2004-2. Driving procedures
Owners Manual_USA_M0C031_en
*1: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suit-
able for the driving conditions. 
Setting the shift lever to the D 
position is recommended for nor-
mal driving.
*2: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of 
the possible gear ranges, con-
trols engine brak ing force, and 
prevents unnecessary upshifting.
■Driving on a downhill
On declines, there may be case 
where the vehicle  shifts down auto-
matically to obtain engine braking. 
As a result of the  downshifting, the  engine speed may increase.
■To protect the a
utomatic trans-
mission
●If the tires spin continually when 
the vehicle becomes stuck in mud, 
dirt or snow, or if the accelerator 
pedal is depressed and released 
repeatedly while driving, the auto-
matic transmission temperature 
may become too high and the 
automatic transmission may be 
damaged.
To avoid damaging the automatic 
transmission, the system may 
temporarily lock the gear. If the 
automatic transmission tempera-
ture falls, the gear  locking is can-
celed and the automatic 
transmission is returned to the 
normal operation.
●If the automatic tr ansmission fluid 
temperature is high, “Transmis-
sion Oil Temp. High Stop in a Safe 
Place and See Owner’s Manual” 
will be displayed on the multi-
information display. Immediately 
stop the vehicle in a safe place, 
shift the shift lever to P and wait 
until the warning message go off. 
If the warning message go off, you 
may start the vehicle again. If the 
warning message do not go off, 
contact your Toyota dealer.
■When driving with dynamic 
radar cruise control with full-
speed range (if  equipped) or 
cruise control activated (if 
equipped)
Even when perform ing the following 
actions with the intent of enabling 
engine braking, engine braking will 
not activate because dynamic radar 
cruise control with full-speed range 
or cruise control  will not be can-
celed.
●While driving in S mode, down-
shifting to 9, 8,  7, 6, 5 or 4.

Owners Manual_USA_M0C031_en
Use fluids that are appropriate 
to the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.
• Engine oil
• Engine/power control unit coolant
• Washer fluid
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
*.
*: Tire chains cannot be mounted 
on 285/65R18 tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same 
size and brand, and that chains 
match the size of the tires.
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary 
preparations and inspec-

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.
●4WD models: Do not mix tires of 
different makes, models, tread 
patterns or treadwear.
■Driving with tire chains (vehi-
cles without 285/65R18 tires)
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 engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before 
entering a curve to ensure that 
vehicle control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing 
Assist) (if equipped) system.

■Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine 
Toyota parts be used for repairs to 
ensure performanc e of each sys-
tem. If non-Toyota parts are used in 
replacement or if a repair shop other

dealer
●Toyota technicians are well-
trained specialists and are kept up 
to date with the  latest service 
information. They are well 
informed about the operation of all 
systems on your vehicle.
●Keep a copy of the repair order. It 
proves that the maintenance that 
has been performed is under war-
ranty coverage. If any problem 
should arise while your vehicle is 
under warranty, your Toyota 
dealer will promptly take care of it.
General maintenance should be 
performed on a daily basis. This 
can be done by yourself or by a 
Toyota dealer.
Scheduled maintenance should 
be performed at specified inter-
vals according to the mainte-
nance schedule.
For details about maintenance 
items and schedules, refer to the 
“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or 
“Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
