Driving tips Hybrid vehicle driving tips For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the fol- lowing points: ◆ Using Eco drive mode When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accel- erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly than it is in normal conditions.
Page 459: Driving Tips
4-6. Driving tips ◆ When braking Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in a timely manner. A greater amount of electrical energy can be regenerated when slow- ing down. ◆ Delays Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at traffic lights, will lead to bad fuel economy.
Page 460: Tips
4-6. Driving tips ◆ Checking tire inflation pressure Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper tire inflation pressure can cause poor fuel economy. Also, as snow tires can cause large amounts of friction, their use on dry roads can lead to poor fuel economy. Use tires that are appro- priate for the season.

When parking the vehicle Park the vehicle and shift the shift position to P and block the wheel under the vehicle without setting the parking brake.
Page 463 4-6. Driving tips ■ Tire chain installation Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains: ● Install and remove tire chains in a safe location. ● Install tire chains on the front tires only. Do not install tire chains on the rear tires.
Page 464 ■ Repairing or replacing snow tires (vehicle with the tire pressure warn- ing system) Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional or legitimate tire retailers. This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the opera- tion of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
