Down Push the lock release button and slide the height adjuster down. Seat belt pretensioners (front seats) The pretensioner helps the seat belt to quickly restrain the occu− pant by retracting the seat belt when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of severe frontal collision. The pretensioner may not acti− vate in the event of a minor frontal impact, a side impact or a rear impact. 52 1−3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel) Emergency locking retractor (ELR) The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend so that you can move around fully. 1 Automatic locking retractor (ALR) Pregnant women Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. ( P. 51) Women who are pregnant should position the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in the same manner as other occu− pants. Extend the shoulder belt com− pletely over the shoulder and position the belt across the chest. Avoid belt contact over the rounding of the abdominal area. If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only a pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suffer death or serious injury as a result of sudden braking or a collision. People suffering illness Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. Child seat belt usage The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult size. Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child become large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. ( P. 90) When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, follow the instructions on P. 51 regarding seat belt usage. 53 Before driving When a passenger’s shoulder belt is completely extended and then retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more. ( P. 90) 1−3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel) Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated The seat belts cannot be used after a pretensioner has been activated. After an accident, have the pretensioners inspected by your Toyota dealer. Make sure the pretensioners are replaced if they have been activated. Seat belt extender If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely because they are not long enough, a personalized seat belt extender is available from your Toyota dealer free of charge. CAUTION Wearing a seat belt Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden braking or an accident. Failing to do so may cause death or severe injury. Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt. Always wear a seat belt properly. Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more than one person at once, including children. Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system. Do not recline the seat any more than necessary to achieve a proper seat− ing position. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up straight and well back in the seats. Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm. Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips. 54 1−3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel) CAUTION Seat belt pretensioners Seat belt damage and wear Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be jammed in the door. Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat belt cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury. Ensure that the belt and tab are locked and the belt is not twisted. If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Toyota dealer. Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage. Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Toyota dealer. Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating properly resulting in death or serious injury. Using a seat belt extender Do not wear the seat belt extender, if you can fasten the seat belt without the extender. Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system, because the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increas− ing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision. The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when used by another person, or at a different seating position other than the one originally intended. 55 1 Before driving Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger ’s seat. Doing so will disperse the passenger ’s weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting the passenger ’s weight properly. As a result, the seat belt pretensioner for the front passenger ’s seat may not activate in the event of a collision. 1−3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel) NOTICE When using a seat belt extender When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the extender, not on the seat belt.

Refueling CAUTION Refueling the vehicle Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so, may result in death or serious injury. Touch the vehicle or some other metal surface to discharge any static electricity. Sparks resulting from discharging static electricity may cause the fuel vapors to ignite. Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it. A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened. Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out of the filler neck and cause injury. Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their bodies to come close to an open fuel tank. Do not inhale vaporized fuel. Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled. Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle. Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire. Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically charged. This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible engine hazard. When replacing the fuel tank cap Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in death or serious injury. 66 1−5.

Safety information Correct driving posture Drive in a good posture as follows: Sit upright and well back in the seat. ( P. 4 3 ) 1 Before driving Adjust the position of the seat forward or backward to ensure the pedals can be reached and easily depressed to the extent required. ( P. 43) Adjust the seatback so that the controls are easily oper− able. Adjust the tilt positions of the steering wheel down− ward so the airbag is facing your chest. ( P. 5 7 ) Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head restraint closest to the top of your ears. ( P. 49) Wear the seat belt correctly. ( P. 51) 71 1−7. Safety information CAUTION While driving Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving. Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback. A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint, increasing the risk of death or serious injury to the driver or passenger. Do not place anything under the front seats. Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci− dent. The adjustment mechanism may also be damaged. Adjusting the seat position Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen− gers are not injured by the moving seat. Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid injury. Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism. 72 1−7. Safety information SRS airbags The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce the risk of death or serious injury. 1 Before driving 3 2 1 1 2 Front airbags Driver airbag/front passenger airbag Can help protect the head and ches t of the driver and front pas− senger from impact with interior components. Side and curtain shield airbags Side airbags Can help protect the torso of the front seat occupants. Curtain shield airbags Can help protect primarily the head of outside occupants. 73 1−7.

Safety information Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sys− tem controls airbag deployment po wer for the driver and front pas− senger. The driver airbag system consists of the driver seat’s position sensor etc. The front passenger’s airbag system consists of the front 1 passenger occupant classification sensor etc. In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag sys− tem triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non−toxic gas to help rest rain the motion of the occupants. SRS warning light This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors, side and curtain shield airbag sensor assemblies, curtain shield air− bag sensor assemblies, driver ’s seat position sensor, driver ’s seat belt buckle switch, front passenger occupant classification system, AIR BAG ON indicator light, AIR BAG OFF indicator light, front passenger ’s seat belt buckle switch, seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflators, interconnecting wiring and power sources. ( P. 332) If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying (inflating) SRS airbag. A loud noise and white powder will be emitted. Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, and parts of the front and rear pillars and roof side rail, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot. The front windshield may crack. 75 Before driving The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and an airbag sensor. 1−7. Safety information Operating conditions (front airbags) The SRS front airbags will deploy if the severity of the frontal impact is above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximate 15 mph (25 km/h) collision when the vehicle impacts straight into a fixed bar− rier that does not move or deform. However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision (e.g. a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck, etc.). It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of the vehicle is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front air− bags and the seat belt pretensioners may not activate together. The SRS front passenger airbag will not activate if there is no passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front passenger airbag may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccupied. ( P. 8 5 ) Operating conditions (side airbags and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are designed to inflate when the passenger compartment is subjected to a severe impact from the side. The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat will not activate if there is no passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the side airbag on the passenger seat may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccupied. ( P. 85) 76 1−7. Safety information Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration. 1 Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard surface Landing hard or vehicle falling Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag (front airbags) The SRS front airbags are generally not designed to inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low− speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes suffi− cient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front air− bags may occur. Collision from the side Collision from the rear Vehicle rollover 77 Before driving Falling into or jumping over a deep hole 1−7. Safety information Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag (side airbags and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system may not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a colli− sion to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment. Collision from the side to the vehicle body other than the passenger com− partment Collision from the side at an angle The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are not generally designed to inflate if the vehicle is involved in a frontal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low−speed side collision. Collision from the front Collision from the rear Vehicle rollover 78 1−7. Safety information When to contact your Toyota dealer In the following cases, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. Do not disconnect the battery cables before contacting your Toyota dealer. Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated. 1 A portion of a door is damaged or deformed, or the vehicle was involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags to inflate. The pad section of the steering wheel or dashboard near the front passenger airbag is scratched, cracked, or other− wise damaged. The surface of the seats with the side airbag is scratched, cracked or other− wise damaged. The portion of the front pillars, rear pil− lars or roof side rail garnishes (padding) containing the curtain shield airbags is scratched, cracked or otherwise dam− aged. 79 Before driving The front of the vehicle is damaged or deformed, or was involved in an acci− dent that was not severe enough to cause the SRS airbags to inflate. 1−7. Safety information CAUTION SRS airbag precautions Observe the following precautions regarding the airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts. The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) advises: Since the risk zone for driver airbag is the first 2 − 3 in. (50 − 75 mm) of infla− tion, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) fr om your driver airbag provides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in. (250 mm) away now, you can change your driving position in several ways: S Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably. S Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim− ply by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non−slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature. S If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air− bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck. The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls. 80 1−7. Safety information CAUTION SRS airbag precautions The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air− bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright. Improperly seated and/or restrainedinfants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys− tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are the safest for infants and children. ( P. 90) 81 1 Before driving If the seat belt extender has been con− nected to the driver ’s seat belt buckle but the seat belt extender has not also been fastened to the latch plate of the driver ’s seat belt, the SRS driver ’s air− bag system will judge that the driver is wearing the seat belt even though the seat belt has not been connected. In this case, the driver ’s airbag may not activate correctly in a collision, resulting in death or serious injury in the event of collision. Be sure to wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender. 1−7. Safety information CAUTION SRS airbag precautions Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard. Do not allow a child to sit on the knees of a front passenger while the vehicle is moving. Do not drive the vehicle while the driver or passenger has items resting on their knees. Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pil− lars. Do not allow anyone to kneel on the passenger seat toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehicle. 82 1−7. Safety information CAUTION SRS airbag precautions Do not attach anything to areas such as the door, windshield glass, side door glass, front and rear pillars, roof side rail or assist grip. Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items could become projectiles and seriously injure or kill you, should the SRS curtain shield airbag deploy. Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags. Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air− bag components shown on P. 74. Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction. Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air− bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot. If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has deployed, open a door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation. If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your Toyota dealer. 83 1 Before driving Do not attach anything to or lean any− thing against areas such as the dash− board or steering wheel pad. These items can become projectiles when SRS driver and front passenger airbags deploy. 1−7. Safety information CAUTION Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications without consulting your Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury. Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags. Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel, instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front and rear pil− lars or roof side rails.

Safety information CAUTION Front passenger occupant classification system precautions Observe the following precautions r egarding front passenger occupant clas− sification system. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. Wear the seat belt properly. Make sure the front passenger ’s seat belt tab has not been left inserted into the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat. Make sure the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is not illuminated when using the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender after making sure the AIR BAG ON indicator light is illuminated. If you use the seat belt extender while the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated, the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger side may not activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in the event of collision. Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or equipment. Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands or feet on the front passenger seat seatback from the rear passenger seat. Do not let a rear passenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet or press on the seatback with their legs. Do not put objects under the front passenger seat. Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a rear seat. This may cause the AIR BAG OFF indicator light to be illuminated, which indicates that the passenger ’s airbags will not deploy in the event of a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear seat, return the seat− back to a position where it does not touch the rear seat. Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt system. 88 1−7. Safety information CAUTION Front passenger occupant classification system precautions When it is unavoidable to install the forward−facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat in the proper order. ( P. 93) Do not modify or remove the front seats. Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Other− wise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the detection system. In this case, contact your Toyota dealer immediately. Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the front seatbacks. 89 Before driving If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the AIR BAG ON indicator light is illuminated. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator is illuminated, ask the passen− 1 ger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and with the seat belt worn correctly. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator still remain illumi− nated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is not possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward. 1−7. Safety information Child restraint systems A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be prop− erly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of child restraint systems. Points to remember Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat is much safer than installing one to the front passenger seat. Choose a child restraint system appropriate to the age and size of the child. For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the child restraint system. General installation instructions are provided in this manual. ( P. 9 3 ) Types of child restraints Child restraint systems are clas sified into the following 3 types according to the age and size of the child. Infant seat 90 1−7. Safety information Convertible seat 1 Before driving Booster seat When the child restraint system is not in use Leave the child restraint system properly secured on the seat. Do not store the restraint loosely on a passenger seat or in the luggage compartment. Selecting an appropriate child restraint system Get an appropriate child restraint system for the child. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat and use the vehicle’s seat belt. ( P. 51) CAUTION Child restraint precautions For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior. 91 1−7. Safety information CAUTION Child restraint precautions Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con− forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci− dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. Never install a rear−facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat even if AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear−facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat. A forward−facing child restraint system should allowed to be installed on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as far back as possible even if AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illumi− nated, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured. Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system on the front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or seri− ous injury to the child or other passengers in the event of collision. Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the sea t, front and rear pillars or roof side rail from which the side airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side air− bags and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child. Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or accident. 92 1−7. Safety information Installing child restraints Follow the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions. Firmly secure child restraints to the outside rear seats using a seat belt or a child restraint lower anchor belt. Attach the top strap when installing a child restraint. 1 Before driving Seat belts equipped with a child restraint locking mecha− nism (ALR/ELR belts except driver ’s seat belt) ( P. 51) Child restraint lower anchor− ages Lower anchorages are pro− vided for the outside rear seats.

Safety information When the anchor bracket is not in use Lower the anchor bracket. The anchor bracket is only designed to secure the top strap. Do not use the anchor bracket for any other purpose. CAUTION When installing a booster seat Do not fully extend the shoulder belt to prevent the belt from going to ALR lock mode. ( P. 53) ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only which could cause injury or dis− comfort to the child. Do not allow the child to play with the seat belt or the child could be killed or seriously injured. 100 1−7. Safety information CAUTION When installing a child restraint system If the driver’s seat interferes with the child restraint system and prevents it from being attached correctly, attach the child restraint system to the right− hand rear seat. Only put a forward facing or booster child seat on the front seat when unavoidable. When installing a forward facing or booster child seat on the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible even if AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury if the airbags deploy (inflate). When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s shoulder. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event of an accident or sudden braking. Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted. Push and pull the child restraint system in different directions to be sure it is secure. Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer. 101 1 Before driving Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual and fix the child restraint system securely in place. If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking or an accident. 1−7. Safety information CAUTION Do not use a seat belt extender If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a colli− sion. To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchorages When using the lower anchorages, be sure that there are no foreign objects around the anchorages and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child restraint. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached, or it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or accident. 102 2−1.

Driving in the rain Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the windows may become fogged−up, and the road will be slippery. Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be especially slippery. Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain, because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly. Breaking in your new Toyota To extend the life of the vehicle, the following precautions are recommended to observe: For the first 200 miles (300 km): Avoid sudden stops. For the first 500 miles (800 km): Do not tow a trailer. For the first 1000 miles (1600 km): S S S S Do not drive at extremely high speeds. Avoid sudden acceleration. Do not drive continuously in the low gears. Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods. Drum−in disc type parking brake system Your vehicle has a drum−in−disc type parking brake system. This type of brake system needs bedding−down of the brake shoes periodically or when− ever the parking brake shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have your Toyota dealer perform the bedding down. Operating your vehicle in a foreign country Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability of the correct fuel. ( P. 364) 106 2−1. Driving procedures Normal characteristics after turning off the engine Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction. CAUTION When starting the vehicle When driving the vehicle Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel− erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal. Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident that could result in death or serious injury. Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials. The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. This may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby. Vehicles with an automatic transmission, do not let the vehicle roll back− wards while the shift lever is in a driving position, or roll forward while the shift lever is in R. Doing so may cause the engine to stall or lead to poor brake and steering performance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehicle. If the smell of exhaust is noticed inside the vehicle, open the windows and check that the back door and glass hatch are closed. Large amounts of exhaust in the vehicle can cause driver drowsiness and an accident, resulting in death or a serious health hazard. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately. Do not under any circumstances shift the shift lever to P, R or N (automatic transmission) or R (manual transmission) while the vehicle is moving. Doing so can cause significant damage to the transmission system and may result in a loss of vehicle control. 107 2 When driving Vehicles with an automatic transmission, always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping. 2−1. Driving procedures CAUTION When driving the vehicle Do not shift the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving. Doing so may cause the engine brake to not operate properly and lead to an accident. Do not turn the engine off while driving. The power steering and brake booster systems will not operate properly if the engine is not running. Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving down a steep hill. Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness. ( P. 11 8120) When stopped on an inclined surface, use the brake pedal and parking brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward or forward and causing an accident. Do not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or outside rear view mirrors while driving. Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents that may result in death or serious injury. Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their bod− ies are not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury. Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit per− mits it, do not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicle has high− speed capability tires. Driving over 85 mph (140 km/h) 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. 108 2−1. Driving procedures CAUTION When driving on slippery road surfaces Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and reduce your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident. Sudden changes in engine speed, such as engine braking caused by up− shifting or down−shifting, may cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident. When shifting the shift lever Vehicles with an automatic transmission, be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed. This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident and result in death or serious injury. When the vehicle is stopped Do not race the engine. If the vehicle is in any gear other than P (automatic transmission only) or N, the vehicle may accelerate suddenly and unexpectedly, and may cause an accident. Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time. If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and check that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior. Vehicles with an automatic transmission, always keep a foot on the brake pedal while the engine is running to prevent an accident caused by the vehicle moving. 109 2 When driving After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make sure that the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent the brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected, resulting in an accident. 2−1. Driving procedures CAUTION When the vehicle is parked Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in the vehicle when it is in the sun. Doing so may result in the following. S Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a fire. S The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and plastic material of eye glasses to deform or crack. S Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehi− cle’s electrical components. Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P (automatic trans− mission only), stop the engine and lock the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running. Do not touch the exhaust pipe while the engine is running or immediately after turning the engine off. Doing so may cause burns. Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build−up, or where it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard. Exhaust gases Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO) that is colorless and odorless. Inhaling exhaust gases may lead to death or a serious health haz− ard. If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area, stop the engine. In a closed area, such as a garage, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard. The exhaust should be checked occasionally. If there is a hole or crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your Toyota dealer. Failure to do so may allow exhaust gases to enter the vehicle, resulting in death or a serious health hazard. 110 2−1. Driving procedures CAUTION When taking a nap in the vehicle Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, you may accidentally move the shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, which could cause an accident or fire due to engine overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard. When braking the vehicle 2 If the power brake assist function does not operate, do not follow other vehicles closely and avoid downhills or sharp turns that require braking. In this case, braking is still possible, but it will require more force on the pedal than usual. Braking distance may also increase. Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls. Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power−assisted brakes. The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems: If one of the systems fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and braking distance becomes longer. Do not drive your vehicle with only a single brake system. Have your brakes fixed immediately. 111 When driving When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously. Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and may cause one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also the parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle. 2−1. Driving procedures NOTICE When driving the vehicle Vehicles with a manual transmission Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. Doing so may cause clutch trouble. Do not use any gears other than the first gear when starting off and mov− ing forward. Doing so may damage the clutch. Do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopping on an uphill grade. Doing so may damage the clutch. Vehicles with an automatic transmission Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress accelerator and brake pedals together to hold the vehicle on a hill. When parking the vehicle Vehicles with an automatic transmission: Always put the shift lever in P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle may acceler− ate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed. Avoiding damage to vehicle parts Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for a long time. Doing so may damage the power steering pump. When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc. If you hear a squealing or scraping noise while driving (brake pad wear limit indicators) Have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. The rotor damage can result if the pads are not replaced when needed. It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads and/or that of the brake discs are exceeded. 112 2−1. Driving procedures NOTICE If you get a flat tire while driving A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually press the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle. It may be difficult to control your vehicle. The vehicle will make abnormal sounds.

TRAC may not operate effectively when Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip− pery road surfaces, even if TRAC is operating. Do not drive the vehicle in conditions where stability and power may be lost. Replacing tires Make sure that all tires are of the same size, brand, tread pattern and total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the appro− priate tire pressure level. The ABS and VSC will not function correctly if different tires are fitted on the vehicle. Contact your Toyota dealer for further information when replacing tires or wheels. Handling of tires and suspension Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect the driving assist systems, and may cause the system to malfunction. 159 2 When driving The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you in the following situ− ations. 2−5. Driving information Off−road precautions This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class, which has higher ground clearance and narrower tread in relation to the height of its center of gravity to make it capable of performing in a wide variety of off−road applications. Off−road vehicle feature Specific design characteristics give it a higher center of gravity than ordinary passenger cars. This vehicle design feature causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to rollover. And, utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehi− cles. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you to anticipate problems. It is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordinary passenger cars any more than lo w−slung sports cars designed to perform satisfactorily under off−road conditions. Therefore, sharp turns at excessive speeds may cause rollover. 160 2−5. Driving information CAUTION Off−road vehicle precautions Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of serious per− sonal injury or damage to your vehicle: In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers should fasten their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving. 2 Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the vehi− cle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly. Always slow down in gusty crosswi nds. Because of its profile and higher center of gravity, your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordi− nary passenger car. Slowing down will allow you to have better control. When driving off−road or in rugged terrain, do not drive at excessive speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike objects, etc. This may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. You are also risking expensive damage to your vehicle’s suspension and chassis. Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes. Driving straight up or straight down is preferred. Your vehicle (or any similar off−road vehicle) can tip over sideways much more easily than forward or backward. 161 When driving Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all possible. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. 2−5. Driving information Off−road driving When driving your vehicle off−road, please observe the following pre− cautions to ensure your driving enjoyment and to help prevent the closure of areas to off−road vehicles. Drive your vehicle only in areas where off−road vehicles are permit− ted to travel. Respect private property. Get owner’s permission before entering private property. Do not enter areas that are closed. Honor gates, barriers and signs that restrict travel. Stay on established roads. When conditions are wet, driving tech− niques should be changed or trav el delayed to prevent damage to roads. Additional information for off−road driving For owners in U.S. mainland, Hawaii and Puerto Rico: To obtain additional information pertaining to driving your vehicle off−road, consult the following organizations. State and Local Parks and Recreation Departments State Motor Vehicle Bureau Recreational Vehicle Clubs U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management 162 2−5. Driving information CAUTION Off−road driving precautions Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of serious per− sonal injury or damage to your vehicle: Drive carefully when off the road. Do not take unnecessary risks by driving in dangerous places. Do not grip the steering wheel spokes when driving off−road. A bad bump could jerk the wheel and injure your hands. Keep both hands and espe− cially your thumbs on the outside of the rim. After driving through tall grass, mud, rock, sand, rivers, etc., check that there is no grass, bush, paper, rags, stone, sand, etc. adhering or trapped on the underbody. Clear off any such matter from the underbody. If the vehicle is used with these materials trapped or adhering to the underbody, a breakdown or fire could occur. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers should fasten their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving. When driving off−road or in rugged terrain, do not drive at excessive speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike objects, etc. This may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. You are also risking expensive damage to your vehicle’s suspension and chassis. 163 When driving Always check your brakes for effectiveness immediately after driving in sand, mud, water or snow. 2 2−5. Driving information NOTICE To prevent the water damage Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the engine or other components does not occur. Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage. Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deterioration in shift quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ulti− mately damage. Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and pre− mature failure, and may also enter the differentials, transmission and transfer case, reducing the gear oil’s lubricating qualities. When you drive through water If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check the depth of the water and the bottom of the river bed for firmness. Drive slowly and avoid deep water. Inspection after off−road driving Sand and mud that has accumulated in brake drums and around brake discs may affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system compo− nents. Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off−road driv− ing that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or water. For scheduled maintenance information, refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner ’s Manual Supplement”. 164 2−5. Driving information Cargo and luggage Take notice of the following information about storage precau− tions, cargo capacity and load. Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever possible. Be sure all items are secured in place. Be careful to keep the vehicle level. Placing the weight as far for− ward as possible helps maintain vehicle balance. 2 For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight. When driving Capacity and distribution Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants. (Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) (Total weight of occupants) Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit— (1) Locate the statement “The co mbined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard. (2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. (3)Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs. (4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and lug− gage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 750 (5 150) = 650 lbs.) (5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 165 2−5. Driving information (6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle. Example on your vehicle Cargo capacity Total load capacity When 2 people with the combined weight of 366 lb. (166 kg) are riding in your vehicle, which has a total load capacity of 1190 lb. (540 kg), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be as follows: 1190 lb. 366 lb. = 824 lb. (540 kg 166 kg = 374 kg) In this condition, if 3 more pa ssengers with the combined weight of 388 lb. (176 kg) get on , the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced as follows: 824 lb. 388 lb. = 436 lb. (374 kg 176 kg = 198 kg) As shown in the above example, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo and luggage load equaling the combined weight of the occupants who got on later, by an amount. In other words, if an increase in the number of occupants causes an excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load), you must reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle. 166 2−5. Driving information CAUTION Things that must not be carried in the luggage compartment The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compart− ment. Receptacles containing gasoline Aerosol cans Storage precautions 2 Do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the Do not drive with objects on top of the instrument panel. They may interfere with the driver ’s field of view or move during sharp acceleration or turning, thus impairing the driver ’s control of the vehi− cle. In an accident they may injure the vehicle occupants. Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and injure someone during an accident or sudden braking. Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts properly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer death or serious bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking or a colli− sion. Capacity and distribution Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle weight rating. Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less than the total load capacity, do no t apply the load unevenly. Improper loading may cause deterioration of st eering or braking control which may cause death or serious injury. 167 When driving seatbacks. Such items may be thrown about and possibly injure people in the vehicle during sudden braking or in an accident. 2−5. Driving information Vehicle load limits Vehicle load limits include total load capacity, seating capacity, towing capacity and cargo capacity. Total load capacity: 1190 lb. (540 kg) Total load capacity means the combined weight of occupants, cargo and luggage. Seating capacity: 5 occupants (Front 2, Rear 3) Seating capacity means the ma ximum number of occupants whose estimated average weight is 150 lb. (68 kg) per person. Even if the number of occupants are within the seating capacity, do not exceed the total load capacity. Towing capacity: 5000 lb. (2265 kg) Towing capacity means the maximum gross trailer weight (trailer weight plus its cargo weight) that your vehicle is able to tow. Cargo capacity Cargo capacity may increase or decrease depending on the weight and the number of occupants. Total load capacity and seating capacity These details are also described on the tire and loading information label.( P. 292) CAUTION Overloading the vehicle Do not overload the vehicle. It may not only cause damage to the tires, but also degrade steering and braking ability, resulting in an accident. 168 2−5. Driving information Winter driving tips Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropri− ate to the prevailing weather conditions. Pre−winter preparations Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tem− peratures. Engine oil Engine coolant Washer fluid 2 Have a service technician inspect the level and specific grav− ity of battery electrolyte. Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire chains for the rear tires. Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match the size of the tires. Before driving the vehicle Perform the following according to the driving conditions. Do not try to forcibly open a window, scrape an outside rear view mirror surface or move a wiper or outside rear view mir− ror that is frozen. Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away the water immediately to prevent it from freezing. To ensure proper operation of th e climate control system fan, remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the windshield. Remove any ice that has accumulated on the vehicle chassis. Periodically check for and remo ve any excess ice or snow that may have accumulated in the wheel well or on the brakes. 169 When driving S S S 2−5.

Shank length Protrudes beyond the bottom of the lock washer and nut at least 2 threads. Shank diameter Matches the ball mount hole diameter size. Connecting trailer lights Use the wire harness stored in the rear end underbody. 174 2−5. Driving information Before towing Check that the following conditions are met: Ensure that your vehicle’s tires are properly inflated. ( P. 370) Trailer tires should be inflated according to the trailer manufacturer ’s rec− ommendation. All trailer lights work to be legal. Confirm all lights work each time you connect them. 2 The trailer ball is set up at the proper height for the coupler on the trailer. Make sure the trailer cargo is securely loaded. Check that your rear view mirrors conform to any federal, state/provincial or local regulations. If they do not, install rear view mirrors appropriate for towing purposes. Break−in schedule Toyota recommends that you do not use a new vehicle or a vehicle with any new power train components (engine, transmission, differential, wheel bearings, etc.) to tow a trailer for the first 500 miles (800 km) of driving. Maintenance If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load. (See “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner ’s Manual Supplement”.) Retighten the fixing bolts of the towing ball and bracket after approxi− mately 600 miles (1000 km). 175 When driving Check that your vehicle remains level when a loaded or unloaded trailer is hitched. Do not drive if the vehicle is not level, and check for improper tongue load, overloading, worn suspension, or other possible causes. 2−5. Driving information CAUTION To avoid accident or injury The total trailer weight (trailer weight plus the weight of cargo) must not exceed 5000 lb. (2265 kg) If a trailer and cargo weight over 2000 lb. (907 kg), use a sway control device with sufficient capacity. The gross combined weight (sum of your vehicle weight plus its load and the total trailer weight) must not exceed the following. 2WD models 9200 lb. (4173 kg) 4WD models 9500 lb. (4309 kg) Do not exceed the trailer hitch assembly weight, gross vehicle weight, gross axle weight and trailer tongue load capacities. Never load more weight in the back than in the front of the trailer. About 60% of the load should be in the front half of the trailer, and the remaining 40% in the rear. The tow hitch receiver installed on your vehicle must never be used on another vehicle. Hitches If you wish to install a trailer hitch, your Toyota dealer should be consulted. Use only a hitch that conforms to the total trailer weight requirement. Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer. Lubricate the hitch ball with a light coat of grease. Remove the trailer hitch whenever y ou are not towing a trailer to reduce the possibility of additional damage caused by the hitch if your vehicle is struck from behind. 176 2−5. Driving information CAUTION When towing a trailer If the total trailer weight exceeds 1000 lb. (453 kg), trailer brakes are required. Never tap into your vehicle’s hydraulic system, as this will lower the vehi− cle’s braking effectiveness. Never tow a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch ball, there is danger of the trailer wandering into another lane. 2 When driving NOTICE When installing a trailer hitch Use only the position recommended by your Toyota dealer. Do not install the trailer hitch on the bumper; this may cause body damage. Brakes Toyota recommends trailers with brakes that conform to any applicable fed− eral and state/provincial regulations. Safety chain A safety chain must always be used between the towing vehicle and the trailer. Leave sufficient slack in the chain for turns. The chain should cross under the trailer tongue to prevent the tongue from dropping to the ground in the case that it becomes damaged or separated. For the correct safety chain installation procedure, ask your Toyota dealer. Do not directly splice trailer lights Directly splicing trailer lights may damage your vehicle’s electrical system and cause a malfunction. 177 2−5. Driving information Trailer towing tips Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer. The three main causes of vehicle−trailer ac cidents are driver error, excessive speed and improper trailer loading. Keep these in mind when towing. Before starting out, check the trailer’s light and the vehicle−trailer connections. Recheck after driving a short distance. Practice turning, stopping and reve rsing with the trailer attached in an area away from traffic until you become accustomed to the feel of the vehicle. Reversing with a trailer attached is difficult and requires practice. Grip the bottom of the steering wheel and move your hand to the left to move the trailer to the left. Move your hand to the right to move the trailer to the right. (This generally opposite to reversing without a trailer attached.) Avoid sharp or prolonged turning. Have someone guide you when reversing to reduce the risk of an acci− dent. As stopping distance is increased when towing a trailer, vehicle−to− vehicle distance should be increased. For each 10 mph (16 km/h) of speed, allow at least one vehicle and trailer length. Avoid sudden braking as you may skid, resulting in jackknifing and loss of control. This is especially true on wet or slippery surfaces. Avoid jerky starts or sudden acceleration. Vehicles with a manual transmission, prevent excessive clutch slippage by keeping engine rpm low and not racing the engine. Always start out in first gear. Avoid jerky steering and sharp turns, and slow down before mak− ing a turn. 178 2−5. Driving information Note that when making a turn, the trailer wheels will be closer than the vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. Compensate by making a larger than normal turning radius. Take care when passing other vehicles. Passing requires consider− able distance. After passing a vehicle, do not forget the length of your trailer, and be sure you hav e plenty of room before changing lanes. In order to maintain engine braking efficiency, do not use the trans− mission in D (automatic transmission) or 6 (manual transmission). Due to the added load of the trailer, your vehicle’s engine may overheat on hot days (at temper atures over 85°F [30°C]) when driving up a long or steep grade. If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating, immediately turn off the air condition− ing (if in use), pull your vehicle off the road and stop in a safe spot. ( P. 356) 179 When driving Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely affect handling of your vehicle and trailer, causing sway . Periodically check the rear to prepare for being passed by large trucks or buses, which may cause your vehicle and trailer to sway. If swaying occurs, firmly grip the steering wheel, reduce speed immediately but gradually, and 2 steer straight ahead. Never increase speed. If you make no extreme correction with the stee ring or brakes, your vehicle and trailer will stabilize. 2−5. Driving information Always place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and the trailer wheels when parking. Apply the parking brake firmly, and put the transmission in P (automatic transmission) or in 1 or R (manual transmission). Avoid parking on a slope, but if unavoidable, do so only after performing the following: Apply the brakes and keep them applied. Have someone place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels. When the wheel blocks are in place, release the brakes slowly until the blocks absorb the load. Apply the parking brake firmly. Shift into 1 or R (manual transmission) or P (automatic trans− mission) and turn off the engine. When restarting after parking on a slope: With the transmission in P (automatic transmission) or the clutch pedal (manual transmission) depressed, start the engine. On vehicles with an au tomatic transmission, be sure to keep the brake pedal pressed. Shift into a forward gear. If reversing, shift into R. Release the parking brake (also brake pedal on vehicles with an automatic transmission), and slowly pull or back away from the wheel blocks. Stop and apply the brakes. Have someone retrieve the blocks. 180 2−5. Driving information CAUTION To avoid an accident Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) or posted towing speed limit, whichever is lower. As instability (swaying) of the towing vehicle−trailer combination increases as speed increases, exceeding 45 mph (72 km/h) may cause loss of control. Slow down and downshift before descending steep or long downhill grades. Do not make sudden downshifts. 2 181 When driving Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat and result in reduced braking efficiency. 2−5. Driving information Dinghy towing Your vehicle is not designed to be dinghy towed (with 4 wheels on the ground) behind a motor home.

S Disc formats: CD−ROM Mode 1 and Mode 2 CD−ROM XA Mode 2, Form 1 and Form 2 S File formats: ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2, (Romeo, Joliet) MP3 and WMA files written in any format other than those listed above may not play correctly, and their file names and folder names may not be displayed correctly. Items related to standards and limitations are as follows. S S S S 214 Maximum directory hierarchy: 8 levels Maximum length of folder names/file names: 32 characters Maximum number of folders: 192 (including the root) Maximum number of files per disc: 255 3−2. Using the audio system File names The only files that can be recogniz ed as MP3/WMA and played are those with the extension .mp3 or .wma. Multi−sessions As the audio system is compatible with multi−sessions, it is possible to play discs that contain MP3 and WMA files. However, only the first session can be played. ID3 and WMA tags ID3 tags can be added to MP3 files, making it possible to record the track title and artist name, etc. The system is compatible with ID3 Ver. 1.0, 1.1, and Ver. 2.2, 2.3 ID3 tags. (The number of characters is based on ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.) WMA tags can be added to WMA files, making it possible to record the track title and artist name in the same way as with ID3 tags. When a disc containing MP3 or WMA files is inserted, all files on the disc are first checked. Once the file check is finished, the first MP3 or WMA file is played. To make the file check finish more quickly, we recommend you do not write in any files other than MP3 or WMA files or create any unnec− essary folders. If the discs contain a mixture of music data and MP3 or WMA format data, only music data can be played. Extensions If the file extensions .mp3 and .wma are used for files other than MP3 and WMA files, they will be mistakenly recognized and played as MP3 and WMA files. This may result in large amounts of interference and damage to the speakers. Playback S To play MP3 file with steady sound quality, we recommend a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. S CD−R or CD−RW playback may not be possible in some instances, depending on the characteristics of the disc. 215 Interior features MP3 and WMA playback 3 3−2. Using the audio system S There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3 and WMA files on the market, and depending on the status of the encoding and the file format, poor sound quality or noise at the start of playback may result. In some cases, playback may not be possible at all. S When files other than MP3 or WMA files are recorded on a disc, it may take more time to recognize the disc and in some cases, playback may not be possible at all.

Make sure to check the oil type and prepare the items needed before adding oil. Oil grade Items ILSAC multigrade engine oil Clean funnel Remove the oil filler cap, turning it counterclockwise. Add engine oil slowly. Checking the dipstick. Reinstall the filler cap, turning it clockwise. The approximate quantity of oil needed to raise the level between low and full on the dipstick is indicated as follows: 1.6 qt. (1.5 L, 1.3 lmp. qt.) Recommended viscosity SAE 5W−30 is the best choice for good fuel economy, and good starting in cold weather. Outside temperature 276 *: If SAE 5W−30 oil is not avail− able, SAE 10W−30 oil may be used. However, it should be replaced with SAE 5W−30 at the next oil change. 4−3. Do−it−yourself maintenance How to read oil container labels Some oil containers are labeled with ILSAC certification marks that help you to select the proper oil. Engine oil consumption The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the quality of the oil and the way the vehicle is driven. More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and frequent acceleration and deceleration. When judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil may have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accu− rately. Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp.qt./600 miles (1.0 L per 1000 km) If you consume more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 lmp.qt.) every 600 miles (1000 km), contact your Toyota dealer. 277 Maintenance and care A new engine consumes more oil. 4 4−3.

Checking tires New tread 1 2 3 Treadwear indicator Worn tread The location of treadwear indicators is shown by the “TWI” or “ ” marks, etc., molded on the sidewall of each tire. Check spare tire condition and inflation pressure if not rotated. Tire rotation 4 Front To equalize tire wear and extend tire life, Toyota recom− mends that tire rotation is carried out at the same inter− val as tire inspection. The tire pressure warning system Your Toyota is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses tire pressure warning valves and transmitters to detect low tire inflation pressure before serious problems arise. ( P. 334) 287 Maintenance and care Rotate the tires in the order shown. 4−3. Do−it−yourself maintenance Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must also be installed. When new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are installed, sensor ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning com− puter. Registering ID codes The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is equipped with a unique ID code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, it is necessary to regi ster the ID code of tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. Have the ID code registered by your Toyota dealer. If the ID code is not registered , the system will not work properly. After about 20 minutes, the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking for 1 minute to indicate a system malfunction. When to replace your vehicle’s tires Tires should be replaced if: You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose the fabric or bulges indicating internal damage A tire goes flat repeatedly or c annot be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer. Tire life Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if they have seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious. If the tread wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm) on snow tires The effectiveness of snow tires is lost. 288 4−3. Do−it−yourself maintenance Routine tire inflation pressure checks The tire pressure warning system doe s not replace routine tire inflation pressure checks. Make su re to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine of daily vehicle checks. Maximum load of tire Check that the maximum load of the re placed tire is greater than 1/2 of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle or the rear axle, whichever is greater. As for the maximum load of the tire, see the load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure mentioned on the sidewall of the tire, and as for the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR), see the Certification Label. ( P. 292, 363, 375). Tire types 1 Summer tires 2 All season tires All season tires are designed to prov ide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use year round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance compared with summer tires in highway driving. 3Snow tires For driving on snow−covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using snow tires. If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, con− struction and load capacity as the or iginally installed tires. Since your vehicle has radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snow tires also have radial construction. Do not install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restriction. Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. ( P. 169) 289 4 Maintenance and care Summer tires are high−speed performance tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tire s, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow−covered or icy roads. For driving on snow−covered roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. When installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires. 4−3.

Do−it−yourself maintenance CAUTION Tire pressure warning system operation The tire pressure warning system may not provide warning immediately if a tire bursts or if sudden air leakage occurs. When inspecting or replacing tires Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents. Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train, as well as dangerous han− dling characteristics, which may lead to fatal or injury accidents. Do not mix tires of different makes, models, tread patterns or tread− wear. Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota. Do not mix radial, bias−belted, or bias−ply tires. Do not mix summer, all season and winter tires. Do not use tires that have been used on another vehicle. Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously. 4 Repairing or replacing tires, wheels and tire pressure warning valves and transmitters When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly. Do not use puncture sealant sprays to repair flats Puncture sealant sprays may damage tire pressure warning valves and transmitters. Driving on rough roads Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or pot− holes. These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the cushioning ability of the tires. In addition driving on rough roads may cause damage to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicle’s wheels and body. If tire inflation pressures become low while driving Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined. 291 Maintenance and care NOTICE 4−3. Do−it−yourself maintenance Tire inflation pressure Tire inflation pressure The recommended cold tire inflation pressure and tire size is dis− played on the tire and loading information label. ( P. 370) 292 4−3. Do−it−yourself maintenance Inspection and adjustment procedure Tire valve 1 2 Tire pressure gauge STY43AC020 Remove the tire valve cap. Press the tip of the tire pressure gauge onto the tire valve. Read the pressure using the graduations of the gauge. If the tire inflation pressure is not within the recommended levels, adjust inflate the tire. If you add too much air, pres s the center of the valve to lower. 4 Maintenance and care After completing the tire inflation pressure measurement and adjustment, apply soapy water to the valve and check for leakage. Reinstall the tire valve cap. Tire inflation pressure check interval You should check tire pressure every two weeks, or at least once a month. Do not forget to check the spare. Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following: Reduced fuel efficiency Reduced driving comfort and tire life Reduced safety Damage to the drive train If a tire needs frequent refilling, have it checked by your Toyota dealer. 293 4−3. Do−it−yourself maintenance Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following: Check only when the tires are cold. If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours and has not been driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading. Always use a tire pressure gauge. The appearance of the tire can be mi sleading. In addition, tire infla− tion pressures that are even just a few pounds off can degrade ride and handling. Do not bleed or reduce tire inflation pressure after driving. It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving. Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight. Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is balanced. CAUTION Proper inflation is critical to save tire performance Keep your tires properly inflated. Otherwise, the following conditions may occur and result in an accident causing death or serious injury. Excessive wear Uneven wear Poor handling Possibility of blowouts resulting from overheated tires Poor sealing of the tire bead Wheel deformation and/or tire separation A greater possibility of tire damage from road hazards 294 4−3. Do−it−yourself maintenance NOTICE When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure Be sure to reinstall the tire valve caps. Without the valve caps, dirt or mo isture could get into the valve and cause air leakage, which could result in an accident. If the caps have been lost, replace them as soon as possible. 4 Maintenance and care 295 4−3. Do−it−yourself maintenance Wheels If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause loss of handling control. Wheel selection When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width, and offset. Replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer. Toyota does not recommend using: Wheels of different sizes or types Used wheels Bent wheels that have been straightened Aluminum wheel precautions (if equipped) Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrench designed for use with your aluminum wheels. When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km). Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire chains. Use only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and a plastic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels. When replacing wheels The wheels of your Toyota are equipped with sensors that allow the tire pressure warning system sensors to provide advanced warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter must be switched over from the old wheels. ( P. 288) 296 4−3. Do−it−yourself maintenance CAUTION When replacing wheels Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the Owner ’s Manual, as this may result in loss of handling control. Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or seri− ous injury. NOTICE Replacing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters Because tire repair or replacement may affect the tire pressure warn− ing valves and transmitters, make su re to have tires serviced by your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop. In addition, make sure to purchase your tire pressure warning valves and transmitters at your Toyota dealer. 4 Ensure that only Genuine Toyota wheels are used on your vehicle. 297 Maintenance and care Tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not work properly with non−genuine wheels. 4−3.

If the tire inflation pressure is more than 73 psi (500 kPa, 5.1 kgf/cm 2 or bar) or higher. 5 If the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking for 1 minute frequently After changing the engine oil (U.S.A. only) Make sure to reset the oil maintenance data. ( P. 278) Customization that can be configured at Toyota dealer The vehicle speed linked seat belt reminder buzzer can be disabled. (Customizable features P. 386) 337 When trouble arises If the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking for 1 minute fre− quently when the engine switch is turned to the ON position, have it checked by your Toyota dealer. 5−2. Steps to take in an emergency CAUTION Maintenance of the tire Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a differ− ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS−ti re pressure warning system) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltal e (tire pressure warning light) when one or more of your tires is significantly under−inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressu re telltale (tire pressure warning light) illumi− nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under− inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under−inflation also reduces fuel effi ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub− stitute for proper tire main tenance, and it is the driver ’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under−inflation has not reached the level to trigger illu mination of the TPMS low ti re pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light). Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indicator to indi cate when the system is not operat− ing properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indi− cator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light). When the system det ects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute an d then remain continuously illumi− nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start−ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indi cator is illumi− nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. 338 5−2. Steps to take in an emergency CAUTION TPMS (tire pressure warning system ) malfunction may occur for a vari− ety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pres− sure warning system) malfunction te lltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter− nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to continue to function properly. If the tire pressure warning light comes on Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury. Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire inflation pressure immediately. If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pres− sure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If the tire is flat, change to the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired by the nearest Toyota dealer. Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes. 5 If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately. Precaution when installing a different tire When a tire of a different specification or maker is installed, the tire pres− sure warning system may not operate properly. 339 When trouble arises NOTICE 5−2. Steps to take in an emergency If you have a flat tire Remove the flat tire and replace it with the spare provided. Before jacking up the vehicle Stop the vehicle on a hard, flat surface.

Specifications Fuel information Your vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline. Premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 (Research Octane Number 96) or higher required for optimum engine performance. At minimum, the gasoline you us e should meet th e specifications of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB3.5−M93 in Canada. Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Toyota has a fuel tank opening that only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps. If premium gasoline is not available If 91 rating gasoline cannot be obtained, you may use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating as low as 87 (Research Octane Number 91). If your engine knocks Consult your Toyota dealer. You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern. Gasoline quality In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gasoline you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer. Gasoline quality standards Automotive manufacturers in the US, Europe and Japan have developed a specification for fuel quality called World−Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) that is expected to be applied worldwide. The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emission levels. In the US, category 4 has been adopted. The WWFC improves air quality by lowering emissions in vehicle fleets, and customer satisfaction through better performance. 372 6−1. Specifications Toyota recommends the use of gasoline containing detergent additives Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to avoid build−up of engine deposits. All gasoline sold in the US contains detergent additives to clean and/or keep clean intake systems. Toyota recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline Cleaner burning gasoline, including reformulated gasoline that contains oxygenates such as ethanol or MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is available in many areas. Toyota recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriately blended reformulated gasoline. These types of gasoline provide excellent vehicle performance, reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality. Toyota does not recommend blended gasoline Toyota allows the use of oxygenate blended gasoline where the oxygenate content is up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE. If you use gasohol in your Toyota, be sure that it has an octane rating no lower than 91. Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol. Toyota does not recommend gasoline containing MMT Some gasoline contains octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl). Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel containing MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely affected. 6 The malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this happens, contact your Toyota dealer for service. Vehicle specifications 373 6−1. Specifications NOTICE Notice on gasoline quality Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three−way catalytic converters causing the emission control system to malfunction. Do not use gasohol other than that stated here. Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems. Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 91 may result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to engine damage and should be corrected by refueling with higher octane unleaded gasoline. Fuel−related poor driveability If after using a different type of fuel, poor driveability is encountered (poor hot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.), discontinue the use of that type of fuel. When refueling with gasohol Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle’s paint. 374 6−1.

Department of Transportation. It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Toyota vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading. Your Toyota dealer will help answ er any questions you may have as you read this information. DOT quality grades All passenger vehicle tires mu st conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A 378 6−1. Specifications Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested und er controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 − 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate. Traction AA, A, B, C The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they represent the tire’s ab ility to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled cond itions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction. Temperature A, B, C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. 379 Vehicle specifications Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. 6 6−1. Specifications Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
