RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
NOTICE
⬛If you feel the clutch is slipping (Manual transmission vehicles)
Have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. If your

the clutch is engaged, the clutch ma y be slipping and the vehicle may no
longer be able to run.
⬛To prevent damage to the tu rbo system (Turbo vehicles)
⚫Immediately after driving at high speed or climbing on a hill, do not stop the
engine. Make sure to idle the engine for approx. 1 minute to cool down the
turbo system, and then stop the engine.
⚫Do not use any parts other than those specified for the exhaust pipes.
⚫Never alter the exhaust pipes.
⚫Never race or accelerate suddenly when the engine is cold.
⚫Make sure to change the oil periodically. ( ➞P. 418)

cause the following serious damage to the vehicle:
⚫Engine stalling
⚫Short in electrical components
⚫Engine damage caused by water immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be
sure to have your Toyota dealer check the following:

4-6. Driving tips
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropri-
ate to the prevailing weather conditions.Preparation for winter
⚫Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside temperatures.
⦁ Engine oil
⦁ Coolant
⦁ Washer fluid
⚫Have a service technician inspec t the condition of the battery.
Before driving
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
⚫Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a windshield 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 air conditioning system fan, remove
any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the
windshield.
⚫Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, around the tires or on the
brakes.
⚫Look under the vehicle and check that there are no ice blocks around
the ground. Remove any attached ice blocks with great care to avoid
damaging vehicle components. Also check that the pedals and steering
wheel move smoothly.
⚫Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before getting

2424-6. Driving tips
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
◆Performing idling stops
⚫Avoid unnecessary idling. Stop the engine when parking the vehicle to
reduce excessive fuel consumption, even it is only for a short period of
time.
⚫Except in severe environment, such as when the outside temperature is
extremely low, warming up the engine before driving is unnecessary.
Rather than idling, it is more efficient to drive the vehicle gently to warm
up each part while avoiding increasing the engine revolutions unneces-
sarily and accelerating or decelerating suddenly.
◆Luggage
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack will also cause poor fuel
economy.
◆Regular maintenance
⚫Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor fu el economy. Also, as snow tires can
cause large amounts of friction, thei r use on dry roads can lead to poor
fuel economy. Use tires that are appropriate for the season and road
conditions.
⚫Use oil and fluid of the recommended quality, which affect fuel con-
sumption and the life of the vehicle. Also, check oil and fluid periodically.
