Supra Owner's Manual4-1. DRIVING HINTS
DRIVING HINTS
When visibility is poor due to fog,
even if it is daytime, turn the low
beam headlights on to make your
vehicle more visible to other vehi-
cles, etc. Drive with caution at a low
speed, using the centerline, guard-
rails, taillights of a preceding vehi-
cle, etc., as guide.
When the vehicle is being blown by
crosswinds, drive at a lower speed
and grip the steering wheel
stronger than normal.
The vehicle is especially suscepti-
ble to crosswinds when exiting a
tunnel or underpass, when driving on a bridge or embankment, or
when passing or being passed by a
truck or other large vehicle.
During a rain storm or when the
road surface is wet, the road sur-
face may be slippery and visibil-
ity may be reduced. In this case,
turn the low beam headlights on
to make your vehicle more visi-
ble to other vehicles, etc.
Increase the distance between
your vehicle and preceding vehi-
cles and drive safely at a lower
speed than normal, avoiding
sudden acceleration, braking or
steering operations.
Use the rear defroster and air
conditioning system to prevent
the windows from fogging up.
Hydroplaning is more likely to
occur when driving on ruts or
through large puddles.
On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of
water can form between the tyres
and the road. Driving in inclement weather

When it is raining
Aquaplaning

270
Supra Owner's Manual4-1. DRIVING HINTS
This situation, known as aquaplan-
ing, means that the tyre can actu-
ally lose contact completely with
the road surface and the vehicle
can neither be steered, nor the
brakes properly applied.
Please comply with the following
when driving through water:
Only drive through still water.
Only drive through water up to a
max. depth of 25 cm, 9.8 in.
Drive through water at a walking
speed of no more than 5 km/h, 3
mph.
The vehicle is equipped with the
Anti-lock Brake System ABS as
standard.
Perform full braking in situations that require it.
The vehicle remains steerable. Any
obstacles can be avoided by per-
forming steering movements as
smoothly as possible.
A pulsing of the brake pedal and
hydraulic regulating sounds indi-
cate that the Anti-lock Brake Sys-
tem ABS is regulating.
In certain braking situations, the
perforated brake discs can cause
functional noise. However, func-
tional noises have no effect on the
efficiency and operational safety of
the brakes.
In damp weather, on gritted roads
and in heavy rain, apply the brakes
lightly every few kilometres/miles. Driving through water
General
Safety note
NOTICE
Driving through excessively deep
water too fast can result in water
entering the engine compartment,
electrical system or transmission.
There is a danger of damage to prop-
erty. When driving through water, do
not exceed the maximum water depth
and speed specified above.
Safe braking
General
Objects in the range of movement
of the pedals
WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell can
restrict the pedal travel or block a
pedal that has been pressed. There is
a danger of accidents. Stow items in
the vehicle so that they are secure
and cannot get into the driver's
footwell. Only use floor mats that are
suitable for the vehicle and can be
securely fastened to the floor. Do not
use loose floor mats, and do not place
several floor mats on top of one
another. Make sure that there is suffi-
cient space for the pedals. Ensure
that floor mats are securely reat-
tached after having been removed, for
example for cleaning.

DRIVING HINTS
Ensure that you do not obstruct
other road users when doing so.
The heat generated by braking
dries the brake discs and brake
pads and protects them against
corrosion.
This way, brake power is available
immediately, whenever it is needed.
■General
When driving on long or steep
downhill stretches, use the gear in
which the least braking is required.
Otherwise the brake system can
overheat and the braking effect is
reduced.
Engine braking effect can be addi-
tionally increased by manually shift-
ing down, even into first gear, if
applicable.
■Safety notesCorrosion of the brake discs and
contamination of the brake pads
increase in the following circum-
stances:
Low mileage.
Extended periods when the vehi-
cle is not used.
Infrequent use of the brakes.
Aggressive, acidic or alkaline
cleaning agents.
Should corrosion form on the brake
discs, the brakes will tend to
respond with a judder effect that
generally cannot be eliminated.
When the automatic air condition-
ing is in operation, condensation
develops and exits underneath the
vehicle.
The higher mechanical and thermal
loads involved in driving on racing Downhill gradients
WARNING
Even slight continuous pressure on
the brake pedal can cause overheat-
ing, brake pad wear or even brake
system failure. There is a danger of
accidents. Avoid excessive loads on
the brake.
WARNING
When idling or with the engine
switched off, safety-relevant func-
tions are restricted or no longer avail-
able, for example the braking effect of
the engine or power assistance for
the braking force and steering. There
is a danger of accidents. Do not drive
at idle speed or with the engine
switched off.

A tyre's condition and inflation pres-
sure influence the following:
• Lifetime of the tyre.
• Driving safety.
• Driving comfort.
• Fuel consumption.The tyre inflation pressures are
shown on the door pillar of the
driver's door.
The tyre inflation pressure data
applies to the tyre sizes and recom-
mended tyre makes which have
been classified by the vehicle man-
ufacturer as suitable for the respec-
tive vehicle type.
If the tyre's speed code cannot be
found, then the tyre inflation pres-
sure for the corresponding tyre size
applies.

General
Safety note
WARNING
A tyre with too little or no tyre inflation
pressure can heat up significantly and
sustain damage. Driving properties,
for example steering and braking, will
be impaired as a result. There is a
danger of accidents. Check the tyre
inflation pressure regularly and adjust
as necessary, for example twice a
month or before any long journey

In the event of a complete loss of
tyre inflation pressure, run-flat tyres
enable you to continue driving, with
certain restrictions.
The wheels are fitted with tyres
which are self-supporting to a lim-
ited degree. They may also have
special rims.
The reinforced side wall means that
the tyre keeps the vehicle mobile to
a degree even if tyre inflation pres-
sure has been lost.
Observe the notes on continuing to
drive with a flat tyre.The tyres are identified on the tyre's
side wall by RSC Runflat System
Component.
• Park the vehicle on a firm sur-
face and as far away from mov-
ing traffic as possible.
• Switch on the hazard warning
lights.
• Apply the parking brake to pre-
vent the vehicle rolling away.
• Engage the steering wheel lock
with the wheels in the
straight-ahead position.
• Have all vehicle occupants get
out of the vehicle and guide them
out of the danger area, for exam-
ple behind the crash barrier.
• Set up the warning triangle an
appropriate distance away.
Run-flat tyres
Principle
General
Safety notes
WARNING
A run-flat tyre which has low tyre infla-
tion pressure or no tyre inflation pres-
sure at all will change the vehicle's
handling characteristics, for example
there may be reduced directional sta-
bility when braking, longer braking
distances and different self-steering
characteristics. There is a danger of
accidents. Drive with care and do not
exceed a speed of 80 km/h, 50 mph.

With the Mobility System, minor
tyre damage can be quickly sealed,
to allow you to drive on. For this
purpose, liquid sealant is pumped
into the tyres which encloses the
damage from the inside when it
hardens.
• Please observe the notes on the
application of the Mobility Sys-
tem which are on the compres-
sor and the sealant container.
• Applying the Mobility System can
be ineffective for tyre damage
larger than approximately 4 mm.
• Contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer if
you are unable to put the tyre
back in operation.
• If possible, foreign matter that
has penetrated the tyre should
remain inside the tyre. Only
remove foreign objects if they
are visibly protruding from the
tyre.
• Remove the speed limit sticker
from the sealant container and
attach to the steering wheel.
• Using sealants can damage the
TPM wheel electronics. In this
case, have the electronics
replaced at the next opportunity.• The compressor can be used to
check the tyre inflation pressure.
The Mobility System is located in the
right storage compartment of the boot.
