Road Information - Winter Driving Tips

Road_conditions1917

Winter driving on roads and highways in the snowcapped mountains of California can be a pleasant adventure or it can be frustrating, tiring and sometimes even hazardous. The California Department of Transportation provides the following information to help make your mountain driving safe and pleasant.

 

Before Heading for Snow Country:

  • Make sure your brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater and exhaust system are in top condition.
  • Check your antifreeze and be ready for colder temperatures.
  • You may need to add concentrated windshield washer fluid to the windshield washer fluid reservoir to prevent an icy windshield. More information about this type of windshield washer fluid can be found on the California Air Resources Board web site.
  • Check your tires. Make sure they are properly inflated and the tread is in good condition.
    Always carry chains. Make sure they are the proper size for your tires and are in working order. You might want to take along a flashlight and chain repair links. Chains must be installed on the drive wheels. Make sure you know if your vehicle is front or rear wheel drive.
  • Other suggested items to carry in your car are an ice scraper or commercial de-icer, a broom for brushing snow off your car, a shovel to free you car if it is "snowed in", sand or burlap for traction if your wheels should become mired in snow and an old towel to clean your hands.
  • It is also a good idea to take along water, food, warm blankets and extra clothing. A lengthy delay will make you glad you have them.
  • Weather conditions may warrant detouring traffic from the main roadway. It is strongly suggested that drivers always keep an updated map containing the areas of travel.
  • If you have a cellular telephone, pre-load the Caltrans Highway Information Network (CHIN) phone numbers for convenient, updated road conditions.
  • Put an extra car key in you pocket. A number of motorists have locked themselves out of their cars when putting on chains and at ski areas.

Driving Tips:

  • Allow enough time. Trips to the mountains can take longer during winter that other times of the year, especially if you encounter storm conditions or icy roads. Get an early start and allow plenty of time to reach your destination.
  • Keep your gas tank full. It may be necessary to change routes or turn back during a bad storm or you may be caught in a traffic delay.
  • Keep windshield and windows clear. You may want to stop at a safe turnout to use a snow brush or scraper. Use the car defroster and a clean cloth to keep the windows free of fog.
  • Slow down. A highway speed of 65 miles per hour may be safe in dry weather, but an invitation for trouble on snow and ice. Snow and ice make stopping distances much longer, so keep your seat belt buckled and leave more distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Bridge decks and shady spots can be icy when other areas are not. Remember to avoid sudden stops and quick direction changes.
  • Be more observant. Visibility is often limited in winter by weather conditions. Slow down and watch for other vehicles that have flashing lights, visibility may be so restricted during a storm that it is difficult to see the slow moving equipment.
  • When stalled, stay with your vehicle and try to conserve fuel while maintaining warmth. Be alert to any possible exhaust or monoxide problems.

Chain Requirements:

  • R1: Chains, traction devices or snow tires are required on the drive axle of all vehicles except four wheel/ all wheel drive vehicles.
  • R2: Chains or traction devices are required on all vehicles except four wheel/ all wheel drive vehicles with snow-tread tires on all four wheels.
    (NOTE: Four wheel/all wheel drive vehicles must carry traction devices in chain control areas.)
  • R3: Chains or traction devices are required on all vehicles, no exceptions.

Chain Controls:

  • You must stop and put on chains when highway signs indicate chains are required. You can be cited by the California Highway Patrol and fined if you don't. You will usually have about a mile between "Chains Required" signs and the checkpoint to install your chains.
  • Control areas can change rapidly from place to place because of changing weather and road conditions.
  • The speed limit when chains are required is 25 or 30 miles an hour.
  • When you put on chains, wait until you can pull completely off the roadway to the right. Do not stop in a traffic lane where you will endanger yourself and block traffic.
  • Chain Installers: If you use the services of a chain installer, be sure to get a receipt and jot the installer's badge number on it. Remember, chain installers are independent business people, not Caltrans employees. Having the badge number may help with any misunderstandings later. Chain installers are NOT allowed to sell or rent chains.
  • When removing chains, drive beyond the signs reading "End of Chain Control" to a pull-off area where you can safely remove them.

Caltrans Highway Information Network (CHIN):

Caltrans officials urge you to check road conditions often. To help keep abreast of changing conditions, Caltrans operates the Caltrans Highway Information Network which motorists may telephone - 800.427.7623 - for up-to-the-minute information in California and Western Nevada (Lake Tahoe/Reno Area). The network is updated as conditions change, and is voice-activated for safety and convenience.

Toyota Launches High School Safe Teen Driving Program

Toyota_driving_expectations

TORRANCE, Calif., Nov. 1, 2012 -- /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota is expanding its long-term commitment to safe teen driving with the introduction of an innovative national driver safety program, The Road Ahead, in high schools throughout Southern California. The program will benefit more than 6,000 local students in an effort to save lives and promote road safety. The Road Ahead is an expansion of Toyota's free, safe teen driving program, Toyota Driving Expectations, which began in 2004 and has benefited more than 20,000 teens and parents.

Featuring Erica Enders, a nationally recognized race car driver and subject of the original Disney movie "Right on Track," The Road Ahead kicks off its Southern California debut at selected high schools in the South Bay, Los Angeles and Orange County communities. Designed to educate and empower teens about road safety, the program engages students with high-impact video, live presentations and a distracted driving demonstration to teach them how to prepare, concentrate and observe the road ahead. During the simulated distracted driving experience, students will observe and understand the dangers associated with distractions behind the wheel. All programs are free and will take place during school hours.

"By bringing The Road Ahead to Southern California high schools, students will gain critical knowledge to help them become responsible drivers," said Michael Rouse, Toyota's vice president of diversity, philanthropy and community affairs. "With motor vehicle crashes remaining the leading cause of death for U.S. teens, it's important for Toyota to expand upon Toyota Driving Expectations in order to impact even more young drivers."

Enders is the first woman in history to qualify No.1 in the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Pro Stock Field and set a Guinness World Record. Sharing the inspiring story of realizing her dream, she also understands first-hand the importance of safe driving as she reaches speeds of more than 200 miles per hour when racing on the closed NHRA Pro Stock.

"Promoting safe driving early on is essential to help develop responsible habits behind the wheel as an adult," Enders said. "I'm excited to support this program and help students understand the importance of road safety."

In addition to The Road Ahead program in high schools, Toyota will once again offer Southern California teens and parents the free, behind-the-wheel defensive driving program, On the Road, in spring 2013. The 2.5-hour course supplements standard driving education courses with real-time opportunities to learn about defensive driving, the impact of distractions and safe habits. The program involves both driving time and classroom discussions, and is unique for requiring the participation of a parent or guardian to support coaching within the family.

Additional opportunities to learn safe driving techniques are available at select Toyota dealerships. In spring 2013, Toyota will offer free safety clinics at select Toyota dealerships covering vehicle dynamics and safety features, defensive driving, distracted driving and the importance of vehicle maintenance. The program offers parents and teens an opportunity to learn safe driving tips from professional instructors in a non-sales environment inside their local Toyota dealerships. The online Toyota Teen Driver program offers teens, parents and educators across the country access to free information and resources. Created in partnership with Discovery Education, the program also includes the Toyota Teen Driver Video Challenge and Educator Challenge, which offers teachers and students the opportunity to win prizes and scholarships by showing a commitment to safety.

10K Scion Fans Donate 25K Toys for Tots at Scion Night, Knott’s Scary Farm

TORRANCE, Calif., (Oct. 18, 2012) – Scion owners and their family and friends gathered at Southern California theme park Knott’s Berry Farm on Oct. 17, 2012 to donate a Toys for Tots gift and gain entry to haunted mazes, music performances and rides. It was the ninth year of Scion Night at Knott’s Scary Farm, the carmaker’s largest owner appreciation event.

Park entry was free for the first 10,000 people who arrived in a Scion, wore a seatbelt and donated a toy worth at least $10 to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign. A total of 50 Marines from Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach (Calif.) were on-site to accept the donations.

“Each year we appreciate the generosity of Scion and its owner community to include Toys for Tots in this event,” said Marine Gunnery Sgt. Willie McClendon. “The 25,000 toys donated this year means more children will smile a little brighter during the holiday season.”

Hours before the park opened for Halloween events, Scion owners gathered in the parking lot for aftermarket exhibits, food trucks, carnival games, music performances and hot lap driving demonstrations from Scion’s veteran drifter Ken Gushi.

“Scion Night is an opportunity to bring our customers together and say ‘thank you’ for the energy and enthusiasm they bring to this brand,” said Amit Chandarana, Los Angeles region Scion and e-commerce manager. “By also partnering with Toys for Tots, we leverage the incredible generosity of our owners and give back to our children in our communities.”

The parking lot was packed with more than 2,500 Scion vehicles with guests coming as far as Arizona and representing at least six Scion car clubs from the Southern California area.

Toyota Tundra Makes History Towing Space Icon

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 13, 2012) – A Toyota Tundra half-ton pickup truck without any special modifications successfully towed the space shuttle Endeavour and custom-built dolly -- a combined weight of nearly 300,000 pounds -- across a bridge spanning the nation’s busiest freeway on Friday night, Oct. 12. The tow was a result of a 20-year partnership between Toyota and the California Science Center to raise awareness of the space program and continue public education through exhibits and events.

The shuttle’s 12-mile route over city streets to its new home at the California Science Center includes one passage over the 405 Freeway. The Tundra assisted in the transport of the Endeavour as it journeyed over the Manchester Boulevard Bridge—an area that required a lighter tow mechanism than other portions of the route for weight distribution purposes. Toyota did extensive testing and worked with the Sarens Group, a heavy lifting and engineering transport company, to develop a dolly to move the Endeavour over the bridge.

“We’ve partnered with the California Science Center since the early '90s as part of our ongoing commitment to inspiring youth in the fields of engineering, innovation and future technology, and we are honored to lend our support for this historic event,” said Michael Rouse, vice president of community affairs and philanthropy for Toyota.

The model selected was a stock 2012 Tundra CrewMax 4x4 with Toyota’s 5.7-liter iForce V8, producing 381 horsepower. All Tundra trucks are produced exclusively at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Texas in San Antonio. The truck used to tow the Endeavour was purchased from a Southern California Toyota dealer, with no modifications or special equipment added for the tow.

The Tundra was piloted by longtime Toyota professional driver Matt McBride. Riding along was Garrett Reisman, one of the astronauts aboard the orbiter when it traveled to the International Space Station in 2008. From start to finish, it took about five minutes to cross the bridge.

“I’m honored to be part of the space shuttle Endeavour’s final mission to the California Science Center,” said Garrett Reisman, an engineer and former NASA astronaut. “I appreciate Toyota’s support in helping bring this space icon home to the Southern California community.”

The Science Center has a popular working exhibit utilizing a Tundra that demonstrates the physics of leverage. The Tundra used to tow the shuttle will replace the existing truck when the Endeavour exhibit opens on Oct. 30, 2012.

Microsoft Continues Collaboration With Toyota to Drive Its New Global Communications Infrastructure

Toyota_microsoft_collaboration

REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. today announced that Toyota Motor Corp. has chosen Microsoft's technology platforms to build its communications and collaboration infrastructure for the Toyota family of companies worldwide.

Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., and other affiliates in North America began the deployment of Microsoft Office 365-dedicated cloud services as their exclusive environment in June 2012. In Japan and other overseas affiliates, Toyota will be leveraging a hybrid model, with on-premises editions of Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Lync and Windows Server.

Microsoft will help Toyota provide these services to more than 200,000 employees around the world during the next two years. The goal of implementing this Microsoft platform is to better support mobile devices, reduce costs, and improve collaboration between employees with state-of-the-art enterprise social networking, conferencing, messaging and information-sharing tools.

"We continually strive to make our business stronger by improving Toyota's organizational health, and today's announcement to upgrade our communications is another step toward that goal," said Shigeki Tomoyama, managing officer at Toyota. "We strongly believe that Microsoft has the most capable platform that delivers ease, excellence and efficiency required to provide the communication experience our employees expect."

"Toyota's decision to deploy Office 365, Exchange, SharePoint, Lync and Windows Server to its 200,000 employees worldwide is further evidence of the enterprise-class quality and scalability of the world's most popular productivity platform, as well as another key milestone in our growing alliance together," said Microsoft Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner. "By seamlessly integrating both cloud and on-premises environments, Toyota will enable its employees to effortlessly collaborate and communicate with each other, whether they are within the same four walls or in locations around the world."

This announcement represents an expansion of Toyota's collaboration with Microsoft technologies. In April 2011, Toyota and Microsoft partnered to provide next-generation telematics services using the Windows Azure cloud platform. Today's announcement expands that initial investment and includes participation in Microsoft early adopter programs to test new products before they are released.

"I am delighted that, following the forging of our strategic agreement in 2011, Toyota has chosen the Microsoft platform to build its global IT communication infrastructure and that our two companies are further expanding their partnership as a result," said Yasuyuki Higuchi, president and CEO, Microsoft Japan. "The building of a communication infrastructure for the 200,000-plus users in Toyota and its group companies in Japan, America and throughout the world is one of the largest projects that Microsoft has ever undertaken."

Meet the 2013 Toyota Avalon: A Design Story

What inspired the 2013 Avalon? Watch Toyota's leading designers and engineers explain how they turned a "magic sketch" into something extraordinary.

Thanks to Andy for the Great Review of Toyota Sunnyvale's Service Department on Yelp

"Paul Matsui and his service techs are awesome! After several re-scheduling on their web site for my appointment, I finally brought my car in for a routine maintenance on a Sunday and brought up this problem of non-functioning marker and taillights I just noticed the other night. After a full day's diagnosis, Paul came back and told me something is causing the fuse for these lights to pop and they will need more time to find out the cause. I really needed the car to go to work the next day so I told Paul I will need to re-schedule this for some other time when he is there and left.

I went back on that following Friday worrying about if they can get this fixed before I get a fix-it ticket or worse yet, an accident. That afternoon Paul called and told me that they found a pinched wire from one of the taillights that's touching the car body hence shorting out the fuse. Paul told me he will deal with Toyota on this issue and handed me my car key (well, key-less key). Thank you! What a relief to not have to worry about things that we take for granted day in and day out anymore! That experience is now just enhanced with a super service from a super friendly service adviser!" -Andy C.

Thank you, Andy, for the very kind review of Toyota Sunnyvale's service department. Paul and our whole team provide a low stress and minimum inconvenience service environment for all of our customers, and they do what it takes to make sure your service needs are met.

Thank You, Dianne, for the Five Stars on Cars.com

"Brenda Silva was great to work with. She suggested cars to look at and made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. The service department fixed a trunk liner issue very quickly for us and Brenda worked with management on an accomodation for a dashboard light being out. Overall I found the experience trouble free and smooth. Thanks." -Dianne

Toyota Serves as Presenting Sponsor of the 41st Fiesta DC Festival Latino 2012

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Sept. 23, 2012) — Toyota today served as the presenting sponsor of the District of Columbia’s largest Latino Festival— Fiesta DC – further demonstrating its commitment to the Latino community. With more than 100,000 attendees, Fiesta DC featured five stages incorporating music, folklore, theater, and other performing arts. In addition, the event included a Children’s Festival, a Science Fair, a Community-Based Organization Information Fair, a Diplomatic Pavilion for embassies and consulates and sections for arts & crafts, public information and international cuisine. This flagship event brought together community leaders, social media and technology influencers, educators, government officials and others to celebrate the contributions of the U.S. Latino community.

As the exclusive automotive sponsor, Toyota engaged participants with activities aimed to showcase its revolutionary safety program for Hispanic families, Buckle-Up for Life (BUFL), and displayed some of the best-selling Toyota models in the Hispanic market.

Other Toyota activities included:

  • an interactive photo booth providing official photos for Fiesta DC;
  • seat belt and child car seat safety information and giveaways;
  • and opportunities to interact with the popular Toyota RAV4 and Camry.

Toyota also is kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15) with the launch of @ToyotaLatino on Twitter. The new handle will provide the company opportunities to highlight and celebrate the community, engage at live events such as Fiesta DC and share more vehicle information with owners and enthusiasts.

“Fiesta DC has a 41-year history of highlighting the diversity of the Latin American culture,” said Julie Hamp, Toyota’s North American chief communications officer. “Toyota is honored to celebrate this event and Latino heritage during Hispanic Heritage Month and beyond.”

Since 2004, Toyota has been the leading automotive brand among the U.S. Latino community. Data indicates nearly one of six Latino buyers choose a Toyota when purchasing a car or truck, the highest of any brand.  Toyota brands make up more than half of all U.S. hybrid purchases by Latinos.

Toyota Sunnyvale Appreciates TJ's Five-Star Review on Yelp

"Wow...either i was lucky or I'm reviewing a different dealership. Hopefully my positive experience can balance things a bit.

But anyhow, I've recently purchased my second Scion at Toyota Sunnyvale, after having a pleasant experience the first time around. The sales representative that I met with helped streamlined the whole process, while being courteous, upfront, and thorough during the whole process. And after doing my homework i was pleased to find that his words were on the level...and that they had just what I was looking for--an honest and fair deal.

I recognize that a good or bad experience can come down to the person you happen to wind up getting as the representative that day. For me, Vu Nguyen was my contact person. I earn my trust quickly and I never felt any pressure during our engagements. I'm hoping that his efforts to create a positive image for the Dealership is noticed." -TJ P.
