● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire chains for the front tires. Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match the size of the tires. ■Before driving the vehicle Observe the following according to the driving conditions. ●Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away the water immediately to prevent it from freezing. ● To ensure proper operation of th e climate control system fan, remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the windshield.

Do-it-yourself maintenance 4 Maintenance and care ■ Engine oil consumption ●The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the quality of the oil and the way the vehicle is driven. ● More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and frequent acceleration and deceleration.

● A new engine consumes more oil. ● When judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil may have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accu- rately. ● Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 Imp. Qt./600 miles (1.0 L per 1000 km) ● If your vehicle consumes more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 Imp. Qt.) every 600 miles (1000 km), contact your Toyota dealer.
