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.

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.

Maintenance and care
“UPPER LEVEL” line
“LOWER LEVEL” line
If the fluid level is at or below the
“LOWER LEVEL” line, add distilled
water.
■Adding distilled water
1 Remove the vent plug.
2 Add distilled water.
If the “UPPER LEVEL” line cannot be seen, check the fluid level by looking
directly at the cell.
3 Put the vent plug back on and
close it securely.
■Before recharging
When recharging, the battery produces
hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Therefore, observe the fol- lowing before recharging:
●If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect
the ground cable.
●Make sure the power switch on the
charger is off when connecting and disconnecting the charger cables to
the battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting the
battery
The engine may not start. Follow the
procedure below to initialize the system.
1 Shift the shift lever to P (automatic
transmission) or depress the brake pedal with the shift lever in N (man-
ual transmission).
2 Open and close either door.
3 Restart the engine.
●Unlocking the doors using the smart
entry & start system may not be possi-
ble immediately after reconnecting the battery. If this happens, use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical
key to lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the engine with the engine
switch in ACC. The engine may not start with the engine switch turned off.
However, the engine will operate nor-
mally from the second attempt.
●The engine switch mode is recorded
by the vehicle. If the battery is discon- nected and reconnected, the vehicle
will return the engine switch mode to
the status it was in before the battery was disconnected. Make sure to turn
off the engine before disconnecting
the battery. Take extra care when con- necting the battery if the engine switch
mode prior to the battery being dis-
connected is unknown.
If the engine will not start even after mul-
tiple attempts, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
