Seat belts
Seat belt precautions
Toyota strongly urges that the driver and passengers in the vehicle be properly restrained at all times with the seat belts provided. Failure to do so could increase the chance of injury and/or the severity of injury in accidents.
Child. Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belts. See Child restraint" for details.
STANDARD CAB MODELS
If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt.
ACCESS CAB MODELS
If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
If a child must sit in the front seat, the seat belts should be worn properly. If an accident occurs and the seat belts are not worn properly, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag may cause death or serious injury to the child.
TUNDRA (34413U)
Do not allow the child to stand up or kneel on either rear or front seats. An unrestrained child could suffer serious injury or death during emergency braking or a collision. Also, do not let the child sit on your lap. It does not provide sufficient restraint.
Small−framed person or youth in a
3−point type seat belt. On models with a non−split bench seat, have a small− framed person or youth sit slightly closer to the center of the vehicle (so the shoulder belt does not cross over the neck).
On models with separate seats and split bench seat, move the seat fully backward .
Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Ask your doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be worn securely and as low as possible over the hips and not on the waist.
Injured person. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Depending on the injury, first check with your doctor for specific recommendations
CAUTION
Persons should ride in their seats properly wearing their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving.
Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer serious bodily injury or death in the event of sudden braking or a collision.
When using the seat belts, observe the following:
D
Use the belt for only one person at a time. Do not use a single belt for two or more peopleeven children.
D
Avoid reclining the seatbacks too much. The seat belts provide maximum protection when the seatbacks are in the upright position. (Refer to the seat adjustment instructions.)
D
Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. Take care that they do not get caught or pinched in the seat or side doors.
D
Inspect the belt system periodically.
Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Damaged parts should be replaced. Do not disassemble or modify the system.
D
Keep the belts clean and dry. If they need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Never use bleach, dye, or abrasive cleanersthey may severely weaken the belts. (See Cleaning the interior" in Part 5.)
D
Replace the belt assembly (including bolts) if it has been used in a severe impact. The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious.
27
TUNDRA (34413U)
Front outside seat belts and rear outside seat belts
Adjust the seat as needed (front seats only) and sit up straight and well back in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the tab into the buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts to your size and the seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It also may lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and you can move around freely.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly pull the belt and release it. You will then be able to smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor.
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is completely extended and is 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 securely. (For details, see Child restraint" in this chapter.) To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more.
CAUTION
D
After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the belt is not twisted.
D
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.
D
If the seat belt does not function normally, immediately contact your
Toyota dealer. Do not use the seat until the seat belt is fixed. It cannot protect an adult occupant or your child from injury.

Please contact your local Toyota dealer so that the dealer can order the proper required length for the extender. Bring the heaviest coat you expect to wear for proper measurement and selection of length.
Additional ordering information is available at your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
When using the seat belt extender, observe the following. Failure to follow these instructions could result in less effectiveness of the seat belt restraint system in case of vehicle accident, increasing the chance of personal injury.
D
Never use the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without it.
D
Remember that the extender provided for you may not be safe when used on a different vehicle, or for another person or at a different seating position than the one originally intended for.
To connect the extender to the seat belt, insert the tab into the seat belt buckle so that the PRESS" signs on the buckle−release buttons of the extender and the seat belt are both facing outward as shown.
You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle.
When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle−release button on the extender, not on the seat belt. This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and extender itself.
When not in use, remove the extender and store in the vehicle for future use.

Front seat belt pretensioners
CAUTION
D
After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the seat belt extender is not twisted.
D
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.
D
If the seat belt does not function normally, immediately contact your
Toyota dealer. Do not use the seat until the seat belt is fixed. It cannot protect an adult occupant or your child from injury.
The driver and front passenger’s seat belt pretensioners are designed to be activated in response to a severe frontal impact.
When the airbag sensor detects the shock of a severe frontal impact, the front seat belt is quickly drawn back in by the retractor so that the belt snugly restrains the front seat occupants.
The seat belt pretensioners are activated even with no passenger in the front seat.
This indicator comes on when the ignition key is turned to the ACC" or
ON" position. It goes off after about
6 seconds. This means the front seat belt pretensioners are operating properly.
This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors, seat belt pretensioner assemblies, warning light, interconnecting wiring and power sources. (For details, see Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers" in Chapter 1−5.)
33
TUNDRA (34413U)
The seat belt pretensioner system mainly consists of the following components and their locations are shown in the illustration.
1. Front airbag sensors
2. SRS warning light
3. Seat belt pretensioner assemblies
4. Airbag sensor assembly
The seat belt pretensioner is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and airbag sensor.
When a seat belt pretensioner is activated, an operating noise may be heard and a small amount of smoke−like gas may be released. This gas is harmless and does not indicate that a fire is occurring.
Once the seat belt pretensioner has been activated, the seat belt retractor remains locked.
CAUTION
Do not modify, remove, strike or open the front seat belt pretensioner assemblies, airbag sensor or surrounding area or wiring. Doing any of these may cause sudden operation of the front seat belt pretensioners or disable the system, which could result in death or serious personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injuries.

SRS driver and front passenger airbags
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are designed to provide further protection for the driver and front passenger when added to the primary protection provided by the seat belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact, the SRS airbags work together with the seat belts to help prevent or reduce injury by inflating, in order to decrease the likelihood of the driver’s or front passenger’s head or chest directly hitting the steering wheel or dashboard. When the passenger airbag manual on−off switch is in the ON" position, the passenger airbag is activated even with no passenger in the front seat.
Be sure to wear your seat belt.
35
TUNDRA (34413U)
CAUTION
A driver or front passenger too close to the steering wheel or dashboard during airbag deployment can be killed or seriously injured. Toyota strongly recommends that:
D
The driver sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel while still maintaining control of the vehicle.
D
The front passenger sit as far back as possible from the dashboard.
D
All vehicle occupants be properly restrained using the available seat belts.
Indicator light
The passenger airbag system is equipped with a manual on−off switch and indicator light. Turning the passenger airbag manual on−off switch clockwise to the ON" position makes the passenger airbag system operational.
Turning the passenger airbag manual on−off switch counterclockwise to the
OFF" position disables the passenger airbag system. The indicator light on the passenger airbag manual on−off switch will come on when the passenger airbag system has been disabled.
See Passenger airbag manual on−off switch" in this chapter for detail.
CAUTION
D
Make sure that the indicator light is off.
D
Do not turn off the passenger airbag manual on−off switch except when a member of a passenger risk group identified in TABLE 1 is occupying the right front passenger seating position.
D
When the passenger airbag manual on−off switch is turned off, the passenger airbag will not inflate in a collision and turning off the passenger airbag can reduce the occupant protection which your vehicle safety systems can provide to you in certain accidents and increase the likelihood of serious personal injuries.

For more detailed information concerning about the passenger risk group, please contact NHTSA at 1−800−424−9393 or Transport Canada at 1−800−333−0371.
This indicator comes on when the ignition key is turned to the ACC" or
ON" position. It goes off after about
6 seconds. This means the SRS airbags are operating properly.
This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors, inflators, warning light, interconnecting wiring and power sources. (For details, see Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers" in Chapter 1−5.)
37
TUNDRA (34413U)
The SRS airbag system is designed to activate in response to a severe frontal impact within the shaded area between the arrows in the illustration.
There may be the case that the SRS airbags will not activate with such an impact in which the occupant wearing the seat belt correctly would not get serious injury.
The SRS airbags will deploy if the severity of the impact is above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximate 25 km/h (15 mph) collision when impacting straight into a fixed barrier that does not move or deform.
If the severity of the impact is below the above threshold level, the SRS airbags may not deploy.
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 it is involved in an underride collision (e.g. a collision in which the nose of the vehicle underrides", or goes under, the bed of a truck, etc.).
It is possible with collision severity at the marginal level of airbag sensor detection and activation that only one of your vehicle’s two airbags will deploy.
For the safety of all occupants, be sure to always wear seat belts.
Collision from the rear
Collision from the side
Vehicle rollover
The SRS airbags are not designed to inflate if the vehicle is subjected to a side or rear impact, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low−speed frontal collision.
38
TUNDRA (34413U)
Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard material
Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
Landing hard or vehicle falling
The SRS airbags may deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.
The SRS airbag system mainly consists of the following components and their locations are shown in the illustration.
1. Front airbag sensors
2. SRS warning light
3. Airbag module for passenger
(airbag and inflator)
4. Passenger airbag manual on−off switch
5. Airbag sensor assembly
6. Airbag module for driver
(airbag and inflator)
The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and airbag sensor.
In a severe frontal impact, sensors detect deceleration and the system triggers the airbag inflators. Then a chemical reaction in the inflators momentarily fills the airbags with non−toxic gas to help restrain the forward motion of the occupants.
When the airbags inflate, they produce a fairly loud noise and release some smoke and residue along with non−toxic gas. This does not indicate a fire. This gas is normally harmless, however, for those who have delicate skin, it may cause minor skin irritation. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent minor skin irritation.
Deployment of the airbags happens in a fraction of a second, so the airbags must inflate with considerable force. While the system is designed to reduce serious injuries, it may also cause minor burns or abrasions and swellings.
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, dashboard) may be hot for several minutes, but the airbags themselves will not be hot. The airbags are designed to inflate only once.
39
TUNDRA (34413U)
A crash severe enough to inflate the airbags may break the windshield as the vehicle buckles. In vehicles with a passenger airbag the windshield may also be damaged by absorbing some of the force of the inflating airbag.
CAUTION
D
The SRS airbag system is designed only as a supplement to the primary protection of the driver side and front passenger side seat belt systems. The front seat occupants can be killed or seriously injured by an inflating airbag if they do not wear the available seat belts. During sudden braking just before a collision, an unrestrained driver or front passenger can move forward into direct contact with or close proximity to the airbag which may then deploy during the collision. To obtain maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts.
Wearing a seat belt during an accident reduces the chances of death or serious injuries or being thrown out of the vehicle. For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system, see Seat belts" in this chapter.
D
Improperly seated and/or restrained infants 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 system. As to access cab models, Toyota recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seat of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seat is the safest for infants and children.
For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see Child restraint" in this chapter.
40
TUNDRA (34413U)

CAUTION
D
Never put a rear−facing child restraint system on the right front seat with the passenger airbag manual on−off switch in the ON" position. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
D
A forward−facing child restraint system which belongs to a passenger risk group should never be put on the right front seat with the passenger airbag manual on−off switch in the ON" position, because the force of a deploying airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child in forward seating position.
For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see Child restraint" in this chapter.

D
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean over the dashboard when the vehicle is in use. The airbags inflate with considerable speed and force; you may be killed or seriously injured. Sit up straight and well back in the seat, and always use your seat belt.
D
Do not allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on the front passenger seat. The airbag inflates with considerable speed and force; the child may be killed or seriously injured.
D
Do not hold a child on your lap or in your arms. Use a child restraint system in the rear seat. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see Child restraint" in this chapter.
D
Do not put objects or your pets on or in front of the dashboard or steering wheel pad that houses the airbag system. They might restrict inflation or cause death or serious injury as they are projected rearward by the force of deploying airbags. Likewise, the driver and front passenger should not hold things in their arms or on their knees.

Child restraint
Child restraint precautions
Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems for children small enough to use them.
The laws of all fifty states in the U.S.A.
and Canada now require the use of a child restraint system.
Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819.
If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt. See Seat belts" for details.
CAUTION
D
For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, children 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.
D
STANDARD CAB MODELS
Toyota strongly urges use of a proper child restraint system which conforms to the size of the child.
ACCESS CAB MODELS
Toyota strongly urges use of a proper child restraint system which conforms to the size of the child and is put on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
D
Never put infant or child age 1 to
12 in a passenger risk group on the right front seat with the passenger airbag manual on−off switch in the
ON" position. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
If you must put infant or child age
1 to 12 in a passenger risk group on the right front seat, make sure the passenger airbag manual on−off switch is in the OFF" position and that the indicator light is on. (For details, see SRS driver and front passenger airbags" in this chapter.)

TUNDRA (34413U)
The gauge works when the ignition switch is on and indicates the approximate quantity of fuel remaining in the tank.
Nearly fullNeedle at F"
Nearly emptyNeedle at E"
It is a good idea to keep the tank over
1/4 full.
This fuel gauge has a non−return type needle which remains at the last indicated position when the ignition switch is turned off.
If the fuel level approaches E" or the low fuel level warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the tank, the fuel gauge needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level warning light may come on earlier than usual.
If the fuel tank is completely empty, the malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill the fuel tank immediately.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving several times. If the indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
85
TUNDRA (34413U)
Engine coolant temperature gauge
With tachometer
The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is on. The engine operating temperature will vary with changes in weather and engine load.
If the needle moves into the red zone, your engine is too hot. If your vehicle overheats, stop your vehicle and allow the engine to cool.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe operating conditions, such as:
D
Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
D
Reducing speed or stopping after high speed driving.
D
Idling for a long period with the air conditioning on in stop−and−go traffic.
D
Towing a trailer.
NOTICE z
Do not remove the thermostat in the engine cooling system as this may cause the engine to overheat.
The thermostat is designed to control the flow of coolant to keep the temperature of the engine within the specified operating range.
z
Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. See If your vehicle overheats" in Part 4.
Without tachometer
86
TUNDRA (34413U)
Oil pressure gauge
Normal driving
Idling
The oil pressure gauge indicates engine oil pressure when the ignition switch is on. Check it while driving to make sure that the needle is in the proper range.
If the oil pressure should stay below the normal range, pull off the road to a safe place and stop the engine immediately.
Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance.
Oil pressure may not build up when the oil level is too low. The oil pressure gauge is not designed to indicate oil level, and the oil level must be checked using the level dipstick.
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with the oil pressure below the normal range until the cause is fixedit may ruin the engine.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter tells whether the battery is charged or discharged. Check it while the engine is runningthe needle should always indicate as shown above.
If the needle reads below or above the normal range while the engine is running, it indicates the charging system needs immediate repair.
However, it is normal for the needle to drop below the normal range during engine starting.
87
TUNDRA (34413U)
Tachometer Odometer and two trip meters
The tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of rpm (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to select correct shift points and to prevent engine lugging and overrevving.
Driving with the engine running too fast causes excessive engine wear and poor fuel economy. Remember, in most cases the slower the engine speed, the greater the fuel economy.
NOTICE
Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone. This may cause severe engine damage.
This meter displays the odometer and two trip meters.
1. OdometerIt shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
2. Two trip metersThey show two different distances independently driven since the last time each trip meter was set to zero.
You can use one trip meter to calculate the fuel economy and the other to measure the distance on each trip. All trip meter data is cancelled if the electrical power source is disconnected.
3. Trip meter reset knobIt can reset the two trip meters to zero, and also change the meter display.
To change the meter display, quickly push and release the knob. The meter display changes in the order from the odometer to trip meter A to trip meter
B, then back to the odometer each time you push.
To reset the trip meter A to zero, display the meter A reading, then push and hold the knob until the meter is set to zero. The same process can be applied for resetting the trip meter B.

TUNDRA (34413U)
Your automatic transmission has a shift lock system to minimize the possibility of incorrect operation. This means you can only shift out of P" position when the brake pedal is depressed (with the ignition switch in ON" or ACC" position and the selector lever pulled toward you).
(a) Normal driving
1. Start the engine as instructed in How to start the engine" in Part 3. The transmission must be in P" or N".
2. With your foot holding down the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to D".
When the lever is in D" position, the automatic transmission system will select the most suitable gear for running conditions such as normal cruising, hill climbing, hard towing, etc.
Always turn the overdrive switch on for better fuel economy and quieter driving. If the engine coolant temperature is low, the transmission will not shift into the overdrive gear even with the overdrive switch on.
CAUTION
Never put your foot on the accelerator pedal while shifting.
3. Release the parking brake and brake pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal slowly for smooth starting.
(b) Using engine braking
To use engine braking, you can downshift the transmission as follows:
D
Turn off the overdrive switch. The O/D
OFF" indicator light will come on and the transmission will downshift to the third gear.
D
Shift into the 2" position. The transmission will downshift to the second gear when the vehicle speed drops down to or lower than the following speed, and more powerful engine braking will be obtained.

CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting on a slippery surface. Abrupt shifting could cause the vehicle to spin or skid.
(c) Using 2" and L" positions
The 2" and L" positions are used for strong engine braking as described previously.
With the selector lever in 2" or L", you can start the vehicle in motion as with the lever in D".
With the selector lever in 2", the vehicle will start in the first gear and automatically shift to the second gear.
With the selector lever in L", the transmission is engaged in the first gear.

2. With the brake pedal pressed down, fully depress the parking brake pedal to apply the parking brake securely.
3. With the brake pedal pressed down, shift the selector lever to the P" position.
CAUTION
While the vehicle is moving, never attempt to move the selector lever into P" position under any circumstances. Serious mechanical damage and loss of vehicle control may result.
(f) Good driving practice
D
If the transmission repeatedly shifts up and down between third gear and overdrive when climbing a gentle slope, the overdrive switch should be turned off.
Be sure to turn the switch on immediately afterward.
D
When towing a trailer, in order to maintain engine braking efficiency, do not use overdrive.
CAUTION
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
NOTICE
Do not hold the vehicle on an upgrade with the accelerator pedal. It can cause the transmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.
(g) Rocking your vehicle if stuck
CAUTION
If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward and backward. Do not attempt this procedure if people or objects are anywhere near the vehicle. During the rocking operation the vehicle may suddenly move forward or backward as it becomes unstuck, causing injury or damage to nearby people or objects.
NOTICE
If you rock your vehicle, observe the following precautions to prevent damage to the transmission and other parts.
z
Do not depress the accelerator pedal while shifting the selector lever or before the transmission is completely shifted to forward or reverse gear.
99
TUNDRA (34413U) z
Do not race the engine and avoid spinning the wheels.
z
If your vehicle remains stuck after rocking the vehicle several times, consider other ways such as towing.
Manual transmission
The shift pattern is as shown above.
Press the clutch pedal down fully while shifting, and then release it slowly. Do not rest your foot on the pedal while driving, because it will cause clutch trouble. And do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopped on an uphill gradeuse the parking brake.
Recommended shifting speeds
The transmission is fully synchronized and upshifting or downshifting is easy.
For the best compromise between fuel economy and vehicle performance, you should upshift or downshift at the following speeds: gear
1 to 2 or 2 to 1
2 to 3 or 3 to 2
3 to 4 or 4 to 3
4 to 5 or 5 to 4 km/h (mph)
24(15)
40(25)
64(40)
72(45)
Downshift to the appropriate gear if acceleration is needed when you are cruising below the above downshifting speeds.
Upshifting too soon or downshifting too late will cause lugging, and possibly pinging. Regularly revving the engine to maximum speed in each gear will cause excessive engine wear and high fuel consumption.

To remind you that the parking brake is set, the parking brake reminder light in the instrument panel remains on until you release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure the parking brake is fully released and the parking brake reminder light is off.
Cruise control
The cruise control allows you to cruise the vehicle at a desired speed over 40 km/h (25 mph) even with your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Your cruising speed can be maintained up or down grades within the limits of engine performance, although a slight speed change may occur when driving up or down the grades. On steeper hills, a greater speed change will occur so it is better to drive without the cruise control.
CAUTION
D
To help maintain maximum control of your vehicle, do not use the cruise control when driving in heavy or varying traffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy or snow−covered) or winding roads.
D
Avoid vehicle speed increases when driving downhill. If the vehicle speed is too fast in relation to the cruise control set speed, cancel the cruise control then downshift the transmission to use engine braking to slow down.
TURNING ON THE SYSTEM
To operate the cruise control, press the
CRUISE ON−OFF" button. This turns the system on. The indicator light in the instrument panel shows that you can now set the vehicle at a desired cruising speed. Another press will turn the system completely off.
CAUTION
To avoid accidental cruise control engagement, keep the CRUISE ON−
OFF" switch off when not using the cruise control.
107
TUNDRA (34413U)
SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED
On vehicles with automatic transmission, the transmission must be in D" before you set the cruise control speed.
Bring your vehicle to the desired speed, push the lever down in the SET/COAST" direction and release it. This sets the vehicle at that speed. If the speed is not satisfactory, tap the lever up for a faster speed, or tap it down for a slower speed.
Each tap changes the set speed by 1.6
km/h (1.0 mph). You can now take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
If you need accelerationfor example, when passingdepress the accelerator pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you release it, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior to the acceleration.
CAUTION
For manual transmission:
While driving with the cruise control on, do not shift to neutral without depressing the clutch pedal, as this may cause engine racing or overrevving.
CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED
You can cancel the preset speed by: a. Pulling the lever in the CANCEL" direction and releasing it b. Depressing the brake pedal c. Depressing the clutch pedal (manual transmission)
If the vehicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will automatically cancel out.
If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10 mph) below the preset speed, the preset speed will also automatically cancel out.
If the preset speed automatically cancels out other than for the above cases, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer at the earliest opportunity.
RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED
Push the lever up in the RES/ACC" direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain speed.
However, a faster way to reset is to accelerate the vehicle and then push the lever down in the SET/COAST" direction.
RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED
Push the lever down in the SET/COAST" direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held down, the vehicle speed will gradually decrease.
However, a faster way to reset is to depress the brake pedal and then push the lever down in the SET/COAST" direction.
108
TUNDRA (34413U)
Clutch start cancel switch
On vehicles with automatic transmission, even if you turn off the overdrive switch with the cruise control on, engine braking will not be applied because the cruise control is not cancelled. To decrease the vehicle speed, reset to a slower speed with the cruise control lever or depress the brake pedal. If you use the brake pedal, cruise control is cancelled.
RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED
If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling the control lever or by depressing the brake pedal or clutch pedal, pushing the lever up in the RES/ACC" direction will restore the speed set prior to cancellation.
However, once the vehicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will not be resumed.
CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING
If the CRUISE" indicator light in the instrument cluster flashes when using the cruise control, press the CRUISE ON−
OFF" button to turn the system off and then press it again to turn it on.
If any of the following conditions then occurs, there is some trouble in the cruise control system.
D
The indicator light does not come on.
D
The indicator light flashes again.
D
The indicator light goes out after it comes on.
If this is the case, contact your Toyota dealer and have your vehicle inspected.
To crank the engine without depressing the clutch pedal, push the switch with the ignition on.
The switch stays on as long as the ignition is on. And it will automatically turn off when the ignition is off. An indicator light will illuminate to indicate the system is operating.
This switch cancels the clutch start system, which is designed to keep the starter motor from operating if the clutch pedal is not depressed all the way down.
The switch allows the vehicle to be driven out of difficult situations by cranking the engine with the clutch engaged.
109
Never use the switch for normal engine starting. Be sure to follow the starting procedure instructed in How to start the engine" in Part 3.

Using your audio system: some basics
This section describes some of the basic features on Toyota audio systems. Some information may not pertain to your system.
Your audio system works when the ignition key is in the ACC" or ON" position.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
Push PWR/VOL" or PWR·VOL" to turn the audio system on and off.
Push AM", FM1·2", TAPE", CD" or
AUX" to turn on that function without pushing PWR/VOL" or PWR·VOL".
You can turn on each player by inserting a cassette tape or compact disc.
You can turn off each player by ejecting the cassette tape or compact disc. If the audio system was previously off, then the entire audio system will be turned off when you eject the cassette tape or compact disc. If another function was previously playing, it will come on again.
SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS
Push AM", FM1·2", TAPE", CD" or
AUX" if the system is already on but you want to switch from one function to another.
TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system’s tone and balance controls, see the description of your own system.
Tone
How good an audio program sounds to you is largely determined by the mix of the treble, midrange, and bass levels. In fact, different kinds of music and vocal programs usually sound better with different mixes of treble, midrange and bass.
Balance
A good balance of the left and right stereo channels and of the front and rear sound levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a stereo recording or broadcast, changing the right/left balance will increase the volume of one group of sounds while decreasing the volume of another.
Type 5: Compact disc player
112
YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
To remove the antenna, carefully turn it counterclockwise.
To lower the power antenna, turn off the audio system by pushing PWR/VOL" or
PWR·VOL", or turn the ignition key to
LOCK".
YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
When you insert a cassette, the exposed tape should be to the right.
NOTICE
Do not oil any part of the player and do not insert anything other than cassette tapes into the slot, or the tape player may be damaged.
YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER
When you insert a disc, gently push it in with the label side up. (The player will automatically eject a disc if the label side is down.) The compact disc player will play from track 1 through the end of the disc. Then it will play from track 1 again.
On models with the compact disc auto changer, next disc will be played from track 1.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the compact disc player. Do not insert anything except a compact disc into the slot.

NOTICE
To ensure the correct audio system operation: z
Be careful not to spill beverages over the audio system.
z
Do not put anything other than a cassette tape or Compact Disc into the slot.
z
The use of cellular phone inside or near the vehicle may cause a noise from the speakers of the audio system which you are listening to.
However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio reception does not mean there is a problem with your radioit is just the normal result of conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain can interfere with FM reception. Power lines or telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited range, and the farther you are from a station, the weaker its signal will be. In addition, reception conditions change constantly as your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception problems that probably do not indicate a problem with your radio:
FM
Fading and drifting stationsGenerally, the effective range of FM is about 40 km (25 miles). Once outside this range, you may notice fading and drifting, which increase with the distance from the radio transmitter. They are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi−pathFM signals are reflective, making it possible for two signals to reach your antenna at the same time. If this happens, the signals will cancel each other out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Static and flutteringThese occur when signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or other large objects. Increasing the bass level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swappingIf the FM signal you are listening to is interrupted or weakened, and there is another strong station nearby on the FM band, your radio may tune in the second station until the original signal can be picked up again.
140
TUNDRA (34413U)
AM
FadingAM broadcasts are reflected by the upper atmosphereespecially at night.
These reflected signals can interfere with those received directly from the radio station, causing the radio station to sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interferenceWhen a reflected signal and a signal received directly from a radio station are very nearly the same frequency, they can interfere with each other, making it difficult to hear the broadcast.
StaticAM is easily affected by external sources of electrical noise, such as high tension power lines, lightening, or electrical motors. This results in static.
CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
AND TAPES
For high performance from your cassette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regularly.
D
A dirty tape head or tape path can decrease sound quality and tangle your cassette tapes. The easiest way to clean them is by using a cleaning tape.
(A wet type is recommended.)
Use high−quality cassettes.
D
Low−quality cassette tapes can cause many problems, including poor sound, inconsistent playing speed, and constant auto−reversing. They can also get stuck or tangled in the cassette player.
D
Do not use a cassette if it has been damaged or tangled or if its label is peeling off.
D
Do not leave a cassette in the player if you are not listening to it, especially if it is hot outside.
D
Store cassettes in their cases and out of direct sunlight.
D
Avoid using cassettes with a total playing time longer than 100 minutes (50 minutes per side). The tape used in these cassettes is thin and could get stuck or tangled in the cassette player.
CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC
PLAYER AND DISCS
D
Use only compact discs labeled as shown.
D
Extremely high temperatures can keep your compact disc player from working.
On hot days, use the air conditioning to cool the vehicle interior before you listen to a disc.
D
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may make your compact disc player skip.
141
TUNDRA (34413U)
D
If moisture gets into your compact disc player, you may not hear any sound even though your compact disc player appears to be working. Remove the disc from the player and wait until it dries.
D
Your automatic changer or compact disc player cannot play special shaped compact discs as shown. Do not use them as the changer or player could be damaged.
D
Your automatic changer or compact disc player cannot play low−quality compact discs as shown. Do not use them as the changer or player could be damaged.
142
D
Handle compact discs carefully, especially when you are inserting them.
Hold them on the edge and do not bend them. Avoid getting fingerprints on them, particularly on the shiny side.
D
Dirt, scrapes, warping, pin holes, or other disc damage could cause the player to skip or to repeat a section of a track. (To see a pin hole, hold the disc up to the light.)
D
Remove discs from the compact disc player when you are not listening to them. Store them in their plastic cases away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.
To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint−free cloth that has been dampened with water. Wipe in a straight line from the center to the edge of the disc
(not in circles). Dry it with another soft, lint−free cloth. Do not use a conventional record cleaner or anti−static device.
CAUTION
Compact disc players use an invisible laser beam which could cause hazardous radiation exposure if directed outside the unit. Be sure to operate the player correctly as instructed.

Types of tires
This vehicle is one of the class of vehicles which have higher ground clearance and narrower tread in relation to the height of their center of gravity to make them capable of performing in a wide variety of off−road applications.
Specific design characteristics give it a higher center of gravity than ordinary cars. 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 conventional two−wheel drive vehicles any more than low−slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off−road conditions.
165
TUNDRA (34413U)
CAUTION
Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of serious personal injury or damage to your vehicle:
D
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all possible. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover.
D
Avoid loading any items on the roof that will make the center of gravity even higher.
D
Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of its high center of gravity, your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordinary passenger car. Slowing down will allow you to have much better control.
D
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.
166
D
When driving off−road or in rugged terrain, do not drive at excessive speeds, jump the vehicle, or strike objects, etc. This may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover. You are also risking expensive damage to your vehicle’s suspension and chassis.
Break−in period
Drive gently and avoid high speeds.
Your vehicle does not need an elaborate break−in. But following a few simple tips for the first 1600 km (1000 miles) can add to the future economy and long life of your vehicle:
D
Do not drive over 88 km/h (55 mph).
D
Run the engine at moderate speed between 2000 and 4000 rpm.
D
Avoid full−throttle starts.
D
Try to avoid hard stops during the first
300 km (200 miles).
D
Do not drive slowly with the manual transmission in a high gear.
D
Do not drive for a long time at any single speed, either fast or slow.
D
Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500 miles).
TUNDRA (34413U)
Fuel
FUEL TYPE
Your new vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline.
To help prevent gas station mix−ups, your
Toyota has a new smaller fuel tank opening. The special nozzle on pumps with unleaded fuel will fit it, but the larger standard nozzle on pumps with leaded gas will not.
At a minimum, the gasoline you use should meet specifications of ASTM
D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB 3.5−M93 in Canada.
NOTICE
Do not use leaded gasoline. Use of leaded gasoline will cause the three− way catalytic converter to lose its effectiveness and the emission control system to function improperly. Also, this can increase maintenance costs.
OCTANE RATING
Select Octane Rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher.
Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating or research octane number lower than stated above will cause persistent heavy knocking. If it is severe, this will lead to engine damage.
If your engine knocks...
If you detect heavy knocking even when using the recommended fuel, or if you hear steady knocking while holding a steady speed on level roads, consult your
Toyota dealer.
However, now and then, you may notice light knocking for a short time while accelerating or driving up hills. This is no need of concern.
GASOLINES CONTAINING DETERGENT
ADDITIVES
Toyota recommends use of gasolines that contain detergent additives to avoid build−up of engine deposits.
For further details, ask your Toyota dealer or a local gasoline retailer.
IMPROVED GASOLINES
The American Automobile Manufacturers
Association (AAMA) has developed a specification of improved gasolines. The
AAMA specification offers optimal fuel information for better vehicle performance and better protection of your engine.
Toyota recommends the use of gasolines that meet the AAMA specification, if available, for improved driveability and emission control system.
GASOLINES CONTAINING MTBE
Gasolines that contain MTBE (Methyl
Tertiary−Butyl Ether) are available in the market. If you use a gasoline mixed with MTBE, make certain that it does not contain more than 15% of MTBE.
GASOLINES CONTAINING MMT
Some gasolines contain an octane−enhancing additive called MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl).
167
TUNDRA (34413U)
Toyota does not recommend the use of gasolines that contain MMT. If fuels containing MMT are used, your emission control system may be adversely affected.
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this happens, contact your Toyota dealer for service.
GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL
If you use gasohol in your Toyota, be sure that it is unleaded, has an octane rating no lower than 87 and does not contain more than 10% ethanol.
Gasohol is a mixture of gasoline and ethanol.
Toyota does not recommend the use of gasolines containing methanol. If you use gasoline containing methanol, use only gasoline meeting the requirements above and also containing less than 5% methanol with cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol.
GASOLINES QUALITY
In a very few cases, you may experience driveability problems caused by the particular gasoline that you are using. If you continue to have unacceptable driveability, try changing gasoline brands. If that does not rectify your problem, then consult your
Toyota dealer.
168
NOTICE z
Do not use gasohol other than stated above. It will cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems.
z
If driveability problems occur (poor hot starting, vaporizing, engine knock, etc.), discontinue the use.
z
Take care not to spill gasohol during refueling. Gasohol may cause paint damage.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY
100 L (26.4 gal., 22.0 Imp. gal.)
Operation in foreign countries
If you plan to drive your Toyota in another country...
First, comply with the vehicle registration laws.
Second, confirm the availability of the correct fuel (unleaded and minimum octane number).
Three−way catalytic converters
Type A Type C
Type B Type D
TUNDRA (34413U)
The three−way catalytic converter is an emission control device installed in the exhaust system.
The purpose is to reduce pollutants in the exhaust gas.
CAUTION
D
Keep people and combustible materials away from the exhaust pipe while the engine is running. The exhaust gas is very hot.
D
Do not drive, idle or park your vehicle over anything that might burn easily such as grass, leaves, paper or rags.
169
TUNDRA (34413U)
NOTICE
A large amount of unburned gases flowing into the three−way catalytic converter may cause it to overheat and create a fire hazard. To prevent this and other damage, observe the following precautions: z
Use only unleaded gasoline.
z
Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level; running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, creating an excessive load on the three− way catalytic converter.
z
Do not allow the engine to run at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
z
Avoid racing the engine.
z
Do not push−start or pull−start your vehicle.
z
Do not turn off the ignition while the vehicle is moving.
z
Keep your engine in good running order. Malfunctions in the engine electrical system, electronic ignition system/distributor ignition system or fuel systems could cause an extremely high three−way catalytic converter temperature.
z
If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, take your vehicle in for a check−up as soon as possible. Remember, your Toyota dealer knows your vehicle and its three−way catalytic converter system best.
z
To ensure that the three−way catalytic converter and the entire emission control system operate properly, your vehicle must receive the periodic inspections required by the
Toyota Maintenance Schedule. For scheduled maintenance information, refer to the separate Scheduled
Maintenance Guide" or Owner’s
Manual Supplement".
Engine exhaust cautions
CAUTION
D
Avoid inhaling the engine exhaust.
It contains carbon monoxide, which is a colorless and odorless gas. It can cause unconsciousness or even death.
D
Make sure the exhaust system has no holes or loose connections. The system should be checked from time to time. If you hit something, or notice a change in the sound of the exhaust, have the system checked immediately.
D
Do not run the engine in a garage or enclosed area except for the time needed to drive the vehicle in or out. The exhaust gases cannot escape, making this a particularly dangerous situation.
D
Do not remain for a long time in a parked vehicle with the engine running. If it is unavoidable, however, do so only in an unconfined area and adjust the heating or cooling system to force outside air into the vehicle.
170
TUNDRA (34413U)
D
To allow proper operation of your vehicle’s ventilation system, keep the inlet grilles in front of the windshield clear of snow, leaves, or other obstructions.
D
If you smell exhaust fumes in the vehicle, drive with the windows open. Have the cause immediately located and corrected.
D
Toyota does not recommend occupying the rear cargo area when it is fitted with a slide−in camper, camper shell or other type cover while the engine is running. This caution applies to both driving and stopped or parked situations with the engine running. Particular care should be taken to prevent exhaust gases from entering camper bodies, trailers or other enclosures on or around your vehicle. If exhaust fumes are detected, open all windows and thoroughly ventilate the area.
Facts about engine oil consumption
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 consumption in a normal engine are as follows.
D
Oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in the cylinder.
High negative pressure generated when the vehicle is decelerating sucks some of this oil into the combustion chamber.
This oil as well as some part of the oil film left on the cylinder wall is burned by the high temperature combustion gases during the combustion process.
D
Oil is also used to lubricate the stems of the intake valves. Some of this oil is sucked into the combustion chamber together with 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 of engine oil consumed depends on the viscosity of the oil, the quality of the oil and the conditions the vehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed by high−speed driving 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 the amount of oil consumption, note that the oil may become diluted and make it difficult to judge the true level accurately.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a normal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km (600 miles) or more. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has not changed.
171
TUNDRA (34413U)
Twin ground electrode spark plugs (5VZ−FE engine)
The diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle is then driven at high speeds, as on an expressway, making it appear that oil is excessively consumed after driving at high speeds.
IMPORTANCE OF ENGINE OIL LEVEL
CHECK
One of the most important points in proper vehicle maintenance is to keep the engine oil at the optimum level so that oil function will not be impaired. Therefore, it is essential that the oil level be checked regularly. Toyota recommends that the oil level be checked every time you refuel the vehicle.
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine trouble due to insufficient oil.
For detailed information on oil level check, see Checking the engine oil level" in
Chapter 7−2.
Your engine is fitted with twin ground electrode spark plugs.
NOTICE
Use only twin ground electrode spark plugs for your engine performance.
Brake system
TANDEM MASTER CYLINDER BRAKE
SYSTEM
The tandem master cylinder brake system is a hydraulic system with two separate sub−systems. If either sub−system should fail, the other will still work. However, the pedal will be harder to press, and your stopping distance will be longer. Also, the brake system warning light may come on.
CAUTION
Do not drive your vehicle with only a single brake system. Have your brakes fixed immediately.
BRAKE BOOSTER
The brake booster uses engine vacuum to power−assist the brakes. If the engine should quit while you are driving, you can bring the vehicle to a stop with normal pedal pressure. There is enough reserve vacuum for one or two stopsbut no more!
172
TUNDRA (34413U)
CAUTION
D
Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls. Each push on the pedal uses up your vacuum reserve.
D
Even if the power assist is completely lost, the brakes will still work. But you will have to push the pedal hardmuch harder than normal. And your braking distance will be longer.
ANTI−LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(with ABS" warning light)
The anti−lock brake system is designed to automatically help prevent lock−up of the wheels during sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. This assists in providing directional stability and steering performance of the vehicle under these circumstances.
The anti−lock brake system becomes operative after the vehicle has accelerated to a speed in excess of approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when the vehicle decelerates to a speed 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 indicate a malfunction.
Effective way to press the ABS" brake pedal: When the anti−lock brake system function is in action, you may feel the brake pedal pulsating and hear a noise.
In this situation, to let the anti−lock brake system work for you, just hold the brake pedal down more firmly. Do not pump the brake in a panic stop. Pumping the brake pedal makes the stopping distance longer.
The brake pedal pulsation caused by the anti−lock brake system may indicate hazardous road surface conditions. Although the anti−lock brake system assists in providing vehicle control, it is still important to drive with all due care, because the anti−lock brake system cannot overcome the laws of physics that act on your vehicle:
D
Braking capability is dependent on tire friction with the road surface.
D
Even though the anti−lock brake system is operating, a driver cannot maintain full control on certain slippery road surfaces, when cornering at high speeds, or in violent maneuvers.
D
Avoid high speeds on wet roads. The anti−lock brake system cannot eliminate the risk of hydroplaning and loss of tire friction.
Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Compared with vehicles not fitted with an anti−lock brake system, your vehicle may require a longer stopping distance in the following cases:
D
Driving on rough, gravel or snow−covered roads.
D
Driving with tire chains installed.
D
Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has other differences in surface height.
173
CAUTION
Do not use tires other than the manufacturer’s designated tires, and do not mix tires or wheels of different sizes. You may prevent the anti− lock brake system from operating at full effectiveness.
Type A
Type B
174
TUNDRA (34413U)
ABS" warning light
This light comes on when the ignition key is turned to the ON" position. After a few seconds, the light will go off.
If any of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by the warning light system. Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle.
D
The light does not come on as described above, or remains on.
D
The light comes on while driving.
Even if the anti−lock brake system should fail, the brake system will still operate conventionally. However, when the ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the anti−lock brake system is not assisting brake performance so that the wheels can lock−up during sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. Have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
TUNDRA (34413U)
Brake pad wear limit indicators
The brake pad wear limit indicators on your disc brakes give a warning noise when the brake pads are worn to where replacement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise while driving, have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. Expensive rotor damage can result if the pads are not replaced when necessary.
Luggage stowage precautions
When stowing luggage or cargo in the vehicle, observe the following:
D
Put luggage or cargo in the rear deck when at all possible. Be sure all items are secured in place.
D
Be careful to keep the vehicle balanced. Locating the weight as far forward as possible helps maintain balance.
D
For better fuel economy, do not carry unneeded weight.
CAUTION
D
To prevent luggage or packages from sliding forward during braking, do not stack anything behind the front seats higher than the seatbacks (access cab models). Keep luggage or packages low, as close to the floor as possible.
D
Never allow anyone to ride in the rear deck. 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 serious bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking or a collision.
D
Do not drive with objects left on top of the instrument panel. They may interfere with the driver’s field of view. Or they may move during sharp vehicle acceleration or turning, and impair the driver’s control of the vehicle. In an accident they may injure the vehicle occupants.
NOTICE
Do not load the vehicle beyond the cargo weight specified in Part 8.

Theft prevention labels
(except for Canada)
Your new vehicle carries theft prevention labels which are approximately 56 mm (2.20 in.) by 16 mm (0.63 in.).
The purpose of these labels is to reduce the incidence of vehicle thefts by facilitating the tracing and recovery of parts from stolen vehicles. The label is designed so that once it is applied to a surface, any attempt to remove it will result in destroying the integrity of the label. Transferring these labels intact from one part to another, will be impossible.
NOTICE
You should not attempt to remove the theft prevention labels as it may violate certain state or federal laws.
Suspension and chassis
CAUTION
Do not modify the suspension/chassis with lift kits, spacers, springs, etc. It can cause dangerous handling characteristics, resulting in loss of control.
Types of tires
Determine what kind of tires your vehicle is originally equipped with.
1. Summer tires
Summer tires are high−speed capability tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions.
Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow−covered or icy roads. For driving on snow−covered or icy roads, we recommend using snow tires. If installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
2. All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use all 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.
178
CAUTION
D
Do not mix summer and all season tires on your vehicle as this can cause dangerous handling characteristics, resulting in loss of control.
D
Do not use tires other than the manufacturer’s designated tires, and never mix tires or wheels of the sizes different from the originals.

z
Do not race a cold engine.
z
If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have the engine checked immediately.
Tips for driving in various conditions
D
Always slow down in gusty crosswinds.
This will allow you much better control.
D
Drive slowly onto curbs and, if possible, at a right angle. Avoid driving onto high, sharp−edged objects and other road hazards. Failure to do so can lead to severe tire damage resulting in tire bursts.
D
When parking on a hill, turn the front wheels until they touch the curb so that the vehicle will not roll. Apply the parking brake, and place the transmission in P" (automatic) or in first or reverse (manual). If necessary, block the wheels.
D
Washing your vehicle or driving through deep water may get the brakes wet. To see whether they are wet, check that there is no traffic near you, and then press the pedal lightly. If 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 applied. If they still do not work safely, pull to the side of the road and call a Toyota dealer for assistance.
182
TUNDRA (34413U)
D
Four−wheel drive modelsToyota recommends not using four−wheel drive on dry hard−surfaced roads, because four− wheel driving will cause unnecessary noise and wear, and poor fuel economy.
D
Four−wheel drive modelsIn cold temperatures, noise may occur when driving in two−wheel drive before the transfer is warmed up. Therefore, first drive in four−wheel drive until the transfer is warmed up.
CAUTION
D
Before driving off, make sure that the parking brake is fully released and the parking brake reminder light is off.
D
Do not leave your vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
D
Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving. It can cause dangerous overheating, needless wear, and poor fuel economy.
D
To drive down a long or steep hill, reduce your speed and downshift.
Remember, if you ride the brakes excessively, they may overheat and not work properly.
D
Be careful when accelerating, upshifting, downshifting or braking on a slippery surface. Sudden acceleration or engine braking could cause the vehicle to spin or skid.
D
Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit permits it, do not drive over 140 km/h (85 mph) unless your vehicle has high−speed capability tires.
Driving over 140 km/h (85 mph) may result in tire failure, loss of control and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer to determine whether the tires on your vehicle are high−speed capability tires or not before driving at such speeds.
D
Do not continue normal driving when the brakes are wet. If they are wet, your vehicle will require a longer stopping distance, and it may pull to one side when the brakes are applied. Also, the parking brake will not hold the vehicle securely.

CAUTION
Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of serious personal injury or damage to your vehicle:
D
Drive carefully when off the road.
Do not take unnecessary risks by driving in dangerous places.
D
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 especially your thumbs on the outside of the rim.
D
Always check your brakes for effectiveness immediately after driving in sand, mud, water or snow.
D
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.
D
The driver and all passengers should fasten their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving.
NOTICE z
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.
z
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 can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and premature failure, and may also enter the differentials, transmission and transfer case, reducing the gear oil’s lubricating qualities.
TUNDRA (34413U) z
Sand and mud that has accumulated in brake drums and around brake discs may affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system components.
z
Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off−road driving that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or water.
For scheduled maintenance information, refer to the separate
Scheduled Maintenance Guide" or
Owner’s Manual Supplement".
Winter driving tips
Make sure you have a proper freeze protection of engine coolant.
Your coolant must contain ethylene−glycol type coolant for a proper corrosion protection of aluminum components. Use
TOYOTA Long Life Coolant" or equivalent.
See Chapter 7−2 for details about coolant type selection.
NOTICE
Do not use alcohol type antifreeze or plain water alone.
When it is extremely cold, we recommend to use 60% solution for your Toyota, to provide protection down to about −50
°
C
(−58
°
F). Do not use more than 70% solution for better coolant performance.
Check the condition of the battery and cables.
Cold temperatures reduce the capacity of any battery, so it must be in top shape to provide enough power for winter starting. Chapter 7−3 tells you how to visually inspect the battery. Your Toyota dealer and most service stations will be pleased to check the level of charge.
Make sure the engine oil viscosity is suitable for the cold weather.
See Chapter 7−2 for recommended viscosity. Leaving a heavy summer oil in your vehicle during winter months may cause harder starting. If you are not sure about which oil to use, call your Toyota dealerhe will be pleased to help.
Keep the door locks from freezing.
Squirt lock de−icer or glycerine into the locks to keep them from freezing. To open a frozen lock, try heating the key before inserting it.
Use a washer fluid containing an antifreeze solution.
This product is available at your Toyota dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for how much to mix with water.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute because it may damage your vehicle’s paint.
185
TUNDRA (34413U)
Do not use your parking brake when there is a possibility it could freeze.
When parking, put the transmission into
P" (automatic) or into first or reverse
(manual) and block the front wheels. Do not use the parking brake, or snow or water accumulated in and around the parking brake mechanism may freeze, making it hard to release.
Keep ice and snow from accumulating under the fenders.
Ice and snow built up under your fenders can make steering difficult. During bad winter driving, stop and check under the fenders occasionally.
Depending on where you are driving, we recommend you carry some emergency equipment.
Some of the things you might put in the vehicle are tire chains, window scraper, bag of sand or salt, flares, small shovel, jumper cables, etc.
Trailer towing
Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger−and−load−carrying vehicle. Towing a trailer will have an adverse effect on handling, performance, braking, durability and driving economy (fuel consumption, etc.). Your safety and satisfaction 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. Ask your local Toyota dealer for further details before towing.
We recommend you use a weight distributing hitch when towing to keep your vehicle level with the ground.
NOTICE
When towing a trailer, be sure to consult your Toyota dealer for further information on additional requirements such as a towing kit, etc.
WEIGHT LIMITS
Before towing, make sure the total trailer weight, gross combination weight, gross vehicle weight, gross axle weight and trailer tongue load are all within the limits.
The total trailer weight and tongue load can be measured with platform scales found at highway weighing stations, building supply companies, trucking companies, junk yards, etc.
CAUTION
D
The maximum gross trailer weight
(trailer weight plus cargo weight) must never exceed the following.

However, if towing with a fifth wheel trailer, the cargo load must be distributed so that the tongue load is 19 to 21% of the total trailer weight. Never load the trailer with more weight in the back than in the front. About 60% of the trailer load should be in the front half of the trailer and the remaining 40% in the rear.
TUNDRA (34413U)
HITCHES
D
If you wish to install a trailer hitch, you should consult with your Toyota dealer.
D
Use only a hitch recommended by the hitch manufacturer and the one which conforms to the total trailer weight requirement.
D
The hitch must be bolted securely to the vehicle frame and installed according to the hitch manufacturer’s instructions.
D
The hitch ball and king pin should have a light coat of grease.
D
Toyota recommends removing the trailer hitch whenever you are not towing a trailer to reduce the possibility of additional damage caused by the hitch if your vehicle is struck from behind.
After removing the hitch, seal any mounting holes in the vehicle body to prevent entry of pollutants such as exhaust fumes, dirt, water, etc.
NOTICE
Do not use axle−mounted hitches as they can cause damage to the axle housing, wheel bearings, wheels or tires. Also, never install a hitch which may interfere with the normal function of an Energy Absorbing Bumper, if so equipped.

TUNDRA (34413U)
TRAILER BALL
Follow these easy steps to properly determine the correct trailer ball for your application:
1. Determine the correct trailer ball size for the trailer coupler. Most couplers are stamped with the required trailer ball size. The sizes you will most likely find stamped on the coupler are:
Trailer class Typical trailer ball size
III and IV 25/16 in.
II
I
2 in.
17/8 in.
2. Select the appropriate trailer ball to match or exceed the gross trailer weight rating of the trailer. The trailer ball load rating should be printed on the top of the ball.
3. When mounted in the ball mount, the threaded ball shank must protrude beyond the bottom of the lock washer and nut at least 2 threads. The trailer ball shank must be matched to the ball mount hole diameter size.
BUMPER TOWING
The rear bumper of your vehicle is equipped with a hole to install a trailer ball. The maximum gross trailer weight is
2268 kg (5000 lb.).
CAUTION
The maximum gross trailer weight
(trailer weight plus cargo weight) when towing with the bumper must never exceed 2268 kg (5000 lb.).
FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER
NOTICE
When towing a fifth wheel trailer, be careful not to hit the cabin or deck by the trailer while making a sharp turn.

TUNDRA (34413U)
MATCHING TRAILER BALL HEIGHT TO
TRAILER COUPLER HEIGHT
No matter which class of tow hitch applies, for a safe trailer hookup, the trailer ball setup on must be the proper height for the coupler on the trailer.
BRAKES AND SAFETY CHAINS
D
Toyota recommends trailers with brakes that conform to any applicable federal and state/provincial regulations.
D
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 case it becomes damaged or separated. For correct safety chain procedures, follow the hitch or trailer manufacturer’s recommendations.
CAUTION
D
If the total trailer weight exceeds
453 kg (1000 lb.), trailer brakes are required.
D
Never tap into your vehicle’s hydraulic system as it would lower its braking effectiveness.
D
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 over into another lane.
TIRES
D
Ensure that your vehicle’s tires are properly inflated. See Chapter 7−2 for instructions.
D
The trailer tires should be inflated to the pressure recommended by the trailer manufacturer in respect to the total trailer weight.
193
TUNDRA (34413U)
TRAILER LIGHTS
D
Your vehicle is equipped with a wire harness stored in the rear end under body. Some models are fitted with a socket for trailer lights under the rear bumper. Use either of them to connect and operate the trailer lights. However, the trailer lights must comply with federal, state/provincial and local regulations. See your local recreational vehicle dealer or rental agency for the correct type of wiring and relays for your trailer. Check for correct operation of the turn signals and stop lights each time you hitch up. Direct splicing may damage your vehicle’s electrical system and cause a malfunction of your lights.
194
BREAK−IN SCHEDULE
D
Toyota recommends that you do not tow a trailer with a new vehicle or a vehicle with any new power train component (engine, transmission, differential, wheel bearings, etc.) for the first
800 km (500 miles) of driving.
MAINTENANCE
D
If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load. For this information, please refer to the scheduled maintenance information in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide" or Owner’s
Manual Supplement".
D
Retighten all fixing bolts of the towing ball and bracket after approximately
1000 km (600 miles) of trailer driving.
PRE−TOWING SAFETY CHECK
D
Check that your vehicle remains level when a loaded or unloaded trailer is hitched. Do not drive if the vehicle has an abnormal nose−up or nose−down condition, and check for improper tongue load, overload, worn suspension or other possible causes.
D
Make sure the trailer cargo is securely loaded so that it cannot shift.
D
Check that your rear view mirrors conform to any applicable federal, state/ provincial or local regulation. If not, install the rear view mirrors required for towing purposes.
TRAILER TOWING TIPS
When towing a trailer, your vehicle will handle differently than when not towing. The three main causes of vehicle− trailer accidents are driver error, excessive speed and improper trailer loading.
Keep these in mind when towing:
D
Before starting out, check operation of the lights and all vehicle−trailer connections. After driving a short distance, stop and recheck the lights and connections. Before actually towing a trailer, practice turning, stopping and backing with a trailer in an area away from traffic until you learn the feel.
TUNDRA (34413U)
D
Backing with a trailer 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 procedure is generally opposite to that when backing without a trailer). Also, just turn the steering wheel a little at a time, avoiding sharp or prolonged turning. Have someone guide you when backing to reduce the risk of an accident.
D
Because stopping distance may be increased, vehicle−to−vehicle distance should be increased when towing a trailer. For each 16 km/h (10 mph) of speed, allow at least one vehicle and trailer length between you and the vehicle ahead. Avoid sudden braking as you may skid, resulting in jackknifing and loss of control. This is especially true on wet or slippery surfaces.
D
Avoid jerky starts or sudden acceleration. If your vehicle has a manual transmission, prevent excessive clutch slippage by keeping engine rpm low and not racing the engine. Always start out in first gear.
D
Avoid jerky steering and sharp turns.
The trailer could hit your vehicle in a tight turn. Slow down before making a turn to avoid the necessity of sudden braking.
D
Remember that when making a turn, the trailer wheels will be closer than the vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. Therefore, compensate for this by making a larger than normal turning radius with your vehicle.
D
Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely affect handling of your vehicle and trailer, causing sway. Pay attention to the rear from time to time to prepare yourself for being passed by large trucks or buses, which may cause your vehicle and trailer to sway. If swaying happens, firmly grip the steering wheel and reduce speed immediately but gradually. Never increase speed. Steer straight ahead. If you make no extreme correction with the steering or brakes, the vehicle and trailer will stabilize.
D
Be careful when passing other vehicles. Passing requires considerable distance. After passing a vehicle, do not forget the length of your trailer and be sure you have plenty of room before changing lanes.
D
In order to maintain engine braking efficiency, do not use fifth gear (manual transmission) or overdrive (automatic transmission).
D
Because of the added load of the trailer, your vehicle’s engine may overheat on hot days (at temperatures over
30
°
C [85
°
F]) when going up a long or steep grade with a trailer. If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating, immediately turn off the air conditioning (if in use), pull off the road and stop in a safe spot. Refer to If your vehicle overheats" in Part 4 of this manual.
D
Always place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Apply the parking brake firmly.
Put the transmission in P" (automatic) or in first or reverse (manual). Avoid parking on a slope with a trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so only after performing the following:
1. Apply the brakes and hold.
2. Have someone place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels.
3. When the wheel blocks are in place, release your brakes slowly until the blocks absorb the load.
195
TUNDRA (34413U)
4. Apply the parking brake firmly.
5. Shift into first or reverse (manual) or
P" (automatic) and turn off the engine.
When restarting out after parking on a slope:
1. With the transmission in P" position
(automatic) or the clutch pedal depressed (manual), start the engine.
(With an automatic transmission, be sure to keep the brake pedal depressed.)
2. Shift into gear.
3. Release the parking brake (also foot brake on automatic transmission vehicles) and slowly pull or back away from the wheel blocks. Stop and apply your brakes.
4. Have someone retrieve the blocks.
CAUTION
D
Do not exceed 72 km/h (45 mph) or the posted towing speed limit, whichever is lower. Because instability (swaying) of a towing vehicle− trailer combination usually increases as the speed increases, exceeding 72 km/h (45 mph) may cause loss of control.
D
Slow down and downshift before descending steep or long downhill grades. Do not make sudden downshifts.
D
Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat and result in reduced braking efficiency.
How to save fuel and make your vehicle last longer, too
Getting more kilometers/mileage from a liter/gallon of fuel is easyjust take it easy. It will help make your vehicle last longer, too. Here are some specific tips on how to save money on both fuel and repairs:
D
Keep your tires inflated at the correct pressure. Underinflation causes tire wear and wastes fuel. See Chapter
7−2 for instructions.
D
Do not carry unneeded weight in your vehicle. Excess weight puts a heavier load on the engine, causing greater fuel consumption.
D
Avoid lengthy warm−up idling. Once the engine is running smoothly, begin drivingbut gently. Remember, however, that on cold winter days this may take a little longer.
D
Accelerate slowly and smoothly.
Avoid jackrabbit starts. Get into high gear as quickly as possible.
D
Avoid long engine idling. If you have a long wait and you are not in traffic, it is better to turn off the engine and start again later.
196
TUNDRA (34413U)
D
Avoid engine lug or overrevving. Use a gear position suitable for the road on which you are travelling.
D
Avoid continuous speeding up and slowing down.
Stop−and−go driving wastes fuel.
D
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 to avoid traffic lights. Keep a proper distance from other vehicles to avoid sudden braking. This will also reduce wear on your brakes.
D
Avoid heavy traffic or traffic jams whenever possible.
D
Do not rest your foot on the clutch or brake pedal. This causes needless wear, overheating and poor fuel economy.
D
Maintain a moderate speed on highways. The faster you drive, the greater the fuel consumption. By reducing your speed, you will cut down on fuel consumption.
D
Keep the front wheels in proper alignment. Avoid hitting the curb and slow down on rough roads. Improper alignment not only causes faster tire wear but also puts an extra load on the engine, which, in turn, wastes fuel.
D
Keep the bottom of your vehicle free from mud, etc. This not only lessens weight but also helps prevent corrosion.
D
Keep your vehicle tuned−up and in 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.
(For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to the separate
Scheduled Maintenance Guide" or
Owner’s Manual Supplement").
CAUTION
Never turn off the engine to coast down hills. Your power steering and brake booster will not function without the engine running. Also, the emission control system operates properly only when the engine is running.

(a) Simple checks
Before making these checks, make sure you have followed the correct starting procedure given in How to start the engine" in Part 3 and that you have sufficient fuel.
If the engine is not turning over or is turning over too slowly
1. Check that the battery terminals are tight and clean.
2. If the battery terminals are O.K., switch on the interior light.
3. If the light is out, dim or goes out when the starter is cranked, the battery is discharged. You may try jump starting. See (c) Jump starting" for further instructions.
If the light is O.K., but the engine still will not start, it needs adjustment or repair.
Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop.
NOTICE
Do not pull− or push−start the vehicle. It may damage the vehicle or cause a collision when the engine starts. Also the three−way catalytic converter may overheat and become a fire hazard.
If the engine turns over at its normal speed but will not start
1. Check that all the push−on connectors are tight. (For example, connectors at the spark plugs, ignition coil and/or distributor)
2. If the connectors are O.K., the engine may be flooded because of repeated cranking. See (b) Starting a flooded engine" for further instructions.
199
TUNDRA (34413U)
(b) Starting a flooded engine
If the engine will not start, your engine may be flooded because of repeated cranking.
If this happens, turn the key to START" with the accelerator pedal held down.
Keep the key and accelerator pedal so for
15 seconds and release them. Then try starting the engine with your foot off the accelerator pedal.
If the engine does not start after 15 seconds of cranking, release the key, wait a few minutes and try again.
If the engine still will not start, it needs adjustment or repair. Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance.
NOTICE
Do not crank for more than 30 seconds at a time. This may overheat the starter and wiring systems.
(c) Jump starting
To avoid serious personal injury and damage to your vehicle which might result from battery explosion, acid burns, electrical burns, or damaged electronic components, these instructions must be followed precisely.
If you are unsure about how to follow this procedure, we strongly recommend that you seek the help of a competent mechanic or towing service.
CAUTION
D
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which is poisonous and corrosive.
Wear protective safety glasses when jump starting, and avoid spilling acid on your skin, clothing, or vehicle.
D
If you should accidentally get acid on yourself or in your eyes, remove any contaminated clothing and flush the affected area with water immediately. Then get immediate medical attention. If possible, continue to apply water with a sponge or cloth while en route to the medical office.
D
The gas normally produced by a battery will explode if a flame or spark is brought near. Use only standardized jumper cables and do not smoke or light a match while jump starting.
NOTICE
The battery used for boosting must be 12 V. Do not jump start unless you are sure that the booster battery is correct.
200
TUNDRA (34413U)
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
1. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, make sure the vehicles are not touching. Turn off all unnecessary lights and accessories.
2. If required, remove all the vent plugs from the booster and discharged batteries. Lay a cloth over the open vents on the batteries. (This helps reduce the explosion hazard, personal injuries and burns.)
3. If the engine in the vehicle with the booster battery is not running, start it and let it run for a few minutes. During jump starting, run the engine at about
2000 rpm with the accelerator pedal lightly depressed.

CAUTION
When making the connections, to avoid serious injury, do not lean over the battery or accidentally let the jumper cables or clamps touch anything except the correct battery terminals or the ground.
5. Start your engine in the normal way.
After starting, run it at about 2000 rpm for several minutes with the accelerator pedal lightly depressed.
6. Carefully disconnect the cables in the exact reverse order: the negative cable and then the positive cable.
7. Carefully dispose of the battery cover clothsthey may now contain sulfuric acid.
8. If removed, replace all the battery vent plugs.
If the cause of your battery discharging is not apparent (for example, lights left on), you should have it checked.
If your engine stalls while driving
If your engine stalls while driving...
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try starting the engine again.
If the engine will not start, see If your vehicle will not start".
CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering will not work, so steering and braking will be much harder than usual.
TUNDRA (34413U)
If your vehicle overheats
If your engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating, if you experience a loss of power, or if you hear a loud knocking or pinging noise, the engine has probably overheated. You should follow this procedure...
1. Pull safely off the road, stop the vehicle and turn on your emergency flashers. Put the transmission in P"
(automatic) or neutral (manual) and apply the parking brake. Turn off the air conditioning if it is being used.
2. If coolant or steam is boiling out of the radiator or reservoir, stop the engine.
Wait until the steam subsides before opening the hood. If there is no coolant boiling over or steam, leave the engine running.
CAUTION
To help avoid personal injury, keep the hood closed until there is no steam. Escaping steam or coolant is a sign of very high pressure.
3. Visually check to see if the engine drive belt (fan belt) is broken or loose.
Look for obvious coolant leaks from the radiator, hoses, and under the vehicle.
However, note that water draining from the air conditioning is normal if it has been used.
CAUTION
When the engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from the moving fan and engine drive belts.
4. If the engine drive belt is broken or the coolant is leaking, stop the engine immediately. Call a Toyota dealer for assistance.
5. If the engine drive belt is O.K. and there are no obvious leaks, you may help the engine cool down more quickly by running it at about 1500 rpm for a few minutes with the accelerator pedal lightly depressed.
6. Check the coolant reservoir. If it is dry, add coolant to the reservoir while the engine is running. Fill it about half full.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Serious injury could result from scalding hot fluid and steam blown out under pressure.
7. After the engine coolant temperature has cooled to normal, again check the coolant level in the reservoir. If necessary, bring it up to half full again. Serious coolant loss indicates a leak in the system. You should have it checked as soon as possible at your Toyota dealer.
203

Protecting your Toyota from corrosion
Toyota, through its diligent research, design and use of the most advanced technology available, 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 of corrosion to your vehicle are:
D
The accumulation of road salt, dirt and moisture in hard−to−reach areas under the vehicle.
D
Chipping of paint, or undercoating caused by minor accidents or by stones and gravel.
Care is especially important if you live in particular areas or operate your vehicle under certain environmental conditions:
D
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 industrial pollution.
D
High humidity accelerates corrosion especially when temperatures range just above the freezing point.
D
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.
D
High temperatures will cause corrosion to those components of the vehicle which are prevented from quick−drying due to lack of proper ventilation.
The above signifies the necessity to keep your vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean as possible and to repair any damage to paint or protective coatings as soon as possible.
To help prevent corrosion on your
Toyota, follow these guidelines:
Wash your vehicle frequently. It is, of course, necessary to keep your vehicle clean by regular washing, but to prevent corrosion, the following points should be observed:
D
If you drive on salted roads in the winter or if you live near the ocean, you should hose off the undercarriage at least once a month to minimize corrosion.
219
TUNDRA (34413U)
D
High pressure water or steam is effective for cleaning the vehicle’s underside and wheel housings. Pay particular attention to these areas as it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt. It will do more harm than good to simply wet the mud and debris without removing them.
The lower edge of doors, rocker panels and frame members have drain holes which should not be allowed to clog with dirt as trapped water in these areas can cause corrosion.
D
Wash the underside of the vehicle thoroughly when winter is over.
See Washing and waxing your Toyota" for more tips.
Check the condition of your vehicle’s paint and trim. If you find any chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately to prevent corrosion from starting. If the chips or scratches have gone through the bare metal, have a qualified body shop make the repair.
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, salt, etc.; these should be transported in proper containers. If a spill or leak should occur, immediately clean and dry the area.
Use mud shields on your wheels. If 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 fittings and the area where the shields are installed be treated to resist corrosion. Your Toyota dealer will be happy to assist in supplying and installing the shields if they are recommended for your area.
Keep your vehicle in a well ventilated garage or a roofed place. Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. If 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 corrosion. Even if your garage is heated, a wet vehicle can corrode if the ventilation is poor.

Hand−washing your Toyota
Work in the shade and wait until the vehicle body is not hot to the touch.
CAUTION
When cleaning under floor or chassis, be careful not to injure your hands.
TUNDRA (34413U)
1. Rinse off loose dirt with a hose. Remove any mud or road salt from the underside of the vehicle or in the wheel wells.
2. Wash with a mild car−wash soap, mixed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use a soft cotton mitt and keep it wet by dipping it frequently into the wash water. Do not rub hardlet the soap and water remove the dirt.
Aluminum wheels: Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent.
Plastic bumpers: Wash carefully. Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners. The bumper faces are soft.
Road tar: Remove with turpentine or cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces.
NOTICE
Do not use gasoline or strong solvents, which may be toxic or cause damage.
3. Rinse thoroughlydried soap can cause streaking. In hot weather you may need to rinse each section right after you wash it.
4. To prevent water spots, dry the vehicle using a clean soft cotton towel. Do not rub or press hardyou might scratch the paint.
Waxing your Toyota
Polishing and waxing is recommended to maintain the original beauty of your
Toyota’s finish.
Once a month or if the vehicle does not repel water well, apply wax.
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. If 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 temperatures could damage the bumpers.

TUNDRA (34413U)
Cleaning the interior
CAUTION
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water, or allow water to get onto the floor when cleaning the vehicle interior or exterior. Water may get into audio components or other electrical components above or under the floor carpet (or mat) and cause a malfunction; and it may cause body corrosion.
Vinyl interior
The vinyl upholstery may be easily cleaned with a mild soap or detergent and water.
First vacuum over the upholstery to remove loose dirt. Then, using a sponge or soft cloth, apply the soap solution to the vinyl. After allowing it to soak in for a few minutes to loosen the dirt, remove the dirt and wipe off the soap with a clean damp cloth. If all the dirt do not come off, repeat the procedure. Commercial foaming− type vinyl cleaners are also available which work well. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTICE
Do not use solvent, thinner, gasoline or window cleaner on the interior.
Carpets
Use a good foam−type shampoo to clean the carpets.
Begin by vacuuming thoroughly to remove as much dirt as possible. Several types of foam cleaners are available; some are in aerosol cans and others are powders or liquids which you mix with water to produce a foam. To shampoo the carpets, use a sponge or brush to apply the foam.
Rub in overlapping circles.
Do not apply waterthe best results are obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as possible. Read the shampoo instructions and follow them closely.
Seat belts
The seat belts may be cleaned with mild soap and water or with lukewarm water.
Use a cloth or sponge. As you are cleaning, check the belts for excessive wear, fraying, or cuts.
NOTICE z
Do not use dye or bleach on the beltsit may weaken them.
z
Do not use the belts until they become dry.
Windows
The windows may be cleaned with any household window cleaner.
Air conditioning control panel, car audio, instrument panel, console panel, and switches
Use a soft damp cloth for cleaning.
Soak a clean soft cloth in water or lukewarm water then lightly wipe off dirt.
NOTICE z
Do not use organic substances (solvents, kerosene, alcohol, gasoline, etc.) or alkaline or acidic solutions.
These chemicals can cause discoloring, staining or peeling of the surface.

TUNDRA (34413U) z
If you use cleaners or polishing agents, make sure their ingredients do not include the substances mentioned above.
z
If you use a liquid car freshener, do not spill the liquid onto the vehicle’s interior surfaces. It may contain the ingredients mentioned above. Immediately clean any spill using the method mentioned above.
Leather Interior
The leather upholstery may be cleaned with neutral detergent for wool.
Remove dirt using a soft cloth dampened with 5% solution of neutral detergent for wool. Then thoroughly wipe off all traces of detergent with a clean damp cloth.
After cleaning or whenever any part of the leather gets wet, dry with a soft clean cloth. Allow the leather to dry in a ventilated shaded area.
NOTICE z
If a stain should fail to come out with a neutral detergent, apply a cleaner that does not contain an organic solvent.
z
Never use organic substances such as benzine, alcohol or gasoline or alkaline or acid solutions for cleaning the leather as these could cause discoloring.
z
Use of a nylon brush or synthetic fiber cloth, etc. may scratch the fine grained surface of the leather.
z
Mildew may develop on soiled leather upholstery. Be especially careful to avoid oil spots. Try to keep your upholstery always clean.
z
Long exposure to direct sunlight may cause the leather surface to harden and shrink. Keep your vehicle in a shaded area, especially in the summer.
z
The interior of your vehicle is apt to heat up on hot summer days, so avoid placing on the upholstery items made of vinyl or plastic or containing wax as these tend to stick to leather when warm.

The scheduled maintenance items listed in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide" or
Owner’s Manual Supplement" are those required to be serviced at regular intervals.
For details of your maintenance schedule, read the separate Scheduled Maintenance
Guide" or Owner’s Manual Supplement".
It is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance or for the repair of the emission control system be Toyota supplied.
The owner may elect to use non−Toyota supplied parts for replacement purposes without invalidating the emission control system warranty. However, use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the effectiveness of the emission control systems.
225
TUNDRA (34413U)
You may also elect to have maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and system performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual without invalidating this warranty. See Owner’s Warranty Information Booklet" or Owner’s
Manual Supplement" for complete warranty information.
Where to go for service?
Toyota technicians are well−trained specialists and are kept up to date with the latest service information through technical bulletins, service tips, and in−dealership training programs. They learn to work on
Toyotas before they work on your vehicle, rather than while they are working on it.
You can be confident that your Toyota dealer’s service department performs the best job to meet the maintenance requirements on your vehiclereliably and economically.
Your copy of the repair order is proof that all required maintenance has been performed for warranty coverage. And if any problems should arise with your vehicle while under warranty, your Toyota dealer will promptly take care of it. Again, be sure to keep a copy of the repair order for any service performed on your Toyota.
226
What about do−it−yourself maintenance?
Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little mechanical ability and a few basic automotive tools. Simple instructions for how to perform them are presented in Part 7.

Do−it−yourself service precautions
If you perform maintenance by yourself, be sure to follow the correct procedure given in this part.
You should be aware that improper or incomplete servicing may result in operating problems.
Performing do−it−yourself maintenance during the warranty period may affect your warranty coverage. Read the separate
Toyota Warranty statement for details and suggestions.
This part gives instructions only for those items that are relatively easy for an owner to perform. As explained in Part 6, there are still a number of items that must be done by a qualified technician with special tools.
For information on tools and parts for do− it−yourself maintenance, see Parts and tools".
Utmost care should be taken when working on your vehicle to prevent accidental injury. Here are a few precautions that you should be especially careful to observe:
CAUTION
D
When the engine is running, keep hands, clothing, and tools away from the moving fan and engine drive belts. (Removing rings, watches, and ties is advisable.)
D
Right after driving, the engine compartmentthe engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, power steering fluid reservoir and spark plug boots, etc.will be hot. So be careful not to touch them. Oil, fluids and spark plugs may also be hot.
D
If the engine is hot, do not remove the radiator cap or loosen the drain plugs to prevent burning yourself.
D
Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open flames around fuel or the battery. Their fumes are flammable.
D
Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
D
Do not get under your vehicle with just the body jack supporting it. Always use automotive jack stands or other solid supports.
D
Use eye protection whenever you work on or under your vehicle where you may be exposed to flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc.
D
Used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin disorders such as inflammation or skin cancer, so care should be taken to avoid prolonged and repeated contact with it. To remove used engine oil from your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
D
Do not leave used oil within the reach of children.
D
Dispose of used oil and filter only in a safe and acceptable manner.
Do not dispose of used oil and filter in household trash, in sewers or onto the ground. Call your dealer or a service station for information concerning recycling or disposal.
235
TUNDRA (34413U)
NOTICE z
Remember that battery and ignition cables carry high currents or voltages. Be careful of accidentally causing a short circuit.
z
Add only demineralized or distilled water to fill the radiator. And if you spill some of the coolant, be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging the parts or paint.
z
Do not allow dirt or anything else to fall through the spark plug holes.
z
Do not pry the outer electrode of a spark plug against the center electrode.
z

Checking the engine oil level
Low level
Add oil O.K.
Full level
Too full
With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil level on the dipstick.
1. To get a true reading, the vehicle should be on a level spot. After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back into the bottom of the engine.
2. Pull out the dipstick, and wipe it clean with a rag.
3. Reinsert the dipstickpush it in as far as it will go, or the reading will not be correct.
4. Pull the dipstick out and look at the oil level on the end.
CAUTION
Be careful not to touch the hot exhaust manifold.
If the oil level is below or only slightly above the low level, add engine oil of the same type as already in the engine.
Remove the oil filler cap and add engine oil in small quantities at a time, checking the dipstick.
The approximate quantity of oil needed to fill between the low level and the full level on the dipstick is indicated below for reference.
When the level reaches within the correct range, install the filler cap hand−tight.
Oil quantity, L (qt., lmp. qt.):
5VZ−FE engine
2UZ−FE engine
1.2 (1.3, 1.1)
1.5 (1.6, 1.3)
NOTICE z
Avoid overfilling, or the engine could be damaged.
z
Check the oil level on the dipstick once again after adding the oil.
239
Engine oil selection
Use API grade SJ, Energy−Conserving" or ILSAC multigrade engine oil.
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 5W−30 is the best choice for your vehicle, for good fuel economy, and good starting in cold weather.
If you use SAE 10W−30 engine oil in extremely low temperatures, the engine may become difficult to start, so SAE
5W−30 engine oil is recommended.
API service symbol
ILSAC certification mark
240
TUNDRA (34413U)
Oil identification marks
Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil containers to help you select the oil you should use.
The API Service Symbol is located anywhere on the outside of the container.
The top portion of the label shows the oil quality by API (American Petroleum Institute) designations such as SJ. The center portion of the label shows the SAE viscosity grade such as SAE 5W−30. Energy−
Conserving" shown in the lower portion, indicates that the oil has fuel−saving capabilities.
The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee) Certification Mark is displayed on the front of the container.
TUNDRA (34413U)
Checking the engine coolant level
Look at the see−through coolant reservoir when the engine is cold. The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the F" and L" lines on the reservoir.
If the level is low, add ethylene−glycol type coolant for a proper corrosion protection of aluminum components.
The coolant level in the reservoir will vary with engine temperature. However, if the level is on or below the L" line, add coolant. Bring the level up to the F" line.
Always use ethylene−glycol type coolant for a proper corrosion protection of aluminum components. See information in the next column.
If the coolant level drops within a short time after replenishing, there may be a leak in the system. Visually check the radiator, hoses, radiator cap and drain cock and water pump.
If you can find no leak, have your Toyota dealer test the cap pressure and check for leaks in the cooling system.
CAUTION
To prevent burning yourself, do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
Coolant type selection
Use of improper coolants may damage your engine cooling system. Your coolant must contain ethylene−glycol type coolant for a proper corrosion protection of your engine that contains aluminum components. Use TOYOTA Long Life
Coolant" or equivalent.
In addition to preventing freezing and subsequent damage to the engine, this type of coolant will also prevent corrosion.
Further supplemental inhibitors or additives are neither needed nor recommended.
Read the coolant container for information on freeze protection. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for how much to mix with plain water (preferably demineralized water or distilled water). The total capacity of the cooling system is given in Part 8.
We recommend to use 50% solution for your Toyota, to provide protection down to about −35
_
C (−31
_
F). When it is extremely cold, to provide protection down to about −50
°
C (−58
°
F), 60% solution is recommended. Do not use more than 70% solution for better coolant performance.
NOTICE
Do not use alcohol type antifreeze or plain water alone.
241
TUNDRA (34413U)
Checking brake fluid
To check the fluid level, simply look at the see−through reservoir. The level should be between the MAX" and
MIN" lines on the reservoir.
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear. So be sure to keep the reservoir filled.
If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious mechanical problem.
If the level is low, add SAE J1703 or
FMVSS No.116 DOT 3 brake fluid to the brake reservoir.
Remove and replace the reservoir cover by hand. Fill the brake fluid to the dotted line. This brings the fluid to the correct level when you put the cover back on.
Use only newly opened brake fluid. Once opened, brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, and excess moisture can cause a dangerous loss of braking.
CAUTION
Take care when filling the reservoir because brake fluid can harm your eyes and damage painted surfaces. If fluid gets in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water.
NOTICE
If you spill the fluid, be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging the parts or paint.

243
TUNDRA (34413U)
Checking tire pressure
Keep your tire pressures at the proper level.
The recommended cold tire pressures, tire size and the cargo weight rating are given in Part 8.
You should check the tire pressures every two weeks, or at least once a month. And do not forget the spare!
Incorrect tire pressure can reduce tire life and make your vehicle less safe to drive.
Low tire pressure results in excessive wear, poor handling, reduced fuel economy, and the possibility of blowouts from overheated tires. Also, low tire pressure can cause poor sealing of the tire bead.
If the tire pressure is excessively low, there is the possibility of wheel deformation and/or tire separation.
High tire pressure produces a harsh ride, handling problems, excessive wear at the center of the tire tread, and a greater possibility of tire damage from road hazards.
If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.
The following instructions for checking tire pressure should be observed:
D
The pressure should be checked 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 1.5 km or 1 mile since, you will get an accurate cold tire pressure reading.
D
Always use a tire pressure gauge.
The appearance of a tire can be misleading. Besides, tire pressures that are even just a few pounds off can degrade handling and ride.
D
Do not bleed or reduce tire pressure after driving. It is normal for the tire pressure to be higher after driving.
D
Never exceed the cargo weight rating. The luggage weight should be distributed evenly.
D
Be sure to reinstall the tire inflation valve caps. Without the valve caps, dirt or moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If the caps have been lost, have new ones put on as soon as possible.
Checking and replacing tires
Tread wear indicator
CHECKING YOUR TIRES
Check the tire tread for the tread wear indicators. If the indicators show, replace the tires.
The tires on your Toyota have built−in tread wear indicators to help you know when the tires need replacement. When the tread depth wears to 1.6 mm (0.06
in.) or less, the indicators will appear. If you can see the indicators in two or more adjacent grooves, the tire should be replaced. The lower the tread, the higher the risk of skidding.
The effectiveness of snow tires is lost if the tread wears down below 4 mm
(0.16 in.).
244
TUNDRA (34413U)
Rotating tires
Check the tires regularly for damage such as cuts, splits and cracks. If any damage is found, consult with a technician and have the tire repaired or replaced.
Even if the damage does not appear serious, a qualified technician should examine the damage. Objects which have penetrated the tire may have caused internal damage.
Any tires which are over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if damage is not obvious.
Tires deteriorate with age even if they have never or seldom been used.
This also applies to the spare tire and tires stored for future use.
REPLACING YOUR TIRES
When replacing a tire, use only the same size and construction as originally installed and with the same or greater load capacity.
Using any other size or type of tire may seriously affect handling, ride, speedometer/odometer calibration, ground clearance, and clearance between the body and tires or snow chains.
CAUTION
D
Do not mix radial, bias belted, or bias−ply tires on your vehicle. It can cause dangerous handling characteristics, resulting in loss of control.
D
Do not use tires or wheels other than the manufacturer’s recommended size.
Toyota recommends all four tires, or at least both of the front or rear tires be replaced at a time as a set.
See If you have a flat tire" in Part 4 for tire change procedure.
When a tire is replaced, the wheel should always be balanced.
An unbalanced wheel may affect vehicle handling and tire life. Wheels can get out of balance with regular use and should therefore be balanced occasionally.
When replacing a tubeless tire, the air valve should also be replaced with a new one.
With a spare tire of the same wheel type as the installed tires
With a spare tire of different wheel type from the installed tires
245
TUNDRA (34413U)
To equalize tire wear and help extend tire life, Toyota recommends that you rotate your tires approximately every
12000 km (7500 miles). However, the most appropriate timing for tire rotation may vary according to your driving habits and road surface conditions.
See If you have a flat tire" in Part 4 for tire change procedure.
When rotating tires, check for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tire pressure, improper wheel alignment, out−of−balance wheels, or severe braking.
Installing snow tires and chains
WHEN TO USE SNOW TIRES OR
CHAINS
Snow tires or chains are recommended when driving on snow or ice.
On wet or dry roads, conventional tires provide better traction than snow tires.
SNOW TIRE SELECTION
If you need snow tires, select the same size, construction and load capacity as the original tires on your Toyota.
Do not use tires other than those mentioned above. Do not install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restrictions.
SNOW TIRE INSTALLATION
Snow tires should be installed on all wheels.
Installing snow tires on the rear wheels only can lead to an excessive difference in road grip capability between the front and rear tires which could cause loss of vehicle control.
When storing removed tires, you should store them in a cool dry place.
Mark the direction of rotation and be sure to install them in the same direction when replacing.
CAUTION
D
Do not drive with the snow tires incorrectly inflated.
D
Never drive over 120 km/h (75 mph) with any type of snow tires.
TIRE CHAIN SELECTION
Use the tire chains of correct size.
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary according to location or type of road, so always check them before installing chains.
CHAIN INSTALLATION
Install the chains on the rear tires as tightly as possible. Do not use tire chains on the front tires. Retighten chains after driving 0.51.0 km
(1/41/2 mile).
When installing chains on your tires, carefully follow the instructions of the chain manufacturer.
If wheel covers are used, they will be scratched by the chain band, so remove the covers before putting on the chains.
246
TUNDRA (34413U)
CAUTION
D
Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) or the chain manufacturer’s recommended speed limit, whichever is lower.
D
Drive carefully avoiding bumps, holes, and sharp turns, which may cause the vehicle to bounce.
D
Avoid sharp turns or locked−wheel braking, as use of chains may adversely affect vehicle handling.
Replacing wheels
WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR WHEELS
If you have wheel damage such as bending, cracks or heavy corrosion, the wheel should be replaced.
If you fail to replace damaged wheels, the tire may slip off the wheel or they may cause loss of handling control.
WHEEL SELECTION
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that the wheels are replaced by ones with the same load capacity, diameter, rim width, and offset.
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 aim, 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.
247
Aluminum wheel precautions
D
After driving your vehicle the first 1600 km (1000 miles), check that the wheel nuts are tight.
D
If you have rotated, repaired, or changed your tires, check that the wheel nuts are still tight after driving
1600 km (1000 miles).
D
When using tire chains, be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels.
D
Use only the Toyota wheel nuts and wrench designed for your aluminum wheels.
D
When balancing your wheels, use only
Toyota balance weights or equivalent and a plastic or rubber hammer.
D
As with any wheel, periodically check your aluminum wheels for damage. If damaged, replace immediately.

EMERGENCY MEASURES
D
If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water immediately and get immediate medical attention. If possible, continue to apply water with a sponge or cloth while en route to the medical office.
D
If electrolyte gets on your skin, thoroughly wash the contact area. If you feel pain or burning, get medical attention immediately.
D
If electrolyte gets on your clothes, there is a possibility of its soaking through to your skin, so immediately take off the exposed clothing and follow the procedure above, if necessary.
D
If you happen to swallow electrolyte, drink a large quantity of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten raw egg or vegetable oil. Then go immediately for emergency help.

Checking battery exterior
Terminals
Hold−down clamp
Ground cable
Check the battery for corroded or loose terminal connections, cracks, or loose hold−down clamp.
a. If the battery is corroded, wash it off with a solution of warm water and baking soda. Coat the outside of the terminals with grease to prevent further corrosion.
b. If the terminal connections are loose, tighten their clamp nutsbut do not overtighten.
c. Tighten the hold−down clamp only enough to keep the battery firmly in place. Overtightening may damage the battery case.
NOTICE z
Be sure the engine and all accessories are off before performing maintenance.
z
When checking the battery, remove the ground cable from the negative terminal (−" mark) first and reinstall it last.
z
Be careful not to cause a short circuit with tools.

Battery recharging precautions
During recharging, the battery is producing hydrogen gas.
Therefore, before recharging:
1. If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect the ground cable.
2. Be sure the power switch on the recharger is off when connecting the charger cables to the battery and when disconnecting them.
CAUTION
D
Always charge the battery in an unconfined area. Do not charge the battery in a garage or closed room where there is not sufficient ventilation.
D
Only do a slow charge (5 A or less). Charging at a quicker rate is dangerous. The battery may explode, causing personal injuries.

NOTICE
Never recharge the battery while the engine is running. Also, be sure all accessories are turned off.
Good Blown
If the headlights or other electrical components do not work, check the fuses. If any of the fuses are blown, they must be replaced.
See Fuse locations" in Chapter 7−1 for locations of the fuses.
Turn the ignition switch and inoperative component off. Pull a suspected fuse straight out and check it.
Determine which fuse may be causing the problem. 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.
251
TUNDRA (34413U)
Type A fuses can be pulled out by the pull−out tool. The location of the pull−out tool is shown in the illustration.
If you are not sure whether the fuse has blown, try replacing the suspected fuse with one that you know is good.
If the fuse has blown, push a new fuse into the clip.
Only install a fuse with the amperage rating designated on the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in an emergency you can pull out the DOME",
A/C" or HTR" fuse, which may be dispensable for normal driving, and use it if its amperage rating is the same.
If you cannot use one of the same amperage, use one that is lower, but as close as possible to the rating. If the amperage is lower than that specified, the fuse might blow out again but this does not indicate anything wrong. Be sure to get the correct fuse as soon as possible and return the substitute to its original clip.
It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep them in your vehicle for emergencies.
If the new fuse immediately blows out, there is a problem with the electrical system. Have your Toyota dealer correct it as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Never use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, or any other object, in place of a fuse. This may cause extensive damage and possibly a fire.
Adding washer fluid
If any washer does not work or low windshield washer fluid level warning light comes on, the washer tank may be empty. Add washer fluid.
You may use plain water as washer fluid.
However, in cold areas where temperatures range below freezing point, use washer fluid containing antifreeze. This product is available at your Toyota dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for how much to mix with water.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute because it may damage your vehicle’s paint.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the U.S. 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 answer any questions you may have as you read this information.
DOT quality gradesAll passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety
Requirements in addition to these grades. These quality grades are molded on the sidewall.
Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under 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 ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions 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. 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. 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.
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.

When the truck is used to carry a slide−in camper, the total cargo load of the truck consists of the manufacturer’s camper weight figure, the weight of installed additional camper equipment not included in the manufacturer’s camper weight figure, the weight of camper cargo, and the weight of passengers in the camper.
The total cargo load should not exceed the truck’s cargo weight rating and the camper’s center of gravity should fall within the truck’s recommended center of gravity zone when installed.
CAUTION
Be carefuloverloading can cause dangerous braking and handling problems, and can damage your vehicle and its tires.
Gross axle and vehicle weight ratings
Gross axle weight rating
Front GAWR Rear GAWR
Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that could affect the balance of your vehicle. When the truck camper is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh on the front and on the rear wheels separately to determine axle loads. Individual axle loads should not exceed either of the Gross
Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle loads should not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
These ratings are given on the vehicle
Certification Label which is located on the door latch post on the left side of the vehicle. See Your Toyota’s identification" in Part 2 for the Certification Label location. If weight ratings are exceeded, move or remove items to bring all weights below the ratings.
