RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
⬛When the brakes freeze
If normal braking is not restored, have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer immediately.
⬛Caution when parking
When parking without applying the parking brake, be sure to use wheel
chocks. Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an unforeseen accident.
NOTICE
⬛When removing ice from the windshield and windows
Do not hit and break the ice.
The glass may crack.
⬛When the doors, windshield wipers, windshield, or windows freeze
⚫Thaw the ice by applying lukewarm water.
Hot water may damage or deform components.
⚫If the windshield wipers, outside rear view mirrors, or windows are forcibly
activated while frozen or when snow is strongly attached, the wiper rubber
may be damaged or the motor may break.
⬛Repairing or replacing snow tires (veh icles with the tire pressure warning
system)
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from Toyota dealers or legiti-
mate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the operation
of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
⬛Fitting tire chains (vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function correctly
when tire chains are fitted.
