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.

driving with tire chains - overconfi-
dence because you are driving with tire chains could easily lead to a seri-
ous accident.

■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.
