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.

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.

◆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.
