DRIVING TIPS
Brake discs and brake pads only
reach their full effectiveness
after approx. 300 miles/500 km.
Drive moderately during this
break-in period.
Observe the break-in proce-
dures again, if components

General driving notes
Closing the trunk lid
Safety information
WA R N I N G
An open trunk lid protrudes from
the vehicle and can endanger
occupants and other traffic partici-
pants or damage the vehicle in
the event of an a ccident, braking
or evasive maneu vers. In addi-
tion, exhaust fumes may enter the
car's interior. There is a risk of
injury or risk of damage to prop-
erty. Do not drive with the trunk lid
open.
Hot exhaust gas system
WA R N I N G
During driving o peration, high
temperatures can occur under-
neath the vehic le body, for
instance caused by the exhaust
gas system. If combustible mate-
rials, such as leaves or grass,
come in contact with hot parts of
the exhaust gas system, these
materials can ignite. There is a
risk of injury or risk of damage to
property. Do not remove the heat
shields installed and never apply
undercoating to them. Make sure
that no combustible materials can
come in contact with hot vehicle
parts in driving operation, idle or
during parking. Do not touch the
hot exhaust gas system.
Mobile communication
devices in the vehicle
WA R N I N G
Vehicle electronics and mobile
phones can influence one
another. There is radiation due to
the transmission operations of
mobile phones. There is a risk of
injury or risk of damage to prop-
erty. If possible, i n the car's inte-
rior use only mobile phones with
direct connections to an exterior
antenna in order to exclude
mutual interference and deflect
the radiation from the car's inte-
rior.

2545-1. DRIVING TIPS
Supra Owner's Manual
When roads are wet, salted, or
in heavy rain, gently press the
brake pedal every few miles.
Ensure that this action does not
endanger other traffic.
The heat generated during brak-
ing dries brake discs and brake
pads and protects them against
corrosion.
In this way braking efficiency will
be available when you need it.
■General information
Drive long or steep downhill gra-
dients in the gear that requires
least braking effort. Otherwise,
the brakes may overheat and reduce brake efficiency.
You can increase the engine's
braking effect by shifting down,
going all the way to first gear, if
needed.
■Safety information
Corrosion on the brake discs
and contamination on the brake
pads are increased by the fol-
lowing circumstances:
 Low mileage.
 Extended periods when the
vehicle is not used at all.
 Infrequent use of the brakes.
 Aggressive, acidic, or alka-
line cleaning agents.
Corrosion buildup on the brake
discs will cause a pulsating
Objects in the area around
the pedals
WA R N I N G
Objects in the dri
ver's floor area
can limit the peda l distance or
block a depressed pedal. There is
a risk of an accident. Stow objects
in the vehicle such that they are
secured and cannot enter into the
driver's floor area. Use floor mats
that are suitable for the vehicle
and can be safely attached to the
floor. Do not use loose floor mats
and do not layer several floor
mats. Make sure t hat there is suf-
ficient clearance for the pedals.
Ensure that the floor mats are
securely fastened again after they
were removed, fo r instance for
cleaning.
Driving in wet conditions
Hills
WA R N I N G
Light but consis tent brake pres-
sure can lead to high tempera-
tures, brakes wearing out and
possibly even brake failure. There
is a risk of an accident. Avoid
placing excessive stress on the
brake system.
WA R N I N G
In idle state or with the engine
switched off, safety-relevant func-
tions, for instanc e engine braking
effect, braking force boost and
steering assistance, are restricted
or not available at all. There is a
risk of an accident. Do not drive in
idle state or with the engine
switched off.
Brake disc corrosion

Supra Owner's Manual
■Safety information
■General information
In a vehicle wash, the vehicle
must be able to roll freely. Roll or push the vehicle, see
page 127.
Some vehicle washes do not
permit persons in the vehicle.
The vehicle cannot be locked
from the outside when in selec-
tor lever position N. A signal
sounds when an attempt is
made to lock the vehicle.
Make sure that the remote con-
trol is in the vehicle.
Switch on drive-ready state,
refer to page 42.
Do not rub wet headlights dry
and do not use abrasive or
acidic cleaning agents.
Soak areas that have been dirt-
ied, for instance from insects,
with shampoo and wash off with
water.
Thaw ice with de-icing spray; do
not use an ice scraper.
After washing the vehicle, apply
the brakes briefly to dry them;
otherwise, braking action can be
reduced. The heat generated
during braking dries brake discs
and brake pads and protects
them against corrosion.
Completely remove all residues
NOTICE
Improper use of automatic vehicle
washes can cause damage to the
vehicle. There is a risk of damage
to property. Fo
llow the following
instructions:
●Give preference to cloth vehicle
washes or those that use soft
brushes in order to avoid paint
damage.
●Avoid vehicle washes with
guide rails higher than 4 in/10
cm to avoid damage to the
chassis.
●Observe the tire width of the
guide rail to avoid damage to
tires and rims.
●Fold in exterior mirrors to avoid
damage to the exterior mirrors.
●Deactivate the wiper and, if nec-
essary, rain sensor to avoid
damage to the wiper system.
●Do not treat the convertible top
with wax. Ensure that a cycle
without wax or a special cycle
for convertibles is available to
avoid damage to the convertible
top.
Driving into a vehicle wash
NOTICE
Selector lever position P is auto-
matically engaged when standby
state is switched off. There is a
risk of damage to property. Do not
switch standby state off in vehicle
washes.

such as from clothing, clean
leather and provide leather care
roughly every two months.
Clean light-colored leather more
frequently because soiling on
such surfaces is substantially
more visible.
Use leather care products; oth-
erwise, dirt and grease will grad-
ually break down the protective
layer of the leather surface.
Vacuum the upholstery regularly
with a vacuum cleaner.
If upholstery is very dirty, for
instance with beverage stains,
use a soft sponge or microfiber
cloth with a suitable interior
cleaner.
Clean the upholstery down to
the seams using large sweeping
motions. Avoid rubbing the
material vigorously. When cleaning the vehicle, use
only neutral wheel cleaners hav-
ing a pH value from 5 to 9. Do
not use abrasive cleaning
agents or steam jets above 140
°F/60 °C. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Aggressive, acidic or alkaline
cleaning agents can destroy the
protective layer of adjacent
components, such as the brake
disc.
After cleaning, apply the brakes
briefly to dry them. The heat
generated during braking dries
brake discs and brake pads and
protects them against corrosion.
Carefully clean components
such as the radiator grille or
door handles with plenty of
water, possibly with shampoo
added, particularly when they
have been exposed to road salt.
Environmental i
nfluences can
cause surface soiling of rubber
parts and a loss of gloss. Use
only water and suitable cleaning
agents for cleaning.
