BEFORE DRIVING Safety information Safety information SEATBELT PRETENSIONERS The driver and front passenger seatbelt pretensioners are designed to be activated in response to a severe frontal impact. When the sensor detects a severe frontal impact, the front seatbelts are quickly drawn back by the retractors so the belts snugly restrain the occupants.
Page 72
Consult your Toyota dealer about any repair and modification. NOTICE Do not perform any of the following changes without consulting your Toyota dealer. Such changes can interfere with correct operation of the seatbelt pretensioners in some cases. • Installation of electronic devices such as a mobile two-way radio, cassette tape player or compact disc player.

Cruising speed can be set to any speed above 40 km/h. Within the limits of the engine’s capabilities, cruising speed can be maintained up or down grades.
Page 126
To turn the cruise control off, press the “ON–OFF” button. Make sure the cruise control indicator light is off. If the cruise control automatically cancels out other than for the above cases, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer at the earliest opportunity.
Page 127
If the cruise control indicator light flashes when using the cruise control, press the “ON– OFF” button to turn the system off and then press it again to turn it on. Contact your Toyota dealer if any of these conditions then occurs: • The indicator light does not come on.
When you turn on the parking assist-sensor, the indicator light on the switch comes on and a beep sounds for one second, indicating the parking assist-sensor is turned on. If an error is detected in the Toyota parking assist-sensor while self-checking, beeps sound intermittently for about 8 seconds.
Page 129
However, the detection distance of a thin obstacle, such as a pole, is less than 150 cm. The sensor detection range is limited around the bumper. Always confirm a safe distance around your vehicle and drive slowly. The Toyota parking assist-sensor may not work correctly in the following cases: • When the bumper is damaged. • When the part near the sensors is subjected to a strong impact.
• An object just under the bumper may not be detected. Although an object lower than the location of sensors is once detected, the detection might be stopped when your vehicle gets closer to the object. • When an obstacle is very close to the sensors. The Toyota parking assist-sensor may not detect the following: • Thin objects such as wire or rope. • Sound wave absorbing objects such as cotton or snow. • Objects with a sharp edge. • Tall objects with the upper part projected.

WHEN DRIVING Using other driving systems Area displayed on screen Image is displayed approximately level on screen. • The area detected by the camera is limited. The camera does not detect objects which are close to either corner of the bumper or under the bumper. • The area displayed on the screen may vary according to vehicle orientation or road conditions.
WHEN DRIVING Using other driving systems • When foreign matter (for example, snow or mud) is adhering to the camera. • When the sun or the beam of headlights is shining directly into the camera lens. • When the camera has scratches or dirt on it. If a bright light (for example, sunlight reflected off the vehicle body) is picked up by the camera, the smear effect* peculiar to the camera may occur. * Smear effect—A phenomenon that occurs when a bright light (for example, sunlight reflected off the vehicle body) is picked up by the camera;...

If you use tyres other than those specified, the vehicle stability control system may not function correctly. When replacing tyres or wheels, contact your Toyota dealer. Refer to “Checking and replacing tyres” on page 291.
Just a basic familiarity with your vehicle is required and a careful eye! Or, if you would like, your Toyota dealer will be pleased to make this check for you at a nominal cost.
If you do not feel a normal braking force, the brakes are probably wet. To dry them, drive the vehicle cautiously while lightly pressing the brake pedal with the parking brake applied. If they still do not work safely, pull to the side of the road and call a Toyota dealer for assistance.
(Coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids.) Refer to “Checking the engine coolant level” on page 271 for details of coolant type selection. “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deionised water. This coolant provides protection down to about –35˚C (–31˚F). NOTICE Do not use plain or tap water alone as it may freeze in cold temperatures.
Refer to “Engine oil selection” on page 269 for recommended viscosity. Leaving a heavy summer oil in your vehicle during winter months may cause harder starting. If you are not sure about which oil to use, call your Toyota dealer—they will be pleased to help. Keep the door locks from freezing Squirt lock de-icer or glycerine into the locks to keep them from freezing.

WHEN DRIVING Driving Information Weight limits Before towing, make sure the total trailer weight, gross vehicle weight, gross axle weight and vertical tow ball load are all within the specified limits. The total trailer weight and vertical tow ball load can be measured with platform scales which are located at such places as a public weighbridge.
Page 141
Lubricate the tow ball with a light coat of grease. • If removing the tow bar assembly, seal any mounting holes in the vehicle body to prevent entry of pollutants such as exhaust fumes, dirt or water. Brakes and safety chains • Toyota recommends trailers with brakes conform to applicable federal and state regulations. • Safety chains must always be used between the towing vehicle and the trailer. • Leave sufficient slack in the chains for turns. • The chains should cross under the trailer coupling to prevent the trailer coupling from dropping to the ground in case it becomes damaged or the trailer separates from the vehicle.
Page 142
Trailer lights • Trailer lights must comply with federal and state regulations. See your Toyota dealer for the correct type of wiring and relays for your trailer. Check for correct operation of the turn signals and stop lights each time you attach the trailer. Direct splicing may damage your vehicle’s electrical system and cause a malfunction of your lights.
Page 143
WHEN DRIVING Driving Information • Backing with a trailer 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 the right. (This procedure is generally opposite to that when backing without a trailer.) Also, just turn the steering wheel a little at a time, avoiding sharp or prolonged turning.
WHEN DRIVING Driving Information • Always place wheel chocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Apply the parking brake firmly. Put the transmission in “P” (automatic) or in first or reverse (manual). Avoid parking on a slope with a trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so only after performing the following: 1 .
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise while driving, have the brake pads checked and replaced by your nearest Toyota dealer immediately. NOTICE Continuous driving without replacing the brake pads will cause expensive rotor damage and increasing brake pedal effort to get the same stopping distance.
WHEN DRIVING Driving Information SUSPENSION AND CHASSIS CAUTION Do not modify the suspension/chassis with lift kits, spacers, springs, etc. It can cause dangerous vehicle handling characteristics, resulting in loss of control.
