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.

When Driving
■Passing
For extra power when passing another vehicle or climbing steep
grades, depress the accelerator fully. The transaxle will shift to a
lower gear, depending on vehicle speed.
Some models:
The accelerator pedal may initially feel heavy as it is being d epressed,
then feel lighter as it is depressed further. This change in pe dal force
aids the engine control system in determining how much the acce lerator
pedal has been depressed for performing kickdown, and functions to
control whether or not kickdown should be performed.
■
Climbing steep gra des from a stop
To climb a steep grade from a stopped position: Depress the brake pedal.
Shift to D or M1, depending on the load weight and grade steep-
ness.
Release the brake pedal wh ile gradually accelerating.
■Descending steep grades
When descending a steep grade, shift to lower gears, depending on
load weight and grade steepnes s. Descend slowly, using the
brakes only occasionally to p revent them from overheating.
Driving Tips
WARNING
■Do not let the vehicle move in a direction opposite to the direction
selected by the selector lever
Do not let the vehicle move backward with the selector lever in a forward
position, or do not let the vehicle move forward with the selec tor lever in the
reverse position. Otherwise, the engine may stop, causing the loss of the
power brake and power steering f unctions, and make it difficult to control
the vehicle which could result in an accident.

3-8. Drive Selection
Drive Selection (Automatic Transaxle)
●When the sport mode is selected, driving at higher engine speed s increases
and it may increase fuel consumption. Toyota recommends that you cancel
the sport mode on normal driving.
● Drive mode cannot be switched in the following conditions:
• ABS/TCS/DSC is operating
• Cruise control is operating.
• Steering wheel is being operated abruptly
Press the drive selection switch to
the side (forward) to select
the sport mode.
Pull the drive selection switch to
the side (backward) to cancel
the sport mode.
●In the following cases, the drive selection is canceled.
• The ignition is switched OFF.
• Cruise control is set.
● Depending on the driving conditions when sport mode is selected , the vehi-
cle may perform shift-down or slightly accelerate.
Drive selection is a system to switch the vehicle’s drive mode.
When the sport mode is selected, vehicle’s response against
accelerator operation is enhanc ed. This provides additional
quick acceleration which may be needed to safely make maneu-
vers such as lane changes, merging onto free ways, or passing
other vehicles.
WARNING
Do not use the sport mode when driving on slippery roads such a s wet or
snow-covered roads. It may cause tire slipping.
