INFORMATION BEFORE DRIVING YOUR TOYOTA201
DYou may hear the anti−lock brake sys-
tem operating and feel the brake pedal
pulsating and the vibrations of the ve-
hicle body and steering wheel. You
may also hear the motor sound in the
engine compartment even after the ve-
hicle is stopped.
DAt the end of the anti−lock brake sys-
tem activation, the brake pedal may
movealittleforward.
CAUTION
Do not overestimate the anti−lock
brake system: Although the anti−lock
brake system assists in providing ve-
hicle control, it is still important to
drive with all due care and maintain
a moderate speed and safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you, be-
cause there are limits to the vehicle
stability and effectiveness of steering
wheel operation even with the anti−
lock brake system on.
If tire grip performance exceeds its
capability, or if hydroplaning occurs
during high speed driving in the rain,
the anti−lock brake system does not
provide vehicle control.
Anti−lock brake system is not de-
signed to shorten the stopping dis-
tance: Always drive at a moderate
speed and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you.
Compared with vehicles without an
anti−lock brake system, your vehicle
may require a longer stopping dis-
tance in the following cases:
DDriving on rough, gravel or snow−
covered roads.
DDriving with tire chains installed.
DDriving over the steps such as the
joints on the road.
DDriving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has other differ-
ences in surface height.
Install all 4 tires of specified size at
appropriate pressure: The anti−lock
brake system detects vehicle speeds
using the speed sensors for respec-
tive wheels’ turning speeds. The use
of tires other than specified may fail
to detect the accurate turning speed
resulting in a longer stopping dis-
tance.

“ABS” warning light
Vehicles without vehicle stability control
system—
The light comes on when the engine
switch is turned to the “ON” position. If
the anti−lock brake system works properly,
the light turns off after a few seconds.
Thereafter, if the system malfunctions, the
light comes on again.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti−lock brake systemdoes not operate,
but the brake system stilloperates con-
ventionally.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti−lock brake systemdoes not operate
so that the wheels could lock up during
a sudden braking or braking on slippery
road surfaces.
If either of the following conditions oc-
cur, this indicates a malfunction some-
where in the components monitored by
the warning light system. Contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional, as soon as possible to
service the vehicle.
DThe light does not come on when the

BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM
When you slam the brakes on, the
brake assist system judges as an emer-
gency stop and provides more powerful
braking for a driver who cannot hold
down the brake pedal firmly.
When you slam the brakes on, more pow-
erful braking will be applied. At this time,
you may hear a sound in the engine
compartment and feel the vibrations of the
brake pedal. This does not indicate a mal-
function.Vehicles with vehicle stability control sys-
tem—
The brake assist system becomesopera-
tive after the vehicle has accelerated to a
speed in excess of approximately 10 km/h
(6 mph). It stops operating when the ve-
hicle decelerates to a speed below
approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
For an explanation of thissystem’s warn-
ing light, see “Service reminder indicators
and warning buzzers” on page 127 in Sec-
tion 1−6.

INFORMATION BEFORE DRIVING YOUR TOYOTA207
—Engine number
MS21003a
The engine number is stamped on the
engine block as shown.Your new vehicle carries theft preven-
tion labels which are approximately 47
mm(1.85in.)by12mm(0.47in.).
The purpose of these labels is to reduce
the incidence of vehicle thefts by facilitat-
ing the tracing and recovery of parts from
stolen vehicles. The label is designed so
that once it is applied to a surface, any
attempt to remove it will result in destroy-
ing the integrity of the label. Transferring
these labels intact from one part to anoth-
er, will be impossible.NOTICE
You should not attempt to remove the
theft prevention labels.

STARTING AND DRIVING213
DAlways slow down in gusty crosswinds.
This will allow you much better control.
DDrive 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.
DWhen 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 “M(1)”, “E(1)” or “R” (multi−
mode manual transmission), or first or
reverse (manual transmission). If nec-
essary, block the wheels.
DWashing 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 any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional, for assis-
tance.
CAUTION
DBefore driving off, make sure the
parking brake is fully released and
the parking brake reminder light is
off.
DDo not leave your vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is running.
DDo not rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving. It can cause
dangerous overheating, needless
wear, and poor fuel economy.
DTo 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.
DBe 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.
DDo not continue normal driving
when the brakes are wet. If they are
wet, your vehicle will require a
longer stopping distance, and it
may pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Also, the park-
ing brake will not hold the vehicle
securely.
NOTICE
zDo not depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time dur-
ing driving. If the brake pedal is
depressed while driving with the ac-
celerator pedal depressed, driving
torque may be restrained.
zDo not use the accelerator pedal or
depress the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time to hold the
vehicle on a hill.

Tips for driving in various
conditions
Page 225 of 318

STARTING AND DRIVING215
Winter driving tips
Make sure your coolant is properly pro-
tected against freezing.
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant”
or similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non−silicate, non−amine, non−nitrite,
and non−borate coolant with long−life hy-
brid organic acid technology. (Coolant with
long−life hybrid organic acid technology is
a combination of low phosphates and or-
ganic acids.)
See “Checking the engine coolant level”
on page 267 in Section 7−2 for details of
coolant type selection.
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mix-
ture of 50% coolant and 50% deionized
water. This coolant provides protection
down to about−35_C(−31_F).
NOTICE
Do not use plain water alone.
Check the condition of the battery and
cables.
Cold temperatures reduce the capacity of
any battery, so it must be in top shape
to provide enough power for winter start-
ing. Section 7−3 tells you how to visually
inspect the battery. Any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional, will be
pleased to check the level of charge.
Make sure the engine oil viscosity is
suitable for the cold weather.
See page 264 in Section 7−2forrecom-
mended viscosity. Leaving a heavy sum-
mer oil in your vehicle during winter
months may make starting harder. If you
are not sure about which oil to use, call
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped
professional, they will be pleased to help.
Keep the door locks from freezing.
Squirt lock de−icer or glycerine into the
locks to keep them from freezing.Use a washer fluid containing an anti-
freeze solution.
This product is available at any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer and most auto
parts stores or another qualified profes-
sional. Follow the manufacturer ’s direc-
tions for how much to mix with water.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or any
other substitute because it may dam-
age your vehicle’s paint.
Do not use your parking brake when
there is a possibility it could freeze.
When parking, put the transmission into
“M(1)”, “E(1)” or “R” (multi−mode manual
transmission), or into first or reverse
(manual transmission) and block the rear
wheels. Do not use the parking brake,
snow or water accumulated in and around
the parking brake mechanism may freeze,
making it hard to release.
Keep ice and snow from accumulating
under the fenders.
Ice and snow built up under your fenders
can make steering difficult. During bad
winter driving, stop and check under the
fenders occasionally.
Depending on where you are driving,
we recommend you carry some emer-
gency equipment.
Some of the things you might put in the
vehicle are tire chains, a window scraper,
a bag of sand or salt, flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, etc.

220IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
Before making these checks, make sure
you have followed the correct starting
procedure given in “How to start the
engine” on page 210 in Section 3 and that
you have sufficient fuel. Since your
vehicle is equipped with an engine
immobilizer system, also check whether
the other keys will start the engine. If
they work, your key may be broken. Have
the key checked at any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional. If
none of your keys work, there may be a
malfunction in the immobilizer system. Call
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped
professional. (See “Keys” on page 10 in
Section 1−2).
If the engine is not turning over or is
turning over too slowly—
1. Check that the battery terminals are
tight and clean.
2. If the battery terminals are O.K., switch
on the interior light.
3. If the light is out, dim or goes out
when the starter is cranked, the battery
is discharged. You may try jump start-
ing. See “(c) Jump starting” on page
221 for further instructions.
If the light is OK, but the engine still will
not start, it needs adjustment or repair.
Call any authorized Toyota dealer or re-
pairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
NOTICE
For manual transmission:
Do not pull−or push−start the ve-
hicle. It may damage the vehicle or
cause a collision when the engine
starts. Also the three−way catalytic
converter may overheat and become a
fire hazard.
If the engine turns over at its normal
speed but will not start—
1. Turn the engine switch to “ACC” or
“LOCK” and try starting the engine
again.
2. If the engine will not start, the engine
may be flooded because of repeated
cranking. See “(b) Starting a flooded
engine” on page 221 for further instruc-
tions.
3. If the engine still will not start, it needs
adjustment or repair. Call any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
