Before Driving
■Auto-opening/closing
To fully open the window automatically, press the switch completely
down, then release. The window will fully open automatically.
To fully close the window automatically, pull the switch completely
up, then release. The window will fully close automatically.
To stop the window partway, pull or press the switch in the opposite
direction and then release it.
●Power window system initialization procedure
If the battery was disconnected during vehicle maintenance, or
for other reasons (such as a switch continues to be operated
after the window is fully open/closed), the window will not fully
open and close automatically.
The power window auto function will only resume on a power
window that has been reset.
Switch the ignition ON.
Make sure that the power window lock switch located on the
driver’s door is not depressed.
Press the switch and fully open the window.
Pull up the switch to fully close the window and continue hold-
ing the switch for about 2 seconds after the window fully
closed.
■Jam-safe window
If a person’s hands, head or an object blocks the window during the
auto-closing operation, the window will stop and open halfway.
■Engine-off power window operation
The power window can be operated for about 40 seconds after the
ignition is switched from ON to off with all doors closed. If any door
is opened, the power window will stop operating.

2-8. Driving Tips

Before Driving
Saving Fuel and Protection of the Environment
How you operate your Toyota determines how far it will travel on a
tank of fuel. Use these suggestions to help save fuel and reduce CO2.
●Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine runs smoothly, begin driv-
ing.
● Avoid fast starts.
● Drive at lower speeds.
● Anticipate when to apply the brakes (avoid sudden braking).
● Follow the maintenance schedule and have your Toyota dealer per-
form inspections and servicing.
● Use the air conditioner only when necessary.
● Slow down on rough roads.
● Keep the tires properly inflated.
● Do not carry unnecessary weight.
● Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
● Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
● Keep windows closed at high speeds.
● Slow down when driving in crosswinds and headwinds.
WARNING
■Never stop the engine when going down a hill
Stopping the engine when going down a hill is dangerous. This causes the
loss of power steering and power br ake control, and may cause damage to
the drivetrain. Any loss of steering or braking control could cause an acci-
dent.

When Driving
When the ignition is switched ON,
the wrench indicator light is illumi-
nated and then turns off after a
few seconds.
The wrench indicator light is illu-
minated when the preset mainte-
nance period arrives. Verify the
content and perform mainte-
nance.
Refer to Maintenance Monitor on
P. 420.
The light illuminates continuously
when the engine coolant tempera-
ture is low and turns off after the
engine is warm.
If the low engine coolant tempera-
ture indicator light remains illumi-
nated after the engine has been
sufficiently warmed up, the tem-
perature sensor could have a mal-
function. Consult your Toyota
dealer.

5-1. Essential Information
Introduction
Be extremely careful and prevent injury to yourself and others or dam-
age to your vehicle when using this manual for inspection and mainte-
nance.
If you are unsure about any procedure it describes, we strongly urge
you to have a reliable and qualified service shop perform the work,
preferably your Toyota dealer.
Factory-trained Toyota technicians and genuine Toyota parts are best
for your vehicle. Without this expertise and the parts that have been
designed and made especially for your Toyota, inadequate, incom-
plete, and insufficient servicing may result in problems. This could
lead to vehicle damage or an accident and injuries.
For expert advice and quality service, consult your Toyota dealer.
To continue warranty eligibility and to protect your investment, it is
your responsibility to properly maintain your vehicle according to fac-
tory recommended schedules outlined in this manual. Keep a copy of
the repair order. It proves that the maintenance that has been per-
formed is under warranty coverage. If any problem should arise while
your vehicle is under warranty, your Toyota dealer will promptly take
care of it.
This evidence may consist of the following:
●The Maintenance Log, found within the Warranty and Maintenance
Guide, must be completely filled out showing mileage, repair order
number, date for each service, and signed by a qualified automotive
service technician who service vehicles.
● Original copies of repair orders or other receipts that include the
mileage and date the vehicle was serviced. Each receipt should be
signed by a qualified automotive service technician.
● For self maintenance, a statement that you completed the mainte-
nance yourself, displaying mileage and the date the work was per-
formed. Also, receipts for the replacement parts (fluid, filters, etc.)
indicating the date and mileage must accompany this statement.

Maintenance and Care
If you elect to perform maintenance yourself or have your vehicle serviced at
a location other than your Toyota dealer, Toyota requires that all fluids, parts
and materials must meet Toyota standards for durability and performance as
described in this manual.
Claims against the warranty resulting from lack of maintenance, as
opposed to defective materials or authorized Toyota workmanship, will
not be honored.
Any auto repair shop using parts equivalent to your Toyota’s original
equipment may perform maintenance. But we recommend that it
always be done by your Toyota dealer using genuine Toyota parts.
Selecting “Maintenance Monitor” enables the system to notify you of
your vehicle’s approaching inspection/servicing period ( →P. 420).
