NOTICE
■
When driving the vehicle
●
Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving, as this may restrain driving torque.
●
On vehicles with automatic transmission, do not use the accelerator pedal
or depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time to hold the
vehicle on a hill.
●
On vehicles with manual transmission, 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, transmission and gears.
●
On vehicles with manual transmission, observe the following to prevent
the clutch from being damaged.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving.
Doing so may cause clutch trouble.
• Do not use any gear other than the 1st gear when starting off and mov-
ing forward.
Doing so may damage the clutch.
• Do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopping on an uphill
grade.
Doing so may damage the clutch.
●
On vehicles with manual transmission, do not shift the shift lever to R
when the vehicle is still moving. Doing so may damage the clutch, trans-
mission and gears.
●
On vehicles with manual transmission, if you cannot accelerate the vehicle
even when the clutch is engaged and the accelerator pedal is depressed,
this may mean that the clutch is slipping, and the vehicle may be rendered
undriveable. Have your Toyota dealer inspect the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible.
