2-4. Using other driving systems Driving assist systems


To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys- tems operate automatically in response to various driving situations. Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle. ■ ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)


Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface.


■ Brake assist


Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation.


■ VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)


Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on slippery road surfaces.


■ TRAC (Traction Control)


Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from spin- ning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.


■ EPS (Electric Power Steering)


Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn the steering wheel.


■ BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) (if equipped)

■Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC and


TRAC ●A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indi- cate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.


●Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are


operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred. • Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering. • A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop. • The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the ABS is activated. • The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.


■EPS operation sound


When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.


■Reactivation of the TRAC /VSC systems after turning off the engine


Turning off the engine after turning off the TRAC/VSC systems will automati- cally reactivate them.


■Reactivation of the TRAC system linked to vehicle speed


When only the TRAC system is turned off, the TRAC system will turn on when vehicle speed increases. However, when both TRAC and VSC sys- tems are turned off, the systems will not turn on even when vehicle speed increases.


■Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system


The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the engine off. The EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes.

2-4. Using other driving systems BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)∗


The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that assists the driver in making the decision to change lanes. The system uses radar sensors to detect vehicles that are traveling in an adjacent lane in the area that is not reflected in the outside rear view mirror (the blind spot), and advises the driver of the vehicles existence via the outside rear view mirror indicator.


BSM main switch Pressing the switch turns the system on or off. When the switch is set to on, the switch’s indicator illuminates. Outside rear view mirror indicator When a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, the outside rear view mir- ror indicator on that side illuminates. If the turn signal lever is operated when a vehicle is in the blind spot, the outside rear view mirror indicator flashes.

2-4. Using other driving systems


CAUTION


■Cautions regarding the use of the system


The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your surroundings. The Blind Spot Monitor is a supplementary system which alerts the driver that a vehicle is present in the blind spot. Do not overly rely on the Blind Spot Monitor. The system cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, therefore over reliance could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury. Accord- ing to conditions, the system may not function correctly. Therefore the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.


■Handling the radar sensor


One Blind Spot Monitor is installed inside the left and right side of the vehicle rear bumper respectively. Observe the following to ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can function correctly.


●Keep the sensor and its surrounding


area on the bumper clean at all times.


●Do not subject the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper to a strong impact. If the sensor moves even slightly off position, the system may mal- function and vehicles that enter the detection area may not be detected. If the sensor or surrounding area is subject to a strong impact, always have the area inspected by your Toyota dealer.


●Do not disassemble the sensor. ●Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor or surrounding area on


the bumper.


●Do not modify the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper. ●Do not paint the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper.


212


2-5. Driving information Cargo and luggage


Take notice of the following information about storage precau- tions, cargo capacity and load: ● Stow cargo and luggage in the trunk 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.


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 vehicle'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 lug-


gage 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 available 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 avail- able cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.


213


2-5. Driving information


(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. 466) Toyota does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed for trailer towing.


Example based 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, which has a total load capacity of 905 lb. (410
kg), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be as follows: 905 lb. - 366 lb. = 539 lb. (410 kg -166 kg = 244 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:


539 lb. - 388 lb. = 151 lb. (244 kg - 176 kg = 68 kg) As shown in the above example, 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.


214

2-5. Driving information


CAUTION


■Things that must not be carried in the trunk


The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the trunk: ●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 trunk whenever possible. ●To prevent cargo and luggage from sliding forward during braking, do not stack anything in the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo and luggage low, as close to the floor as possible.


●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 enlarged trunk. It is not designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts prop- erly 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.


●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 package tray • On the instrument panel • On the dashboard


●Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and injure someone during sudden braking, sudden swerving or an acci- dent.


215


2-5. Driving information


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 con- trol which may cause death or serious injury.


216


2-5. Driving information Vehicle load limits


Vehicle load limits include total load capacity, seating capacity, towing capacity and cargo capacity. ■ Total load capacity: 905 lb. (410 kg)


Total load capacity means the combined weight of occupants, cargo and luggage.


■ Seating capacity: 5 occupants (Front 2, Rear 3)


Seating capacity means the maximum number of occupants whose estimated average weight is 150 lb. (68 kg) per person.


■ Towing capacity


Toyota does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle.


■ Cargo capacity


Cargo capacity may increase or decrease depending on the weight and the number of occupants.


■Total load capacity and seating capacity


These details are also described on the tire and loading information label. (→P. 375)


CAUTION


■Overloading the vehicle


Do not overload the vehicle. It may not only cause damage to the tires, but also degrade steering and braking ability, resulting in an accident.


217


2-5. Driving information Winter driving tips


Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropri- ate to the prevailing weather conditions. ■ Pre-winter preparations


● Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tem-


peratures. • Engine oil • Engine coolant • Washer fluid


● Have a service technician inspect the level and specific grav-


ity of battery electrolyte.


● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set


of tire chains for the front tires. Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match the size of the tires. ■ Before driving the vehicle


Perform the following according to the driving conditions: ● Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away the water immediately to prevent it from freezing. ● To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan, remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the windshield.


● Remove any ice that has accumulated on the vehicle chassis. ● Periodically check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumulated in the wheel well or on the brakes.

Side chain:


0.12 in. (3 mm) in diameter 0.39 in. (10 mm) in width 1.18 in. (30 mm) in length


Cross chain:


0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter 0.55 in. (14 mm) in width 0.98 in. (25 mm) in length


Regulations on the use of tire chains


Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary according to loca- tion and type of road. Always check local regulations before installing chains.

Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or serious injury. ●Use tires of the size specified. ●Maintain the recommended level of air pressure. ●Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120 km/h), regardless of the type of


snow tires being used.


●Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.


■Driving with tire chains


Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents. Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely, and may cause death or serious injury. ●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being


used, or 30 mph (50 km/h), whichever is lower.


●Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes. ●Avoid sudden turns and braking, as use of chains may adversely affect


vehicle handling.


●Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle con-


trol is maintained.
