Always slow down in gusty crosswinds.

This will allow you much better control.

Drive slowly onto curbs and, if pos-

sible, at a right angle. Avoid driving

onto high, sharp

−

edged objects and

other road hazards. Failure to do so

can lead to severe tire damage such

as a tire burst.
Drive slowly when passing over bumps

or travelling on a bumpy road. Other-

wise, the impact could cause severe

damage to the tires and/or wheels.

When parking on a hill, turn the front

wheels until they touch the curb so

that the vehicle will not roll. Apply the

parking brake, and place the transmis-

sion in “P” (automatic) or in first or

reverse (manual). If necessary, block

the wheels.

Washing your vehicle or driving through

deep water may get the brakes wet. To

see whether they are wet, check that

there is no traffic near you, and then

press the pedal lightly. If you do not

feel a normal braking force, the brakes

are probably wet. To dry them, drive

the vehicle cautiously while lightly

pressing the brake pedal with the park-

ing brake applied. If they still do not

work safely, pull to the side of the road

and call a Toyota dealer for assistance.

Four

−

wheel drive models—Toyota rec-

ommends not using four

−

wheel drive on

dry hard

−

surfaced roads, because four

−

wheel driving will cause unnecessary

noise and wear, and poor fuel econo-

my.

Four

−

wheel drive models—In cold tem-

peratures, noise may occur when driv-

ing in two

−

wheel drive before the trans-

fer is warmed up. Therefore, first drive

in four

−

wheel drive until the transfer is

warmed up.

CAUTION

Before driving off, make sure the

parking brake is fully released and

the parking brake reminder light is

off.

Do not leave your vehicle unat-

tended while the engine is running.

Do not rest your foot on the brake

pedal while driving. It can cause

dangerous overheating, needless

wear, and poor fuel economy.

To drive down a long or steep hill,

reduce your speed and downshift.

Remember, if you ride the brakes

excessively, they may overheat and

not work properly.

Be careful when accelerating, up-

shifting, downshifting or braking on

a slippery surface. Sudden accelera-

tion or engine braking could cause

the vehicle to skid or spin.

Do not continue normal driving

when the brakes are wet. If they are

wet, your vehicle will require a lon-

ger stopping distance, and it may

pull to one side when the brakes

are applied. Also, the parking brake

will not hold the vehicle securely.

NOTICE

When driving on wet roads, avoid

driving through large amounts of

standing water on the road. Large

amounts of water entering the engine

compartment may cause damage to

the engine and/or electrical compo-

nents.
