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.

Maintenance and care
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pres- sure may result in the following:
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drivetrain
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor
handling
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Instructions for checking tire infla-tion pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
●Check only when the tires are cold.If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven
for more than 1.5 km or 1 mile, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
●Always use a tire pressure gauge.It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly
inflated based only on its appearance.
●It is normal for the tire inflation pres-
sure to be higher after driving as heat is generated in the tire. Do not reduce
tire inflation pressure after driving.
●Passengers and luggage weight
should be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.
WARNING
■Proper inflation is critical to save
tire performance
Keep your tires properly inflated. If the tires are not properly inflated,
the following conditions may occur which could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:
●Excessive wear
●Uneven wear
●Poor handling
●Possibility of blowouts resulting from overheated tires
●Air leaking from between tire and wheel
●Wheel deformation and/or tire dam-age
●Greater possibility of tire damage while driving (due to road hazards,
expansion joints, sharp edges on the road, etc.)
NOTICE
■When inspecting and adjusting
tire inflation pressure
Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on.
If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or moisture may get into the valve and cause an air leak, resulting in
decreased tire inflation pressure.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
■Brake hold operated indicator
■Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard due to being in a noisy location or
audio sound.
■Front passenger detection sensor, seat belt reminder and warning buzzer
●If luggage is placed on the front pas-senger seat, the front passenger
detection sensor may cause the warn- ing light to flash and the warning buzzer to sound even if a passenger
is not sitting in the seat.
●If a cushion is placed on the seat, the
sensor may not detect a passenger, and the warning light may not operate properly.
■If the malfunction indicator lamp
comes on while driving
For some models, the malfunction indi- cator lamp will come on if the fuel tank
becomes completely empty. If the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle immedi-ately. The malfunction indicator lamp will
go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possi-ble.
■Electric power steering system
warning light (warning buzzer)
When the 12-volt battery charge becomes insufficient or the voltage tem-
porarily drops, the electric power steer- ing system warning light may come on and the warning buzzer may sound.
■When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is
punctured.
If a tire is punctured: P.386, 397
If none of the tires are punctured:
Turn the power switch off then turn it to ON. Check if the tire pressure warning light comes on or blinks.
If the tire pressure warning light blinks for approximately 1 minute then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the tire pressure warning system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immedi-ately.
If the tire pressure warning light comes on
1 After the temperature of the tires has lowered sufficiently, check the infla-
tion pressure of each tire and adjust them to the specified level.
2 If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have
elapsed, check that the inflation pressure of each tire is at the speci-fied level and perform initialization.
( P.337)
■The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes such as natural air leaks and tire inflation pres-
sure changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the warning light
(after a few minutes).

NOTICE
●If fuel splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deteriorate. Take
care not to allow fuel to contact it.
●Place the repair kit in a storage to
prevent it from being exposed to dirt or water.
●Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment out of reach of chil-dren.
●Do not disassemble or modify the repair kit. Do not subject parts such
as the air pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunc-tion.
■To avoid damage to the tire pres-sure warning valves and trans-
mitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer or other qualified ser-vice shop as soon as possible. After
use of liquid sealant, make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when repairing
or replacing the tire. ( P.336)
If you have a flat tire
(vehicles with a spare
tire)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
spare tire. The flat tire can be
replaced with the spare tire.
For details about tires: P. 3 3 2
WARNING
■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, which could result in an accident.
