4-1. Before driving  
■When starting off on a uphill (vehicles with a hill-start assist control)  
The hill-start assist control will activate. (P. 279)  
■Driving in the rain  
●Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-  
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.  
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-  
cially 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 sur-  
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.  
■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.  
■Breaking in your new Toyota  
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recom-  
mended:  
4
●For the first 300 km (200 miles):  
Avoid sudden stops.  
●For the first 1000 km (600 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 registration laws and confirm the availability  
of the correct fuel. (P. 521)  
AYGO_OM_Europe_OM9A012E

4-1. Before driving  
WARNING  
Observe the following precautions.  
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.  
■When starting the vehicle (vehicles with a multi-mode manual trans-  
mission)  
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine  
running. This prevents the vehicle from moving unexpectedly.  
■When driving the vehicle  
●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel-  
erator 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 difficulty  
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.  
●During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off  
while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking 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. 439  
●Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving  
down a steep hill.  
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose  
effectiveness. (P. 222, 227)  
●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 passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body  
are not outside the vehicle.

4-1. Before driving  
WARNING  
■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 properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet  
and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected.  
■When shifting the shift lever  
●On vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission, do not let the vehicle  
roll backward while the shift lever is in a driving position, 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.  
4
●Do not shift the shift lever to R while the vehicle is moving forward.  
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle  
control.  
●Do not shift the shift lever to E or M (multi-mode manual transmission) or 1  
(manual transmission) while the vehicle is moving backward.  
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle  
control.  
●Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the  
engine from the transmission. Engine braking is not available when N is  
selected.  
●On vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission, be careful not to shift  
the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed. Shifting the shift lever  
to a gear other than N may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the  
vehicle that may cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.  
AYGO_OM_Europe_OM9A012E  
208  
4-1. Before driving  
WARNING  
■When the vehicle is stopped  
●Do not race the engine.  
If the vehicle is in any gear other than N, the vehicle may accelerate sud-  
denly and unexpectedly, causing an accident.  
●On vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission, in order to prevent  
accidents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep depressing the  
brake pedal while the engine is running, and apply the parking brake as  
necessary.  
●If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused  
by the vehicle rolling 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 following:  
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a  
fire.  
• 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 circuit 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 vehi-  
cle.  
●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, causing a fire.  
AYGO_OM_Europe_OM9A012E

4-1. Before driving  
WARNING  
●On vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission, always apply the  
parking brake, shift the shift lever to E, M or R, stop the engine and lock  
the vehicle.  
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.  
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or immediately  
after turning the engine off.  
Doing so may cause burns.  
●On vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission, do not turn off the  
engine until 1st or reverse is engaged properly and completely. Confirm  
that the gear is engaged by viewing the gear position indicator.  
Parking the vehicle without a gear engaged may cause the vehicle to  
move result in an accident.  
■When taking a nap in the vehicle  
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift  
lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire  
due to engine overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly  
ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to  
death or a serious health hazard.  
4
■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 braking.  
In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be  
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking 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.  
●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.

●Do not shift gears unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed. After shifting,  
do not release the clutch pedal abruptly. Doing so may damage the clutch,  
transmission and gears.  
●Observe the following to prevent the clutch from being damaged.  
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving.  
Doing so may cause clutch trouble.  
• Do not use any gears other than the 1st gear when starting off and mov-  
ing forward.  
Doing so may damage the clutch.  
• Do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopping on an uphill  
grade.  
Doing so may damage the clutch.  
●Do not shift the shift lever to R when the vehicle is still moving. Doing so  
may damage the clutch, transmission and gears.  
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts  
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for  
an extended period of time.  
Doing so may damage the power steering motor.  
●When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid  
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.  
■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 depress the brake pedal to slow down the vehi-  
cle.  
●It may be difficult to control your vehicle.

WARNING  
■When refueling the vehicle  
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do  
so may result in death or serious injury.  
●After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an  
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to  
discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from  
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.  
●Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.  
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.  
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot  
weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck and cause injury.  
●Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their  
body to come close to an open fuel tank.  
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.  
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.  
●Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.  
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.  
●Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically  
charged.  
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition  
hazard.  
■When refueling  
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel  
tank:  
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.  
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.  
●Do not top off the fuel tank.  
NOTICE  
■Refueling  
Do not spill fuel during refueling.  
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control  
system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the  
vehicle’s painted surface.

■Front sensor  
The front sensor uses lasers to detect vehicles ahead of your vehicle. The  
front sensor is classified as class 1M laser product according to the IEC  
60825-1 standard. Under normal usage conditions, these lasers are not  
harmful to the naked eye. However, it is necessary to observe the following  
precautions.  
Failure to do so may result in the loss of eyesight or severe visual impair-  
ment.  
●To avoid hazardous laser radiation exposure, never attempt to disassem-  
ble the front sensor (e.g. remove the lenses). When disassembled, the  
front sensor is classified as a class 3B laser product according to the IEC  
60825-1 standard. Class 3B lasers are hazardous and pose a risk of eye  
injury under direct exposure.

PCS (Pre-Collision system)  
The pre-collision system uses the front sensor to detect vehi-  
cles in front of your vehicle. When the system determines that  
the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle is high, a warn-  
ing operates to urge the driver to take evasive action and the  
potential brake pressure is increased to help the driver avoid the  
collision. If the system determines that the possibility of a fron-  
tal collision with a vehicle is extremely high, the brakes are auto-  
matically applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce the  
impact of the collision.  
The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warning  
timing can be changed. (P. 254)

◆ Pre-collision warning  
When the system determines  
that the possibility of a frontal  
collision is high, a buzzer will  
sound and the PCS activation  
indicator will flash to urge the  
driver to take evasive action.  
◆ Pre-collision brake assist  
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-  
sion with a vehicle is high, the system applies greater braking force  
in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.  
◆ Pre-collision braking  
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-  
sion with a vehicle is high, the system warns the driver. If the sys-  
tem determines that the possibility of a collision is extremely high,  
the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or  
reduce the collision speed.

WARNING  
■Limitations of the pre-collision system  
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking  
care to observe your surroundings.  
Do not use the pre-collision system instead of normal braking operations  
under any circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen  
collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not overly rely on this sys-  
tem. Failure to do so may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious  
injury.  
●Although this system is designed to help avoid and reduce the impact of a  
collision, its effectiveness may change according to various conditions,  
therefore the system may not always be able to achieve the same level of  
performance.  
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system  
and always drive carefully.  
• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-  
sibility of a collision: P. 256  
• Conditions under which the system may not operate properly: P. 260  
●Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself, as  
the system may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident.  
■Pre-collision braking  
●The pre-collision braking function may not operate if certain operations are  
performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed  
strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine  
that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the pre-colli-  
sion braking function from operating.  
●In some situations, while the pre-collision braking function is operating,  
operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is  
depressed strongly or the steering wheel is turned and the system deter-  
mines that the driver is taking evasive action.  
●A large amount of braking force is applied while the pre-collision braking  
function is operating. Additionally, as the operation of the pre-collision  
braking function will be canceled after the vehicle has been stopped for  
approximately 2 seconds if it is stopped by the operation of the pre-colli-  
sion braking function, the driver should depress the brake pedal as neces-  
sary.  
●If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine that the  
driver is taking evasive action and possibly delay the operation timing of  
the pre-collision braking function.

WARNING  
●While driving, such as when driving through a railway crossing, the system  
may determine that the possibility of a collision with an object, such as rail-  
way crossing barrier, is high and operate the pre-collision braking function.  
To move the vehicle in an emergency, such as if the system operates in a  
railway crossing, perform the following operations and then take the nec-  
essary measures to ensure your safety.  
• If the vehicle has been stopped, depress the accelerator pedal.  
• If the vehicle is decelerating, fully depress the accelerator pedal.  
(P. 255)  
• Disable the pre-collision system. (P. 254)  
■When to disable the pre-collision system  
In the following situations, disable the system, as it may not operate prop-  
erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:  
●When the vehicle is being towed  
●When your vehicle is towing another vehicle  
4
●When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of  
transportation  
●When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the engine running and the tires  
are allowed to rotate freely  
●When inspecting the vehicle using a drum tester such as a chassis dyna-  
mometer or speedometer tester, or when using an on vehicle wheel bal-  
ancer  
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehi-  
cle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning  
●When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road  
●When the condition of the tires is poor and they do not perform well  
(P. 404)  
●When tires of a size other than specified are installed  
●When tire chains are installed  
●When a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used

It may indicate a malfunction in the system. Contact any authorized Toyota  
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.  
WARNING  
■Before using the LDA system  
Do not rely solely on the LDA system. The LDA system does not drive the  
vehicle automatically, nor does it reduce the amount of care you need to  
take. As such, the driver must always assume full responsibility for under-  
standing his/her surroundings, for operating the steering wheel to correct  
the driving line, and for driving safely.  
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an accident.  
■To avoid operating the LDA by mistake  
Switch the LDA system off using the LDA switch when not in use.  
NOTICE  
■To prevent damage to or incorrect operation of the LDA system  
●Do not modify the headlights or attach stickers to the surface of the lights.

To keep driving safety and performance, the following systems  
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 vehi-  
cle.  
◆ 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  
4
◆ VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)  
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or  
turning on slippery road surfaces  
◆ TRC (Traction Control)  
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from  
spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads  
◆ EPS (Electric Power Steering)  
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to  
turn the steering wheel  
◆ Hill-start assist control  
Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when start-  
ing on an uphill  
◆ PCS (Pre-Collision system) (if equipped)
