 Use fluids that are appropriate to  
the prevailing out side tempera- 
tures.
• Engine oil 
• Engine coolant 
• Washer fluid
 Have a service technician  
inspect the condition of the bat-
tery. 
 Have the vehicle fitted with four  
snow tires or purchase a set of 
tire chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tire s are the same size  
and brand, and that chains match the 
size of the tires.
Winter driving tips

■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 size specified.
●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 a ll, 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 
engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before enter-
ing a curve to ensure that vehicle  control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) system. (if equipped)
●Do not use LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steering control) system.

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.
