Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and may cause one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also the parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
●If the power brake assist function does not operate, do not follow other
vehicles closely and avoid downhills or sharp turns that require braking. In this case, braking is still possible, but it will require more force on the pedal than usual. Braking distance may also increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.
●Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted brakes.
●The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems: If one of the systems fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and braking distance becomes longer. Have your brakes fixed immediately.

2-1. Driving procedures
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving, as this may restrain driving torque.
●Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
■When parking the vehicle
Always put the shift lever in P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle may acceler- ate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for a
long time. Doing so may damage the power steering pump.
●When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.
■If you hear a squealing or scraping noise while driving (brake pad wear
limit indicators) Have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. The rotor damage can result if the pads are not replaced when needed. It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads and/or that of the brake discs are exceeded.
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually press the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle. ●It may be difficult to control your vehicle. ●The vehicle will make abnormal sounds. ●The vehicle will behave abnormally. Replace a flat tire with a new one. (P. 486)

■When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may cause the following serious damage to the vehicle. ●Engine stalling ●Short in electrical components ●Engine damage caused by water immersion In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be sure to have your Toyota dealer check the following. ●Brake function ●Changes in quantity and quality of oil and fluid used for the engine, trans-
mission, transfer (4WD models), differentials, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the propeller shaft, bearings and suspension joints
(where possible) and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.

LOCK The steering wheel is locked and the key can be removed. (The key can be removed only when the shift lever is in P.) ACC Some electrical components such as the audio system can be used. ON All electrical components can be used. START For starting the engine.
■ Starting the engine
Check that the parking brake is set. Check that the shift lever is set in P. Sit in the driver’s seat and firmly depress the brake pedal. Turn the engine switch to the START position and start the engine. The engine will crank until it starts or for up to 25 seconds, which- ever is less. If you turn the engine switch, the engine will keep cranking for about 30 seconds maximum. Continue depressing the brake pedal until the engine is com- pletely started.

2-1. Driving procedures
Shift the shift lever to P. (P. 161) Push in the key and turn to the LOCK position.
■Steering lock release
When starting the engine, the engine switch may seem stuck in the LOCK posi- tion. To free it, turn the key while turning the steering wheel slightly in either direc- tion.
■If the engine does not start
The engine immobilizer system may not have been deactivated. (P. 105)
■Key reminder function
A buzzer sounds if the driver’s door is opened, while the engine switch is in the ACC or LOCK position to remind you to remove the key.
CAUTION
■When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the accelerator while starting the engine under any circumstances. Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■Caution while driving
Do not turn the engine switch to the LOCK position. If in an emergency, you must turn the engine off while the vehicle is moving, turn the engine switch only to the ACC position.

■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the engine switch in the ACC or ON position for long periods if the engine is not running. ■When starting the engine
●Do not crank for more than 30 seconds at a time. This may overheat the
starter and wiring systems. ●Do not race a cold engine. ●If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have the engine
checked immediately.

■Transmission protection function
If the tires spin continually when the vehicle becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow, the automatic transmission temperature may become too high and cause damage. To avoid the damaging the automatic transmission, the system may tempo- rarily lock the gear in 1st. If the automatic transmission temperature falls, the gear locking is canceled and returns the automatic transmission to the normal operation.

Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
This mode employs a laser radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to approximately 400 ft. (120 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to main- tain a suitable following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill slopes.
