2-3. Fuel and Emission
This vehicle is equipped with an emission control system (the catalytic
converter is part of this system ) that enables the vehicle to comply
with existing exhaust emissions requirements.
● Under U.S. federal law, any modification to the original-equipment emission
control system before the first sale and registration of a vehicle is subject to
penalties. In some states, such modification made on a used vehicle is also
subject to penalties.
● While the engine is off, the sound of a valve opening and closing can be
heard at the rear of the vehicle, however this does not indicate an abnormal-
ity. The vehicle has a selfchecking device and it operates while the engine is
off.
Emission Control System
WARNING
■Never park over or near anything flammable
Parking over or near anything flammable, such as dry grass, is dangerous.
Even with the engine turned off, the exhaust system remains very hot after
normal use and could ignite anything flammable. A resulting fire could
cause serious injury or death.
NOTICE
Ignoring the following precautions could cause lead to accumulate on the
catalyst inside the converter or cause the converter to get very hot. Either
condition will damage the converter and cause poor performance.
●USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
● Do not drive your Toyota with any sign of engine malfunction.
● Do not coast with the ignition switched off.
● Do not descend steep grades in gear with the ignition switched off.
● Do not operate the engine at high idle for more than 2 minutes.
● Do not tamper with the emission control system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by a qualified technician.
● Do not push-start or pull-start your vehicle.

2-8. Driving Tips
Hazardous Driving
When driving on ice or in water, snow, mud, sand, or similar hazards:• Be cautious and allow ex tra distance for braking.
• Avoid sudden braking and sudden maneuvering.
• Do not pump the brakes. Continue to press down on the brake pedal. Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS) on P. 193.
• If you get stuck, select a lower g ear and accelerate slowly. Do not
spin the front wheels.
• For more traction in starting on slippery surfaces such as ice or packed snow, use sand, rock salt, chains, carpeting, or other non-
slip material under the front wheels.
Use snow chains only on the front wheels.
WARNING
■ Be extremely careful if it is n ecessary to downshift on slippery sur-
faces
Downshifting into lower gear while driving on slippery surfaces is danger-
ous. The sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This
could lead to loss of vehicle control and an accident.

Before Driving
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire chains, window scraper, flares, a
small shovel, jumper cables, a nd a small bag of sand or salt.
Ask your Toyota dealer to check the following: • Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the radiator. Refer to Engine Coolant on P. 425.
• Inspect the battery and its cables . Cold reduces battery capacity.
• Use an engine oil appropriate for the lowest ambient temperatures that the vehicle will be driven in ( →P. 422).
• Inspect the ignition sy stem for damage and loose connections.
• Use washer fluid made with antifreeze ⎯but do not use engine cool-
ant antifreeze for washer fluid ( →P. 429).
●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 automatic transaxle.
Block the rear wheels.
● Remove snow before driving. Snow left on the windshield is dangerous 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 windows 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.

When Driving
■Push Button Start Positions
●The engine starts by pressing the push button start while depressing the
clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic transaxle). 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 running. Doing
so could result in the battery going dead. If the ignition is left in ACC (For
automatic transaxle, the selector lever is in the P position, and 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 button 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 fuel 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 sure 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, shifting 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 another position will dis-
able some of the vehicle’s security systems and run the battery down.

When Driving
The gear shift indicator supports you to obtain optimum fuel economy
and smooth driving. It displays the selected gear position in the com-
bination meter as well as notifies the driver to change to the most suit-
able gear position corresponding to the actual driving condition.
Selected gear position
Suitable gear position
The gear shift indicator turns off when the following operations are performed.
●The vehicle is stopped.
● The vehicle is put in neutral.
● The vehicle is driven in reverse.
● The clutch is not fully engaged when accelerating from a stop.
● The clutch pedal remains depressed for 2 seconds or longer while driving.
NOTICE
●Keep your foot off the clutch pedal except when shifting gears. Also, do
not use the clutch to hold the vehicle on an upgrade. Riding the clutch will
cause needless clutch wear and damage.
● Do not apply any excessive lateral force to the shift lever when changing
from 5th to 4th gear. This could lead to the accidental selection of 2nd
gear, which could result in damage to the transaxle.
● Make sure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting to R. Shift-
ing to R while the vehicle is still moving may damage the transaxle.

Automatic Transaxle Controls
Various Lockouts:
The Sport AT has an option that is not included in the traditional automatic
transaxle that gives the driver the option of selecting each gear instead of
leaving it to the transaxle to shift gears. Even if you intend to use the auto-
matic transaxle functions as a traditional automatic, you should also be aware
that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift mode and an inappropriate
gear may be retained as the vehicle speed increases. If you notice the engine
speed going higher or hear the engine racing, confirm you have not acciden-
tally slipped into manual shift mode (→P. 168).
