Preparation for winter

■

●

Driving with tire chains

 Use fluids that are appropriate to

the prevailing outside tempera-

tures.

When any of the tires are punc-

tured, you can seal the tire tempo-

rarily. However, do not use the tire

chain on a sealed tire. If any of the

rear tires are punctured although it

is required to use tire chains, con-

tact any authorized Toyota dealer or

repairer, or another duly qualified

and equipped professional.

ꢀ Engine oil

ꢀ Engine coolant

ꢀ Washer fluid

 Have a service technician

inspect the condition of the bat-

tery.

●

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.

 Have the vehicle fitted with four

snow tires or purchase a set of

tire chains for the rear tires.

ꢀ Do not drive in excess of the speed

limit specified for the tire chains

being used, or 30 km/h (19 mph),

whichever is lower.

Make sure to install 4 tires that are of

the specified size, and that all 4 tires

are the same size, same maker, same

brand and tread pattern. Also, make

sure to use tire chains that match the

size of the tires.

ꢀ Avoid driving on bumpy road sur-

faces or over potholes.

ꢀ Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt

steering, sudden braking and shift-

ing operations that cause sudden

engine braking.

 If a door is opened and closed

when its side window is frozen,

the window safety device will

operate and the side window

open/close function linked to

door operation may not operate

correctly. If this occurs, perform

the following after the ice has

melted.

WARNING

Always use the utmost care when

driving with tire chains - overconfi-

dence because you are driving with

tire chains could easily lead to a seri-

ous accident.

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.

After opening the window to the

approximately half open position,

perform initialization. (P.126)

When driving the vehicle

Before 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.

Perform the following according to

the driving conditions:

 Do not try to forcibly open a win-

dow or move a wiper that is fro-

zen. Pour warm water over the

frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe

away the water immediately to

prevent it from freezing.

When parking the vehicle

 Park the vehicle and shift the

shift lever to P (automatic trans-

mission), or 1 or R (manual

transmission) without setting the

parking brake. The parking brake

may freeze up, preventing it from

being released. If the vehicle is

parked without setting the park-

ing brake, make sure to block the

wheels.

 To ensure proper operation of

the climate control system fan,

remove any snow that has accu-

mulated on the air inlet vents in

front of the windshield.

 Check for and remove any

excess ice or snow that may

have accumulated on the exte-

rior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis,

around the tires or on the brakes.

Failure to do so may be danger-

ous because it may cause the

vehicle to move unexpectedly,

possibly leading to an accident.

 Remove any snow or mud from

the bottom of your shoes before

getting in the vehicle.

 Vehicles with an automatic trans-
