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
in the vehicle.

When driving the vehicle
⚫Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and the
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road conditions.
⚫During snowfall or cold weather, water adhering to the brake system
may freeze, and the brakes may become less effective. If brake perfor-
mance is poor, paying close attention to the surrounding safety, lightly
depress the brake pedal several times to confirm that the brakes work
properly until their effectiveness is restored.
⚫When driving on snowy roads, snow attached to the back of the wheel
wells freezes and may grad ually accumulate, making it difficult to steer.
Check that there is no abnormal build-up of snow from time to time. The
lights may become dark due to snow during driving, so make sure that
there is no abnormal build-up of snow from time to time.
When parking the vehicle
⚫The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released. For
continuously variable transmission vehicles, set the shift lever to P. For
the manual transmission vehicles, set the shift lever to R on a downhill,
and set it to the gear 1 on an uphill to park. Do not apply the parking
brake at this time, and make sure to use wheel chocks.
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an unforeseen accident.
⚫When you park the continuously variable transmission vehicle without
applying the parking brake, confirm that the shift lever will not move*
with the shift lever being placed in P.
*The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any other
position without depressing the brake pe dal. If the shift lever can be shifted,
there may be a problem with the shift lo ck system. Have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer immediately.

WARNING
⬛When the brakes freeze
If normal braking is not restored, have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer immediately.
⬛Caution when parking
When parking without applying the parking brake, be sure to use wheel
chocks. Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an unforeseen accident.
NOTICE
⬛When removing ice from the windshield and windows
Do not hit and break the ice.
The glass may crack.
⬛When the doors, windshield wipers, windshield, or windows freeze
⚫Thaw the ice by applying lukewarm water.
Hot water may damage or deform components.
⚫If the windshield wipers, outside rear view mirrors, or windows are forcibly
activated while frozen or when snow is strongly attached, the wiper rubber
may be damaged or the motor may break.
⬛Repairing or replacing snow tires (veh icles with the tire pressure warning
system)
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from Toyota dealers or legiti-
mate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the operation
of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
⬛Fitting tire chains (vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function correctly
when tire chains are fitted.

Eco-friendly driving tips
For improved fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions, pay atten-
tion to the following points:
◆Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration.
Gradual acceleration and deceleration will help reduce excessive fuel con-
sumption.
◆When braking
Observe conditions in front of and around the vehicle, and estimate your
stopping position. Release the accele rator pedal early and continue coast-
ing. Use the brake pedal to adjust your stopping position.
Make sure to operate the brake pedal gently.
◆Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at traffic
lights, will lead to bad fuel economy. Check traffic reports before leaving
and avoid delays as much as possible.
◆Highway driving
Control and maintain the vehicle at a constant speed. Before stopping at a
toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the accelerator pedal
and gently apply the brakes.
◆Air conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help
reduce excessive fuel consumption.
In summer: When the ambient temper ature is high, use the recirculated
air mode. Doing so will help to redu ce the burden on the air conditioning
system and reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Turn the A/C switch on on ly when both heating and dehumidify-
ing are needed, and if only heating is needed, turn the A/C switch off.
Turning the A/C switch on when unnece ssary leads to excessive fuel con-
sumption.

RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
NOTICE
✽: If equipped
⬛When using a high pressure car wash
⚫Do not splash water directly to the cameras✽ or their surrounding area using
a high-pressure washer during a car wash. The high water pressure adds
stress and may prevent the equipment from working properly.
⚫Do not bring the nozzle tip close to the coupling parts, boots (rubber or resin
covers) and connectors of the following parts.
The parts may be damaged if they come into contact with high pressure
water.
⦁ Drive system parts
⦁ Steering parts
⦁ Suspension parts
⦁ Brake parts
⚫Resin parts, such as moldings and bumpers, may be deformed and dam-
aged, so keep the cleaning nozzle at le ast 30 cm (11.9 in.) away from the
vehicle body. Also, do not continuous ly spray water in the same place.
⚫Do not spray the lower part of the windshield continuously. If water enters
the air conditioning system intake loca ted there, the air conditioning system
may not operate correctly.

6-2. Maintenance
Maintenance requirements
To ensure safe and economical driving, day-to-day care and regular
maintenance are essential. Toyota recommends the following main-
tenance:
General maintenance
General maintenance should be performed on a daily basis. This can be
done by yourself or by a Toyota dealer. Scheduled maintenance
⚫Scheduled maintenance should be performed at specified intervals
according to the maintenance schedule.
The interval for scheduled maintenance is determined by the odometer reading or
the time interval, whichever comes first, shown in the schedule.
Maintenance beyond the last period should be performed at the same intervals.
⚫Where to go for maintenance service?
It makes good sense to take your vehicle to your local Toyota dealer for maintenance
service as well as other inspections and repairs.
Toyota technicians are well-trained specialist s receiving the latest service information
through technical bulletins, service tips and in-dealership training programs. They
learn to work on Toyota before they work on your vehicle, rather than while they are
working on it. Doesn’t that seem like the best way?
Your Toyota dealer has invested a lot of money in special Toyota tools and service
equipment. It helps them to do the job better and at less cost.
Your Toyota dealer’s service department will perform all of the scheduled mainte-
nance on your vehicle re liably and economically.
Rubber hoses (for cooling and heater system, brake system and fuel system) should
be inspected by a qualified technician according to the Toyota maintenance sched-
ule.
Rubber hoses are particularly important maintenance items. Have any deteriorated
or damaged hoses replaced immediately. Note that rubber hoses will deteriorate
with age, resulting in swe lling, chafing or cracking.

Do-it-yourself maintenance
⚫What about do-it-yourself maintenance?
Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little mechanical
ability and a few basic automotive tools. Simple instructions for how to perform them
are presented in this section.
Note, however, that some maintenance task s require special tools and skills. These
are best performed by qualified technician s. Even if you are an experienced do-it-
yourself mechanic, we recommend that repairs and maintenance be conducted by
your Toyota dealer who will keep a record of maintenance on your vehicle. This
record could be helpful should you ever require Warranty Service.
⬛Does your vehicle need repairs?
Be on the alert for changes in performance and sounds, and visual tip-offs that
indicate service is needed. Some important clues are:
⚫Engine misses, stumbling or pinging
⚫Appreciable loss of power
⚫Strange engine noises
⚫A fluid leak under the vehicle (However , water dripping from the air condi-
tioning system after use is normal.)
⚫Change in exhaust sound (This may indica te a dangerous carbon monoxide leak.
Drive with the windows open and have th e exhaust system checked immediately.)
⚫Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear
⚫Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road
⚫Strange noises related to suspension movement
⚫Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal (vehi-
cles with a manual transmission), pe dal almost touches the floor, vehicle
pulls to one side when braking
⚫Engine coolant temperature continually higher than normal
If you notice any of these clues, take yo ur vehicle to your Toyota dealer as soon
as possible. Your vehicle may need adjustment or repair.
WARNING
⬛If your vehicle is not properly maintained
Improper maintenance could result in serious damage to the vehicle and pos-
sible death or serious injury.
⬛Handling of the battery
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead com-
pounds which are known to cause brain damage. Wash your hands after han-
dling. ( ➞P. 321)
