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. n 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.
n Brake Assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is depressed, when the system detects a panic stop situation.
n Enhanced VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) (If equipped)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on slippery road surfaces.
n EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn the steering wheel.
When the Enhanced VSC is operating
If the vehicle is in danger of slip- ping or the front wheels spin, the indicator flashes to indicate that the Enhanced VSC have been engaged.
A buzzer (intermittent) sounds to indicate that Enhanced VSC is operating. The slip indicator light flashes as well when ABS is operating.

n Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist and Enhanced
VSC l A sound may be heard from the hybrid system compartment when the hybrid system 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.
l 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.
n Reduced effectiveness of EPS
The effectiveness of EPS 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 hybrid system OFF. The system should return to normal within 10 minutes.

2-5. Driving information Cargo and luggage
Take notice of the following information about storage precau- tions, cargo capacity and load.
l Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment when-
ever possible. Be sure all items are secured in place.
l Be careful to keep the vehicle level. Placing the weight as far
forward as possible helps maintain vehicle balance.
l 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 vehi- cle’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
luggage 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 avail-
able 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 available cargo and lug- gage load capacity calculated in Step 4.

(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. 172) Toyota does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed for trailer towing.
Example 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 810 lb. (365
kg), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be
as follows:
810 lb. — 366 lb. = 444 lb. (365 kg — 166 kg = 199 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:
444 lb. — 388 lb. = 56 lb. (199 kg — 176 kg = 23 kg) As shown in the above example, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo and luggage load equaling the combined weight of the occupants who got on later, by an amount. 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.

CAUTION
n Storage precautions
l Do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the
seatbacks. Such items may be thrown about and possibly injure people in the vehicle during sudden braking or in an accident.
l Do not place anything on the luggage cover.
Such items may be thrown about and possibly injure people in the vehicle during sudden braking or in an accident.
l Do not drive with objects on top of the instrument panel.
They may interfere with the driver’s field of view or move during sharp acceleration or turning, thus impairing the driver’s control of the vehi- cle. In an accident they may injure the vehicle occupants.
l Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and
injure someone during an accident or sudden braking.
l Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts properly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer death or serious injury, in the event of sudden braking or a collision.
n Weight of the load
Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking con- trol resulting in an accident which may cause death or serious injury.
l Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle
weight rating.
l 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 control which may cause death or serious injury.
