2-5. Driving information
CAUTION
Driving with tire chains
■
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents. 
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely,
and may cause death or serious injury.
●
Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being
used, or 30 mph (50 km/h), whichever is lower.
●
Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes.
●
Avoid sudden turns and braking, as use of chains may adversely affect
vehicle handling.
●
Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle con-
trol is maintained.
NOTICE
Repairing or replacing snow tires
■
Request repairs of and obtain replacement snow tires from Toyota dealers.
This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the opera-
tion of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
Fitting tire chains
■
The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function correctly
when tire chains are fitted.
