Trailer Towing - Toyota RAV4 2000 Owner's Manual

Use a washer fluid containing an anti-
freeze solution.
This product is available at your EV ser-
vice station and most auto parts stores.
Follow the manufacturer's directions for
how much to mix with water.
NOTICE
Do not use antifreeze or any other
substitute because it may damage
your vehicle's paint.
Do not use your parking brake when
there is a possibility it could freeze.
When parking, put the transmission into
"P" and block the rear wheels. Do not use
the parking brake, or snow or water accu-
mulated in and around the parking brake
mechanism may freeze, making it hard to
release.
Keep ice and snow from accumulating
under the fenders.
Ice and snow built up under your fenders
can make steering difficult. During bad
winter driving, stop and check under the
fenders occasionally.
Depending on where you are driving,
we recommend you carry some emer-
gency equipment.
Some of the things you might put in the
vehicle are tire chains, window scraper,
bag of sand or salt, flares, small shovel,
etc.
