RUNNING-IN PERIOD
To extend the life of your vehicle the following precautions are recommended:
• For the first 300 km:
– Avoid sudden or hard stops
• For the first 800 km:
– Do not tow a trailer
• For the first 1000 km:
– Avoid full throttle acceleration when starting and driving
– Avoid over-revving the engine
– Do not drive for a long time at any single speed, either fast or slow
PRE-TRIP SAFETY CHECK
It is a good idea to do a safety check before starting out on a trip. A few minutes of
checking can help ensure safe and pleasant driving. Just a basic familiarity with your
vehicle is required and a careful eye!
Items to check include, but are not limited to:
• Tyre condition and pressure (including the spare wheel).
• Fluid levels. If the vehicle has been parked for a while check for fluid leaking
underneath the vehicle. (Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is normal).
• All lights operate normally.
• No indicators or warning lights remain illuminated once the vehicle has been started.
• Any other items or noises that appear abnormal.
If you would like, your Toyota dealer will be pleased to make this check for you at a
nominal cost.
ECO FRIENDLY DRIVING
Your Toyota is fitted with an Eco Driving
indicator to help you maximise fuel
economy / minimise fuel consumption and
your impact on the environment.
During eco-friendly acceleration (eco
driving) the indicator will illuminate. If
the acceleration exceeds the zone of eco
driving, and when the vehicle is stopped,
the indicator turns off.
Eco Driving Indicator Light will not operate
in the following conditions:
• The shift lever is in anything other than D position.
• The paddle shift switch is used (if equipped).
• The vehicle speed is approximately 130 km/h or higher.
