Before Driving
Hazardous Driving
When driving on ice or in water, snow, mud, sand, or similar hazards:• Be cautious and allow ex tra distance for braking.
• Avoid sudden braking and sudden maneuvering.
• Do not pump the brakes. Continue to press down on the brake pedal. Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS) on P. 193.
• If you get stuck, select a lower g ear and accelerate slowly. Do not
spin the front wheels.
• For more traction in starting on slippery surfaces such as ice or packed snow, use sand, rock salt, chains, carpeting, or other non-
slip material under the front wheels.
Use snow chains only on the front wheels.
WARNING
■ Be extremely careful if it is necessary to downshift on slippery sur-
faces
Downshifting into lower gear while driving on slippery surfaces is danger-
ous. The sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This
could lead to loss of vehicle control and an accident.

2-8. Driving Tips
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire chains, window scraper, flares, a
small shovel, jumper cables, a nd a small bag of sand or salt.
Ask your Toyota dealer to check the following: • Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the radiator. Refer to Engine Coolant on P. 425.
• Inspect the battery and its cables . Cold reduces battery capacity.
• Use an engine oil appropriate for the lowest ambient temperatures that the vehicle will be driven in ( →P. 422).
• Inspect the ignition sy stem for damage and loose connections.
• Use washer fluid made with antifreeze ⎯but do not use engine cool-
ant antifreeze for washer fluid ( →P. 429).
●Do not use the parking brake in freezing weather as it may freeze. Instead,
shift to 1 or R with a manual transaxle and to P with an automatic transaxle.
Block the rear wheels.
● Remove snow before driving. Snow left on the windshield is dangerous as it
could obstruct vision.
● Do not apply excessive force to a window scraper when removing ice or fro-
zen snow on the mirror glass and windshield.
● Never use warm or hot water for removing snow or ice from windows and
mirrors as it could result in the glass cracking.
● Drive slowly. Braking performance can be adversely affected if snow or ice
adheres to the brake components. If this situation occurs, drive the vehicle
slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes sev-
eral times until the brake performance returns to normal.

WARNING
■Driving with tire chains
● Chains may affect handling.
● Do not go faster than 30 mph (50 km/h) or the chain manufacturer’s rec-
ommended limit, whichever is lower.
● Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes, and sharp turns.
● Avoid locked-wheel braking.
NOTICE
●Do not use chains on a temporary spare tire; it may result in damage to the
vehicle and to the tire.
● Do not use chains on roads that are free of snow or ice. The tires and
chains could be damaged.
● Chains may scratch or chip aluminum wheels.
