Eco-friendly driving tips
For improved fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions, pay atten-
tion to the following points:
◆Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration.
Gradual acceleration and deceleration will help reduce excessive fuel con-
sumption.
◆When braking
Observe conditions in front of and around the vehicle, and estimate your
stopping position. Release the accele rator pedal early and continue coast-
ing. Use the brake pedal to adjust your stopping position.
Make sure to operate the brake pedal gently.
◆Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at traffic
lights, will lead to bad fuel economy. Check traffic reports before leaving
and avoid delays as much as possible.
◆Highway driving
Control and maintain the vehicle at a constant speed. Before stopping at a
toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the accelerator pedal
and gently apply the brakes.
◆Air conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help
reduce excessive fuel consumption.
In summer: When the ambient temper ature is high, use the recirculated
air mode. Doing so will help to redu ce the burden on the air conditioning
system and reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Turn the A/C switch on on ly when both heating and dehumidify-
ing are needed, and if only heating is needed, turn the A/C switch off.
Turning the A/C switch on when unnece ssary leads to excessive fuel con-
sumption.

RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
✽: If equipped
⬛Warning performance of the tire pressure warning system✽
The warning of the tire pressure warning system will change in accordance
with the conditions under which it was initialized. For this reason, the system
may give a warning even if the tire pre ssure does not reach a low enough level,
or if the pressure is higher than the pressure that was adjusted to when the
system was initialized.
⬛When initialization of the tire pressure warning system✽ has failed
Initialization can be completed in a fe w minutes. However, in the following
cases, the settings have not been reco rded and the system will not operate
properly. If repeated attempts to reco rd tire inflation pressure settings are
unsuccessful, have the vehicle in spected by your Toyota dealer.
⚫When operating the tire pressure wa rning reset switch, 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 blinking for 1 minute.
WARNING
⬛When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train as well as dan-
gerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
⚫Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear.
⚫Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.
⚫Do not mix differently constructed tires (r adial, bias-belted or bias-ply tires).
⚫Do not mix summer and all season tires.
⚫Do not use tires that have been used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously.
⬛When initializing the tire pressure warning system✽
Do not operate the tire pressure warning reset switch without first adjusting
the tire inflation pressure to the specif ied level. Otherwise, the tire pressure
warning light may not come on even if th e tire inflation pressure is low, or it
may come on when the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.

immediately after battery discharge. In such cases, lock and unlock the
doors using the wireless remote control or emergency key.
⚫The vehicle engine may not start on the first try after battery discharge. This
is to be expected, and the engine will start properly on the second try
onward.
⚫The vehicle consistently keeps track of its engine switch mode. Even after a
discharged battery is removed, the en gine mode returns to the state before
removing the battery. Please remove the battery after turning the engine
switch “OFF”.
If you are not sure of the engine swit ch mode prior to battery discharge, be
especially careful when connecting the battery.
