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 driv-
ing on an expressway in the rain,

because there may be a layer of water

between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and

brakes from operating properly.

■

Engine speed while driving (vehi-

cles with a Multidrive)

In the following conditions, the engine

speed may become high while driving.

This is due to automatic up-shifting con-
trol or down-shifting implementation to

meet driving conditions. It does not indi-

cate sudden acceleration.

Breaking in your new Toyota

To extend the life of the vehicle, observ-

ing the following precautions is recom-
mended:

●

For the first 300 km (186 miles):

Avoid sudden stops.

●

For the first 800 km (500 miles):

Do not tow a trailer.

●

For the first 1000 km (621 miles):

• 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 foreign

country

Comply with the relevant vehicle regis-

tration laws and confirm the availability

of the correct fuel. (



P.450)

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

■

When starting the vehicle (vehi-

cles with a Multidrive)

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 unfamiliar
with the location of the brake and

accelerator pedals to avoid

depressing the wrong pedal.

• Accidentally depressing the accel-

erator pedal instead of the brake
pedal will result in sudden accelera-

tion that may lead to an accident.

• When backing up, you may twist

your body around, leading to a diffi-

culty in operating the pedals. Make
sure to operate the pedals properly.

• Make sure to keep a correct driving

posture even when moving the

vehicle only slightly. This allows you

to depress the brake and accelera-
tor pedals properly.

• Depress the brake pedal using your

right foot. Depressing the brake

pedal using your left foot may delay

response in an emergency, result-
ing in an accident.

●

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.
