WARNING

■

The information display at

low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to

warm up before using the liquid

crystal information display. At

extremely low temperatures, the

information display monitor may

respond slowly, and display

changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag

between the driver’s shifting and

the new gear number appearing

on the display. This lag could

cause the driver to downshift

again, causing rapid and exces-

sive engine braking and possibly

an accident resulting in death or

injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the

engine and its components

●

Do not let the indicator needle

of the tachometer enter the red

zone, which indicates the maxi-

mum engine speed.

●

The engine may be overheating

if the engine coolant tempera-

ture gauge is in the red zone

(H). In this case, immediately

stop the vehicle in a safe place,

and check the engine after it

has cooled completely.

When riding in an aircraft

When bringing an electronic key
onto an aircraft, make sure you do
not press any buttons on the elec-
tronic key while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying an elec-
tronic key in your bag, etc., ensure
that the buttons are not likely to be
pressed accidentally. Pressing a
button may cause the electronic key
to emit radio waves that could inter-
fere with the operation of the air-
craft.

Electronic key battery depletion

●

The standard battery life is 1 to 2
years.

●

If the battery becomes low, an
alarm will sound in the cabin and a
message will be shown on the
multi-information display when the
engine is stopped.

●

To reduce key battery depletion
when the electronic key is to not
be used for long periods of time,
set the electronic key to the bat-
tery-saving mode. (



P.109)

●

As the electronic key always
receives radio waves, the battery
will become depleted even if the
electronic key is not used. The fol-
lowing symptoms indicate that the
electronic key battery may be
depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary. (



P.456)

• The smart key system or the wire-

less remote control does not oper-
ate.

• The detection area becomes

smaller.

• The LED indicator on the key sur-

face does not turn on.

●

To avoid serious deterioration, do
not leave the electronic key within
3 ft. (1 m) of the following electri-
cal appliances that produce a
magnetic field:

• TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones

and battery chargers

• Recharging cellular phones or

cordless phones

• Table lamps
• Induction cookers

●

If the electronic key is near the

even if the smart key system is not
operated, the key battery may
become depleted faster than nor-
mal.

procedures.

WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

■

Caution while driving

●

Keep the back door closed

while driving. If the back door is

left open, it may hit near-by

objects while driving or luggage

may be unexpectedly thrown

out, causing an accident.

In addition, exhaust gases may

enter the vehicle, causing death

or a serious health hazard.

Make sure to close the back

door before driving.

●

Before driving the vehicle, make

sure that the back door is fully

closed. If the back door is not

fully closed, it may open unex-

pectedly while driving, causing

an accident.

●

Never let anyone sit in the lug-

gage compartment. In the event

of sudden braking or a collision,

they are susceptible to death or

serious injury.

■

When children are in the vehi-

cle

●

Do not allow children to play in

the luggage compartment.

If a child is accidentally locked

in the luggage compartment,

they could have heat exhaus-

tion or other injuries.

●

Do not allow a child to open or

close the back door.

Doing so may cause the back

door to move unexpectedly, or

cause the child’s hands, head,

or neck to be caught by the

closing back door.

■

Operating the back door

●

Remove any heavy loads, such

as snow and ice, from the back

door before opening it. Failure

to do so may cause the back

door to suddenly shut again

after it is opened.

●

When opening or closing the

back door, thoroughly check to

make sure the surrounding area

is safe.

●

If anyone is in the vicinity, make

sure they are safe and let them

know that the back door is

about to open or close.

●

Use caution when opening or

closing the back door in windy

weather as it may move

abruptly in strong wind.

●

The back door may suddenly

shut if it is not opened fully. It is

more difficult to open or close

the back door on an incline than

on a level surface, so beware of

the back door unexpectedly

opening or closing by itself.

Make sure that the back door is

fully open and secure before

using the luggage compartment.

Note for the entry function

●

Even when the electronic key is
within the effective range (detec-
tion areas), the system may not
operate properly in the following

cases:

• The electronic key is too close to

the window or outside door han-
dle, near the ground, or in a high
place when the doors are locked
or unlocked.

• The electronic key is on the instru-

ment panel, luggage cover or
floor, or in the door pockets or
glove box when the engine is
started or engine switch modes
are changed.

●

Do not leave the electronic key on
top of the instrument panel or near
the door pockets when exiting the
vehicle. Depending on the radio
wave reception conditions, it may
be detected by the antenna out-
side the cabin and the door will
become lockable from the outside,
possibly trapping the electronic
key inside the vehicle.

●

As long as the electronic key is
within the effective range, the
doors may be locked or unlocked
by anyone. However, only the
doors detecting the electronic key
can be used to unlock the vehicle.

●

Even if the electronic key is not
inside the vehicle, it may be possi-
ble to start the engine if the elec-
tronic key is near the window.

●

The doors may unlock or lock if a
large amount of water splashes on
the door handle, such as in the
rain or in a car wash when the
electronic key is within the effec-
tive range. (The doors will auto-
matically be locked after
approximately 60 seconds if the
doors are not opened and closed.)

●

If the wireless remote control is
used to lock the doors when the
electronic key is near the vehicle,
there is a possibility that the door
may not be unlocked by the entry
function. (Use the wireless remote
control to unlock the doors.)

●

Touching the door lock or unlock
sensor while wearing gloves may
prevent lock or unlock operation.

Before driving

●

When the lock operation is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals will be shown up
to two consecutive times. After
this, no recognition signals will be
given.

●

If the door handle becomes wet
while the electronic key is within
the effective range, the door may
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that
case, follow the following correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehi-
cle:

• Place the electronic key in a loca-

tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from
the vehicle. (Take care to ensure
that the key is not stolen.)

• Set the electronic key to bat-

tery-saving mode to disable the
smart key system. (



P.109)

●

If the electronic key is inside the
vehicle and a door handle
becomes wet during a car wash, a
message may be shown on the
multi-information display and a
buzzer will sound outside the vehi-
cle. To turn off the alarm, lock all
the doors.

●

The lock sensor may not work
properly if it comes into contact
with ice, snow, mud, etc. Clean
the lock sensor and attempt to
operate it again.

●

A sudden handle operation or a
handle operation immediately
after entering the effective range
may prevent the doors from being
unlocked. Touch the door unlock
sensor and check that the doors
are unlocked before pulling the
door handle again.

●

If there is another electronic key in
the detection area, it may take
slightly longer to unlock the doors
after the door handle is gripped.

■

When the vehicle is not driven
for extended periods

●

To prevent theft of the vehicle, do
not leave the electronic key within
6 ft. (2 m) of the vehicle.

●

The smart key system can be

deactivated in advance. (

●

Setting the electronic key to bat-
tery-saving mode helps to reduce
key battery depletion. (

■

To operate the system properly

Make sure to carry the electronic
key when operating the system. Do
not get the electronic key too close
to the vehicle when operating the
system from the outside of the vehi-
cle.
Depending on the position and hold-
ing condition of the electronic key,
the key may not be detected cor-
rectly and the system may not oper-
ate properly. (The alarm may go off
accidentally, or the door lock pre-
vention function may not operate.)

■

Driving in the rain

●

Drive carefully when it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced,
the windows may become
fogged-up, and the road will be
slippery.

●

Drive carefully when it starts to
rain, because the road surface will
be especially slippery.

●

Refrain from high speeds when
driving on an expressway in the
rain, because there may be a
layer of water between the tires
and the road surface, preventing
the steering and brakes from
operating properly.

■

Engine speed while driving
(vehicles with a continuously
variable transmission)

In the following conditions, the
engine speed may become high
while driving. This is due to auto-
matic up-shifting control or
down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not
indicate sudden acceleration.

●

The vehicle is judged to be driving
uphill or downhill

●

When the accelerator pedal is
released

●

When the brake pedal is
depressed while sport mode is
selected

■

Restraining the engine output
(Brake Override System)

●

When the accelerator and brake
pedals are depressed at the same
time, the engine output may be
restrained.

●

A warning message is displayed
on the multi-information display

132

4-1. Before driving

COROLLA H/B_U

while the system is operating.

■

Restraining sudden start

(Drive-Start Control [vehicles

with a continuously variable

transmission])

●

When the following unusual oper-

ation is performed, the engine out-

put may be restrained.

• When the shift lever is shifted from

R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D, or P

to R (D includes M) with the accel-

erator pedal depressed, a warning

message appears on the

multi-information display. If a

warning message is shown on the

multi-information display, read the

message and follow the instruc-

tion.

• When the accelerator pedal is

depressed too much while the

vehicle is in reverse.

●

While Drive-Start Control is being

activated, your vehicle may have

trouble escaping from the mud or

fresh snow. In such case, deacti-

vate TRAC (



P.247) to cancel

Drive-Start Control so that the

vehicle may become able to

escape from the mud or fresh

snow.

■

Breaking in your new Toyota

To extend the life of the vehicle,

observing the following precautions

is recommended:

●

For the first 186 miles (300 km):

Avoid sudden stops.

●

For the first 621 miles (1000 km):

• Do not drive at extremely high

speeds.

• Avoid sudden acceleration.

• Do not drive continuously in low

gears.

• Do not drive at a constant speed

for extended periods.

■

Operating your vehicle in a for-

eign country

Comply with the relevant vehicle

registration laws and confirm the

availability of the correct fuel.

(



P.515)

WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

■

When starting the vehicle

(vehicles with a continuously

variable transmission)

Always keep your foot on the

brake pedal while stopped with

the engine running. This prevents

the vehicle from creeping.

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not drive if you are unfamil-

iar with the location of the brake

and accelerator pedals to avoid

depressing the wrong pedal.

• Accidentally depressing the

accelerator pedal instead of the

brake pedal will result in sudden

acceleration that may lead to an

accident.

• When backing up, you may twist

your body around, leading to a

difficulty in operating the pedals.

Make sure to operate the pedals

properly.

• Make sure to keep a correct

driving posture even when mov-

ing the vehicle only slightly. This

allows you to depress the brake

and accelerator pedals properly.

• Depress the brake pedal using

your right foot. Depressing the

brake pedal using your left foot

may delay response in an emer-

gency, resulting in an accident.

WARNING

●

Do not drive the vehicle over or

stop the vehicle near flammable

materials.

The exhaust system and

exhaust gases can be

extremely hot. These hot parts

may cause a fire if there is any

flammable material nearby.

●

During normal driving, do not

turn off the engine. Turning the

engine off while driving will not

cause loss of steering or brak-

ing control, but the power assist

to these systems will be lost.

This will make it more difficult to

steer and brake, so you should

pull over and stop the vehicle as

soon as it is safe to do so.

However, in the event of an

emergency, such as if it

becomes impossible to stop the

vehicle in the normal way:



P.464

●

Use engine braking (downshift)

to maintain a safe speed when

driving down a steep hill.

Using the brakes continuously

may cause the brakes to over-

heat and lose effectiveness.

(



P.147, 151)

●

Do not adjust the positions of

the steering wheel, the seat, or

the inside or outside rear view

mirrors while driving.

Doing so may result in a loss of

vehicle control.

●

Always check that all passen-

gers’ arms, heads or other parts

of their body are not outside the

vehicle.

●

Do not drive in excess of the

speed limit. Even if the legal

speed limit permits it, do not

drive over 85 mph (140 km/h)

unless your vehicle has

high-speed capability tires. Driv-

ing over 85 mph (140 km/h)

may result in tire failure, loss of

control and possible injury. Be

sure to consult a tire dealer to

determine whether the tires on

your vehicle are high-speed

capability tires or not before

driving at such speeds.

■

When driving on slippery

road surfaces

●

Sudden braking, acceleration

and steering may cause tire

slippage and reduce your ability

to control the vehicle.

●

Sudden acceleration, engine

braking due to shifting, or

changes in engine speed could

cause the vehicle to skid.

●

After driving through a puddle,

lightly depress the brake pedal

to make sure that the brakes

are functioning properly. Wet

brake pads may prevent the

brakes from functioning prop-

erly. If the brakes on only one

side are wet and not functioning

properly, steering control may

be affected.

■

When shifting the shift lever

●

Vehicles with a continuously

variable transmission: Do not let

the vehicle roll backward while a

forward driving position is

selected, or roll forward while

the shift lever is in R.

Doing so may cause the engine

to stall or lead to poor brake and

steering performance, resulting

in an accident or damage to the

vehicle.

134

4-1. Before driving

COROLLA H/B_U

WARNING

●

Vehicles with a continuously

variable transmission: Do not

shift the shift lever to P while the

vehicle is moving.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

●

Do not shift the shift lever to R

while the vehicle is moving for-

ward.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

●

Do not shift the shift lever to a

driving position while the vehicle

is moving backward.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

●

Moving the shift lever to N while

the vehicle is moving will disen-

gage the engine from the trans-

mission. Engine braking is not

available when N is selected.

●

Vehicles with a continuously

variable transmission: Be care-

ful not to shift the shift lever with

the accelerator pedal

depressed. Shifting the shift

lever to any positions other than

P or N may lead to unexpected

rapid acceleration of the vehicle

that may cause an accident and

result in death or serious injury.

■

If you hear a squealing or

scraping noise (brake pad

wear indicators)

Have the brake pads checked and

replaced by your Toyota dealer as

soon as possible.
Rotor damage may 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 those of the brake

discs are exceeded.

■

When the vehicle is stopped

●

Do not race the engine.

If the vehicle is in any gear other

than P (continuously variable

transmission) or N, the vehicle

may accelerate suddenly and

unexpectedly, causing an acci-

dent.

●

Vehicles with a continuously

variable transmission: In order

to prevent accidents due to the

vehicle rolling away, always

keep depressing the brake

pedal while the engine is run-

ning, and apply the parking

brake as necessary.

●

If the vehicle is stopped on an

incline, in order to prevent acci-

dents caused by the vehicle roll-

ing forward or backward, always

depress the brake pedal and

securely apply the parking

brake as needed.

●

Avoid revving or racing the

engine.

Running the engine at high

speed while the vehicle is

stopped may cause the exhaust

system to overheat, which could

result in a fire if combustible

material is nearby.

■

When the vehicle is parked

●

Do not leave glasses, cigarette

lighters, spray cans, or soft

drink cans in the vehicle when it

is in the sun.

Doing so may result in the fol-

lowing:

• Gas may leak from a cigarette

lighter or spray can, and may

lead to a fire.

WARNING

• The temperature inside the

vehicle may cause the plastic

lenses and plastic material of

glasses to deform or crack.

• Soft drink cans may fracture,

causing the contents to spray

over the interior of the vehicle,

and may also cause a short cir-

cuit in the vehicle’s electrical

components.

●

Do not leave cigarette lighters in

the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter

is in a place such as the glove

box or on the floor, it may be lit

accidentally when luggage is

loaded or the seat is adjusted,

causing a fire.

●

Do not attach adhesive discs to

the windshield or windows. Do

not place containers such as air

fresheners on the instrument

panel or dashboard. Adhesive

discs or containers may act as

lenses, causing a fire in the

vehicle.

●

Do not leave a door or window

open if the curved glass is

coated with a metallized film

such as a silver-colored one.

Reflected sunlight may cause

the glass to act as a lens, caus-

ing a fire.

●

Always apply the parking brake,

shift the shift lever to P (vehicles

with a continuously variable

transmission), stop the engine

and lock the vehicle.

Do not leave the vehicle unat-

tended while the engine is run-

ning.

If the vehicle is parked with the

shift lever in P but the parking

brake is not set, the vehicle may

start to move, possibly leading

to an accident.

●

Do not touch the exhaust pipes

while the engine is running or

immediately after turning the

engine off.

Doing so may cause burns.

■

When taking a nap in the vehi-

cle

Always turn the engine off. Other-

wise, if you accidentally move the

shift lever or depress the acceler-

ator pedal, this could cause an

accident or fire due to engine

overheating. Additionally, if the

vehicle is parked in a poorly venti-

lated area, exhaust gases may

collect and enter the vehicle, lead-

ing to death or a serious health

hazard.

■

When braking

●

When the brakes are wet, drive

more cautiously.

Braking distance increases

when the brakes are wet, and

this 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 brake booster device does

not operate, do not follow other

vehicles closely and avoid hills

or sharp turns that require brak-

ing.

In this case, braking is still pos-

sible, but the brake pedal

should be depressed more

firmly than usual. Also, the brak-

ing distance will 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.

136

4-1. Before driving

COROLLA H/B_U

WARNING

●

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 the braking distance

will increase. Have your brakes

fixed immediately.

■

If the vehicle becomes stuck

Do not spin the wheels exces-

sively when a driven wheel is up

in the air, or the vehicle is stuck in

sand, mud, etc. This may damage

the driveline components or pro-

pel the vehicle forward or back-

ward, causing an accident.

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 passen-
gers that will be riding in your
vehicle.

(3) Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and passen-
gers 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 passen-
gers 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 available cargo and
luggage load capacity calcu-
lated in Step 4.

(6) If your vehicle will be towing
a trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your vehi-
cle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces the
available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.
(

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