can help reduce excessive
fuel consumption.
In summer: When the ambient
temperature is high, use the
recirculated air mode. Doing
so will help to reduce the bur-
den on the air conditioning
system and reduce fuel con-
sumption as well.
In winter: Avoid excess heat-
ing. Use the seat heater (if
equipped) or steering heater
(if equipped) to minimize the
need for cabin heating
(P.342).
Using eco air conditioning
mode, this helps curb fuel
consumption even with the air
conditioning system turned
on. ( P.326, 334)
Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure frequently.
Improper tire inflation pressure
can cause poor fuel economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause
large amounts of friction, their
use on dry roads can lead to
poor fuel economy. Use tires
that are appropriate for the sea-
son.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead
to reduced fuel economy. Install-
ing a large roof rack will also reduce fuel economy.

5-6.Driving tips
Use washer fluid that is
appropriate to the prevailing
outside temperatures.
Have a service technician
inspect the condition of the
12-volt battery.
Have the vehicle fitted with
four snow tires or purchase a
set of tire chains for the rear
tires.
Ensure that all tires are the speci-
fied size and brand, and that chains
match the size of the tires.
Perform the following according
to the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a
window or move a wiper that
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary
preparations and inspec-
tions before driving the
vehicle in winter. Always
drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the pre-
vailing weather conditions.
Preparation for winter
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so m ay result in a
loss of vehicle control and cause
death or serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended
level of air pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75
mph (120 km/h), regardless of
the type of snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, 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
vehicle being unable to be driven
safely, and may cause death or
serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the
speed limit specifi ed for the tire
chains being used, or 30 mph
(50 km/h), whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road
surfaces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration,
abrupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that
cause sudden regenerative
braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before
entering a curve to ensure that
vehicle control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist) system.
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.
