To keep driving safety and
performance, the following
systems operate automati-

driving situations. Be
aware, however, that these
systems are supplementary
and should not be relied
upon too heavily when oper-
ating the vehicle.

When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the
accelerator pedal depression
amount can be generated more
smoothly than it is in normal
conditions. In addition, the oper-
ation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be
minimized, improving the fuel
economy. ( P.316)
Eco-friendly driving is possible
by keeping the Hybrid System
Indicator within the Eco area.

Shift the shift lever to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driv-
ing in heavy traffic, etc. Shift the
shift lever to P when parking.
When using N, there is no posi-
tive effect on fuel consumption.
In N, the gasoline engine oper-
ates but electricity cannot be
generated. Also, when using the
air conditioning system, etc., the hybrid battery (traction battery)
power is consumed.
Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual accel-
eration and deceleration will
make more effective use of
the electric motor (traction
motor) without having to use
gasoline engine power.
Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration con-
sumes hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) power, resulting
in poor fuel consumption. Bat-
tery power can be restored by
driving with the accelerator
pedal slightly released.
Make sure to operate the brakes
gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical
energy can be regenerated
when slowing down.
Repeated acceleration and
deceleration, as well as long
waits at traffic lights, will lead to
bad fuel economy. Check traffic
reports before leaving and avoid
delays as much as possible.

HIGHLANDER HV_U
When replacing tires on a vehi-
cle with wheel lock nuts, use the
following procedures to remove
and install the wheel lock nuts.
The wheel lock key is stored in
the tray inside the luggage com- partment. Always return the
wheel lock key to its original
position after use, so that it does
not get lost. (
P.475)
■Removal
For ease of removal, the wheel
lock nut should always be the
first one loosened.
1 Place the wheel lock key on
top of the wheel lock nut,
turning until the wheel lock
key and wheel lock nut pat-
terns engage.
2 Place the wheel nut wrench
on the wheel lock key, and
while applying pressure on
the wheel lock key, loosen
the wheel lock nut.
■Installation
For ease of installation, the
wheel lock nut should always be
the last one tightened.
1 By hand, install a wheel lock
nut on each wheel.
2 Place the wheel lock key on
top of the wheel lock nut,
turning until the wheel lock
key and wheel lock nut pat-
terns engage.
3 Place the wheel nut wrench
on the wheel lock key, and
while applying pressure on
the wheel lock key, tighten
the wheel lock nut to the rec-
ommended torque.

●Put the jack prope rly in its jack
point.
●Do not put any part of your body
under the vehicle while it is sup-
ported by the jack.
●Do not start the hybrid system
or drive the vehicle while the
vehicle is suppor ted by the jack.
●Do not raise the vehicle while
someone is inside.
●When raising the vehicle, do not
put an object on or under the
jack.
●Do not raise the vehicle to a
height greater than that required
to replace the tire.
●Use a jack stand if it is neces-
sary to get under the vehicle.
●When lowering the vehicle,
make sure that there is no-one
near the vehicle. If there are
people nearby, warn them
vocally before lowering.

■Replacing a flat tire
●Do not touch the disc wheels or
the area around the brakes
immediately after the vehicle
has been driven.
After the vehicle has been
driven the disc wheels and the
area around the brakes will be
extremely hot. Touching these
areas with hands , feet or other
body parts while changing a tire,
etc. may result in burns.
●Failure to follow these precau-
tions could cause the wheel
nuts to loosen and the tire to fall
off, resulting in death or serious
injury.
• Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the
wheel nuts to be excessively
tightened, leading to bolt or disc
wheel damage. In addition, the
oil or grease can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the
wheel may fall off, causing an
accident and resulting in death
or serious injury. Remove any
oil or grease from the wheel
bolts or wheel nuts.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 76 ft•lbf
(103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m) as soon
as possible after changing
wheels.
• When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been spe-
cifically designed for that wheel.
• If there are any cracks or defor-
mations in the bolt screws, nut
threads or bolt holes of the
wheel, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
• Do not attach a heavily dam-
aged wheel ornament, as it may
fly off the wheel while the vehi-
cle is moving.
●Observe the fo llowing precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
serious injury:
• Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due
care in handling the ornament to
avoid unexpected personal
injury.
• Lower the spare tire completely to the ground before removing it
from under the vehicle.
■Replacing a flat tire for vehi-
cles with power back door
In cases such as when replacing
tires, make sure to turn off the
power back door main switch
( P.526). Failure to do so may
cause the back door to operate
unintentionally if the power back
door switch is accidentally
touched, resulti ng in hands and
fingers being caught and injured.
