5-6. Driving tips
CAUTION
■
Driving with tire chains
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.
●
Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being
used, or 30 mph (50 km/h), whichever is lower.
●
Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes.
●
Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting
operations that cause sudden regenerative braking.
●
Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle con-
trol is maintained.
■
When removing snow and ice from cooling fan
Please turn the power switch off. Also, if you are in the middle of charging
the vehicle, please stop charging. With the power switch in ACCESSORY or
ON mode, or charging, there is a possibility of the cooling fan suddenly
beginning to turn and the danger of hands, clothes, etc. being caught in the
fan, resulting in serious injury.
NOTICE
■
Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from Scion dealers or legiti-
mate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the opera-
tion of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
■
Fitting tire chains
The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function correctly
when tire chains are fitted.
■
When the cooling fan freezes
Do not run the cooling for a long time in the frozen state.
The heating effect not only becomes weak, but there is a possibility of dam-
aging the cooling fan.
