●Working  from  top  to  bottom,  liberally  apply  water  to  the  vehicl e
body,  wheel  wells  and  underside  of  the  vehicle  to  remove  any  di rt
and dust.
● Wash  the  vehicle  body  using  a  sponge  or  soft  cloth,  such  as  a
chamois.
● For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thoroughl y
with water.
● Wipe away any water.
● Wax the vehicle when the wate rproof coating deteriorates.
If  water  does  not  bead  on  a  clean  surface,  apply  wax  when  the  vehicle
body is cool.
■Automatic car washes
●Fold the mirrors before washing the vehicle. Start washing from  the front of
the vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors before driving.
● Brushes  used  in  automatic  car  washes  may  scratch  the  vehicle  su rface,
parts (wheel, etc.) and harm your vehicle's paint.
● Vehicles with a rear spoiler: In  certain automatic car washes,  the rear spoiler
may  interfere  with  machine  operation.  This  may  prevent  the  vehicle  from
being cleaned properly or result in damage to the rear spoiler.
■ High pressure car washes

● Do  not  use  polish  wax  or  polish  cleaner.  The  instrument  panel’s   or  other
interior part’s painted surface may be damaged.
■ Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe  the  following  precautions  to  avoid  damage  to  and  deterioration  of
leather surfaces:
● Remove any dust or dirt from leather surfaces immediately.
● Do  not  expose  the  vehicle  to  direct  sunlight  for  extended  perio ds  of  time.
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
● Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or containing wax on the uphol-
stery,  as  they  may  stick  to  the  leather  surface  if  the  vehicle  interior  heats
up significantly.
■ Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if wate r comes
into contact with electrical components such as the audio syste m above or
under the floor of the vehicle. Water may also cause the body to rust.

Maintenance and care
■Tire types
●Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway
driving under dry conditions. Si nce summer tires do not have th e same
traction  performance  as  snow  tires,  summer  tires  are  inadequate  for
driving  on  snow-covered  or  icy  ro ads.  For  driving  on  snow-covered
roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. When  install-
ing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
●All season tires
All  season  tires  are  designed  to  provide  better  traction  in  sno w  and  to
be  adequate  for  driving  in  most  winter  conditions  as  well  as  fo r  use
year-round.  All  season  tires,  however,  do  not  have  adequate  tra ction
performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Al so, all
season  tires  fall  short  in  acceleration  and  handling  performanc e  com-
pared with summer tires in highway driving.
●Snow tires
For  driving  on  snow-covered  roads  or  icy  roads,  we  recommend  us ing
snow  tires.  If  you  need  snow  tires,  select  tires  of  the  same  si ze,  con-
struction  and  load  capacity  as  t he  originally  installed  tires. Since  your
vehicle  has  radial  tires  as  original  equipment,  make  sure  your  snow
tires  also  have  radial  construct ion.  Do  not  install  studded  tires  without
first  checking  local  regulations  for  possible  restrictions.  Sno w  tires
should be install ed on all wheels. ( P. 355)
■If the tread on snow tires wea rs down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.
■Situations  in  which  the  tire  pressure  warning  system  may  not  op er-
ate properly
●In  the  following  situations,  the  tire  pressure  warning  system  m ay  not
operate properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used. 
• If  a  tire  has  been  replaced  with  a  tire  that  is  not  an  OE  (Ori ginal
Equipment) tire.
• If a tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the spe cified size.
• If tire chains, e tc. are installed.
• If a window tint that affects r adio wave signals is installed.
• If  there  is  a  lot  of  snow  or  ice  on  the  vehicle,  particularly  around  the
wheels or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure  is much higher than the specifi ed level.
• If wheels not equipped with tire pressure warning valve and tr ansmit-
ter are used.
• If the ID codes of the tire pre ssure warning valve and transmi tters are
not registered in the tire  pressure warning computer.

● If  the  window  cannot  be  opened  using  the  power  window  switch,
remain calm, wait until the water  level inside the vehicle rise s to the
point that the water pressure i nside of the vehicle equals the  water
pressure outside of the vehicl e, and then open the door and exi t the
vehicle.
If  the vehicle is trapped in rising water
In the event the vehicle is submerged in water, remain calm and
perform the following.
WARNING
■ Using an emergency hammer* for emergency escape
The front side windows and rear side windows, as well as  the  re ar window

*: Contact your Toyota dealer or aftermarket accessory manufacturer for fur-
ther information about an emergency hammer.
■ Escaping the vehicle from the window
There are  cases  where escaping  the  vehicle  from  the  window  is  n ot  possi-
ble due to seating position, passenger body type, etc. 
When  using  an  emergency  hammer,  consider  your  seat  location  and  the
size  of  the  window  opening  to  ensure  that  the  opening  is  accessible  and
large enough to escape.
