the driving conditions:
 Do not try to forcibly open a win-
dow or move a wiper that is fro-
zen. Pour warm water over the
frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe
away the water immediately to
prevent it from freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of
the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accu-
mulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
 Check for and remove any
excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the exte-
rior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis,
around the tires or on the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud from
the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep
a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a
reduced speed suitable to road
conditions.
 Turn automatic mode of the park-
ing brake off. Otherwise, the
parking brake may freeze and
not be able to be released auto-
matically.
Also, avoid using the following as the
parking brake may operate automati-
cally, even if automatic mode is off.
• Brake hold system
• Remote parking function
 Park the vehicle and shift the
shift position to P without setting
the parking brake. The parking
brake may freeze up, preventing
it from being released. If the
vehicle is parked without setting
the parking brake, make sure to
block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be danger-
ous because it may cause the
vehicle to move unexpectedly,
possibly leading to an accident.
When the parking brake is in
automatic mode, release the
parking brake after shifting the
shift position to P. ( P.255)
 If the vehicle is parked without
setting the parking brake, con-
firm that the shift position cannot
be moved out of P.
 If the vehicle is left parked with
the brakes damp in cold tem-
peratures, there is a possibility of
the brakes freezing.

also take a few minutes to display the
tire inflation pressure after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature.The displayed values may also be dif-
ferent from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.
■Situations in which the tire pres-sure warning system may not oper-
ate properly
●In the following cases, the tire pres-
sure warning system may not operate properly.• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are
used. • A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equipment)
tire. • A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains etc. are equipped. • If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, particularly around the wheels or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely higher than the specified level.
• If wheels without tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are used.• If the ID code on the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters is not registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
●Performance may be affected in the following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-play, airport or other facility that gen-
erates strong radio waves or electrical noise• When carrying a portable radio, cellu-
lar phone, cordless phone or other wireless communication device
If tire position information is not correctly
displayed due to the radio wave condi-
tions, the display may be corrected by
driving and changing the radio wave
conditions.
●When the vehicle is parked, the time taken for the warning to start or go off could be extended.
●When tire inflation pressure declines rapidly for example when a tire has
burst, the warning may not function.
When replacing tires or wheels, tire
pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters are installed, new ID
codes must be registered in the tire
pressure warning computer and the tire
pressure warning system must be ini-
tialized. ( P.484)
■When replacing the tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter is not regis- tered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. After driving for
about 10 minutes, the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute and
stays on to indicate a system malfunc- tion.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
When using a flat-bed truck to
transport the vehicle, use tire strap-
ping belts. Refer to the owner’s
manual of the flat-bed truck for the
tire strapping method.
In order to suppress vehicle move-
ment during transportation, set the
parking brake and turn the power
switch off.
If a tow truck is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables or
chains secured to the emergency
towing eyelets. This should only be
attempted on hard surfaced roads
for short distances at under 30
km/h (18 mph).
A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles,
steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
WARNING
AWD models
Be sure to transport the vehicle with
all four wheels raised off the ground. If
the vehicle is towed with the tires con-
tacting the ground, the drivetrain or
related parts may be damaged, the
vehicle may fly off the truck, or elec-
tricity generated by the operation of
the motor may cause a fire to occur
depending on the nature of the dam-
age or malfunction.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
when towing using a wheel-lift type truck
●Right-hand drive vehicles: Do not
tow the vehicle from the rear when the power switch is OFF. The steer-ing lock mechanism is not strong
enough to hold the front wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for tow-ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear- ance, the vehicle could be dam-aged while being towed.
■Towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck to prevent body damage.
