Use a washer fluid containing an anti-
freeze solution.
This product is available at your Toyota
dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow
the manufacturer's directions for how
much to mix with water.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or any
other substitute as washer fluid be-
cause 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" (automatic) or into first or reverse
(manual) and block the rear wheels. Do
not use the parking brake, or snow or wa-
ter accumulated 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.

Trailer towing
Your vehicle is designed primarily as a
passenger-carrying vehicle. Towing a
trailer will have an adverse effect on
handling, performance, braking, durabili-
ty and driving economy (fuel consump-
tion, etc.). Your safety and satisfaction
depend on the proper use of correct
equipment and cautious driving habits.
For your safety and the safety of others,
you must not overload your vehicle or
trailer. Toyota warranties do not apply to
damage or malfunction caused by tow-
ing a trailer for commercial purposes.
Ask your local Toyota dealer for further
details before towing.
WEIGHT LIMITS
Before towing, make sure the total trailer
weight, gross combination weight, gross
vehicle weight, gross axle weight and trail-
er tongue load are all within the limits.
The total trailer weight and tongue load
can be measured with platform scales
found at a highway weighing station,
building supply company, trucking com-
pany, junk yard, etc.
