sary, remove snow and ice from
the window. Do not open the door
with force.
Hot exhaust gas system
WARNING
High temperatures can occur
underneath the body, for instance
caused by the exhaust gas sys-
tem, while driving. Contact with
the exhaust gas system can
cause burns. The re is a risk of
injury. Do not touch the hot
exhaust gas system, including the
exhaust pipe.
WARNING
If combustible materials, such as
leaves or grass, come in contact
with hot parts of the exhaust gas
system, these materials can
ignite. There is a risk of fire and
injuries. Do not r emove the heat
shields installed and never apply
undercoating to them. Make sure
that no combustible materials can
come in contact with hot vehicle
parts in driving operation, idle or
during parking.

2604-1. DRIVING TIPS
When visibility is poor due to
fog, even if it is daytime, turn the
low beam headlights on to make
your vehicle more visible to
other vehicles, etc. Drive with
caution at a low speed, using
the centerline, guardrails, tail-
lights of a preceding vehicle,
etc., as guide.When the vehicle is being blown
by crosswinds, drive at a lower
speed and grip the steering
wheel stronger than normal.
The vehicle is especially sus-
ceptible to crosswinds when
exiting a tunnel or underpass,
when driving on a bridge or
embankment, or when passing
or being passed by a truck or
other large vehicle.

During a rain storm or when
the road surface is wet, the
road surface may be slippery
and visibility may be reduced.
In this case, turn the low
beam headlights on to make
your vehicle more visible to
Mobile communication
devices in the vehicle
WARNING
Vehicle electronics and mobile
phones can influence one
another. There is radiation due to
the transmission operations of
mobile phones. There is a risk of
injury or risk of
damage to prop-
erty. If possible, in the car's inte-
rior use only mobile phones with
direct connections to an exterior
antenna in order to exclude
mutual interference and deflect
the radiation from the car's inte-
r i o r.

2624-1. DRIVING TIPS
perforated brake discs can emit
functional noises. However,
functional noises have no effect
on the performance and opera-
tional reliability of the brake.
When roads are wet, salted, or
in heavy rain, gently press the
brake pedal every few miles.
Ensure that this action does not
endanger other traffic.
The heat generated during brak-
ing dries brake discs and brake
pads and protects them against
corrosion.
In this way braking efficiency will
be available when you need it.
■General information
Drive long or steep downhill gra-
dients in the gear that requires
least braking effort. Otherwise,
the brakes may overheat and
reduce brake efficiency.
You can increase the engine's
braking effect by shifting down,
going all the way to first gear, if
needed.
■Safety information
Corrosion on the brake discs
and contamination on the brake
pads are increased by the fol-
lowing circumstances:
 Low mileage.
 Extended periods when the
vehicle is not used at all.
Objects in the area around
the pedals
WARNING
Objects in the dri
ver's floor area
can limit the peda l distance or
block a depressed pedal. There is
a risk of an accident. Stow objects
in the vehicle such that they are
secured and cannot enter into the
driver's floor area. Use floor mats
that are suitable for the vehicle
and can be safely attached to the
floor. Do not use loose floor mats
and do not layer several floor
mats. Make sure that there is suf-
ficient clearance for the pedals.
Ensure that the floor mats are
securely fastened again after they
were removed, fo r instance for
cleaning.
Driving in wet conditions
Hills
WARNING
Light but consis tent brake pres-
sure can lead to high tempera-
tures, brakes wearing out and
possibly even brake failure. There
is a risk of an accident. Avoid
placing excessive stress on the
brake system.
WARNING
In idle state or with the engine
switched off, safety functions, for
instance engine braking effect,
braking assistance and steering
assistance, may not be available.
There is a risk of accident. Do not
attempt to drive in idle state or
with the engine switched off.

2644-1. DRIVING TIPS
Additional weight increases fuel
consumption.
Attached parts on the vehicle
impair the aerodynamics and
increase the fuel consumption.
Open windows increase air
resistance and therefore lead to
greater fuel consumption.
Tires can affect consumption in
various ways, for instance tire
size may influence consump-
tion.
Check and, if needed, correct
the tire inflation pressure at least
twice a month and before start-
ing on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure
increases rolling resistance and
thus raises fuel consumption
and tire wear.Do not wait for the engine to
warm-up while the vehicle
remains stationary. Start driving
right away, but at moderate
engine speeds.
This is the quickest way of
warming the cold engine up to
operating temperature.
Driving smoothly and proactively
reduces fuel consumption.
Avoid unnecessary acceleration
and braking.
By maintaining a suitable dis-
tance to the vehicle driving
ahead of you.
Driving at low engine speeds
lowers fuel consumption and
reduces wear.
If necessary, observe the vehi-
cle's gear shift indicator, refer to
page 148.
When approaching a red light,
take your foot off the accelerator
and let the vehicle coast to a
halt.
For going downhill take your foot
off the accelerator and let the

vehicle roll.
The flow of fuel is interrupted
while coasting.
Switch off the engine during lon-
ger stops, for instance at traffic
lights, railroad crossings or in
traffic congestion.
The Auto Start/Stop function of
the vehicle automatically
switches off the engine during a
stop.
If the engine is switched off and
then restarted rather than leav-
ing the engine running con-
stantly, fuel consumption and
emissions are reduced. Sav-
ings can begin within a few sec-
onds of switching off the engine.
In addition, fuel consumption is
also determined by other fac-
tors, such as driving style, road
conditions, maintenance or envi-
ronmental factors.
Functions such as seat heating
and the rear window defroster require a lot of energy and
increase fuel consumption,
especially in city and
stop-and-go traffic.
Switch off these functions if they
are not needed.
Have the vehicle maintained
regularly to achieve optimal
vehicle efficiency and service
life. Toyota recommends that
maintenance work be performed
by Toyota.
