2-4. Using other driving systems Pre-Collision System∗

Safety systems such as the brakes and seat belts are automati- cally engaged to lessen impact and injuries to occupants as well as vehicle damage when the radar sensor detects an unavoidable frontal collision. ■ Pre-collision seat belts

If the pre-collision sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the pre-collision system will retract the seat belt before the colli- sion occurs. The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or loses control of the vehicle. (→P. 86)

■ Pre-collision brake assist

When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

■ Pre-collision braking

When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system warns the driver using a warning light, warning display and buzzer. If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, the brakes are automatically applied to reduce the collision speed. Pre-collision braking can be disabled using the pre-colli- sion braking off button.

CAUTION

■Handling the radar sensor

Observe the following to ensure the pre-collision system can function effec- tively. ●Keep the sensor and grille cover clean at all time.

Clean the sensor and grille cover with a soft cloth so you do not mark or damage them.

●Do not subject the sensor or surrounding area to a strong impact.

If the sensor moves even slightly off position, the system may malfunction. If the sensor or surrounding area is subject to a strong impact, always have the area inspected and adjusted by your Toyota dealer.

●Do not disassemble the sensor. ●Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor, grille cover or sur-

rounding area.

●Do not modify or paint the sensor and grille cover.

■Limitations of the pre-collision system

254

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 luggage compartment when-

ever possible. Be sure all items are secured in place.

● Be careful to keep the vehicle level. Placing the weight as far

forward as possible helps maintain vehicle balance.

● For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight.

255

2-5. Driving information

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

(6)

loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and lug- gage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 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. 260) Toyota does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed for trailer towing.

256

2-5. Driving information

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 825 lb. (370 kg), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be as follows: 825 lb. — 366 lb. = 459 lb. (370 kg — 166 kg = 204 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:

459 lb. — 388 lb. = 71 lb. (204 kg — 176 kg = 28 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.

257

2-5. Driving information

CAUTION

■Things that must not be carried in the luggage compartment

The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compart- ment. ●Receptacles containing gasoline ●Aerosol cans

■Storage precautions

Observe the following precautions. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury. ●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. • Driver’s feet • Front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items) • Luggage cover (if equipped) • Instrument panel • Dashboard • Auxiliary box or tray that has no lid

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

●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, sudden swerv- ing or an accident.

258

2-5. Driving information

CAUTION

■Weight of the load

●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 control which may cause death or serious injury.

259

2-5. Driving information Vehicle load limits

Vehicle load limits include total load capacity, seating capacity, towing capacity and cargo capacity. ■ Total load capacity: 825 lb. (370 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. Even if the number of occupants are within the seating capacity, do not exceed the total load capacity.

■ 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. 451)

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.

260

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/power control unit coolant • Washer fluid

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

ity of 12 volt 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.

261

2-5. Driving information

■ 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.

■ When driving the vehicle

Accelerate the vehicle slowly and drive at a reduced speed suit- able to road conditions.

■ When parking the vehicle

Park the vehicle and push the “P” position switch 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.

This air conditioning system adopts plasmacluster technology, which helps to keep good air quality in the cabin by emitting positive and negative ions through the driver’s side vent. A slight noise may be heard during operation. This is not a malfunction. Also, static electricity may be discharged near the driver’s side vent due to the high voltage used to operate the system. To clean the driver’s side vent, turn the system off and wipe the vent using a soft cloth. *:Plasmacluster technology is manufactured under license from the SHARP Corporation. “Plasmacluster™” is a trademark of the SHARP Corporation.

■Air conditioning odors

●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to be emitted from the vents.

●To reduce potential odors from occurring:

• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air

mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
