(e) Good driving practice
D If the transmission is repeatedly up-
shifted and downshifted between third
gear and overdrive when climbing a
gentle slope, the overdrive switch
should be turned off. Be sure to turn
the switch on immediately afterward.
D When towing a trailer, in order to main-
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use overdrive.

Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.

overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.

flashes
Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible. There may be trouble in the
