1-4. SRS Air Bags
WARNING
■Do not touch the components of t he supplemental restraint system
after the air bags have inflated
Touching the components of the supplemental restraint system after the air
bags have inflated is dangerous. Immediately after inflation, t hey are very
hot. You could get burned.
■ Never install any front-end equipment to your vehicle
Installation of front-end equipment, such as frontal protection bar (kangaroo
bar, bull bar, push bar, or other similar devices), snowplow, o r winches, is
dangerous. The air bag crash sensor system could be affected. T his could
cause air bags to inflate unexpectedly, or it could prevent the air bags from
inflating during an accident. Front occupants could be seriously injured.
■ Do not modify the suspension
Modifying the vehicle suspension is dangerous. If the vehicle’s height or the
suspension is modified, the vehicle will be unable to accurately detect a col-
lision or roll-over accident resulting in incorrect or unexpect ed air bag
deployment and the possibility of serious injuries.
■ To prevent false detection by t he air bag sensor system, heed t he fol-
lowing
● Do not use tires or wheels other than those specified for your To y o t a :
Use of any tire or wheel other than those specified for your To yota (P. 553)
is dangerous. Use of such wheels will prevent the vehicle’s acc ident detec-
tions system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over accident result-
ing in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the possi bility of
serious injuries.
● Do not overload your vehicle:
Overloading your vehicle is dangerous as it could prevent the a ir bag
crash sensor system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over acci-
dent resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment an d the pos-
sibility of serious injuries. The gross axle weight rating (GAW R) and the
gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your vehicle are on the Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard Label on the driver’s door frame. Do not exceed
these ratings.
● Do not drive the vehicle off-road:
Driving your Toyota off-road is dangerous because the vehicle h as not
been designed to do so. Driving the vehicle off-road could prevent the air
bag crash sensor system from accurately detecting a collision o r roll-over
accident resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deploymen t and the
possibility of serious injuries.

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
■Use snow tires on all four wheels
Do not go faster than 75 mph (120 km/h) while driving with snow
tires. Inflate snow tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2, 4.3 psi) more than rec-
ommended on the tire pressure label (driver’s door frame), but
never more than the maximum cold-tire pressure shown on the
tires.
The vehicle is originally equipped with all season radials desi gned
to be used all year around. In some extreme climates you may fi nd
it necessary to replace them wit h snow tires during the winter
months to further improve tracti on on snow and ice covered road s.
Check local regulations before using tire chains.
Install the chains on the front tires only.
Do not use chains o n the rear tires.
Please consult your Toyota dealer.
■Installing the chains
If your vehicle is equipped with wheel covers remove them, oth-
erwise the chain bands will scratch them.
Secure the chains on the front tires as tightly as possible.
Always follow the chain manuf acturer’s instructions.
Retighten the chains after dri ving 1/4—1/2 mile (1/2—1 km).
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure monitoring s ystem, the
system may not function correctly when using tire chains.
Snow Tires
WARNING
■Use only the same size and type tires (snow, radial, or non-rad ial)
on all four wheels
Using tires different in size or type is dangerous. Your vehicl e’s handling
could be greatly affected and result in an accident.
NOTICE
Check local regulations before using studded tires.

3-12. Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Because this system detects slight changes in tire conditions, the timing
of the warning may be faster o r slower in the following cases:
●The size, manufacturer, or the type of tires is different from the specifica-
tion.
●The size, manufacturer, or the type of a tire is different from the others,
or the level of tire wear is excessively differe nt between them.
●A run-flat tire, studless tire, s now tire, or tire chains are used.
●An emergency tire is used (The t ire pressure monitoring system warning
light may flash and then continue illuminating).
●A tire is repaired using the e mergency flat tire repair kit.
●The tire pressure is excessively higher than the specified pres sure, or
the tire pressure is suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tire
burst during driving.
●The vehicle speed is lower than about 9.3 mph (15 km/h) (includ ing
when the vehicle is stopped), or the drive period is shorter than 5 min-
utes.
●The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.
●Hard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as
during aggressive driving on a winding road.
●Load on the vehicle is applied to a tire such as by loading hea vy luggage
to one side o f the vehicle.
●System initialization has not bee n implemented with the specified tire
pressure.

When Driving
NOTICE
●Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehi cle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire i nflation pressure label, you sh ould deter-
mine the proper tire inflati on pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS ) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly u nder-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and i nflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-i nflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-infla-
tion also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling an d stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire m ainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s r esponsibility to maintain correc t tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trig ger
illumination of the TPMS lo w tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction ind ica-
tor to indicate when the syste m is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator i s combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash
for approximately one minute an d then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle star t-ups
as long as the malfunction exists . When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning pr operly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your veh icle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to functi on prop-
erly.
●To avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before
indicating a problem. As a res ult it will not instantaneously register a
rapid tire deflation or blow out.

3-12. Tire Pressure Monitoring System
In the following cases, system initialization must be performed so that
the system operates normally. • A tire pressure is adjusted.
• Tire rotation is performed.
• A tire or wheel is replaced.
• The battery is replaced or completely drained.
• The tire pressure m onitoring system warning light is illuminated.
■Initialization method
Park the car in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.
Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure of all four (4) tires
to the specified pressure indicated on the tire pressure label
located on the door jamb of t he driver’s door (door open).
Refer to Tires on P. 553.
Switch the ignition ON.
While the vehicle is parked,
press and hold the tire pres-
sure monitoring system set
switch and verify that the tire
pressure monitoring system
warning light in the combina-
tion meter flashes twice and
a beep sound is heard once.

NOTICE
If the system initialization is performed without adjusting the tire pres-
sure, the system cannot detect th e normal tire pressure and it may not
illuminate the tire pre ssure monitoring system warning light ev en if a tire
pressure is low, or it may illuminate the light even if the pre ssures are
normal.
Adjust the tire pressure on all four tires and initialize the s ystem when
the warning light is turned on. If the warning light turns on f or a reason
other than a flat tire, the tire pressure of all four tires may have
decreased naturally.
The system initialization will not be performed if the switch i s pressed
while the vehicle is being driven.
