Page 236: (Pre-Collision System)
4-5. Using the driving support systems PCS (Pre-Collision System) The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and camera sen- sor to detect vehicles and pedestrians in front of your vehicle. When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal col- lision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action and the potential brake pressure is increased to help the driver avoid the collision.
Page 237 4-5. Using the driving support systems WARNING ■ Limitations of the pre-collision system ● The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your surroundings. Do not use the pre-collision system instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances.

Driving tips Hybrid vehicle driving tips For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the fol- lowing points: ◆ Using Eco drive mode When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accel- erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly than it is in normal conditions.
Page 325 4-6. Driving tips ◆ When braking Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in a timely manner. A greater amount of electrical energy can be regenerated when slow- ing down. ◆ Delays Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at traffic lights, will lead to bad fuel economy.
Page 326 4-6. Driving tips ◆ Luggage Carrying heavy luggage will lead to poor fuel economy. Avoid carry- ing unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack will also cause poor fuel economy. ◆ Warming up before driving Since the gasoline engine starts up and cuts out automatically when cold, warming up the engine is unnecessary.

Tire rotation Rotate the tires in the order shown. To equalize tire wear and extend tire life, Toyota recommends that tire rotation is carried out at the same interval as tire inspection. Front Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure warning system after tire rotation.
Page 416 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance Tire pressure warning system Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses tire pressure warning valve and transmitters to detect low tire inflation pressure before serious problems arise. ● The tire pressure detected by the tire pressure warning sys- tem can be displayed on the multi-information display.
Page 417 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance ◆ Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters When replacing the tires or wheels, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters must be installed to the wheels which will be installed to the vehicle. When new tire pressure warning valve and transmitters are installed, new ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer and the tire pressure warning system must be initialized.
Page 418 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance Select “Set Pressure” then press and hold until the tire pressure warning light blinks 3 times. Then a message will be dis- played on the multi-information display. “---” will be displayed on the multi-information display for the inflation pressure of each tire while initialization is being performed.
Page 419 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance ◆ Registering ID codes Every tire pressure warning valve and transmitter has a unique ID code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, it is necessary to register the ID codes. The ID codes can be registered on of the multi-information dis- play.
Page 420 ● A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer. ■ Replacing tires and wheels If the ID codes of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters are not registered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly.
Page 421 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance ■ Tire types ● Summer tires Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow-covered or icy roads.
Page 422 ● In the following situations, the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly. • If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used. • If a tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equipment) tire. • If a tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
Page 423 1 minute and then illuminates. ● If initialization cannot be completed after performing the above proce- dure, contact your Toyota dealer. ■ When registering ID codes ● Before performing ID code registration, make sure that no wheels with tire pressure warning valve and transmitters installed are near the vehi- cle.
Page 424 • If, when the vehicle has been driven for about 20 minutes after per- forming ID code registration, the tire pressure warning light blinks for approximately 1 minute and then illuminates. ● If ID code registration cannot be completed after performing the above procedure, contact your Toyota dealer.
Page 425 Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns. Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear. ● Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota. ● Do not mix differently constructed tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply tires).
Page 426 When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the tire.

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance Tire inflation pressure Tire inflation pressure The recommended cold tire infla- tion pressure and tire size are dis- played on the tire and loading information label. (P. 504)
Page 428 Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following: ● Reduced fuel economy ● Reduced driving comfort and poor handling ● Reduced tire life due to wear ● Reduced safety ● Damage to the drivetrain If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.
Page 429 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance ■ Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following: ● Check only when the tires are cold. If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
Page 430: Wheels
● Used wheels ● Bent wheels that have been straightened Aluminum wheel precautions ● Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with your aluminum wheels. ● When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
Page 431 Because tire repair or replacement may affect the tire pressure warn- ing valve and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop. In addition, make sure to purchase your tire pressure warning valve and transmitters at your Toyota dealer.
