2-1. Driving procedures
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.
Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
■
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. (→P. 544)
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, allowing 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 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. This may
cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
Do not let the vehicle roll backwards while the shift lever is in a driving
●
position, 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, result-
ing in an accident or damage to the vehicle.
