4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
*: If equipped
Each time the switch is pressed,  
the system changes between  
power mode, normal mode, and  
ECO drive mode. 
1 Normal mode
Provides an optimal balance of fuel  
economy, quietness, and dynamic per-
formance. Suitable for normal driving.
2 Power mode
Controls the transmission and engine to  
provide quick, powerful acceleration. 
Making it suitable for when agile driving 
response is desired, such as when driv-
ing on roads with many curves. 
When the power mode is selected,  
power mode indicator comes on.
3 Eco drive mode
Helps the driver accelerate in an eco- 
friendly manner and improve fuel econ-
omy through moderate throttle charac- 
teristics and by controlling the operation  
of the air conditioning system (heat-
ing/cooling). 
When the Eco drive mode is selected,  
Eco drive mode indicator comes on.
■Operation of the air conditioning  
system in Eco drive mode 
Eco drive mode controls the heat- ing/cooling operations and fan speed of  
the air conditioning system to enhance  fuel efficiency. To improve air condition-ing performance, perform the following  
operations:
●Turn off air conditioning eco mode 
(vehicles with an automatic air condi- tioning system) ( P.318)
●Adjust the fan speed (P.312, 317)
●Turn off Eco drive mode
■Automatic deactivation of power  
mode 
If the engine switch is turned off after  driving in power mode, the drive mode  
will be changed to normal mode.
Driving mode select

The driving modes can be  
selected to suit driving condi- 
tion.

dial to  . 
Perform the following operations  
accordingly:
 To adjust the fan speed, turn the

■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when  the humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning “A/C” switch is on will dehu- 
midify the air from the outlets and  defog the windshield effectively.
●If you turn “A/C” switch is off, the win-dows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recir-culated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads 
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by  
the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle  after closing the windows, it is recom-mended that the air intake mode be set  
to outside air mode and the fan speed to  any setting except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in pre-venting dirty air from entering the  
vehicle interior and helping to cool the  vehicle when the outside air tempera-ture is high.
●During cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the  
vehicle interior effectively.
■When the outside temperature falls  to nearly 0°C (32°F) 
The dehumidification function may not  operate even when “A/C” switch is pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning  
odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condition-
ing system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside 
and outside the vehicle may enter into  and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to  
be emitted from the vents.
●It is recommended that the air condi-
tioning system be set to outside air  mode prior to turning the vehicle off.

This feature is used to prevent ice  
from building up on the windshield  
and wiper blades. 
Press the switch to turn the system  
on/off.
The indicator comes on when the sys- 
tem is on. 
The windshield wiper de-icer will auto- 
matically turn off after approximately 15 
minutes.
WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from  fogging up 
Do not use the windshield defogger  switch during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The differ- 
ence between the temperature of the  outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the  
windshield to fog up, blocking your  vision.
■When the outside rear view mir-ror defoggers are operating (if equipped) 
Do not touch the outside rear view  mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge 
Do not leave the air conditioning sys- 
tem on longer than necessary when  the engine is off.

Maintenance and care
1Pull the hood lock release lever.
The hood will pop up slightly.
2Push the auxiliary catch lever to  
the left and lift the hood.
WARNING
●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, consult a doctor.
■When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille 
Be sure the engine switch is OFF. With the engine switch in ON, the electric cooling fan may automatically  
start to run if the air conditioning is on  and/or the coolant temperature is high. ( P.357)
■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.

If the level is on or below the “L” line,  
add coolant up to the “F” line. ( P.442)
■Coolant selection 
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Cool- ant” or a similar high quality ethylene  
glycol based non-silicate, non-amine,  non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology. 
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a  mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion-ized water. (Minimum temperature: - 
35°C [-31°F]) 
For more details about coolant, contact  any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota  
authorized repairer, or any reliable  repairer.
■If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing 
Visually check the radiator, hoses,  engine coolant reservoir caps, drain cock and water pump. 
If you cannot find a leak, have any  authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable  
repairer, test the cap and check for leaks  in the cooling system.
Check the radiator, condenser clear  
away any foreign objects. If either  
of the above parts is extremely dirty  
or you are not sure of their condi- 
tion, have your vehicle inspected by  
any authorized Toyota retailer or  
Toyota authorized repairer, or any  
reliable repairer.
WARNING
■When the engine is hot 
Do not remove the engine coolant  
reservoir cap. ( P.443) 
The cooling system may be under  pressure and may spray hot coolant if  
the cap is removed, causing serious  injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant 
Coolant is neither plain water nor  straight antifreeze. The correct mix- 
ture of water and antifreeze must be  used to provide proper lubrication, corrosion protection and cooling. Be  
sure to read the antifreeze or coolant  label.
■If you spill coolant 
Be sure to wash it off with water to  prevent it from damaging parts or  
paint.
Checking the radiator, con-

1Stop the vehicle in a safe place  
and turn off the air conditioning 
system, and then stop the  
engine. 
2 If you see steam: Carefully lift  
the hood after the steam sub- 
sides. 
If you do not see steam: Care- 
fully lift the hood.

WARNING
●When working with the battery,  always wear safety glasses and  
take care not to allow any battery  fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing or the vehicle  
body.
●Do not lean over the battery.
●In the event that battery fluid comes  into contact with the skin or eyes,  
immediately wash the affected area  with water and seek medical atten-tion. Place a wet sponge or cloth  
over the affected area until medical  attention can be received.
●Always wash your hands after han-dling the battery support, terminals, and other battery-related parts.
●Do not allow children near the bat-tery.
■When replacing the battery
●When the vent plug and indicator  
are close to the hold down clamp,  the battery fluid (sulfuric acid) may leak.
●For information regarding battery replacement, contact any autho- 
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota  authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables 
When connecting the jumper cables,  
ensure that they do not become  entangled in the cooling fan or engine drive belt.
If  your vehicle overheats
The following may indicate that  
your vehicle is overheating.
 The engine coolant tempera- 
ture gauge ( P.85, 89) is in  
the red zone or a loss of  
engine power is experienced.  
(For example, the vehicle  
speed does not increase.)
