1764-1. Driving the vehicle
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
NOTICE
⬛If you feel the clutch is slipping (Manual transmission vehicles)
Have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. If your
vehicle does not accelerate by stepping on the accelerator pedal even when
the clutch is engaged, the clutch ma y be slipping and the vehicle may no
longer be able to run.
⬛To prevent damage to the tu rbo system (Turbo vehicles)
⚫Immediately after driving at high speed or climbing on a hill, do not stop the
engine. Make sure to idle the engine for approx. 1 minute to cool down the
turbo system, and then stop the engine.
⚫Do not use any parts other than those specified for the exhaust pipes.
⚫Never alter the exhaust pipes.
⚫Never race or accelerate suddenly when the engine is cold.
⚫Make sure to change the oil periodically. ( ➞P. 418)
⬛When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain, etc. Doing so may
cause the following serious damage to the vehicle:
⚫Engine stalling
⚫Short in electrical components
⚫Engine damage caused by water immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be
sure to have your Toyota dealer check the following:
⚫Brake function
⚫Changes in quantity and quality of oi ls and fluids such as engine oil,
transaxle oil, and differential oil
⚫Poor lubrication of the bearings and joints, etc.

4-6. Driving tips
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropri-
ate to the prevailing weather conditions.Preparation for winter
⚫Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside temperatures.
⦁ Engine oil
⦁ Coolant
⦁ Washer fluid
⚫Have a service technician inspec t the condition of the battery.
Before driving
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
⚫Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a windshield wiper that is
frozen. 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 air conditioning system fan, remove
any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the
windshield.
⚫Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, around the tires or on the
brakes.
⚫Look under the vehicle and check that there are no ice blocks around
the ground. Remove any attached ice blocks with great care to avoid
damaging vehicle components. Also check that the pedals and steering
wheel move smoothly.
⚫Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before getting
in the vehicle.

2424-6. Driving tips
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
◆Performing idling stops
⚫Avoid unnecessary idling. Stop the engine when parking the vehicle to
reduce excessive fuel consumption, even it is only for a short period of
time.
⚫Except in severe environment, such as when the outside temperature is
extremely low, warming up the engine before driving is unnecessary.
Rather than idling, it is more efficient to drive the vehicle gently to warm
up each part while avoiding increasing the engine revolutions unneces-
sarily and accelerating or decelerating suddenly.
◆Luggage
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack will also cause poor fuel
economy.
◆Regular maintenance
⚫Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor fu el economy. Also, as snow tires can
cause large amounts of friction, thei r use on dry roads can lead to poor
fuel economy. Use tires that are appropriate for the season and road
conditions.
⚫Use oil and fluid of the recommended quality, which affect fuel con-
sumption and the life of the vehicle. Also, check oil and fluid periodically.

unexpectedly. Be especially careful on windy days.
⬛To prevent injury
The interior of the engine compartment is hot after driving. Touching hot com-
ponents can cause serious injury such as burns.
⬛Verification after inspecting the engine compartment
Before starting the engine, make sure that no flammable materials are left in
the engine compartment. Make sure th at there are no flammable materials
such as twigs brought in by small animals and birds in the engine compart-

RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
⚫When the outside temperature is low, the engine oil may become white and
creamy, and it may get to the back of the oil filler cap or oil filling port.This
phenomenon takes place when water vapor in the engine is cooled, forming
water drops, which in turn are mixed wi th the engine oil. This, however, will
disappear when the water evaporates as the outside temperature gets high
or the engine warms up.The engine oil does not deteriorate due to this phe-
nomenon and there will be no problem if the engine oil is continued to be
used.
WARNING
⬛Used engine oil
⚫Used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause
skin disorders such as inflammation and skin cancer, so care should be
taken to avoid prolonged and repeated contact. To remove used engine oil
from your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
⚫Dispose of used oil and filters only in a safe and acceptable manner. Do not
dispose of used oil and filters in hous ehold trash, in sewers or onto the
ground.
Call your Toyota dealer, service stat ion or auto parts store for information
concerning recycling or disposal.
⚫Do not leave used engine oil within the reach of children.
⬛If engine oil is spilled
If oil is spilled on the alternator, wipe off the oil immediately. Oil spilled on the
alternator will cause a fire.
NOTICE
⬛To prevent serious engine damage
Observe the following precautions.
⚫Check the oil level on a regular basis.
⚫Do not use any engine oil additive.
⬛When replacing the engine oil
⚫Be careful not to spill engine oil on the vehicle components.
⚫Avoid overfilling, or the engine could be damaged.
⚫Check the oil level on the dipstick every time you refill the vehicle.
⚫Be sure the engine oil filler cap is properly tightened.
