(such as excessively worn tires
on a snow covered road).
●The vehicle hydroplanes while
driving at high speed on wet or
slick roads.
■Stopping distance when the
ABS is operating may exceed
that of normal conditions
The ABS is not designed to
shorten the vehicle’s stopping dis-
tance. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from the vehicle in front of
you, especially in the following sit-
uations:
●When driving on d irt, gravel or
snow-covered roads

Directional control and power may
not be achievable while driving on
slippery road surfaces, even if the
TRAC system is operating. Do not
drive the vehicle in conditions
where stability and power may be
lost.
■When the VSC and/or brake
LSD function is activated
The slip indicator flashes. Always
drive carefully. Reckless driving
may cause an accident. Exercise
particular care wh en the indicator
flashes.
■When the TRAC/VSC systems
are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at
a speed appropriate to the road
conditions. As these are the sys-
tems to help ensure vehicle stabil-
ity and driving force, do not turn
the TRAC/VSC systems off
unless necessary.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the
specified size, brand, tread pat-
tern and total load capacity. In
addition, make sure that the tires
are inflated to the recommended
tire inflation p ressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC sys-
tems will not functi on correctly if
different tires are installed on the
vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for fur-
ther information when replacing
tires or wheels.

Use fluids that are appropriate
to the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician
inspect the condition of the
battery.
 Have the vehicle fitted with
four snow tires.

tires are the sa me size, same
maker, same brand and tread pat-
tern.
Perform the following according
to the driving conditions:
 Do not try to forcibly open a
window or move a wiper that
is frozen. 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 accumulated on the air
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.

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,
and that are the same size,
same maker, same brand and
tread pattern.
●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.

chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud
from the bottom of your shoes
before getting in the vehicle.
 If a door is opened and closed
when its side window is fro-
zen, the window safety device
will operate and the side win-
dow open/close function
linked to door operation may
not operate correctly.
If this occurs, perform the fol-
lowing after the ice has
melted.
1 Open the window to the
approximately half open posi-
tion with the door closed.
2 Press and hold the power
window switch in the
one-touch opening position.
After the window is fully
opened, continue pressing
the switch for approximately
1 second.
3 Pull and hold the power win-
dow switch in the one-touch
closing position. After the
window is fully closed, con-
tinue pulling the switch for
approximately 1 second.
The window position wil lbe reset
and the operation of the window
safety device will be canceled.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly,
keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead, and
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.

Park the vehicle and shift the
shift lever to P (automatic
transmission), or 1 or R (man-
ual transmission) without set-
ting the parking brake. The
parking brake may freeze up,
preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is
parked without setting the
parking brake, make sure to
block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dan-
gerous because it may cause
the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly, possibly leading to an
accident.
 Vehicles with an automatic
transmission: If the vehicle is
parked without setting the
parking brake, confirm that
the shift lever cannot be
moved out of P
*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is
attempted to be sh ifted from P to
any other position without
depressing the brake pedal. If the
shift lever can be shifted from P,
there may be a problem with the
shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.

When parking the vehicle

2684-7. Driving tips
Tire chains cannot be used on
your vehicle because of the lack
of clearance between the tires
and vehicle body.
When tire chains cannot be
used, use of another type of
traction device (such as spring
chains) may be acceptable if
use on your vehicle is recom-
mended by the device manufac-
turer, taking into account tire
size and road conditions. Follow
the device manufacturer's
instructions, especially regard-
ing maximum vehicle speed.
To help avoid damage to your
vehicle, drive slowly, readjust or
remove the device if it is con-
tacting your vehicle, and do not
spin your wheels. Damage
caused to your vehicle by use of
a traction device is not covered
under warranty.
Make certain that any traction
device you use is an SAE class
“S” device, and use it on the rear
wheels only. Always use the
utmost care when driving with a
traction device. Overconfidence
b e c a u s e y o u a r e u s i n g a t r a c t i o n
device could easily lead to a
serious accident.
We recommend that you consult
your Toyota dealer for informa-tion about the chains that you
can use.
