Use fluids that are appropriate to
the prevailing outside tempera-
tures.
• Power control unit coolant
• Heater coolant
• Washer fluid
 Have a service technician
inspect the condition of the 12-
volt battery.
 Have the vehicle fitted with four
snow tires or purchase a set of
tire chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size
and brand, and that chains match the
size of the tires.
Perform the following according to
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary prepa-
rations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter.
Always drive the vehicle in a
manner appropriate to the pre-
vailing weather conditions.
Preparation for winter
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents. Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit specified for the snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some
wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.Failure to do so may result in the vehi-
cle being unable to be driven safely, and may cause death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being used, or 50 km/h (30 mph),
whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road sur-
faces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
steering, sudden braking and shift- ing operations that cause sudden regenerative braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before enter-ing a curve to ensure that vehicle
control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist).
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of
snow tires from any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer or legitimate
tire retailers. This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the
operation of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.

5-5. Driving tips
Driving
event that off-road driving cannot
be avoided, please observe the fol-
lowing precautions to help avoid
the areas prohibited to vehicles.
 Drive your vehicle only in areas
where off-road vehicles are per-
mitted to travel.
 Respect private property. Get
owner’s permission before enter-
ing private property.
 Do not enter areas that are
closed. Honor gates, barriers
and signs that restrict travel.
 Stay on established roads. When
conditions are wet, driving tech-
niques should be changed or
travel delayed to prevent dam-
age to roads.
WARNING
■Off-road driving precautions
Always observe the following precau- tions to minimize the risk of death or serious injury or damage to your vehi-
cle:
●Drive carefully when off the road. Do not take unnecessary risks by
driving in dangerous places.
●Do not grip the steering wheel
spokes when driving off-road. A bad bump could jerk the wheel and injure your hands. Keep both hands
and especially your thumbs on the outside of the rim.
●Always check your brakes for effec-tiveness immediately after driving in sand, mud, water or snow.
●After driving through tall grass, mud, rock, sand, water, etc., check that there is no grass, bush, paper,
rags, stone, sand, etc. adhering or trapped to the underbody. Clear off any such matter from the under-
body. If the vehicle is used with these materials trapped or adhering to the underbody, a breakdown or
fire could occur.
●When driving off-road or in rugged
terrain, do not drive at excessive speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike objects, etc. This may cause
loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. You are also risking expensive damage
to your vehicle’s suspension and chassis.
NOTICE
■To prevent water damage
Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the traction battery, EV system or other
components does not occur.
●Water entering the motor compart- ment may cause severe damage to
the EV system.
●Water entering the transmission will
cause deterioration in transmission quality. The vehicle may not be driv-able.
●Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting
and premature failure, and may also enter the transmission case, reducing the gear oil’s lubricating
qualities.
■When you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check the depth of the water and the bottom
of the riverbed for firmness. Drive slowly and avoid deep water.

■Ventilation and air conditioning
odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condition-
ing system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside
and outside the vehicle may enter into and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to
be emitted from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occur-
ring: • It is recommended that the air condi-tioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off. • The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time
immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.

3 To stop the operation, press the
“OFF” switch.
If the fan speed setting or air flow
modes are operated, the automatic
mode indicator goes off. However,
automatic mode for functions other
than that operated is maintained.
■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and the ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow immediately after the automatic mode
switch is pressed.
Cool air may blow around the upper body even when the heater is on due to
sunlight.
To turn on the “SYNC” mode, per-
form any of the following proce-
dures:
 Press the “SYNC” mode switch.
WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use the windshield defogger
switch during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The differ-ence between the temperature of the
outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
■To prevent burns
●Do not touch the outside rear view mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot and burn you.
●Vehicles with windshield wiper de-icer: Do not touch the glass at lower
part of the windshield or to the side of the front pillars when the wind-shield wiper de-icer is on.
NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-charge
Do not leave the air conditioning sys- tem on longer than necessary when the EV system is off.

defogging may be insufficient due to the power being restricted more than during
Remote Air Conditioning
System
The Remote Air Conditioning
System uses electrical energy
stored in the traction battery
and allows the air conditioning
to be operated by remote con-
trol.
If the Remote Air Conditioning
System is used while the
charging cable is connected to
the vehicle, the reduction of
charge in the traction battery
will be suppressed to allow
you to use electricity from an
external power source.
Charging will be conducted auto-
matically after the Remote Air
Conditioning System is stopped.

dren and pets left inside the vehicle may suffer heatstroke dehydration or hypothermia, or could result in
death or serious injury.
●Depending on the surrounding envi-
ronment, signals from the wireless switch may transmit further than expected. Pay appropriate attention
to the vehicle’s surroundings and use the switch only when neces-sary.
●Do not operate “A/C” if the hood is open. The air conditioning may
operate unintentionally and objects may be drawn into the electrical cooling fan.
