4-7. Driving tips
DrivingPerform the following according to
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.
 If a door is opened and closed
when its side window is frozen,
the window safety device will
operate and the side window
open/close function linked to
door operation may not operate
correctly. If this occurs, perform
the following after the ice has
melted.
After opening the window to the
approximately half open position,
perform initialization. ( P.126)
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep
a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a
reduced speed suitable to road
conditions.
 Park the vehicle and shift the
shift lever to P (automatic trans-
mission), or 1 or R (manual
transmission) with out setting the
parking brake. The parking brake
may freeze up, preventing it from
being released. If the vehicle is
parked without setting the park-
ing 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.

WA R N I N G
Always use the utmost care when
driving with tire chains - overconfi-
dence because you are driving with tire chains could easily lead to a seri-
ous accident.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from Toyota dealers 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.

mission: If the vehicle is parked
without setting the parking brake,
confirm that the shift lever cannot
be moved out of P*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is
attempted to be shifted from P to any
other position without depressing the
brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a prob-
lem with the shift lock system. Have
the vehicle inspected by any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota author-
ized repairer, or any reliable repairer
or legitimate tire retailers immedi-
ately.
We recommend that you consult
any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional for infor-
mation about the chains that you
can use.
Regulations regarding the use of
tire chains vary depending on loca-
tion and type of road. Always check
local regulations before installing
chains.
■Tire chain installation
Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains:
●Install and remove tire chains in a safe location.
●Install tire chains on the rear tires. Do not install tire chains on the front tires.
●Install tire chains on rear tires as
tightly as possible. Retighten chains after driving approximately 100 m
(328 ft.).
●Install tire chains following the instruc-
tions provided with the tire chains.

request that a record of maintenance
be kept.
■Does your vehicle need repairs?
Be on the alert for changes in perfor- mance and sounds, and visual tip-offs
that indicate service is needed. Some
important clues are:
●Engine missing, stumbling or pinging
●Appreciable loss of power
●Strange engine noises
●A fluid leak under the vehicle (How-
ever, water dripping from the air con- ditioning system after use is normal.)
●Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monox-
ide leak. Drive with the windows open
and have the exhaust system checked immediately.)
●Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire
wear
●Vehicle pulls to one side when driven
straight on a level road
●Strange noises related to suspension
movement
●Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy
feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal
(vehicles with a manual transmission),
pedal almost touches the floor, vehicle pulls to one side when braking
●Engine coolant temperature continu-ally higher than normal ( P. 8 8 )
If you notice any of these clues, take
your vehicle to any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer as soon as possi-
ble. Your vehicle may need adjustment or repair.

Maintenance and care
Current fluid level
Check if the treadwear indicators
are showing on the tires. Also
check the tires for uneven wear,
such as excessive wear on one
side of the tread.
Check the spare tire condition and
pressure if not rotated.
New tread
Worn tread
Treadwear indicator
The location of treadwear indicators is
shown by a “TWI” or “ ” mark, etc.,
molded into the sidewall of each tire.

■When adding washer fluid
Do not add washer fluid when the
engine is hot or running as washer fluid contains alcohol and may catch
fire if spilled on the engine, etc.
NOTICE
■Do not use any fluid other than
washer fluid
Do not use soapy water or engine antifreeze instead of washer fluid.
Doing so may cause streaking on the
vehicle’s painted surfaces, as well as damaging the pump leading to prob-
lems of the washer fluid not spraying.
■Diluting washer fluid
Dilute washer fluid with water as nec-
essary.
Refer to the freezing temperatures listed on the label of the washer fluid
bottle.

3026-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Replace the tires if the treadwear indi-
cators are showing on a tire.
■When to replace your vehicle’s
tires
Tires should be replaced if:
●The treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.
●You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose
the fabric, and bulges indicating inter-
nal damage
●A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot
be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
■Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if
it has seldom or never been used or
damage is not obvious.
■Low profile tires
Generally, low profile tires will wear
more rapidly and tire grip performance
will be reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when compared to standard tires.
Be sure to use snow tires or tire chains
on snowy and/or icy roads and drive
carefully at a speed appropriate for road and weather conditions.
■If the tread on snow tires wears
down below 4 mm (0.16 in.)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.
WA R N I N G
■When inspecting or replacing
tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage
to parts of the drive train as well as dangerous handling characteristics,
which may lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury.
●Make sure to insta ll 4 tires that are
of the specified size, and that all 4
tires are the same size, same maker, same brand and tread pat-
tern.
●Do not use tire sizes other than
those recommended by Toyota.
●Only use radial tires.
●Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires.
●Do not use tires that have been used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know
how they were used previously.
NOTICE
■Low profile tires
Low profile tires may cause greater
damage than usual to the tire wheel when sustaining impact from the road
surface. Therefore, pay attention to
the following:
●Be sure to use proper tire inflation
pressure. If tires are under-inflated, they may be damaged more
severely.
●Avoid potholes, uneven pavement,
curbs and other road hazards. Fail-
ure to do so may lead to severe tire and wheel damage.

Maintenance and care
Rotate the tires in the order shown.
Front
To equalize tire wear and extend tire
life, Toyota recommends that tire rota-
tion is carried out at the same interval
as tire inspection.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure warning system that uses
tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters to detect low tire infla-
tion pressure before serious prob-
lems arise.
 The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can
be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
 If the tire pressure drops below a
predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a screen display and
a warning light. ( P.342)
■Routine tire inflation pressure
checks
The tire pressure warning system does
not replace routine tire inflation pressure
checks. Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine of daily
vehicle checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display
the tire inflation pressure after the
engine switch is turned to ON. It may also take a few minutes to display the
tire inflation pressure after inflation
NOTICE
■If tire inflation pressure of each
tire becomes low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on
roads with loose surfaces or potholes.
These conditions may cause losses in
tire inflation pressure, reducing the cushioning ability of the tires. In addi-
tion, driving on rough roads may
cause damage to the tires them- selves, as well as the vehicle’s
wheels and body.

pressure has been adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with
temperature. The displayed values
may also be different 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.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is
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 tires not equipped with 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. • When driving near a TV tower, electric
power plant, gas station, radio station,
large display, airport or other facility
that generates 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 ma y 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.
■Warning performance of the tire
pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure warning system will change in accordance with
driving conditions. For this reason, the
system may give a warning even if the tire pressure does not reach a low
enough level, or if the pressure is higher
than the pressure that was adjusted to when the system was initialized.
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 warn-
ing computer and the tire pressure
warning system must be initialized.
Have tire pressu re warning valve
and transmitter ID codes regis-
tered by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
( P. 3 0 6 )
■Replacing 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
