If the camera lens is scratched, it cannot transmit a clear image. • Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible. • If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally. • When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunc- tioning. • When the camera is used under fluorescent lights, sodium light or mer- cury light etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker. ●Do not expose the camera to strong impact as this could cause a malfunc- tion. If this happens, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. COROLLA_TMMMS_TMMC_U (OM12F00U) 4-5. Using the driving support systems 211 Driving assist systems To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following systems operate automatically in response to various driving situations. Be aware, however, that these systems are supple- mentary and should not be relied upon too heavily when operat- ing 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 spinning 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 COROLLA_TMMMS_TMMC_U (OM12F00U) 212 4-5. Using the driving support systems When the TRAC or VSC system is operating The slip indicator light will flash while the TRAC or VSC system is operating. Disabling the TRAC system If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or snow, the TRAC system may reduce power from the engine to the wheels. Pressing to turn the system off may make it easier for you to rock the vehicle in order to free it. To turn the TRAC system off, quickly press and release The “TRAC OFF” indicator light will come on. again to turn the system Press back on. COROLLA_TMMMS_TMMC_U (OM12F00U) 4-5.

The “TRAC OFF” indicator light and VSC OFF indicator light will come on. for more than 3 Press again to turn the systems back on. ■When the “TRAC OFF” indicator light comes on even if the VSC OFF switch has not been pressed TRAC cannot be operated. Contact your Toyota dealer. ■Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, TRAC and VSC systems ●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 indicate 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. ■Automatic reactivation of TRAC and VSC systems After turning the TRAC and VSC systems off, the systems will be automati- cally re-enabled in the following situations: ●Vehicles without a smart key system: When the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position Vehicles with a smart key system: When the engine switch is turned off ●If only the TRAC system is turned off, the TRAC will turn on when vehicle speed increases If both the TRAC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic re-enabling will not occur 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. COROLLA_TMMMS_TMMC_U (OM12F00U) 214 4-5. Using the driving support systems CAUTION ■The ABS does not operate effectively when ●The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as excessively worn tires on a snow covered road). ●The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick roads. ■Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor- mal conditions The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the following situations: ●When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads ●When driving with tire chains ●When driving over bumps in the road ●When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces ■TRAC may not operate effectively when Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip- pery road surfaces, even if the TRAC system is operating. Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions where stability and power may be lost. ■When the VSC is activated The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes. ■When the TRAC or VSC system is turned off Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi- tions. As these are the systems help ensure vehicle stability and driving force, do not turn the TRAC or VSC system off unless necessary. COROLLA_TMMMS_TMMC_U (OM12F00U) 4-5. Using the driving support systems 215 CAUTION ■Replacing tires Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire inflation pressure level. The ABS, TRAC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires are installed on the vehicle. Contact your Toyota dealer for further information when replacing tires or wheels. ■Handling of tires and the suspension Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.

Always drive the vehicle in a man- ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions. Preparation for winter ● Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera- tures. • Engine oil • Engine coolant • Washer fluid ● Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery. ● 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. ● Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu- mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the tires or on the brakes. ● Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before getting in the vehicle.

Driving tips 217 When driving the vehicle Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road con- ditions. When parking the vehicle Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P (automatic transmission or continuously variable transmission), 1 or R (manual transmission) without setting the parking brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released. If necessary, block the wheels to prevent inadvertent sliding or creeping. Selecting tire chains  Vehicles with 15-inch tires Use the tire chains of correct size and type. Use SAE Class “S” type radial tire chains except radial cable chains or V-bar type chains.  Vehicles with 16-inch and 17-inch tires Use the correct tire chain size when mounting the snow chains. Chain size is regulated for each tire size. 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 depending on loca- tion and type of road. Always check local regulations before installing chains. COROLLA_TMMMS_TMMC_U (OM12F00U) 218 4-6. Driving tips ■Tire chain installation Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains: ●Install and remove tire chains in a safe location. ●Install tire chains on the front tires. Do not install tire chains on the rear tires. ●Install tire chains on front tires as tightly as possible. Retighten chains after driving 1/4  1/2 mile (0.5  1.0 km). ●Install tire chains following the instructions provided with the tire chains. CAUTION ■Driving with snow tires Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents. 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 acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting operations that cause sudden engine braking. ●Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle con- trol is maintained. NOTICE ■Repairing or replacing snow tires (vehicles with a tire pressure warn- ing system) Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from Toyota dealers or legiti- mate tire retailers. This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the opera- tion of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters. ■Fitting tire chains (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function correctly when tire chains are fitted.
