4-6. Driving tips
Driving
a traffic jam, gently release the
brake pedal to allow the vehicle to
move forward slightly while avoid-
ing overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control
excessive gasoline consumption.
Control and maintain the vehicle at
a constant speed. Before stopping
at a toll booth or similar, allow
plenty of time to release the accel-
erator and gently apply the brakes.
A greater amount of electrical
energy can be regenerated when
slowing down.
Use the air conditioning only when
necessary. Doing so can help
reduce excessive gasoline con-
sumption.
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recircu-
lated air mode. Doing so will help to
reduce the burden on the air condi-
tioning system and reduce fuel con-
sumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasoline
engine will not automatically cut out
until it and the interior of the vehicle
are warm, it will consume fuel. Also,
fuel consumption can be improved
by avoiding overuse of the heater.
Make sure to check the tire inflation
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 econ-
omy. Use tires that are appropriate
for the season.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a
large roof rack will also cause poor
fuel economy.
Since the gasoline engine starts up
and cuts out automatically when
cold, warming up the engine is
unnecessary. Moreover, frequently
driving short distances will cause
the engine to repeatedly warm up,
which can lead to excess fuel con-
sumption.

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.
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 without 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.
If the vehicle is parked without
setting the parking brake, con-
firm that the shift lever cannot be
moved out of P*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is
attempted to be shifted from P to any
other position without depressing the
brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a prob-
lem with the shift lock system. Have
the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer
or legitimate tire retailers immedi-
ately.
Use the correct tire chain size when
mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each tire
size.
Side chain (3 mm [0.12 in.] in
diameter)
Cross chain (4 mm [0.16 in.] in
diameter)

6-1. Maintenance and care
6-1.Mainte nance a nd care
Working from top to bottom, lib-
erally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside
of the vehicle to remove any dirt
and dust.
Wash the vehicle body using a
sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
For hard-to-remove marks, use
car wash soap and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
Wipe away any water.
Wax the vehicle when the water-
proof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean sur-
face, apply wax when the vehicle body
is cool.
■Automatic car washes
●Before washing the vehicle: • Fold the mirrors.
Start washing from the front of the vehi-
cle. Extend the mirrors before driving.
●Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle sur-
face, parts (wheel, etc.) and harm your vehicle’s paint.
●In certain automatic car washes, the rear spoiler (if equipped) may interfere with machine operation. This may pre-
vent the vehicle from being cleaned
properly or result in damage to the
rear spoiler.
■High pressure car washes
As water may enter the cabin, do not bring the nozzle tip near the gaps
around the doors or perimeter of the windows, or spray these areas continu-ously.
■When using a car wash (vehicles
with a smart entry & start system)
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective
range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the fol-lowing correction procedures to wash
the vehicle:
●Place the key in a position 2 m (6 ft.)
or more separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is
not stolen.)
●Set the electronic key to battery-sav-
ing mode to disable the smart entry & start system. ( P.141)
■Wheels and wheel ornaments (if equipped)
●Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent.
●Wash detergent off with water immedi-ately after use.
●To protect the paint from damage, make sure to observe the following
precautions. • Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive detergent
• Do not use hard brushes • Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, such as after driv-
ing or parking in hot weather
■Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
■Plated portions (if equipped)
If dirt cannot be removed, clean the
parts as follows:
●Use a soft cloth dampened with an
approximately 5% solution of neutral detergent and water to clean the dirt

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
●Keep back from the tire while it is
being repaired, as there is a chance
of it bursting while the repair opera-
tion is being performed. If you
notice any cracks or deformation of
the tire, turn (off) the compres-
sor switch and stop the repair oper-
ation immediately.
●The repair kit may overheat if oper- ated for a long period of time. Do
not operate the repair kit continu- ously for more than 40 minutes.
●Parts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful when handling the repair kit during and
after operation. Do not touch the metal part around the connecting area between the bottle and com-
pressor. It will be extremely hot.
●Do not attach the vehicle speed
warning sticker to an area other than the one indicated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an
SRS airbag is located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may prevent the SRS airbag from oper-
ating properly.
●To avoid risk of burst or severe
leakage, do not drop or damage the bottle. Visually inspect the bottle before use. Do not use a bottle with
shock, crack, scratch, leakage or any other damage. In such case, immediately replace.
■Driving to spread the liquid seal-
ant evenly
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or serious injury.
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when
turning and cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steer-ing wheel, stop the vehicle and
check the following.
• Tire condition. The tire may have
separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire
inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3
kgf/cm2 or bar, 19 psi) or less, the tire may be severely damaged.
NOTICE
■When performing an emergency repair
●A tire should only be repaired with
the emergency tire puncture repair kit if the damage is caused by a sharp object such as nail or screw
passing through the tire tread. Do not remove the sharp object from the tire. Removing the object
may widen the opening and disena- ble emergency repair with the repair kit.
●The repair kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the repair kit is not
exposed to water, such as when it is being used in the rain.
●Do not put the repair kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the side of the road. If the repair kit
vacuums up dust etc., a malfunc- tion may occur.
●Do not turn the bottle upside down when using it, as doing so may cause damage to the compressor.
■Precautions for the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The repair kit power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use. Do not connect the repair kit to any
other source.
