the accelerator slightly and slow ly move the shift lever from 1 (D) to R
position.
WARNING
■ Do not spin the wheels at more th an 35 mph (56 km/h), and do not
allow anyone to stand behind a wheel when pushing the vehicle
When the vehicle is stuck, spinning the wheels at high speed is dangerous.
The spinning tire could overheat and explode. This could cause serious

2-9. Driving Tips
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire chains, window scraper, flares, a
small shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag of sand or salt.
Ask your Toyota dealer to check the following:
• Have the proper ratio of ant ifreeze in the radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on P. 398.
• Inspect the battery and its cabl es. Cold reduces battery capacity.
• Use an engine oil appropriate for the lowest ambient temperatures that the vehicle w ill be driven in (P. 395).
• Inspect the ignition system for damage and loose connections.
• Use washer fluid made with antifreeze but do not use engine cool-
ant antifreeze for washer fluid ( P. 402).
●Do not use the parking brake in freezing weather as it may freeze. Instead,
shift to 1 or R with a manual transaxle and to P with an automa tic transaxle.
Block the rear wheels.
● Remove snow before driving. Snow left on the windshield is dang erous as it
could obstruct vision.
● Do not apply excessive force to a window scraper when removing ice or fro-
zen snow on the mirror glass and windshield.
● Never use warm or hot water for removing snow or ice from windo ws and
mirrors as it could result in the glass cracking.
● Drive slowly. Braking performance can be adversely affected if snow or ice
adheres to the brake components. If this situation occurs, drive the vehicle
slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes sev-
eral times until the brake performance returns to normal.

Before Driving
Driving In Flooded Area
WARNING
■Dry off brakes that have become wet by driving slowly, releasin g the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes several times until
the brake performance returns to normal
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Increased stopping distan ce or the
vehicle pulling to one side when braking could result in a seri ous accident.
Light braking will indicate whether the brakes have been affect ed.
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle on flooded roads as it could cause sho rt circuiting
of electrical/electronic parts, or engine damage or stalling fr om water
absorption. If the vehicle has been immersed in water, consult your Toyota
dealer.

3-1. Start/Stop Engine
Ignition Switch
The system operates only when the driver is in the vehicle or within
operational range while the key is being carried.
Each time the push button start is
pressed, the ignition switches in
the order of off, ACC, and ON.
Pressing the push button start
again from ON switches the igni-
tion off.
■Off
The power supply to electrical devices turns off and the push b utton
start indicator light (amber) also turns off.
In this position the st eering wheel is locked.
■ACC (Accessory)
Some electrical access ories will operate and the indicator light
(amber) illuminates.
■ON
This is the normal running posit ion after the engine is started. The
indicator light (amber) turns off. (The indicator light (amber) illumi-
nates when the ignition is switched ON and the engine is not ru n-
ning.)
Some indicator lights/warning lights should be inspected before the
engine is started ( P. 1 7 3 ) .

When Driving
■Push Button Start Positions
●The engine starts by pressing the push button start while depre ssing the
clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic t ransaxle). To
switch the ignition position, press the push button start without depressing
the pedal.
● Do not leave the ignition switched ON while the engine is not r unning. Doing
so could result in the battery going dead. If the ignition is l eft in ACC (For
automatic transaxle, the selector lever is in the P position, a nd the ignition is
in ACC), the ignition switches off automatically after about 25 minutes.
■ ACC (Accessory)
The keyless entry system does not function while the push butto n start has
been pressed to ACC, and the doors will not lock/unlock even if they have
been locked manually.
■ ON
When the push button start is pressed to ON, the sound of the f uel pump
motor operating near the fuel tank can be heard. This does not indicate an
abnormality.
WARNING
■ Before leaving the driver’s seat, set the parking brake, make s ure the
selector lever is in 1st gear or R (manual transaxle) or in P ( automatic
transaxle), and always switch the ignition off
Leaving the driver’s seat without setting the parking brake, sh ifting the
selector lever to 1st gear or R (manual transaxle) or to P (automatic tran-
saxle), and switching the ignition off is dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur which could result in an accident.
In addition, if your intention is to leave the vehicle for even a short period, it
is important to switch the ignition off, as leaving it in anoth er position will dis-
able some of the vehicle’s security systems and run the battery down.

sound from the engine compartment can be heard.
This is for improved exhaust gas purification and does not indicate defect of
the parts.
● Engine-starting is controlled by the spark ignition system.
This system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Standard
requirements regulating the impul se electrical field strength of radio noise.
● Under the following conditions, the KEY warning light (red) fla shes after the
push button start is pressed to inform the driver that the push button start
will not switch to ACC even if it is pressed from off.
• The key battery is dead.
