lights etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.

242

2-4. Using other driving systems

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.

2

●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

243

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.

244

2-4. Using other driving systems

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

2

■ 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.

■ Hill-start assist control

P. 252

■ EPS (Electric Power Steering)

Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn

the steering wheel

245

2-4. Using other driving systems

When the TRAC/VSC systems are operating

The slip indicator light will flash

while the TRAC (brake LSD

function)/VSC systems are oper-

ating.

Disabling the TRAC system

If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or snow, the TRAC system may

reduce power from the engine to the wheels. Pressing to turn

the system off may make it easier for you to rock the vehicle in order

to free it.

In this case, the brake LSD function remains on.

To turn the TRAC system off,

quickly press and release the

button.

The “TRAC OFF” indicator light

will come on.

Press the button again to turn the

system back on.

246

2-4. Using other driving systems

“TRACK” mode

Your vehicle is equipped with two types of control modes to accom-

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.

2-4. Using other driving systems

■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.

2

• 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.

■EPS operation sound

When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may

be heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.

■Automatic reactivation of TRAC and VSC systems

After turning the TRAC and VSC systems off, the systems will be automati-

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.

249

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.

■Automatic deactivation of “TRACK” mode

Vehicles without a smart key system

When the engine switch is turned to “LOCK” position after driving in

“TRACK” mode, the mode is automatically deactivated.

Vehicles with a smart key system

When the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned off after driving in

“TRACK” mode, the mode is automatically deactivated.

WARNING

■The ABS does not operate effectively when

●Tires with inadequate gripping ability are used (such as excessively worn

tires on a snow covered road).

●The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick roads.

■Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor-

mal conditions

The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always

maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you in the following situ-

ations:

●When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads

●When driving with tire chains

●When driving over bumps in the road

●When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces

250

2-4. Using other driving systems

WARNING

■TRAC may not operate effectively when

Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-

pery road surfaces, even if the TRAC system is operating.

Do not drive the vehicle in conditions where stability and power may be lost.

■When the VSC and/or brake LSD function is activated

The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may

cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.

2

■When the TRAC/VSC systems are turned off

Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi-

tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving

force, do not turn the TRAC/VSC systems off unless necessary.

■Replacing tires

Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and

total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the

recommended tire inflation pressure level.

The ABS, TRAC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires

are installed on the vehicle.

Contact your Toyota dealer for further information when replacing tires or

wheels.

■Handling of tires and suspension

Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect

the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.
