GAUTION:

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, avoid reclining the seatback any mole than needed. The seat belts provide maximum plotect¡on when the driver and the passengcr are sifting up straight and well back in the seats. lf you are reclined, the lap belt may slide pa$t your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen, The¡efore, in the event

RADIO

FM broadcasts have a range of about

40 km or 25 miles.

When driving away from a station you may have to fine-tune your radio and turn up the volume as the station gets weaker. Because FM uses a line-of-sight signal, tall buildings or hills may sometimes block reception. These are all normal characteristics of

FM receptkrn and do not indicate any problem with the radb itself.

The antenna automatically extends to its full height when the radio and ignition are turned on, and retracts when either is turned off.

Before extending the rrtenna, confirm that no one is close eno.4ñ to get pushed.

Facts about eng¡ne o¡l consumpt¡on

FUNCTIONS OF

ENGINE

OIL

Engine oil has the primary functions of lubricating and cooling the inside of the engine' and plays a major role in maintaining the engine in proper working order.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION

It is normal that an engine should consume some engine oil during normal engine operation. The causes of oil consumpt¡on

¡n a normal engine are as follows' o

Oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinder. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a p¡ston moves downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated when decelerating sucks some the vehicle is of this oil into the combustion chamber' This oil as well as some part of inder the oil film left on the cylwall is burned by the high temperature combustion gases during the combustion process.

o

Oil is also used to lubricate the stems of the intake valves. Some

of

this oil is sucked ¡nto gether the combustion chamber towith the intake air and is burned along with the fuel'

High temperature exhaust gases also burn the oil used to lubricate the exhaust valve stems.

The amount on of engine oil consumed depends the viscos¡ty of the oil, the quality of the oil and the conditions the vehicle is driven under.

More oil is consumed under such driven condit¡ons as high speeds and frequent acceleration and deceleration'

A new engine consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls have not become conditioned.

When judging t¡on, note the make the amount oil may of oil become consumpdiluted and it difñcr¡h to judge the true level accurately.

As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated amount short trips, and consumes of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the o¡l level at all, even

(6OO a normal after

1OO0 km miles) or more. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted ture. making with fuel or moisit appear that the oil level has not changed.

The diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle is then driven at high speeds, as on an expressway, making it appear that o¡l is excessively consumed after dr¡ving at high speeds.

LEVEL CHECK

One of the most important points in proper vehicle maintenance is at the optimum level so to keep the engine oil that oil function will not be ¡mpaired. Therefore, it is essential that the oil level be checked regularly. Toyota ommends time you refuel the vehicle.

Anti-lock brake system lvehicles lock brake system warning light) with anti-

The anti-lock brake system prevent lock-up is designed to of the wheels during sudden braking or braking on slippery surfaces. This helps the vehicle remain steerable and stable under these circumstances.

The system functions with normal pedal operation. When the anti-lock function is in action, a pulsation of the brake pedal may result. together with

a

characteristic noise.

This indicates that the system is functioning properly.

The anti-lock brake system comes into operat¡on when the vehicle is accelerating and the vehicle speed reaches approximately

1O km/h (6 mph). lt stops operating when the vehicle

¡s decelerating and the vehicle speed falls below approximately 5 km/h

(3 mph).

You may hear a sound in the engine compartment for a few seconds when the engine is started or just after the vehicle is started.

This means that the anti-lock brake system is in the self check mode, and does not

¡ndicate a malfunction.

Even if the anti-lock brake system is in operation full stabil¡ty of the vehicle cannot be maintained for certa¡n slippery road conditions or high speed driving when cornering.

Even with the anti-lock brake system

¡nstalled, it is still important to drive with all due care.

Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Compared with vehicles not fitted w¡th an anti-lock brake system, your vehicle requires a longer stopping distance in the follwing cases: o

Driving on rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.

o

Driving with tire chains installed.

o

Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has other differences in surface height.

Avoid high speeds on wet roads. The antilock brake system cannot eliminate the risk of aquaplaning.

Tips for driving in various conditions o

Always slow down in gusty crosswinds.

This will allow you much better control.

o

Drive slowly onto curbs and, if possible, at a right angle. Avoid driving onto high, sharp-edged ards. Failure objects and other road hazto do so can lead to severe t¡re damage resulting in tire bursts.

r

Your vehicle has low ground clearance as a result of its high-performance design.

Take care to avo¡d hitting your front or rear bumper on curbs, or scraping them when driving onto steep driveways, trailer ramps, etc.

o

When parking on

a

hill, turn the front wheels until the vehicle they touch the curb so that will not roll.

Apply the parking brake, and place the transmission in first or reverse. lf necessary, block the wheels.

o

Washing your vehicle or driving through deep water may get the brakes see whether wet.

To they are wet. check that there is no traffic near you, and then press the pedal lightly. lf you do not feel a normal braking force, the brakes are probably wet.

To dry them, drive the vehicle cautiously while lightly pressing the brake pedal with the parking brake pulled. lf they still do not work safely, pull side to the of the road and call a Toyota dealer for assistance.

Trailer towing

Your vehicle is designed primarily

as

a passenger-carrying vehicle. Towing a trailer will have an adverse effect on handling, performance, braking, durability economy (fuel consumption. and driving

etc.l.

Your safety and sat¡sfaction 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 damage do not apply to or malfunction caused by towing a trailer for commercial purposes. Ask your local

Toyota dealer for further details before towing, as there are additional legal requirements in some countries.

WEIGHT LIMITS

Before towing, confirm the towing capacity with your local Toyota dealer or the vehicle documents and make sure your trailer is within the towing capacity.

To ensure the visibility of rear number plate, remove the bracket when not towing.

TIRES o

Ensure that your vehicle's tires are properly inflated.

See

Chapter 7-2 for instructions.

o

The trailer tires should be inflated to the pressure recommended by the trailer manufacturer in respect

to

the total trailer weight.

TRAILER LIGHTS o

Check for correct operation of the turn signals and stop lights each t¡me you hitch up. Direct splicing may damage your vehicle's electrical system and cause a malfunction of your lights,

SCHEDULE o

Toyota recommends that you do not tow a trailer w¡th a new vehicle or a vehicle with any new power train component (engine, transmission, differential, wheel bearing, etc.) for the first

8OO km

(5OO miles) of driving.

MAINTENANCE o lf you tow a trailer, your vehicle will require more frequent maintenace due to the additional load.

PRE.TOWING SAFETY CHECK o

Be sure not to exceed designated maximun load for the ball coupling of the towing bracket. Please remember that the ball coupling load will increase the load on the vehicle. Maximum permissible rear axle capacity must not be exceeded.

o

Be sure the tra¡ler cargo is securely loaded so that it may not shift.

o lf the traffic behind the trailer cannot be seen properly w¡th the standard rear view mirrors, additional outside mirrors will be necessary.

Both outside mirrors must be f¡tted on folding arms and adjusted to give a good rear view at all times.

How

to

save fuel and make your veh¡cle last longer, too

Getting more kilometers/mileage from a liter/ gallon of fuel is easy-just take it easy. lt will help make your vehicle last longer, too.

Here are some specific tips on how to save money on both fuel and repairs: o

Keep your tires inflated at the correct pressure. Underinflation causes tire wear and wastes fuel.

See Chapter 7-2 to¡ instructions.

o

Do not carry unneeded weight in your vehicle.

Excess weight puts a heavier load on the engine, causing greater fuel consumption.

o

Avoid lengthy warm-up idling.

Once the engine

Remember, however, cold winter days this may take that a in little longer.

o

Accelerate slowly and smoothly.

Avoid jackrabbit starts. Get quickly as possible.

Avoid long engine idlíng. lf you have long wait and you are not in traffic, befter it is

to

turn off the engine and start a again later.

o

Avoid engine lug o¡ overrevving. Use gear range su¡table for the road on which you are travelling.

a

102

Avoid continuous speeding up and slowing down.

Stop-and-go driving wastes f uel.

Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking.

Maintain a steady pace. Try to time the traffic signals so you only need to stop as little as possible or take advantage of through streets

Keep cles a proper distance from other vehito avoid to avoid traffic sudden braking. lights.

This will also reduce wear on your brakes.

Avoid heavy traffic or traffic jams whenever possible.

Do not rest your foot on the clutch or brake pedal. This causes needless wear, overheating and poor fuel economy.

Ma¡ma¡n a moderate speed on highways.

The faster you drive. the greater the fuel consumpt¡on.

By reducing your speed, you will cut down on fuel consumption.

Keep the front wheels

in

proper alignment. Avo¡d h¡tting the curb and slow down on rough roads. lmproper alignment not only causes faster tire wear but also puts an extra load on the engine, which, in turn, wastes fuel.

Keep the bottom of your vehicle free from mud, etc,

This not only lessens weight but also helps prevent corrosion.

o

Keep your vehicle tuned-up and ¡n top shape.

A dirty air cleaner, improper valve clearance,

dirty

plugs,

dirty

oil and grease, brakes not adjusted, etc. all lower engine performance and contribute to poor fuel economy. For longer life of all parts and lower operating costs, keep all maintenance work on schedule, and if you often drive under severe conditions, see that your vehicle receives more frequent maintenance (See Part 6).

Protecting your Toyota from corrosion

Toyota, through its diligent research, design and utilizing available, the most advanced technology has done its part to help prevent corrosion and has provided you with the finest quality vehicle construction.

Now, it is up to you.

Proper care of your

Toyota can help ensure long-term corrosion prevention.

The most common causes your vehicle are: of corrosion to o

The accumulation of road salt, dirt and moisture in hard-to-reach areas under the vehicle.

o

Chipping of paint, or undercoating caused

by

minor accidents

or

by stones and gravel.

Care is especially important ticular areas if you live in paror operate your vehicle under certain environmental conditions: o

Road salt or dust control chemicals will accelerate corrosion, as will the presence of salt in the air near the sea-coast or in areas of industr¡al pollution.

o

High humidity accelerates corrosion especially when temperatures range just above the freezing point.

a

Wetness or dampness to certain parts of your vehicle for an extended period of time, may cause corrosion even though other parts of the vehicle may be dry.

o

High temperatures will cause corrosion to those components are prevented of the vehicle which from quick-drying due to lack of proper ventilation.

Check the interior of your vehicle. Water and dirt can accumulate under the floor mats and could cause corrosion. Occasionally check under the mats to make sure the area is dry.

Be particularly careful when transporting chemicals, cleansers, fertilizers, and these should be transported salt, etc., in proper containers. lf a spill or leak should occur, immediately clean and dry the area.

Use mud shields on your wheels. lf you drive on salted or gravel roads, mud shields help protect your vehicle.

Full-size shields, which come as near to the ground as possible, are the best.

We recommend that the fitt¡ngs and the area where the shields are installed be treated to resist corrosion. Your

Toyota dealer will be happy and installing to assist in supplying the shields if they are recommended for your area.

Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly vent¡lated garage. lf you wash your vehicle in the garage. or if you drive it in covered with water or snow, your garage may be so damp it will cause corros¡on. Even if your garage is heated, a wet vehicle can corrode if the ventilation is poor.

Washing and wax¡ng your Toyota

Wash your vehicle in the shade when the body is not hot to the touch. Use a mild carwash soap and rinse it well.

Dirt can cause small scratches in the paint and the chemicals in some dirt and a¡r pollutants can cause deterioration of the paint and trim,

Therefore, frequent washing is recommended. lf you park or drive your

Toyota near the ocean or on salted roads, it is especially important to prevent corrosion.

Your vehicle can be washed in an automat¡c car wash.

Remember, however, paint surface could that the then be scratched with the brushes. Scratches reduce the pa¡nt's gloss retention and durability. They can become apparent easily. espec¡ally

on

the darker paints.

The following is the adequate procedure of car washing by hand.

1. Begin by rinsing all loose dirt off the vehicle with a hose. lf the underside has picked up mud or road salt, use a hard, direct stream from a hose to remove it.

2. Wash with a commerc¡al car-wash product available at your Toyota dealer or auto parts store. Follow the manufacturer's mixing instructions carefully. Dip your sponge or cloth into the wash bucket frequently and do not rub too hard-let the soap and water remove the dirt.

4.

Dry the vehicle with a moist chamois or soft towel.

The main purpose of drying is to remove excess air dry water so that tlre vehicle will without water spots. So do not rub or press hard, which might scratch the paint.

lf you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately to protect the bare metal from corrosion.

After washing your vehicle, make sure the brakes are fully dry before driving.

Polishing and waxing

is

recommended to maintain the original beauty of your Toyota's finish.

1. Always wash and dry the vehicle before you begin waxing, even if you are using a combined cleaner and wax.

2.

Use a good quality polish and wax. lf the finish has become extremely weathered, use a car-cleaning polish, followed by a separate wax.

Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions and precautions. Be sure to polish and wax the chrome trim as well as the paint.

3.

Wax the vehicle again when water does not bead but remains on the surface in large patches.

NOTICE:

Always remove the plastic bumpers if your vehicle is re-painted and placed in a high heat paint waxing booth, High tempeEturcs could damage the bumpers.

Touch-up paint may be used to cover small chips or scratches,

Apply the paint soon after the damage occurs or corrosion may set in. To do a good job, use a small artist's brush and stir the paint well.

Make sure the area is clean and dry. To apply the touch-up paint so it is hardly noticeable, the trick is to apply it only to the bare spots. Apply only the smallest amount possible and do not paint the surface around the scratch or chip.

Replacing wheels

WHEN TO

REPLACE YOUR

WHEELS lf you have wheel damage such as bends, cracks or heavy corrosion, the wheel should be replacedlf you fail to replace damaged wheels, the t¡re may slip off the wheel or they may cause loss of handling control.

WHEEL

SELECTON

When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that the wheels are replaced by ones rim with the same load capacity, diameter, width, and offset.

This must be observed on compact spare t¡res, too.

Correct replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer.

A wheel of a different size or type may adversely affect handling, wheel and bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odometer calibration, stopping ability, headlight a¡m, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tire or snow chain clearance to the body and chassis.

Replacement with used wheels is not recommended as they may have been subjected to rough treatment or high mileage and could

fail

without warning.

Also, bent wheels which have been straightened may have structural damage and therefore should not be used. Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire.

Aluminum wheel precaut¡ons o

After driving your vehicle the first

16OO km (10O0 miles), check that the wheel nuts are tioht.

. lf you hafe repaired or changed your tires, check thht the wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1600 km

(1OOO miles).

o

When using tire chains, be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels.

o

Use only the

Toyota wheel nuts and wrench designed for your aluminum wheels.

When balancing your wheels, use only

Toyota balance weights or equivalent and a plastic or rubber hammer.

Pull a suspected fuse stra¡ght out and check it.

Determine problem. which fuse may be causing the

The lid of the fuse box shows the name of the circuit for each fuse.

See part

8 of this manual for the functions controlled by each circuit.

Type A fuses pull out by using the pull-out tool.

lf you are not sure whether the fuse has blown, try replacing the suspected fuse with one that you know is good.

lf the fuse has blown, push a new fuse into the clip.

lnstall only a fuse with an amperage rating designated on the fuse box lid.

lf you do not have a spare fuse, in an emergency you can pull out the "RAD

"DOME",

"A.C" or

"HTR"

ClG", fuse, which may be dispensable for normal driving, and use it if its amperage rating is the same.

lf you cannot use one of the same amperage, use one ble that is lower, but as close as possito, the rating. lf the amperage is lower than that specified, the fuse might blow out again but this does not indicate anything wrong.

Be sure to get a correct fuse as soon as possible and return the subst¡tute to its original clip.

It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep them in your vehicle for emergencies.

lf the new fuse immediately blows out, there is a problem with the electrical system.

Have your Toyota dealer correct it as soon as possible.

GAUTION: r¡nr¡rntrtr¡rrlt¡¡n¡¡t¡¡rtrutr¡rtut

IIever use a fuse with a higher amperage rating or any other object in place of a fuse. This may causo extensive damage and possibly a fire.
