TACOMA_OM_USA_OM04025U_20MY
n When starting off on an uphill (vehicles with the hill-start assist control
system)
The hill-start assist control will activate. (→P. 318)
n Driving in the rain
l Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
l Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
l 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.
n Engine speed while driving (vehicles with an automatic transmission)
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting control or down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.
l The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
l When the accelerator pedal is released
l When the brake pedal is depressed while power mode is selected
n Restraining the engine output (Brake Override System)
l When the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed at the same time, the
engine output may be restrained.
l A warning message is displayed on the multi-information display while the
system is operating. (→P. 486)
n Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start Control: vehicles with an automatic
transmission)
l When the following unusual operation is performed, the engine output may
be restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted from R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D, or P to
R (D includes S) with the accelerator pedal depressed, a warning mes-
sage appears on the multi-information display.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed too much while the vehicle is in
reverse.
l While Drive-Start Control is being activated, your vehicle may have trouble
escaping from the mud or fresh snow. In such case, perform the following
actions to cancel Drive-Start Control so that the vehicle may become able to
escape from the mud or fresh snow.
• Deactivate TRAC (→P. 318)
• When the AUTO LSD system is turned on.
