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.

■Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine 
Toyota parts be used for repairs to 
ensure performanc e of each sys-
tem. If non-Toyota parts are used in 
replacement or if a repair shop other 
than a Toyota dealer performs 
repairs, confirm the warranty cover-
age.
■Allow inspection and repairs to 
be performed by a Toyota 
dealer
●Toyota technicians are 
well-trained specialists and are 
kept up to date with the latest ser-
vice information. They are well 
informed about the operation of all 
systems on your vehicle.
●Keep a copy of the repair order. It 
proves that the maintenance that 
has been performed is under war-
ranty coverage. If any problem 
should arise while your vehicle is 
under warranty, your Toyota 
dealer will promptly take care of it.
General maintenance should be 
performed on a daily basis. This 
can be done by yourself or by a 
Toyota dealer.
Scheduled maintenance should 
be performed at specified inter-
vals according to the mainte-
nance schedule.
For details about maintenance 
items and schedules, refer to the 
“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or 
“Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
Maintenance require-
ments
To ensure safe and econom-
ical driving, day-to-day care 
and regular maintenance 
are essential. It is the 
owner’s responsibility to 
perform regular checks. 
Toyota recommends the 
maintenance below.
WARNING
■If your vehicle is not properly 
maintained
Improper maintenance could 
result in serious damage to the 
vehicle and possible death or seri-
ous injury.
■Handling of the battery
●Engine exhaust, some of its 
constituents, and a wide variety 
of automobile components con-
tain or emit chemicals known to 
the State of California to cause 
cancer and birth defects and 
other reproductive harm. Work 
in a well ventilated area.
●Oils, fuels and fluids contained 
in vehicles as well as waste pro-
duced by component wear con-
tain or emit chemicals known to 
the State of California to cause 
cancer and birth defects or 
other reproductive harm. Avoid 
exposure and wash any 
affected area immediately.
●Battery posts, terminals and 
related accessories contain lead 
and lead compounds which are 
known to cause brain damage. 
Wash your hands after han-
dling. ( P.279)

■Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is 
used in your Toyota vehicle. Use 
Toyota approved “Toyota Genu-
ine Motor Oil” or equivalent to 
satisfy the following grade and 
viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-6B multi-
grade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 
0W-16
Outside temperature
SAE 0W-16 is the best choice 
for good fuel economy and good 
starting in cold weather. If SAE 0W-16 is not available, 
SAE 0W-20 oil may be used. 
However, it must be replaced 
with SAE 0W-16 at the next oil 
change.
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained 
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 indicates 
the characteristic of the oil 
which allows cold startability. 
Oils with a lower value before 
the W allow for easier starting 
of the engine in cold weather.
• The 16 in 0W-16 indicates the  viscosity characteristic of the 
oil when the oil is at high tem-
perature. An oil with a higher 
viscosity (one with a higher 
value) may be better suited if 
the vehicle is operated at high 
speeds, or under extreme 
load conditions.
How to read oil container label:
API registered mark is added to 
some oil containers to help you 
select the oil you should use.
