come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are
not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immedi-
ately if this occurs.

WARNING

■

Caution for use while driving

●

When operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra
attention to the safety of the area around the vehicle.

●

Do not look continuously at the multi-information display while driving as
you may fail to see pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the
vehicle.

■

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 down-
shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or injury.

■

Cautions during setting up the display

As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that
the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area
such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO)
may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health
hazard.

NOTICE

■

While setting up the display

To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while setting
up the display features.

WARNING

■

When using the rear view monitor system

Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injuries.

●

The rear view monitor system is a supplement device intended to assist
back up. Never depend solely on the rear view monitor system when
reversing. Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your
intended path is clear. Use caution just as you would when backing up any
vehicle.

●

The camera has a special lens. Depicted distances between objects and
flat surfaces differ from actual distances.

●

Always check the vehicle surrounding area, because the guide lines are
ancillary lines.

●

The guide lines are ancillary lines and do not change even if the steering
wheel is turned.

●

Do not use the system if the trunk is open.

■

Conditions which may affect the rear view monitor system

●

If the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting
angle may have changed. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.

●

When the outside temperature is low, the displayed image may become
faint or dark, and moving images will be distorted, or not entirely visible.

●

Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the
vehicle in cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.

●

If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with
water and wipe with a soft cloth. If the camera lens is extremely dirty, wash
with a mild cleanser and rinse.

●

If the tire size is changed, the area displayed on the screen may change.

●

Do not do the following. Doing so may scratch the lens, which may have a
negative effect on the image displayed on the screen.

• Rub the camera lens hard
• Use a hard brush to scrub the camera lens
• Scrub the lens with abrasive cleaners

244

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the camera

●

As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble
or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.

●

Take care so that organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat
does not adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as pos-
sible.

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.

■

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 spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
The TRAC system is also equipped with the brake LSD function.

modate various driving preferences. The control modes can be
selected with the “TRACK” switch. Normal mode allows secure and
smooth normal driving. When the switch is pressed and held for 1
second or more, “TRACK” mode is activated. Control characteristics
such as the VSC and TRAC are adjusted to afford maneuverability
closer to what a driver may desire, while a sense of security is
retained.

Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, TRAC and
VSC systems

●

A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake
pedal is depressed repeatedly, 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.

■

cally reactivated in the following situations:

●

Vehicles without a smart key system: When the engine switch is turned to
“LOCK” position

●

Vehicles with a smart key system: When the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch is turned off

●

If only the TRAC system is turned off, the TRAC will turn on when vehicle
speed is more than approximately 31 mph (50 km/h).
If both the TRAC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic reactivation
will not occur when vehicle speed increases.

250

2-4. Using other driving systems

■

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 after a little while.

■

(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 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 lug-

gage 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 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 avail-
able cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.

Take notice of the following information about storage precau-
tions, cargo capacity and load:

●

Stow cargo and luggage in the trunk whenever possible.

●

Be sure all items are secured in place.

●

To maintain vehicle balance while driving, position luggage
evenly within the luggage compartment.

●

For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight.
