

being positioned overly high or loose-

fitting, which may result in death or seri-

ous injury in the event of sudden brak-

ing or an accident.

2-1. Driving procedures

When driving

Starting off on a steep uphill

Make sure that the parking brake is set and shift the shift lever

to D.

Gently depress the accelerator pedal.

Release the parking brake.

■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.

■Breaking in your new Toyota

To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is rec-

ommended:

●For the first 200 miles (300 km):

Avoid sudden stops.

●For the first 500 miles (800 km):

Do not tow a trailer.

●For the first 1000 miles (1600 km):

• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.

• Avoid sudden acceleration.

• Do not drive continuously in the low gears.

• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.

■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 when-

ever the parking brake shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have your Toyota

dealer perform the bedding down operation.

STEP

156

2-1. Driving procedures

■Operating your vehicle in a foreign country

Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability

of the correct fuel. (→P. 613)

CAUTION

■When starting the vehicle

Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine run-

ning. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.

■When driving the vehicle

●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel-

erator 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

that could result in death or serious injury.

• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi-

culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.

• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the

vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and acceler-

ator pedals properly.

• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake

pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-

ing 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.

●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.

●If the smell of exhaust is noticed inside the vehicle, open the windows and

check that the back door is closed. Large amounts of exhaust in the vehi-

cle can cause driver drowsiness and an accident, resulting in death or a

serious health hazard. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer

immediately.

157

2-1. Driving procedures

When driving

CAUTION

●Do not shift the shift lever to P while the vehicle is moving.

Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle

control.

●Do not shift the shift lever to R while the vehicle is moving forward.

Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle

control.

●Do not shift the shift lever to D while the vehicle is moving backward.

Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle

control.

●Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the

engine from the transmission. Engine braking is not available when N is

selected.

●During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off

while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking 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. 565

●Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving

down a steep hill.

Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose

effectiveness. (→P. 175)

●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 that can cause accidents,

resulting in death or serious injury.

●Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body

are not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury.

●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit per-

mits it, do not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicle has high-

speed capability tires. Driving 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.

158

2-1. Driving procedures

CAUTION

■When driving on slippery road surfaces

●Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and

reduce your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident.

●Sudden changes in engine speed, such as engine braking caused by up-

shifting or down-shifting, may cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an

accident.

●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 properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet

and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected, resulting in

an accident.

■When shifting the shift lever

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.

■If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear limit indica-

tors)

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.

159

2-1. Driving procedures

When driving

CAUTION

■When the vehicle is stopped

●Do not race the engine.

If the vehicle is in any gear other than P or N, the vehicle may accelerate

suddenly and unexpectedly, causing an accident.

●Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time.

If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space

and check that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.

●In order to prevent accidents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep

depressing the brake pedal while the engine is running, and apply the

parking brake as necessary.

●If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused

by the vehicle rolling 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 following:

• 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 circuit in the vehi-

cle'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 vehi-

cle.

160

2-1. Driving procedures

CAUTION

●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, causing a fire.

●Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P, stop the engine

and lock the vehicle.

Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.

●Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or immediately

after turning the engine off.

Doing so may cause burns.

●Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it

is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is

running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead

to death or a serious health hazard.

■Exhaust gases

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless

and odorless. Inhaling exhaust gases may lead to death or a serious health

hazard.

●If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area, stop the engine. In a closed

area, such as a garage, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.

This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

●The exhaust system should be checked occasionally. If there is a hole or

crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise,

be sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your Toyota dealer.

Failure to do so may allow exhaust gases to enter the vehicle, resulting in

death or a serious health hazard.

161

2-1. Driving procedures

When driving

CAUTION

■When taking a nap in the vehicle

Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever

or depress the accelerator 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, leading 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 power brake assist function does not operate, do not follow other

vehicles closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking.

In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be

depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase.

●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.

If this happens, do not continue to drive the vehicle. Have your brakes

fixed immediately.

162

2-1. Driving procedures

NOTICE

■When driving the vehicle

Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake ped-

als at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.

■When parking the vehicle

move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is acci-

dentally 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 pump.

●When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid

damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.

■If you get a flat tire while driving

A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering

wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle.

2-4. Using other driving systems

■Sensor detection information

●Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect

the ability of a sensor to correctly detect an obstacle. Particular instances

where this may occur are listed below.

• There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.

• A sensor is frozen.

• A sensor is covered in any way.

• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.

• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass

• The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle

engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing

ultrasonic waves.

• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the

vicinity.

• A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.

• A bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.

• The vehicle is approaching a tall or right-angled curb.

• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather

• A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension etc.) is

installed.

In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of

their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by a sensor to be closer

than they are.

●The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Pay

particular attention to the following obstacles:

• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.

• Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves

• Sharply-angled objects

• Low obstacles

• Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction

of your vehicle

death or serious injuries:

●Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.

●Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is

clear.

●Use your own eyes to confirm the vehicle’s surroundings, as the displayed

image may become faint or dark, and moving images will be distorted, or

not entirely visible when the outside temperature is low. When backing up,

be sure to check behind and all around the vehicle visually and with the

mirrors before proceeding.

●Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual

distances.

●Do not use the system if the back door is open.

■Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system

●If the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting

angle may have changed. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota

dealer.

●Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the

Off-road precautions

Off-road vehicle feature

●Specific design characteristics give it a higher center of gravity

than ordinary passenger cars. This vehicle design feature causes

this type of vehicle to be more likely to rollover. And, utility vehicles

have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehi-

cles.

●An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the

road allowing you to anticipate problems.

●It is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordinary

passenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars designed to

perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. Therefore, sharp

turns at excessive speeds may cause rollover.

This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class, which has higher

ground clearance and narrower tread in relation to the height of its

center of gravity to make it capable of performing in a wide variety

of off-road applications.

263

2-5. Driving information

When driving

CAUTION

■Off-road vehicle precautions

Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of death, seri-

ous injury or damage to your vehicle:

●In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die

than a person wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers

should fasten their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving.

●Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all possible.

Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or

vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury.

●Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the vehi-

cle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden

braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or

vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly.

●Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of its profile and higher

center of gravity, your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordi-

nary passenger car. Slowing down will allow you to have better control.

●When driving off-road or in rugged terrain, do not drive at excessive

speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike objects, etc. This may cause loss

of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. You are also

risking expensive damage to your vehicle’s suspension and chassis.

●Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes. Driving straight up or

straight down is preferred. Your vehicle (or any similar off-road vehicle)

can tip over sideways much more easily than forward or backward.

264

2-5. Driving information

Off-road driving

When driving your vehicle off-road, please observe the following pre-

cautions to ensure your driving enjoyment and to help prevent the

closure of areas to off-road vehicles:

●Drive your vehicle only in areas where off-road vehicles are permit-

ted to travel.

●Respect private property. Get owner’s permission before entering

private property.

●Do not enter areas that are closed. Honor gates, barriers and signs

that restrict travel.

●Stay on established roads. When conditions are wet, driving tech-

niques should be changed or travel delayed to prevent damage to

roads.

■Additional information for off-road driving

■Off-road driving precautions

Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of death, seri-

ous injury or damage to your vehicle:

●Drive carefully when off the road. Do not take unnecessary risks by driving

in dangerous places.

●Do not grip the steering wheel spokes when driving off-road. A bad bump

could jerk the wheel and injure your hands. Keep both hands and espe-

cially your thumbs on the outside of the rim.

●Always check your brakes for effectiveness immediately after driving in

sand, mud, water or snow.

●After driving through tall grass, mud, rock, sand, rivers, etc., check that

there is no grass, bush, paper, rags, stone, sand, etc. adhering or trapped

on the underbody. Clear off any such matter from the underbody. If the

vehicle is used with these materials trapped or adhering to the underbody,

a breakdown or fire could occur.

●In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die

than a person wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers

should fasten their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving.

●When driving off-road or in rugged terrain, do not drive at excessive

speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike objects, etc. This may cause loss

of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. You are also

risking expensive damage to your vehicle’s suspension and chassis.

NOTICE

■To prevent water damage

Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the

engine or other components does not occur.

●Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage.

●Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deterioration in shift

quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ulti-

mately damage.

●Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and pre-

mature failure, and may also enter the differentials, transmission and

transfer case, reducing the gear oil’s lubricating qualities.

■When you drive through water

If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check

the depth of the water and the bottom of the riverbed for firmness. Drive

slowly and avoid deep water.

■Inspection after off-road driving

●Sand and mud that has accumulated in brake drums and around brake

discs may affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system compo-

nents.

●Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-road driv-

ing that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or water. For

scheduled maintenance information, refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance

Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.

Cargo and luggage

Take notice of the following information about storage precau-

tions, cargo capacity and load:

●Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever

possible.

●Be sure all items are secured in place.

●To maintain vehicle balance while driving, position luggage

evenly within the luggage compartment.

●For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight.

268

2-5. Driving information

Capacity and distribution

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 vehi-

cle’s placard.

(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers

that will be riding in your vehicle.

(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers 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 passengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail-

able cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 - 750 (5

× 150) = 650 lbs.)

(5) 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 4.

(6) 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. (→P. 610)

269

2-5. Driving information

When driving

Example on your vehicle

Cargo capacity

Total load capacity

When 2 people with the combined weight of 366 lb. (166 kg) are

riding in your vehicle, the available amount of cargo and luggage load

capacity will be as follows:

Without third seats

Total load capacity: 825 lb. (370 kg)

825 lb. - 366 lb. = 459 lb. (370 kg - 166 kg = 204 kg)

With third seats

Total load capacity: 1155 lb. (520 kg)

1155 lb. - 366 lb. = 789 lb. (520 kg - 166 kg = 354 kg)

In this condition, if 3 more passengers with the combined weight of

388 lb. (176 kg) get on, the available cargo and luggage load will be

reduced as follows:

Without third seats

459 lb. - 388 lb. = 71 lb. (204 kg - 176 kg = 28 kg)

With third seats

789 lb. - 388 lb. = 401 lb. (354 kg - 176 kg = 178 kg)

As shown in the example above, if the number of occupants

increases, the cargo and luggage 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 number 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.

270

2-5. Driving information

CAUTION

■Things that must not be carried in the luggage compartment

The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compart-

ment:

●Receptacles containing gasoline

●Aerosol cans

■Storage precautions

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever possi-

ble.

●Do not stack cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment higher

than the seatbacks.

Such items may be thrown about and possibly injure people in the

vehicle in the event of sudden braking or in an accident.

●Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations as the

item may get under the brake or accelerator pedal and prevent the

pedals from being depressed properly, block the driver’s vision, or hit

the driver or passengers, causing an accident:

• At the feet of the driver

• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)

• On the instrument panel

• On the dashboard

●Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and

injure someone in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an

accident.

●When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed

directly behind the front seats.

●Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not

designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat

belts properly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer

death or serious bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking, sudden

swerving or an accident.

271

2-5. Driving information

When driving

CAUTION

■Capacity and distribution

●Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle

weight rating.

●Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less

than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. Improper

loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking control which

may cause death or serious injury.

■Roof luggage carrier precautions

To use the roof rails as a roof luggage carrier, you must fit the roof rails

with two or more genuine Toyota cross rails or their equivalent.

When you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier, observe the following:

●Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof

luggage carrier.

●Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of grav-

ity of the vehicle higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,

sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of

control or vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly

and result in death or serious injury.

●If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop

the vehicle now and then during the trip to make sure the cross rails

are fixed securely and that the cargo remains in its place.

●Do not exceed 120 lb. (54 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.

●Place the cargo so that its weight is

distributed evenly between the front

and rear axles.

●If loading long or wide cargo, never

exceed the vehicle overall length or

width.(→P. 610)

Trailer towing tips

Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer. The 3 main

causes of vehicle-trailer accidents are driver error, excessive speed

and improper trailer loading. Keep the following in mind when towing.

●Before starting out, check the trailer lights and the vehicle-trailer

connections. Recheck after driving a short distance.

●Practice turning, stopping and reversing with the trailer attached in

an area away from traffic until you become accustomed to the feel

of the vehicle.

●Reversing with a trailer attached is difficult and requires practice.

Grip the bottom of the steering wheel and move your hand to the

left to move the trailer to the left. Move your hand to the right to

move the trailer to right. (This is generally opposite to reversing

without a trailer attached.) Avoid sharp or prolonged turning. Have

someone guide you when reversing to reduce the risk of an acci-

dent.

●As stopping distance is increased when towing a trailer, vehicle-to

vehicle distance should be increased. For each 10 mph (16 km/h)

of speed, allow at least one vehicle and trailer length.

●Avoid sudden braking as you may skid, resulting in jackknifing and

loss of control. This is especially true on wet or slippery surfaces.

●Avoid jerky starts or sudden acceleration.

●Avoid jerky steering and sharp turns, and slow down before mak-

ing turns.

287

2-5. Driving information

When driving

●Note that when making a turn, the trailer wheels will be closer than

the vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. Compensate by making

a larger than normal turning radius.

●Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely affect handling of your

vehicle and trailer, causing sway. Periodically check the rear to

prepare for being passed by large trucks or buses, which may

cause your vehicle and trailer to sway. If swaying occurs, firmly grip

the steering wheel, reduce speed immediately but gradually, and

steer straight ahead. Never increase speed. If you make no

extreme correction with the steering or brakes, your vehicle and

trailer will stabilize.

●Take care when passing other vehicles. Passing requires consider-

able distance. After passing a vehicle, do not forget the length of

your trailer, and be sure you have plenty of room before changing

lanes.

●In order to maintain engine braking efficiency when driving on a

long steep downgrade, do not use overdrive. Transmission shift

range position must be in 3 (standard type), or “4”, in the S mode

(multi-mode type).

●Due to the added load of the trailer, your vehicle’s engine may

overheat on hot days (at temperatures over 85°F [30°C] when driv-

ing up a long or steep grade. If the engine coolant temperature

gauge indicates overheating, immediately turn off the air condition-

ing (if in use), pull your vehicle off the road and stop in a safe spot.

(→P. 603)

288

2-5. Driving information

●Always place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and the trailer

wheels when parking. Apply the parking brake firmly, and put the

transmission in P. Avoid parking on a slope, but if unavoidable, do

so only after performing the following:

Apply the brakes and keep them applied.

Have someone place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and

trailer wheels.

When the wheel blocks are in place, release the brakes slowly

until the blocks absorb the load.

Apply the parking brake firmly.

Shift into P and turn off the engine.

●When restarting after parking on a slope:

With the transmission in P, start the engine. Be sure to keep

the brake pedal pressed.

Shift into D or R (if reversing).

Release the parking brake and brake pedal, and slowly pull or

back away from the wheel blocks. Stop and apply the brakes.

Have someone retrieve the blocks.

2-5. Driving information

When driving

■Service connector for towing brake controller

■Before towing

Check that the following conditions are met:

●The vehicle’s tires are properly inflated.

●Trailer tires are inflated according to the trailer manufacturer’s recom-

mendation.

●All trailer lights work.

●All lights work each time you connect them.

●The trailer ball is set up at the proper height for the coupler on the trailer.

●The vehicle remains level when a loaded or unloaded trailer is hitched.

Do not drive if the vehicle is not level, and check for improper tongue

load, overloading, worn suspension, or other possible causes.

●The trailer cargo is securely loaded.

●The rear view mirrors conform to all applicable federal, state/provincial or

local regulations. If they do not, install rear view mirrors appropriate for

towing purposes.

■Break-in schedule

If your vehicle is new or equipped with any new power train components

(such as an engine, transmission, differential and wheel bearing), Toyota

recommends that you do not tow a trailer until it has been driven for over 500

miles (800 km).

However, avoid full throttle acceleration.

Your vehicle is equipped with a service

connector for the trailer brake controller

as shown.

CTH25AS008

290

2-5. Driving information

■Maintenance

●If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will require more frequent maintenance

due to the additional load. (See “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or

“Owner’s Manual Supplement”.)

●Retighten the fixing bolts of the towing ball and bracket after approxi-

mately 600 miles (1000 km) of trailer towing.

CAUTION

■Trailer towing precautions

●Follow all the instructions described in this section. Failure to do so could

cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

●Exceeding the towing capacity, GVWR, GCWR and GAWR can cause an

accident resulting in death or serious personal injuries.

■To avoid accident or injury

●Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) or the posted towing speed limit, which-

ever is lower. As instability (swaying) of the towing vehicle-trailer combina-

tion increases as speed increases, exceeding 45 mph (72 km/h) may

cause loss of control.

●Slow down and downshift before descending steep or long downhill

grades. Do not make sudden downshifts.

●Do not exceed the trailer hitch assembly weight, gross vehicle weight,

gross axle weight and trailer tongue load capacities.

●Never load more weight in the back than in the front of the trailer. About

60% of the load should be in the front half of the trailer, and the remaining

40% in the rear.

●Do not use cruise control when you are towing.

●Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or applying the brakes too

frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat and result in reduced

braking efficiency.

291

2-5. Driving information

When driving

CAUTION

■Hitches

●If you wish to install a trailer hitch, contact your Toyota dealer.

●Use only a hitch that conforms to the gross trailer weight requirement.

●Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer.

●Lubricate the hitch ball with a light coat of grease.

●Remove the trailer hitch whenever you are not towing a trailer. After

removing the hitch, seal any mounting hole in the vehicle body to prevent

entry of any substances into the vehicle.

■When towing a trailer

●If the gross trailer weight exceeds 1000 lb. (453 kg), trailer brakes are

required. Toyota recommends trailers with brakes that conform to all appli-

cable federal and state/provincial regulations.

●Never tap into your vehicle’s hydraulic system, as this will lower the vehi-

cle’s braking effectiveness.

●Never tow a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both

the trailer and the vehicle. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch

ball, there is a risk of the trailer wandering into another lane.

292

2-5. Driving information

NOTICE

■When installing a trailer hitch

●Use only the position recommended by your Toyota dealer. Do not install

the trailer hitch on the bumper; this may cause body damage.

●Do not use axle-mounted hitches, as they can cause damage to the axle

housing, wheel bearings, wheels or tires.

■Safety chain

A safety chain must always be used between the towing vehicle and the

trailer. Leave sufficient slack in the chain for turns. The chain should cross

under the trailer tongue to prevent the tongue from dropping to the ground in

the case that it becomes damaged or separated. For the correct safety chain

installation procedure, ask your Toyota dealer.

■Do not directly splice trailer lights

Directly splicing trailer lights may damage your vehicle’s electrical system

and cause a malfunction.

■MP3 and WMA files

MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER3) is a standard audio compression format.

Files can be compressed to approximately 1/10 of their original size by using

MP3 compression.

WMA (Windows Media TM Audio) is a Microsoft audio compression format.

This format compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of the MP3

format.

There is a limit to the MP3 and WMA file standards that can be used and to

the media/formats on which the files are recorded.

●MP3 file compatibility

• Compatible standards

MP3 (MPEG1 LAYER3, MPEG2 LSF LAYER3)

• Compatible sampling frequencies

MPEG1 LAYER3: 32, 44.1, 48 (kHz)

Interior features

●Compatible media

Media that can be used for MP3 and WMA playback are CD-Rs and CD-

RWs.

Playback in some instances may not be possible if the CD-R or CD-RW is

not finalized. Playback may not be possible or the audio may jump if the

disc is scratched or marked with fingerprints.

●Compatible disc formats

The following disc formats can be used.

• Disc formats: CD-ROM Mode 1 and Mode 2

CD-ROM XA Mode 2, Form 1 and Form 2

• File formats: ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2, (Romeo, Joliet)

MP3 and WMA files written in any format other than those listed above

may not play correctly, and their file names and folder names may not

be displayed correctly.

Items related to standards and limitations are as follows.

• Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels

• Maximum length of folder names/file names: 32 characters

• Maximum number of folders: 192 (including the root)

• Maximum number of files per disc: 255

●File names

The only files that can be recognized as MP3/WMA and played are those

with the extension .mp3 or .wma.

●Multi-sessions

As the audio system is compatible with multi-sessions, it is possible to play

discs that contain MP3 and WMA files. However, only the first session can

be played.

●ID3 and WMA tags

ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, making it possible to record the track

title, artist name, etc.

The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3 ID3 tags.

(The number of characters is based on ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.)

WMA tags can be added to WMA files, making it possible to record the

track title and artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags.

340

3-2. Using the audio system

●MP3 and WMA playback

When a disc containing MP3 or WMA files is inserted, all files on the disc

are first checked. Once the file check is finished, the first MP3 or WMA file

is played. To make the file check finish more quickly, we recommend you

do not write in any files other than MP3 or WMA files or create any unnec-

essary folders.

If the discs contain a mixture of music data and MP3 or WMA format data,

only music data can be played.

●Extensions

If the file extensions .mp3 and .wma are used for files other than MP3 and

WMA files, they will be mistakenly recognized and played as MP3 and

WMA files. This may result in large amounts of interference and damage

to the speakers.

●Playback

• To play MP3 files with steady sound quality, we recommend a fixed bit

rate of at least 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

• CD-R or CD-RW playback may not be possible in some instances,

depending on the characteristics of the disc.

• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for

MP3 and WMA files on the market, and depending on the status of the

encoding and the file format, poor sound quality or noise at the start of

playback may result. In some cases, playback may not be possible at

all.

• When files other than MP3 or WMA files are recorded on a disc, it may

take more time to recognize the disc. In some cases, playback may not

be possible at all.

• Microsoft, Windows, and Windows Media are the registered trade-

marks of Microsoft Corporation in the U.S. and other countries.
