4-6.Driving tips
Use fluids that are appropriate
to the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician
inspect the condition of the
battery.
 Have the vehicle fitted with
four snow tires or purchase a
set of tire chains for the front
tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same
size and brand, and that chains
match the size of the tires.
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary
preparations and inspec-
tions before driving the
vehicle in winter. Always
drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the pre-
vailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
WA R N I N G
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so m ay result in a
loss of vehicle control and cause
death or serious injury.
●Use tires of the size specified.
●Maintain the recommended
level of air pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75
mph (120 km/h), regardless of
the type of snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just
some wheels.
■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 specifi ed 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 brak-
ing and shifting operations that
cause sudden engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before
entering a curve to ensure that
vehicle control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist) system. (if equipped)
●Do not use LDA (Lane Depar-
ture Alert with steering control)
system. (if equipped)
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow
tires (vehicles with a tire pres-
sure warning system)
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.

sure warning light blinks 3
times.
■Initialization procedure
●Make sure to carry out initializa-
tion after adjusting the tire inflation
pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold
before carrying out initialization or
tire inflation pressure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the
engine switch off during initializa-
tion, it is not necessary to press
the reset switch again as initializa-
tion will restart aut omatically when
the engine switch to ON for the
next time.
●If initialization has accidentally
been started when it is not neces-
sary, adjust the tire inflation pres-
sure to the specif ied level when
the tires are cold, and then per-
form the initialization procedure
again.
■When initialization of the tire
pressure warning system has
failed
Initialization can be completed in a
few minutes. However, in the follow-
ing cases, the set tings have not
been recorded an d the system will
not operate properly. If repeated
attempts to record tire inflation pres-
sure settings are unsuccessful,
have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
●When attempting to start initializa-
tion, the tire pressure warning light
does not blink 3 times.
●After driving for a certain period of
time since the initialization has
been completed, the warning light
comes on after bl inking for 1 min-
ute.
The tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter is equipped with
a unique ID code. When replac-
ing a tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, it is necessary
to register the ID code. Have the
ID code registered by your Toy-
ota dealer.
Your vehicle is equipped with
tire pressure warning system
with the function to have ID
codes registered for a second
wheel set, for example a winter
set, by Toyota dealer.
After registration of a second
wheel set, either of these two
wheel sets can be selected for
usage with the tire pressure
warning system.

■When initializing the tire pres-
sure warning system
Do not initialize the tire pressure
warning system without first
adjusting the tire inflation pres-
sure to the specified level. Other-
wise, the tire pressure warning
light may not come on even if the
tire inflation press ure is low, or it
may come on when the tire infla-
tion pressure is actually normal.
