Before Driving
Saving Fuel and Protection of the Environment
How you operate your Toyota determines how far it will travel on a
tank of fuel. Use these suggestions to help save fuel and reduce CO2.
• Avoid long warm-ups. Once the en gine runs smoothly, begin driv-
ing.
• Avoid fast starts.
• Drive at lower speeds.
• Anticipate when to apply the brakes (avoid sudden braking).
• Follow the maintenance schedule and have your Toyota dealer per- form inspections and servicing.
• Use the air conditioner only when necessary.
• Slow down on rough roads.
• Keep the tires properly inflated.
• Do not carry unnecessary weight.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
• Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
• Keep windows closed at high speeds.
• Slow down when driving in crosswinds and headwinds.
WARNING
■ Never stop the engine when going down a hill
Stopping the engine when going down a hill is dangerous. This causes the
loss of power steering and power brake control, and may cause damage to
the drivetrain. Any loss of steering or braking control could cause an acci-
dent.

Maintenance and Care
Also, inspect them for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by one or a combination of the following:• Incorrect tire pressure
• Improper wheel alignment
• Out-of-balance wheel
• Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to specification (
→P. 558) and
inspect the lug nu ts for tightness.
With tire pressure monitoring system:
After adjusting the tire pressure, init ialization of the tire pressure mon-
itoring system is necessary to make the system operate normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on P. 221.
WARNING
■Rotate tires periodically
Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To equalize tire wear and extend tire
life, Toyota recommends that tire rotation is carried out at the same
interval as tire inspection.
For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to the “Owner’s
Manual Supplement/Scheduled Maintenance Guide”.
NOTICE
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires that have an asymmetrical
tread pattern or studs only from front to rear, not from side to side. Tire
performance will be reduced if rotated from side to side.

Tire Maintenance
Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Here are some important maintenance points:
Inspect all tire pressure monthly (including the spare) when the tires
are cold. Maintain recommended pressures for the best ride, top han-
dling, and minimum tire wear. Use the pressures specified on the
vehicle tire information placard or tire label for optimum service.
To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that
tire rotation is carried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.
Inspect the tires for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usu-
ally caused by one or a combination of the following:
• Incorrect tire pressure
• Improper wheel alignment
• Out-of-balance wheel
• Severe braking
