'01CAMRY CNG (L/O0009) Winter driving tips CAUTION D Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit permits it, do not drive over 140 km/h (85 mph) unless your vehicle has high−speed capability tires. Driving over 140 km/h (85 mph) may result in tire failure, loss of control and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer to determine whether the tires on your vehicle are high−speed capability tires or not before driving at such speeds. D Before driving off, make sure that the parking brake is fully released and the parking brake reminder light is off. If the ignition switch is turned off when it is extremely cold, following situations may occur. When it is extremely cold, the engine may keep on for a few seconds even if the ignition switch is turned off. This is normal. Make sure you have a proper freeze protection of engine coolant. Your coolant must contain ethylene−glycol type coolant for a proper corrosion protection of aluminum components. Use "TOYOTA Long Life Coolant" or equivalent. See Section 7−2 for details about coolant type selection. D Do not leave your vehicle unattended while the engine is running. D Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving. It can cause dangerous overheating, needless wear, and poor fuel economy. D To drive down a long or steep hill, reduce your speed and downshift. Remember, if you ride the brakes excessively, they may overheat and not work properly. D Do not continue normal driving when the brakes are wet. If they are wet, your vehicle will require a longer stopping distance, and it may pull to one side when the brakes are applied. Also, the parking brake will not hold the vehicle securely. NOTICE Do not use alcohol type antifreeze or plain water alone. When it is extremely cold, we recommend to use 60% solution for your Toyota, to provide protection down to about −50°C ( −58°F). Do not use more than 70% solution for better coolant performance. D Be careful when accelerating, upshifting, downshifting or braking on a slippery surface. Sudden acceleration or engine braking could cause the vehicle to spin or skid. 132 2001 CAMRY CNG_U (OM33542U)
