■The ABS does not operate effec-
tively when
●The limits of tire gripping perfor- mance have been exceeded (such
as excessively worn tires on a snow
covered road).
●The vehicle hydroplanes while driv-
ing at high speed on wet or slick
roads.
■Stopping distance when the ABS
is operating may exceed that of normal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten
the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you, especially
in the following situations:
●When driving on dirt, gravel or
snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps in the
road
●When driving over roads with pot-
holes or uneven surfaces
■TRC may not operate effectively
when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRC
system is operating. Do not drive the vehicle in conditions where stability
and power may be lost.
■When the VSC and/or brake LSD
function is activated
The slip indicator flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular
care when the indicator flashes.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a
speed appropriate to the road condi- tions. As these are the systems to
help ensure vehicle stability and driv-
ing force, do not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the
specified size, brand, tread pattern
and total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to
the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure level.
The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will
not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspen-sion
Using tires with any kind of problem
or modifying the suspension will affect the driving assist systems, and may
cause a system to malfunction.

■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size, and that are the same size, same
maker, same brand and tread pat-
tern.
●Maintain the recommended level of
air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of
the speed limit or the speed limit specified for the snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on a ll, not just some
wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
●When any of the tires are punc-
tured, you can seal the tire tempo- rarily. However, do not use the tire
chain on a sealed tire. If any of the
rear tires are punctured although it is required to use tire chains, con-
tact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●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 km/h (19 mph),
whichever is lower.
• Avoid driving on bumpy road sur-
faces or over potholes.
• Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
steering, sudden braking and shift- ing operations that cause sudden
engine braking.
• Slow down sufficiently before enter- ing a curve to ensure that vehicle
control is maintained.

4-7. Driving tips
DrivingPerform the following according to
the driving conditions:
 Do not try to forcibly open a win-
dow or move a wiper that is fro-
zen. Pour warm water over the
frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe
away the water immediately to
prevent it from freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of
the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accu-
mulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
 Check for and remove any
excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the exte-
rior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis,
around the tires or on the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud from
the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
 If a door is opened and closed
when its side window is frozen,
the window safety device will
operate and the side window
open/close function linked to
door operation may not operate
correctly. If this occurs, perform
the following after the ice has
melted.
After opening the window to the
approximately half open position,
perform initialization. ( P.126)
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep
a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a
reduced speed suitable to road
conditions.
 Park the vehicle and shift the
shift lever to P (automatic trans-
mission), or 1 or R (manual
transmission) with out setting the
parking brake. The parking brake
may freeze up, preventing it from
being released. If the vehicle is
parked without setting the park-
ing brake, make sure to block the
wheels.
Failure to do so may be danger-
ous because it may cause the
vehicle to move unexpectedly,
possibly leading to an accident.
 Vehicles with an automatic trans-
WA R N I N G
Always use the utmost care when
driving with tire chains - overconfi-
dence because you are driving with tire chains could easily lead to a seri-
ous accident.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
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.

lem with the shift lock system. Have
the vehicle inspected by any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota author-
ized repairer, or any reliable repairer
or legitimate tire retailers immedi-
ately.
We recommend that you consult
any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional for infor-
mation about the chains that you
can use.
Regulations regarding the use of
tire chains vary depending on loca-
tion and type of road. Always check
local regulations before installing
chains.
■Tire chain installation
Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains:
●Install and remove tire chains in a safe location.
●Install tire chains on the rear tires. Do not install tire chains on the front tires.
●Install tire chains on rear tires as
tightly as possible. Retighten chains after driving approximately 100 m
(328 ft.).
●Install tire chains following the instruc-
tions provided with the tire chains.
