DRIVING HINTS
Ensure that you do not obstruct
other road users when doing so.
The heat generated by braking
dries the brake discs and brake
pads and protects them against
corrosion.
This way, brake power is available
immediately, whenever it is needed.
■General
When driving on long or steep
downhill stretches, use the gear in
which the least braking is required.
Otherwise the brake system can
overheat and the braking effect is
reduced.
Engine braking effect can be addi-
tionally increased by manually shift-
ing down, even into first gear, if
applicable.
■Safety notesCorrosion of the brake discs and
contamination of the brake pads
increase in the following circum-
stances:
Low mileage.
Extended periods when the vehi-
cle is not used.
Infrequent use of the brakes.
Aggressive, acidic or alkaline
cleaning agents.
Should corrosion form on the brake
discs, the brakes will tend to
respond with a judder effect that
generally cannot be eliminated.
When the automatic air condition-
ing is in operation, condensation
develops and exits underneath the
vehicle.
The higher mechanical and thermal
loads involved in driving on racing Downhill gradients
WARNING
Even slight continuous pressure on
the brake pedal can cause overheat-
ing, brake pad wear or even brake
system failure. There is a danger of
accidents. Avoid excessive loads on
the brake.
WARNING
When idling or with the engine
switched off, safety-relevant func-
tions are restricted or no longer avail-
able, for example the braking effect of
the engine or power assistance for
the braking force and steering. There
is a danger of accidents. Do not drive
at idle speed or with the engine
switched off.

tracks lead to increased wear. This
wear is not covered by the war-
ranty. The vehicle is not conceived
for use in motor sports competi-
tions.
Before and after driving on a racing
track, have the vehicle checked at
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-
ment available for the model series.
It may therefore describe equip-
ment and functions which are not
installed in your vehicle, for exam-
ple on account of the optional
equipment selected or the country
specification. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and sys-
tems. Please comply with the rele-
vant laws and regulations when
using the corresponding functions
and systems.
The vehicle possesses wide-rang-
ing technologies for reducing con-
sumption and emission levels.
Fuel consumption depends on vari-
ous factors.
A number of measures, such as a
moderate driving style and regular
maintenance, can influence fuel
consumption and reduce the bur-
den on the environment.

sumption.Saving fuel

Add-on parts on the vehicle inter-
fere with its aerodynamic perfor-
mance and increase fuel
consumption.
Open windows increase drag and
consequently fuel consumption.
Tyres can have differing effects on
consumption. For example, con-
sumption can be affected by tyre
size.
Check and, if necessary, correct the
tyre inflation pressures at least
twice a month and before setting off
on a longer journey.
Insufficient tyre inflation pressure
increases rolling resistance and
consequently fuel consumption and
tyre wear.
Do not warm up the engine with the
vehicle at a standstill; it is prefera-
ble to set off straight away, driving
at moderate engine speeds.This brings the cold engine up to
operating temperature as quickly as
possible.
Anticipating the road situation and
adopting a smooth driving style will
reduce fuel consumption.
Avoid accelerating and braking
unnecessarily.
Keep an appropriate distance from
the vehicle ahead.
Driving at low engine speeds
reduces fuel consumption and
wear.
Pay attention to the shift point indi-
cator, see page 160, in the vehicle,
if fitted.
When approaching a red traffic
light, take your foot off the accelera-
tor and allow the vehicle to roll.
On downward stretches, take your
foot off the accelerator and allow
the vehicle to roll.
The fuel supply is interrupted in
overrun mode. Remove add-on parts after
use

Supra Owner's Manual4-1. DRIVING HINTS
When you stop the vehicle for
longer periods, for example at traf-
fic lights, railway crossings or in
traffic jams, switch off the engine.
The Auto Start/Stop of the vehicle
shuts off the engine automatically
during a stop.
If the engine is switched off and
then started again, the fuel con-
sumption and emissions are
reduced compared with a perma-
nently running engine. Savings can
be made just by stopping the
engine for a few seconds.
Fuel consumption also depends on
other factors, such as driving style,
road condition, maintenance or
environmental factors, for example.
Functions such as seat heating or
rear window heating require a great
deal of energy and increase fuel
consumption, especially in city traf-
fic and stop-and-go traffic.
Switch these functions off if they
are not required.Have the vehicle serviced regularly
to achieve optimal economy and
lifetime. Toyota recommends hav-
ing maintenance work carried out
by Toyota. Switch off the engine if stop-
ping for longer periods

Before refuelling, observe the notes
on fuel quality, see page 307.
When refuelling, insert the filler
nozzle fully into the filler neck. Lift-
ing the filler nozzle during refuelling
results in the following:
The fuel supply being cut off pre-
maturely.
Fuel vapour and fumes being
recovered less effectively.
The fuel tank is full when the filler
nozzle cuts out for the first time.
Please comply with the safety regu-
lations displayed at filling stations.1Briefly press the rear edge of
the fuel filler flap.

A tyre's condition and inflation pres-
sure influence the following:
• Lifetime of the tyre.
• Driving safety.
• Driving comfort.
• Fuel consumption.The tyre inflation pressures are
shown on the door pillar of the
driver's door.
The tyre inflation pressure data
applies to the tyre sizes and recom-
mended tyre makes which have
been classified by the vehicle man-
ufacturer as suitable for the respec-
tive vehicle type.
If the tyre's speed code cannot be
found, then the tyre inflation pres-
sure for the corresponding tyre size
applies.

WARNING
A tyre with too little or no tyre inflation
pressure can heat up significantly and
sustain damage. Driving properties,
for example steering and braking, will
be impaired as a result. There is a
danger of accidents. Check the tyre
inflation pressure regularly and adjust
as necessary, for example twice a
month or before any long journey

for the respective load conditions
will apply, in accordance with the
vehicle's actual load condition.
Example: for a partially loaded
vehicle, the optimum tyre inflation
pressure is the one stated for a par-
tially loaded vehicle.
More information regarding wheels
and tyres can be obtained from any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
The current tire pressure of each
installed wheel can be displayed on
the control display.
To ensure that they are displayed
correctly, the tyre sizes must be
stored in the system and must have
been set, see page 290, for the
mounted tyres.
The current tyre inflation pressure
value is shown on each tyre.Tyres heat up while driving. The
tyre inflation pressure increases
with the temperature of the tyre.
Tyres have a natural, uniform loss
of tyre inflation pressure.
Inflating devices can display a pres-
sure that may be up to 0.1 bar too
low.
The tyre inflation pressure inscrip-
tions on the tyre inflation pressure
sign on the door pillar only relate to
cold tyres or tyres at the same tem-
perature as the ambient tempera-
ture.
Only check the tyre inflation pres-
sures when the tyres are cold, i.e.:
• A driving distance of max. 2 km,
1.25 miles has not been
exceeded.
• If the vehicle has not moved
again for at least 2 hours after a
journey.
Regularly check the tyre inflation
pressure of the emergency wheel in
the boot and correct the pressure if
necessary.

inflation pressures for the tyres For Australia/New Zealand
WARNING
The inflation pressures on the tyre
label are applicable only for tyres
explicitly mentioned on the label.
Inflation pressures for tyres that may
be covered by the label – by size,
speed category and load rating/load
index – but not explicitly mentioned
on the label may be different. Please
obtain adequate inflation pressures in
accordance with the tyre manufac-
turer's specifications from your tyre
dealer.
