Driving
■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.
■ Engine speed while driving
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.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
● When the accelerator pedal is released
● When the brake pedal is depressed while TOW/HAUL mode is selected (if
equipped)
■ Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
●For the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
● For the first 500 miles (800 km):
Do not tow a trailer.
● For the first 1000 miles (1600 km):
• 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.
■ Drum-in-disc type parking brake system
Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type parking brake system. This type of brake
system needs bedding-down of the brake shoes periodically or whenever the
parking brake shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have your Toyota dealer per-
form the bedding down operation.
■ Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P. 516)
■ When turning off the engine
The emission system operating sounds may continue for a short time after
the engine is turned off. This is not a malfunction, and helps to ensure optimal
performance of the emission system.
1824-2. Driving procedures
Column shift typeWhile the engine switch is in the “ON” position, move the shift
lever with the brake pedal depressed.
When shifting the shift lever between P and D, make sure that the vehi-
cle is completely stopped.
*1: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noises, set the shift lever in the Dposition for normal driving.
*2: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the possiblegear ranges, controls engine braking forces, and prevents unnecessary
upshifting.

1964-4. Refueling
Opening the fuel tank cap
●Close all the doors and windows, and turn the engine switch to the
“LOCK” position.
● Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
Gasoline vehicles
Unleaded gasoline (Octane rating 87 [Research Octane Number 91] or
higher)
Flex-fuel vehicles
Unleaded gasoline (Octane rating 87 [Research Octane Number 91] or
higher), E85 or a blend of these two fuels. ( P. 516)
■ Identifying flex-fuel vehicles
■ E85 Fueling Stations (Flex-fuel vehicles)
E85 fueling stations and fuel pumps can be identified by the indication “E85
85% Ethanol”. For more information about fueling stations, please refer to the
U.S. Department of Energy Web site.
http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/locator/stations/
Perform the following steps to open the fuel tank cap:
Before refueling the vehicle
Flex-fuel vehicles can be identified by the
fuel tank cap, which is marked “FLEX-
FUEL E85/GASOLINE”.
2414-6. Driving tips
4
Driving
Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the park-
ing brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being
released. If necessary, block the wheels to prev ent inadvertent sliding
or creeping.
Observe the following precautions when switching fuels, in order to
maintain starting and driving performance.
● Do not change fuels when the fuel level is 1/4 or less.
● Always add at least 2.6 gal. (10 L) of fuel.
● After filling up with fuel, warm up the engine or drive the vehicle for
at least 5 minutes or 7 miles (11 km).
● Do not accelerate rapidly immediately after refueling.
Use the correct tire chain size when mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each tire size.
Side chain
(0.2 in. [5 mm] in diameter)
Cross chain
(0.25 in. [6.3 mm] in diameter)
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary depending on loca-
tion and type of road. Al ways check local regulations before installing
chains.

4908-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If the engine will not start
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
●There may not be sufficient fuel in the vehicle’s tank.
Refuel the vehicle.
Flex-fuel vehicles: The type of fu el may be different. When refuel-
ing, add the same type of fuel, if available.
After adding a different type of fuel, the engine may run roughly and
driving performance may be reduced for a while when the engine is
first started. In this case, wait until the engine runs normally.
● The engine may be flooded.
Try to restart the engine again following correct starting procedures.
( P. 179)
● There may be a malfunction in the engine immobilizer system.
(if equipped) ( P. 78)
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
● The battery may be discharged. ( P. 493)
● The battery terminal connections may be loose or corroded.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
● One or both of the battery terminals may be disconnected.
● The battery may be discharged. ( P. 493)
Contact your Toyota dealer if the problem cannot be repaired, or if repair
procedures are unknown.
If the engine will not start even though correct starting proce-
dures are being followed ( P. 179), consider each of the follow-
ing points.
The engine will not start even though the starter motor operates
normally.
The starter motor turns over slowly, the interior lights and head-
lights are dim, or the horn does not sound or sounds at a low
volume.
The starter motor does not turn ov er, the interior lights and head-
lights do not turn on, or the horn does not sound.
