Parking brake operation

When the engine switch is not in 

ON, the parking brake cannot be 

released using the parking brake 

switch.

When the engine switch is not in 

ON, automatic mode (automatic 

brake setting and releasing [vehi-

cles with a continuously variable 

transmission]) is not available. 

Parking brake automatic 

release function

The parking brake is automatically 

released when slowly depress the 

accelerator pedal.

The parking brake will be released 

automatically under the following 

conditions:

The driver’s door is closed

The driver is wearing the seat belt

The shift lever is a forward or 

reverse position.

The malfunction indicator lamp or 

brake system warning light is not 

illuminated.

If the automatic release function 

does not operate, manually release 

the parking brake.

If “Parking Brake Temporarily 

Unavailable” is displayed on 

the multi-information display

If the parking brake is operated 

repeatedly over a short period of 

time, the system may restrict opera-

tion to prevent overheating. If this 

happens, refrain from operating the 

parking brake. Normal operation will 

return after about 1 minute.

If “Parking Brake Unavailable” 

is displayed on the multi-infor-

mation display 

Operate the parking brake switch. If 

the message does not disappear 

after operating the switch several 

times, the system may be malfunc-

tioning. Have the vehicle inspected 

by your Toyota dealer.

Parking brake operation sound

When the parking brake operates, a 

motor sound (whirring sound) may 

be heard. This does not indicate a 

malfunction.

Parking brake operation

Depending on the engine switch 

position/mode, the parking brake 

indicator and parking brake light 

will turn on and stay on as 

described below: 

ON: Comes on until the parking 

brake is released.

WARNING

When parking the vehicle

Do not leave a child in the vehicle 

alone. The parking brake may be 

released unintentionally and there 

is the danger of the vehicle mov-

ing that may lead to an accident 

resulting in death or serious injury.

Parking brake switch

Do not set any objects near the 

parking brake switch.

Objects may interfere with the 

switch and may lead the parking 

brake to unexpectedly operate.

NOTICE

When parking the vehicle

Before you leave the vehicle, set 

the parking brake, shift the shift 

lever to P (continuously variable 

transmission) or N (manual trans-

mission) and make sure that the

and check the warning messages.

When the parking brake can-

not be released due to a mal-

function

Driving the vehicle with the park-

ing brake set will lead to brake 

components overheating, which 

may affect braking performance 

and increase brake wear.
Have the vehicle inspected by 

your Toyota dealer immediately if 

this occurs.

Brake Hold

*

Continuously variable trans-
mission

The brake hold system keeps the 
brake applied when the shift lever

Conditions to turn the high 

beams on/off automatically

When all of the following condi-

tions are met, the high beams will 

be turned on automatically (after 

approximately 1 second):

• The vehicle speed is approxi-

mately 21 mph (34 km/h) or more.

• The area ahead of the vehicle is 

dark.

• There are no vehicles ahead with 

headlights or tail lights turned on.

• There are few streetlights on the 

road ahead.

If any of the following conditions 

are met, the high beams will turn 

off automatically:

• The vehicle speed is below 

approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).

• The area ahead of the vehicle is 

not dark.

• Vehicles ahead have their head-

lights or tail lights turned on.

• There are many streetlights on the 

road ahead.

Camera sensor detection infor-

mation

The high beams may not be auto-

matically turned off in the following 

situations:

• When a vehicle suddenly appears 

Automatic High Beam

The Automatic High Beam 
uses a camera sensor 
located behind the upper 
portion of the windshield to 
assess the brightness of the 
lights of vehicles ahead, 
streetlights, etc., and auto-
matically turns the high 
beams on or off as neces-
sary.

WARNING

Limitations of the Automatic 

High Beam

Do not overly rely on the Auto-

matic High Beam. Always drive 

safely, taking care to observe your 

surroundings and turning the high 

beams on or off manually if nec-

essary.

from around a curve

• When the vehicle is cut in front of 

by another vehicle

• When vehicles ahead cannot be 

detected due to repeated curves, 

road dividers or roadside trees

• When vehicles ahead appear in a 

faraway lane on a wide road

• When the lights of vehicles ahead 

are not on

The high beams may be turned off 

if a vehicle ahead that is using fog 

lights without its headlights turned 

on is detected.

House lights, streetlights, traffic 

signals, and illuminated billboards 

or signs and other reflective 

objects may cause the high 

beams to change to the low 

beams, or the low beams to 

remain on.

The following factors may affect 

the amount of time taken for the 

high beams to turn on or off:

• The brightness of the headlights, 

fog lights, and tail lights of vehi-

cles ahead

• The movement and direction of 

vehicles ahead

• When a vehicle ahead only has 

operational lights on one side

• When a vehicle ahead is a 

two-wheeled vehicle

• The condition of the road (gradi-

ent, curve, condition of the road 

surface, etc.)

• The number of passengers and 

amount of luggage in the vehicle

The high beams may turn on or off 

unexpectedly.

Bicycles or similar vehicles may 

not be detected.

In the following situations the sys-

tem may not be able to correctly 

detect the surrounding brightness 

level. This may cause the low 

beams to remain on or the high 

beams to flash or dazzle pedestri-

ans or vehicles ahead. In such a 

case, it is necessary to manually 

switch between the high and low 

beams.

• When driving in inclement weather 

(heavy rain, snow, fog, sand-

storms, etc.)

• When the windshield is obscured 

by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.

• When the windshield is cracked or 

damaged

• When the camera sensor is 

deformed or dirty

• When the temperature of the cam-

era sensor is extremely high

level is equal to that of headlights, 

tail lights or fog lights

• When headlights or tail lights of 

vehicles ahead are turned off, 

dirty, changing color, or not aimed 

properly

• When the vehicle is hit by water, 

snow, dust, etc. from a preceding 

vehicle

• When driving through an area of 

intermittently changing brightness 

and darkness

• When frequently and repeatedly 

driving ascending/descending 

roads, or roads with rough, bumpy 

or uneven surfaces (such as 

stone-paved roads, gravel roads, 

etc.)

• When frequently and repeatedly 

taking curves or driving on a wind-

ing road

• When there is a highly reflective 

object ahead of the vehicle, such 

as a sign or mirror

• When the back of a preceding 

vehicle is highly reflective, such as 

a container on a truck

Fuel tank opening for unleaded 

gasoline

To help prevent incorrect fueling, 

your vehicle has a fuel tank opening 

that only accommodates the spe-

cial nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.

If the malfunction indicator 

lamp illuminates

The malfunction indicator lamp may 

illuminate erroneously if refueling is 

performed repeatedly when the fuel

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 sur-

face to discharge any static 

electricity. It is important to dis-

charge static electricity before 

refueling because sparks result-

ing 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 possi-

ble 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.
