Before Driving
■Arming
The system is armed when the
ignition is switched from ON to
off.
The security indicator light in
the combination meter flashes
every 2 seconds until the sys-
tem is disarmed.
■Disarming
The system is disarmed when the ignition is switched ON with the
correct programmed key. The security indicator light illuminates for
about 3 seconds and then turns off. If the engine does not star t with
the correct key, and the security indicator light remains illuminated
or flashing, try the following:
Make sure the key is within the operational range for signal tr ans-
mission. Switch the ignition of f, and then restart the engine. If the
engine does not start after 3 or more tries, contact your Toyota
dealer.
● The engine may not start and security indicator light may illum inate or flash
if the key is placed in an area where it is difficult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the dashboard or in the glove compartment. M ove the
key to a location within the signal range, switch the ignition off, and then
restart the engine.
● Signals from a TV or radio station, or from a transceiver or mo bile telephone
could interfere with your immobilizer system. If you are using the proper key
and the engine fails to start, check the security indicator light.
● If the security indicator light flashes continuously while you are driving, do
not shut off the engine. Go to your Toyota dealer and have it checked. If the
engine is shut off while the indicator light is flashing, you w ill not be able to
restart it.
● Because the electronic codes are reset when the immobilizer sys tem is
repaired, the keys are needed. Make sure to bring all the keys to your Toy-
ota dealer so that they can be programmed.

Saving Fuel and Protection of the Environment
How you operate your Toyota determines how far it will travel o n a
tank of fuel. Use these suggesti ons to help save fuel and reduce CO2.
• Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine runs smoothly, begin driv -
ing.
• Avoid fast starts.
• Drive at lower speeds.
• Anticipate when to apply the br akes (avoid sudden braking).
• Follow the maintenance schedule and have your Toyota dealer pe r-
form inspections and servicing.
• Use the air conditioner only when necessary.
• Slow down on rough roads.
• Keep the tires properly inflated.
• Do not carry unnecessary weight.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
• Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
• Keep windows clos ed at high speeds.

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. 215.
• If you get stuck, select a lower gear and accelerate slowly. D o not
spin the front wheels.
• For more traction in starting on slippery surfaces such as ice or
packed snow, use sand, rock sal t, 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 slipper y 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 s kid. This
could lead to loss of vehicle control and an accident.

2-9. Driving Tips
Floor Mat
When setting a floor mat, position
the floor mat so that its grommets
are inserted over the pointed end
of the retention posts.
Use only floor mats designed specifically for vehicles of the
same model and model year as your vehicle.
WARNING
■Make sure the floor mats are hooked on the retention pins to pr event
them from bunching up under the foot pedals
Using a floor mat that is not secured is dangerous as it will i nterfere with the
accelerator and brake pedal operation, which could result in an accident.
■ Do not install two floor mats, one on top of the other, on the driver’s
side
Installing two floor mats, one on top of the other, on the driv er’s side is dan-
gerous as the retention pins can only keep one floor mat from s liding for-
ward.
If using an all weather mat for winter use always remove the or iginal floor
mat.
Loose floor mat(s) will interfere with the foot pedal and could result in an
accident.
