Shopping 101: The Buddy System

Whether you’re stocking up at the warehouse clubs, getting the weekly groceries, or hitting the mall for the holidays, the right partner makes all the difference. Try these suggestions for maximizing efficiency on your next shopping excursion (with a little help from some “friends”).
 

An Extra Pair of Hands

Take a family member along to divide and conquer. Streamline your in-store experience by tearing your shopping list in half, splitting up, and meeting at the checkout. Make it a race and make it more interesting: The winner gets to buy a special treat, or the loser buys lunch.

The All-Knowing Guide

Navigation systems save drivers so much more than stress. Program yours to find the most efficient route between shopping destinations and ensure you save time as well as gas money. Stuck in holiday mall traffic? Steer clear of congestion and let it recalculate your next move—instantly.

The Right Set of Wheels

An available navigation system (with integrated backup camera and XM® Radio ) is just one of the features that make the 2011 Toyota Highlander the perfect partner for shopping and much more. Highlander now comes standard with a 50/50 split fold-flat third-row seat that helps in a great number of situations, such as when you want to carry multiple “shopping buddies” plus some unwieldy cargo. Take advantage of hands-free phone and music streaming via Bluetooth wireless technology so you can make and return important calls in between errands.

1. Availability and accuracy of the information provided by the navigation system or any XM services mentioned (if installed) are dependent upon many factors. Use common sense when relying on information provided. Services not available in every city or roadway. Periodic navigation updates available at additional cost. See your Navigation System Owner’s Manual or contact XM for details.

2. The backup camera does not provide a comprehensive view of the rear area of the vehicle. You should also look around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance. Cold weather will limit effectiveness and view may become cloudy.

3. XM services require a subscription after 90-day trial period. Subscriptions governed by XM Customer Agreement available at xmradio.com. If you decide to continue your XM service at the end of your complimentary trial, the plan you choose will automatically renew and bill at then-current rates unless you call 1-800-967-2346 to cancel.
