2304-6. Driving tips
4-6.Driving tips
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 or purchase a 
set of tire chains for the front 
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-
tions before driving the 
vehicle in winter. Always 
drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the pre-
vailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
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 size specified.
●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.
■Driving with tire chains
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) system.
●Do not use LDA  (Lane Depar-
ture Alert) system.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow 
tires
Request repairs or replacement of 
snow tires from Toyota dealers or 
legitimate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and 
attachment of snow tires affects 
the operation of the tire pressure 
warning valves and transmitters. 

2385-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
from entering the vehicle interior 
and helping to cool the vehicle 
when the outside  air temperature 
is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may 
automatically switch depending on 
the temperature setting or the 
inside temperature.
■Operation of the air condition-
ing system in Eco air condition-
ing mode
●In Eco air conditioning mode, the 
air conditioning system is con-
trolled as follows t o prioritize fuel 
efficiency:
• Heater and compressor operation  controlled to restrict heating/cool-
ing capacity
• Fan speed restr icted when auto-
matic mode is selected
●To improve air co nditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following 
operations:
• Turn off eco air conditioning mode  ( P.237)
• Adjust the fan speed
■When the outside temperature 
falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)
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 condi-
tioning system to the outside air 
mode.
●During use, various odors from 
inside and outside the vehicle may 
enter into and a ccumulate in the 
air conditioning system. This may 
then cause odor to be emitted 
from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from 
occurring:
• It is recommended that the air 
conditioning system be set to out-
side air mode prior to turning the 
vehicle off.
• The start timing  of the blower may 
be delayed for a short period of  time immediately after the air con-
ditioning system is started in auto-
matic mode.
●When parking, the system auto-
matically switches to outside air 
mode to encourage better air cir-
culation throughout the vehicle, 
helping to reduce odors that occur 
when starting the vehicle.

2706-2. Maintenance
The OBD system determines 
that a problem exists some-
where in the emission control 
system. Your vehicle may not 
pass the I/M test and may need 
to be repaired. Contact your 
Toyota dealer to service the 
vehicle.
When the battery is discon-
nected or discharged
Readiness codes that are set 
during ordinary driving are erased.
Also, depending on your driving 
habits, the readiness codes may 
not be completely set.
When the fuel tank cap is 
loose
The malfunction indicator lamp 
comes on indicating a temporary 
malfunction and your vehicle may 
not pass the I/M test.
The error code in the OBD sys-
tem will not be cleared unless 
the vehicle is driven 40 or more 
times.
Contact your Toyota dealer to 
prepare the vehicle for re-test-
ing.
Emission inspection 
and mainte nance (I/M) 
programs
Some states have vehicle 
emission inspection pro-
grams which include OBD 
(On Board Diagnostics) 
checks. The OBD system 
monitors the operation of 
the emission control sys-
tem.
If the malfunc tion indica-
tor lamp comes on
Your vehicle may not pass 
the I/M test in the follow-
ing situations:
When the malfunction 
indicator lamp still 
remains on after several 
driving trips
If your vehicle does not 
pass the I/M test

Maintenance and care
●When the engine is new, for 
example directly after purchasing 
the vehicle or after replacing the 
engine
●If low quality oil or oil of an inap-
propriate viscosity is used
●When driving at high engine 
speeds or with a heavy load, or 
when driving while accelerating or 
decelerating frequently
●When leaving the engine idling for 
a long time, or when driving fre-
quently through heavy traffic
The coolant level is satisfactory 
if it is between the “MAX” and 
“MIN” lines on the reservoir 
when the engine is cold.
Reservoir
“MAX” line
“MIN” line
If the level is on or below the “MIN” 
line, add coolant  up to the “MAX” 
line. ( P.362)
■Coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life 
Coolant” or a similar high quality 
ethylene glycol ba sed non-silicate, 
non-amine, non-nitrite, and 
non-borate coolant with long-life 
hybrid organic acid technology.
U.S.A.:
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is 
a mixture of 50% c oolant and 50% 
deionized water. (Minimum tem-
WARNING
■Used engine oil
●Used engine oil  contains poten-
tially harmful contaminants 
which may cause skin disorders 
such as inflammation and skin 
cancer, so care should be taken 
to avoid prolonged and 
repeated contact. To remove 
used engine oil from your skin, 
wash thoroughly with soap and 
water.
●Dispose of used oil and filters 
only in a safe an d acceptable 
manner. Do not dispose of used 
oil and filters in household trash, 
in sewers or onto the ground.
Call your Toyota dealer, service 
station or auto parts store for 
information concerning recy-
cling or disposal.
●Do not leave used engine oil 
within the rea ch of children.
NOTICE
■To prevent serious engine 
damage
Check the oil level on a regular 
basis.
■When replacing the engine oil
●Be careful not to spill engine oil 
on the vehicle components.
●Avoid overfilling, or the engine 
could be damaged.

Maintenance and care
■Adding fluid
1 Slide and lift up the rubber 
strip to partly remove it as 
shown.
2 Disconnect the claws and 
remove the service cover.
3 Remove the reservoir cap.
4 Add brake fluid slowly while 
checking the fluid level.
Make sure to check the fluid 
type and prepare the necessary 
item.
 Fluid typeFMVSS No.116 DOT 3 or SAE 
J1703 brake fluid
Item
Clean funnel
■Brake fluid can absorb moisture 
from the air
Excess moisture in the brake fluid 
can cause a dangerous loss of brak-
ing efficiency. Use only newly 
opened brake fluid.
Check the battery as follows.
■Battery exterior
Make sure that the battery termi-
nals are not corroded and that 
there are no loose connections, 
cracks, or loose clamps.
WARNING
■When filling the reservoir
Take care as brake fluid can harm 
your hands and eyes and damage 
painted surfaces.
If fluid gets on your hands or in 
your eyes, flush the affected area 
with clean water immediately.
If you still experi ence discomfort, 
see a doctor.
NOTICE
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level 
to go down slight ly as the brake 
pads wear out or when the fluid 
level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent 
refilling, there m ay be a serious 
problem.
