2-9. Driving Tips
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.
• Slow down when driving in crosswinds and headwinds.
WARNING
■ Never stop the engine when going down a hill
Stopping the engine when going down a hill is dangerous. This c auses the
loss of power steering and power brake control, and may cause d amage to
the  drivetrain. Any  loss  of  steering  or  braking  control  could  c ause  an  acci-
dent.

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.

2-9. Driving Tips
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire chains, window scraper, flares, a
small shovel, jumper  cables, and a small bag of sand or salt.
Ask your Toyota dealer  to check the following:
• Have the proper ratio of ant ifreeze in the radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on P. 398.
• Inspect the battery and its cabl es. Cold reduces battery capacity.
• Use an engine oil appropriate for the lowest ambient temperatures that the vehicle w ill be driven in (P. 395).
• Inspect the ignition  system for damage and  loose connections.
• Use washer fluid made with antifreeze but do not use engine cool-
ant antifreeze for washer fluid ( P. 402).
●Do not use the parking brake in freezing weather as it may freeze. Instead,
shift to 1 or R with a manual transaxle and to P with an automa tic transaxle.
Block the rear wheels.
● Remove snow before driving. Snow left on the windshield is dang erous as it
could obstruct vision.
● Do not apply excessive force to a window scraper when removing  ice or fro-
zen snow on the mirror glass and windshield.
● Never  use  warm  or  hot  water  for  removing  snow  or  ice  from  windo ws  and
mirrors as it could result in the glass cracking.
● Drive  slowly.  Braking  performance  can  be  adversely  affected  if  snow  or  ice
adheres  to  the  brake  components.  If  this  situation  occurs,  drive  the  vehicle
slowly,  releasing  the  accelerator  pedal  and  lightly  applying  the  brakes  sev-
eral times until the brake performance returns to normal.
