Selecting Tire Chains; Driving With Snow Tires - Toyota COROLLA iM 2017 Service Manual

When driving the vehicle
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road con-
ditions.
When parking the vehicle
● Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P (continuously variable
transmission), 1 or R (manual transmission) without setting the park-
ing brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from
being released. If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking
brake, make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehi-
cle to move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an accident.
● Vehicles with a continuously variable transmission: If the vehicle is
parked without setting the parking brake, confirm that the shift lever
cannot be moved out of P
*
: The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any
other position without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
