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.

When Driving
■Push Button Start Positions
●The engine starts by pressing the push button start while depressing the
clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic transaxle). To
switch the ignition position, press the push button start without depressing
the pedal.
● Do not leave the ignition switched ON while the engine is not running. Doing
so could result in the battery going dead. If the ignition is left in ACC (For
automatic transaxle, the selector lever is in the P position, and the ignition is
in ACC), the ignition switches off automatically after about 25 minutes.
■ ACC (Accessory)
The keyless entry system does not function while the push button start has
been pressed to ACC, and the doors will not lock/unlock even if they have
been locked manually.
■ ON
When the push button start is pressed to ON, the sound of the fuel pump
motor operating near the fuel tank can be heard. This does not indicate an
abnormality.
WARNING
■Before leaving the driver’s seat, set the parking brake, make sure the
selector lever is in 1st gear or R (manual transaxle) or in P (automatic
transaxle), and always switch the ignition off
Leaving the driver’s seat without setting the parking brake, shifting the
selector lever to 1st gear or R (manual transaxle) or to P (automatic tran-
saxle), and switching the ignition off is dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur which could result in an accident.
In addition, if your intention is to l eave the vehicle for even a short period, it
is important to switch the ignition off, as leaving it in another position will dis-
able some of the vehicle’s security systems and run the battery down.

When Driving
Turning the Engine Off
Stop the vehicle completely.
Manual transaxle:
Shift into neutral and set the parking brake.
Automatic transaxle:
Shift the selector lever to the P position and set the parking brake.
Press the push button start to turn off the engine. The ignition posi-
tion is off.
● The cooling fan in the engine compartment could turn on for a few minutes
after the ignition is switched from ON to OFF, whether or not the A/C is on or
off, to cool the engine compartment quickly.
● When the push button start is pressed from ON to ACC or OFF, the KEY
indicator light (green) may flash for approximately 30 seconds indicating
that the remaining battery power of the key is low.
Replace with a new battery before the key becomes unusable.
Refer to Key Battery Replacement on P. 436.
● Automatic transaxle:
If the engine is turned off while the selector lever is in a position other than
P, the ignition switches to ACC.
Continuously pressing the push button start or quickly pressing it two
or more times while the engine is running or the vehicle is being
driven will turn the engine off immediately. The ignition switches to
ACC.
WARNING
■Do not stop the engine wh ile the vehicle is moving
Stopping the engine while the vehicle is moving for any reason other than in
an emergency is dangerous. Stopping the engine while the vehicle is mov-
ing will result in reduced braking ability due to the loss of power braking,
which could cause an accident and serious injury.
NOTICE
When leaving the vehicle, make sure the push button start is off.

3-3. Transaxle
Manual Transaxle Operation
The shift pattern of the transaxle
is conventional, as shown.
Depress the clutch pedal all the
way down while shifting; then
release it slowly.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
device to prevent shifting to R
(reverse) by mistake. Push the
shift lever downward and shift to
R.
If shifting to R is difficult, shift back into neutral, release the clutch pedal, and
try again.
Manual Transaxle Shift Pattern
Neutral position
WARNING
■ Do not use sudden engine braking on slippery road surfaces or at high
speeds
Shifting down while driving on wet, snowy, or frozen roads, or while driving
at high speeds causes sudden engine braking, which is dangerous. The
sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This could lead to
loss of vehicle control and an accident.
■ Always leave the shift lever in 1 or R position and set the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle unattended
Otherwise the vehicle could move and cause an accident.
