tery.
Have the vehicle fitted with four
snow tires or purchase a set of
tire chains for the rear tires.
Make sure to install 4 tires that are of
the specified size, and that all 4 tires
are the same size, same maker, same
brand and tread pattern. Also, make
sure to use tire chains that match the
size of the tires.
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary prepa-
rations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter.
Always drive the vehicle in a
manner appropriate to the pre-
vailing weather conditions.
Preparation for winter
WA R N I N G
■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 specified size, and that are the same size, same
maker, same brand and tread pat-
tern.
●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
●When any of the tires are punc-
tured, you can seal the tire tempo- rarily. However, do not use the tire
chain on a sealed tire. If any of the
rear tires are punctured although it is required to use tire chains, con-
tact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the
vehicle 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 30 km/h (19 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.

The engine compartment contains
many mechanisms and fluids that may move suddenly, become hot, or
become electrically energized. To
avoid death or serious injury, observe the following precautions.

WA R N I N G
■When working on the engine
compartment
●Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fans and
engine drive belt.
●Be careful not to touch the engine,
radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right
after driving as they may be hot. Oil
and other fluids may also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper and rags, in the engine compartment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the
battery. Fuel and battery fumes are
flammable.
●Be extremely cautious when work-
ing on the battery. It contains poi- sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
●Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and dam-
age painted surfaces. If fluid gets
on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water
immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, con- sult a doctor.
■When working near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille
Be sure the engine switch is off.
With the engine switch in ON, the electric cooling fans may automati-
cally start to run if the air conditioning
is on and/or the coolant temperature is high. (P.298)
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying
or falling material, fluid spray, etc.
from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner fil-
ter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive
engine wear due to dirt in the air.
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to
go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refill-
ing, it may indicate a serious problem.

■Used engine oil
●Used engine oil contains poten-
tially harmful contaminants which may cause skin disorders such as
inflammation and skin cancer, so
care should be taken to avoid pro- longed and repeated contact. To
remove used engine oil from your
skin, wash thoro ughly with soap and water.
●Dispose of used oil and filters only in a safe and acceptable manner.
Do not dispose of used oil and fil-
ters in household trash, in sewers or onto the ground. Call any author-
ized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional, service station or auto
parts store for information concern-
ing recycling or disposal.
●Do not leave used engine oil within
the reach of children.
NOTICE
■To prevent serious engine dam-
age

Check the degree of the tire
damage.
A tire should only be repaired with
the emergency tire puncture repair
If you have a flat tire
Your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tire, but instead is
equipped with an emergency
tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or
screw passing through the tire
tread can be repaired tempo-
rarily with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit.
WA R N I N G
■If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair. Driving with a
flat tire may cause a circumferential groove on the side wall. In such a
case, the tire may explode when
using the emergency tire puncture repair kit, resulting in death or serious
injury.
