●Use  fluids  that  are  appropriate  t o  the  prevailing  outside  tempera-
tures.  • Engine oil
• Engine/power control unit coolant
• Washer fluid
● Have  a  service  technician  inspect  the  condition  of  the  12-volt  bat-
tery.
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set  of tire
chains for the front tires.
Ensure  that  all  tires  are  the  specified  size  and  brand,  and  tha t  chains
match the size of the tires.
Perform the following according  to the driving conditions: 
● Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is fr ozen.
Pour  warm  water  over  the  frozen  area  to  melt  the  ice.  Wipe  away
the water immediately to p revent it from freezing. 
● To  ensure  proper  operation  of  the  climate  control  system  fan,
remove  any  snow  that  has  accumulated  on  the  air  inlet  vents  in
front of the windshield. 
● Check for and remove any excess ic e or snow that may have accu-
mulated  on  the  exterior  lights,  vehicle’s  roof,  chassis,  around  the
tires or on the brakes.

Before driving the vehicle 

3444-6. Driving tips
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to roa d con-
ditions. 
● Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting  the
parking brake. The parking brake  may freeze up, preventing it from
being  released.  If  the  vehicle  is  parked  without  setting  the  pa rking
brake, make sure t o block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerou s because it may cause the vehi-
cle to move unexpectedly, pos sibly leading to an accident.
● If  the  vehicle  is  parked  without   setting  the  parking  brake,  confirm
that the shift lever c annot be moved out of P
*.
*: The  shift  lever  will  be  locked  if  it  is  attempted  to  be  shifte d  from  P  to  any
other position without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift  lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a problem with the shift lock syst em. Have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
Vehicles with 16 and 17-inch tires
