Important information about your Toyota

Occupant restraint systems

Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to read Section 1 − 3 of this Owner’s Manual carefully. In terms of helping you understand how you can receive the maximum benefit of the occupant restraint systems this vehicle provides, Section 1 − 3 of this Owner’s Manual is the most important Section for you and your family to read.

Section 1 − 3 describes the function and operation concerning seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraint systems of this vehicle and some potential hazards you should be aware of. These systems work together along with the overall structure of this vehicle in order to provide occupant restraint in the event of a crash. The effect of each system is enhanced when it is used properly and together with other systems. No single occupant restraint system can, by itself, provide you or your family with the equal level of restraint which these systems can provide when used together. That is why it is important for you and your family to understand the purpose and proper use of each of these systems and how they relate to each other.

iii

The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in the event of a collision. None of these systems, either individually or together, can ensure that there is no injury in the event of collision. However, the more you know about these systems and how to use them properly, the greater your chances become of surviving an accident without death or serious injury.

Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of the vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should wear seat belts properly at all times. Children should always be secured in child restraint systems that are appropriate for their age and size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are, as their names imply, designed to work with, and be supplemental to, seat belts and are not substitutes for them. SRS airbags can be very effective in reducing the risk of head and chest injuries by preventing contact of the head and chest with interior portions of the vehicle.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS airbags makes the SRS airbags themselves potential sources of death or serious injury if an occupant is too close to an airbag, or if an object or some part of his or her body has been placed between the occupant and the airbag at the time of deployment. This is just one example of how the instructions in Section 1 − 3 of this Owner’s Manual will help ensure proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and increase the safety they can provide to you and your family in the event of an accident.

Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section

1 − 3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time of ownership of this vehicle.

iv

Event data recorder

Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control certain aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in driving and maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Besides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is a system to record data in a crash or a near car crash event. This is called an Event Data Recorder (EDR).

The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a crash or a near car crash event, this device may record some or all of the following information:

D Engine speed

D Whether the brake pedal was applied or not

D Vehicle speed

D To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed

D Position of the transmission selector lever

D Whether the driver and front passenger wore the seat belts or not

D Driver’s seat position

D Front passenger’s occupant classification

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

D SRS airbag deployment data

D SRS airbag system diagnostic data

The information above is intended to be used for the purpose of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike general data recorders, the EDR does not record sound data such as conversation between passengers.

Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except when:

D An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the leasing company for a leased vehicle) is obtained

D Officially requested by the police or other authorities

D Used as a defense for Toyota in a law suit

D Ordered by the court

However, if necessary Toyota will:

D Use the data for research on Toyota vehicle safety performance

D Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing details of the vehicle owner, and only when it is deemed necessary

D Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identification information to a non − Toyota organization for research purposes v

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

New vehicle warranty

Your new vehicle is covered by the following Toyota limited warranties:

D New vehicle warranty

viii

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

Scrapping of your Toyota

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your

Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dispose of your vehicle.

On−pavement and off−road driving tips

This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from an ordinary passenger car because it is also designed for off − road use. It has a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. In addition, this vehicle has a higher ground clearance and center of gravity than that of an ordinary passenger car. This vehicle design feature causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to rollover.

Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control, accidents or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. Be sure to read “Off − road vehicle

precautions” on page 442 in Section 2 and “Off

− road

driving precautions” on page 478 in Section 3.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

Leak detection pump

This pump performs fuel evaporation leakage check. This check is done approximately five hours after the engine is turned off. So you may hear sound coming from underneath the deck for several minutes. It does not indicate a malfunction.

Perchlorate Material

Special handling may apply,

See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate.

These components may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote control batteries.

Keys (with engine immobilizer system)

XS12049

These keys work in every lock.

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys.

1. Master keys—These keys work in every lock.

2. Sub key—This key will not work in the glove box and tailgate.

To protect items locked in the glove box when using valet parking, leave the sub key with the attendant.

Since the side doors can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.

KEY NUMBER PLATE

Your key number is shown on the plate.

Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.

If you should lose your keys or if you need additional keys, duplicates can be made by a Toyota dealer using the key number.

We recommend writing down the key number and storing it in a safe place.

Your vehicle is supplied with the two kinds of keys.

1. Master keys (black)—These keys work in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will need one of them to make a new key with a built − in transponder chip.

2. Sub key (gray)—This key will not work in the glove box and tailgate.

A transponder chip for engine immobilizer system has been placed in the head of the master and sub keys. These chips are needed to enable the system to function correctly, so be careful not to lose these keys. If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the system or start the engine.

NOTICE

When using a key containing a transponder chip, observe the following precautions: z

When starting the engine, do not use the key with a key ring resting on the key grip and do not press the key ring against the key grip.

Otherwise the engine may not start, or may stop soon after it starts.

z

When starting the engine, do not use the key with other transponder keys around (including keys of other vehicles) and do not press other key plates against the key grip.

Otherwise the engine may not start, or may stop soon after it starts. If this happens, remove the key once and then insert it again after removing other transponder keys (including keys of other vehicles) from the ring or while gripping or covering them with your hand to start the engine.

Seats

While the vehicle is being driven, all vehicle occupants should have the seatback upright, sit well back in the seat and properly wear the seat belts provided.

CAUTION

D

Do not drive the vehicle unless the occupants are properly seated. Do not allow any passengers to sit on top of a folded−down seatback, or in the luggage compartment or cargo area. Persons not properly seated and/or not properly restrained by seat belts can be killed or severely injured in the event of emergency braking or a collision.

D

During driving, do not allow any passengers to stand up or move around between seats. Otherwise, death or severe injuries can occur in the event of emergency braking or a collision.

Front seats—

—Front seat precautions

Driver seat

CAUTION

The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.

The National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (“NHTSA”) advises:

Since the risk zone for driver airbag is the first 50—75 mm (2—3 in.) of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag provides you with a clear margin of safety.

This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in several ways:

D

Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably.

D

Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non−slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.

D

If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the airbag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.

The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls.

48

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

Front passenger seats

CAUTION

The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.

Front seats

CAUTION

The SRS side airbags are installed in the driver and front passenger seats.

Observe the following precautions.

D

Do not lean against the front door when the vehicle is in use, since the side airbag inflates with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, you may be killed or seriously injured.

D

Do not use seat accessories which cover the area where the side airbags inflate. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, causing death or serious injury.

D

Do not modify or replace the seats or upholstery of the seats with side airbags. Such change may prevent the side airbag system from activating correctly, disable the system, or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.

—Seat adjustment precautions

CAUTION

D

Do not adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

D

Be careful that the seat does not hit a passenger or luggage.

D

After adjusting the seat position, release the lever and try sliding the seat forward and backward to make sure it is locked in position.

D

After adjusting the seatback, push your body back against the seat to make sure the seat is locked in position.

D

Do not put objects under the seats.

Otherwise, the objects may interfere with the seat−lock mechanism or unexpectedly push up the seat position adjusting lever and the seat may suddenly move, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

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.

The seat belts provided for your vehicle are designed for people of adult size, large enough to properly wear them.

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”

on page 115 in this Section for details.

REGULAR 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.

DOUBLE CAB AND CREW MAX

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.

66

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

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.

Do not allow any children 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. Holding a child in your arms does not provide sufficient restraint.

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 people—even children.

D

Avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed. The seat belts provide maximum protection in a frontal or rear collision when the driver and the front passenger are sitting up straight and well back in the seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoulder belt. In the event of a frontal collision, the more the seat is reclined, the greater the risk of death or serious injury.

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 cleaners, or allow them to come into contact with the belts—they may severely weaken the belts. (See

“Cleaning the interior” on page 529

in Section 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.

USING FRONT SEAT BELT HANGERS

(Regular cab models)

Raise the front seat belt hanger until it locks before you fasten the front seat belt.

You will hear a click when the seat belt hanger locks in raised position.

CAUTION

Make sure the seat belt hanger is secured in the raised position before you fasten the seat belt. If it is not, the seat belt may not work properly.

Adjust the seat as needed 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.

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” on page 115 in this Section.) To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more.

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.

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, because it cannot protect an adult occupant or your child from death or serious injury.

—Seat belt extender

If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely because they are not long enough, a personalized seat belt extender is available from your Toyota dealer free of charge.

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 precautions.

Failure to follow these instructions could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt restraint system in case of an accident, increasing the chance of death or serious injury.

D

Remember that the extender provided for you may not be safe when used on a different vehicle, for another person, or at a different seating position than the one originally intended.

XS13127

D

If the seat belt extender has been connected to the driver’s seat belt buckle without the driver actually wearing the seat belt, the SRS driver’s airbag system will judge that the driver is wearing it. In this case, the driver’s airbag may not activate correctly, causing death or serious injury in the event of collision. Be sure to wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.

Make sure the passenger airbag on− off indicator light indicates “ON” when using the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the indicator light indicates “OFF”, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender after making sure the indicator light indicates “ON”. If you use the seat belt extender while the indicator light indicates

“OFF”, the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger side may not activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in the event of collision.

D

Do not use the seat belt extender if it is not absolutely necessary.

D

Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system on the front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of collision.

XS13128

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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

As far as the seat belt extender on the front passenger side is concerned, do not fail to disconnect the extender from the seat belt after the above operation in order to activate the front passenger airbag correctly when getting into the vehicle next time.

When not in use, remove the extender and store in the vehicle for future use.

CAUTION

D

After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the lap and shoulder portions of the belt and the seat belt extender are 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, because it cannot protect an adult occupant or your child from death or serious injury.

—Seat belt pretensioners

XS13020

The driver and front passenger seat belt pretensioners are designed to be activated in response to a severe frontal impact. On vehicles equipped with curtain shield airbags, the pretensioners are also activated during vehicle roll over.

When the sensor detects a severe frontal impact or a vehicle roll over, the front seat belts are quickly drawn back by the retractors so that the belts snugly restrain the occupants.

The front passenger’s seat belt pretensioner will not activate if no passenger is detected in the front passenger seat by the front passenger occupant classification system. However, the front passenger’s seat belt pretensioner may activate if luggage is put on the seat, or the seat belt is buckled up regardless of the presence of an occupant in the seat. (As for the front passenger occupant classification system, see “—Front passenger occupant

classification system” on page 105 in this

SRS airbags—

—SRS driver airbag and front passenger airbag (Regular cab models)

XS13130a

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) front airbags are designed to provide further protection for the driver and right front passenger in addition to the primary safety protection provided by the seat belts.

Your vehicle is equipped with “ADVANCED

AIRBAGS” designed based on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag system controls airbag deployment power for the driver and right front passenger. The driver airbag system consists of the driver seat’s position sensor etc.

The front passenger’s airbag system consists of the front passenger occupant classification sensor etc.

Vehicles with bench seats—The SRS airbags are designed to protect the driver and right front passenger and they are not designed to protect an occupant in the front center seating position.

In response to a severe frontal impact, the SRS front airbags work with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflating.

The SRS front airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s or front passenger’s head or chest caused by hitting the vehicle interior.

The SRS front passenger airbag will not activate if there is no passenger sitting in the right front passenger seat. However, the front passenger airbag may deploy if luggage is put in the seat. (As for the front passenger occupant classification system, see “—Front passenger occupant

classification system” on page 105 in this

Section.)

Always wear your seat belt properly.

CAUTION

D

The SRS front airbag system is designed only as a supplement to the primary protection of the driver and front passenger seat belt systems.

The driver and front passenger can be killed or seriously injured by the inflating airbags if they do not wear the available seat belts properly.

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 ensure maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. Wearing a seat belt properly during an accident reduces the chances of death or serious injury or being thrown out of the vehicle. For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system, see “Seat

belts” on page 66 in this Section.

page 115 in this Section.

XS13218

Indicator light

The passenger airbag system is equipped with a off switch and indicator light. Turning the passenger airbag off switch clockwise to the “AUTO” position makes the front passenger airbag system operational. To disable the front passenger airbag system, turn the off switch counterclockwise to the

“OFF” position and remove the key. The

“OFF” indicator light will come on when the front passenger airbag system has been disabled.

See “—Passenger airbag off switch” on

CAUTION

D

Do not turn off the passenger airbag 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 off switch is turned off, the front passenger airbag will not inflate in a collision and turning off the front passenger airbag can reduce the occupant protection which your vehicle safety systems can provide to you in certain accidents and increase the likelihood of death or serious injuries.

Infant.

An infant (less than 1 year old) who must ride in the front seat because:

D Vehicle has no rear seat;

D Vehicle has a rear seat too small to accommodate a rear − facing infant seat; or

D The infant has a medical condition which, according to the infant’s physician, makes it necessary for the infant to ride in the front seat so that the driver can constantly monitor the child’s condition.

Child age 1 to 12.

A child age 1 to 12 must ride in the front seat because:

D Vehicle has no rear seat:

D Although children ages 1 to 12 ride in the rear seat(s) whenever possible, children ages 1 to 12 sometimes must ride in the front because no space is available in the rear seat(s) of vehicle; or

D The child has a medical condition which, according to the child’s physician, makes it necessary for the child to ride in the front seat so that the driver can constantly monitor the child’s condition.

Medical condition.

A passenger has a medical condition which according to his or her physician:

D Causes the passenger airbag to pose a special risk for the passenger: and

D Makes the potential harm from the passenger airbag in a crash greater than the potential harm from turning off the airbag and allowing the passenger, even if belted, to hit the dashboard, or windshield in a crash.

For more detailed information concerning about the passenger risk group, please contact NHTSA at 1 − 888 − 327 − 4236 or Transport Canada at 1 − 800 − 333 − 0371.

The SRS front airbags are designed to deploy in severe (usually frontal) collisions where the magnitude and duration of the forward deceleration of the vehicle exceeds the designed threshold level.

The SRS front 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 the vehicle has the impact straight into a fixed barrier that does not move or deform.

However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision (e.g. a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck, etc.).

It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of the vehicle is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front airbags and seat belt pretensioners may not activate together.

Always wear your seat belts properly.

XS13110 XS13141a

The SRS front airbags are not generally designed to inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low− speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.

80

Landing hard or vehicle falling

The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.

The SRS front airbag system consists mainly of the following components, and their locations are shown in the illustration.

1. Front airbag sensors

2. Passenger airbag on − off indicator light

3. Airbag module for front passenger

(airbag and inflator)

4. Passenger airbag off switch

5. Front passenger occupant classification

9. Driver’s seat position sensor

10. Airbag sensor assembly

11. Airbag module for driver

(airbag and inflator)

12. SRS warning light

The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and airbag sensor.

The airbag sensors constantly monitor the forward deceleration of the vehicle. If an impact results in a forward deceleration beyond the designed threshold level, the system triggers the airbag inflators. At this time a chemical reaction in the inflators very quickly fills the airbags with non − toxic gas to help restrain the forward motion of the occupants. The front airbags then quickly deflate, so that there is no obstruction of the driver’s vision should it be necessary to continue driving.

When the airbags inflate, they produce a loud noise and release some smoke and residue along with non − toxic gas. This does not indicate a fire. This smoke may remain inside the vehicle for some time, and may cause some minor irritation to the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin irritation with soap and water. If you can safely exit from the vehicle, you should do so immediately.

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, primarily to the head and chest, it may also cause other, less severe injuries to the face, chest, arms and hands. These are usually in the nature of minor burns or abrasions and swelling, but the force of a deploying airbag can cause more serious injuries, especially if an occupant’s hands, arms, chest or head is in close proximity to the airbag module at the time of deployment. This is why it is important for the occupant to: avoid placing any object or part of the body between the occupant and the airbag module; sit straight and well back into the seat; wear the available seat belt properly; and sit as far as possible from the airbag module, while still maintaining control of the vehicle.

Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) may be hot for several minutes after deployment, so do not touch! The airbags inflate only once. The windshield may be damaged by absorbing some of the force of the inflating airbag.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

81

CAUTION

The driver or front passenger who is 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.

D

If the seat belt extender has been connected to the driver’s seat belt buckle without the driver actually wearing the seat belt, the SRS driver’s airbag system will judge that the driver is wearing it. In this case, the driver’s airbag may not activate correctly, causing death or serious injury in the event of collision. Be sure to wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.

For instructions and precautions concerning the seating position, see

“—Front seat precautions” on page

48 in this Section.

CAUTION

A member of a passenger risk group should never sit or be occupied in the right front passenger seat with airbag off switch in the “AUTO” position. (For details, see “—SRS driver airbag and front passenger airbag” on

D

Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard when the vehicle is in use, since the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force.

Anyone who is up against, or very close to, an airbag when it inflates, can be killed or seriously injured.

Sit up straight and well back in the seat, and always use your seat belt properly.

D

Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seat of the vehicle and be properly restrained.

D

Do not hold a child on your lap or in your arms. Use a child restraint system in the seat. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see “Child

restraint” on page 115 in this Section.

D

Do not put anything or any part of your body on or in front of the dashboard or steering wheel pad that houses the front airbag system. They might restrict inflation or cause death or serious injury as they are projected rearward by the force of the deploying airbags. Likewise, the driver and front passenger should not hold objects in their arms or on their knees.

Do not modify or remove any wiring. Do not modify, remove, strike or open any components such as the steering wheel pad, steering wheel, column cover, dashboard near the front passenger airbag, front passenger airbag cover, front passenger airbag or airbag sensor assembly. Doing so may prevent the front airbag system from activating correctly, cause sudden activation of the system or disable the system, which could result in death or serious injury.

D

Do not modify or change the suspension system. Such changes may cause the driver airbag, front passenger airbag, seat belt pretensioners and curtain shield airbags to inflate accidentally, which could result in death or serious injury.

D

Do not use tires or wheels other than the manufacturer’s recommended size. Such a use may cause the driver airbag, front passenger airbag, seat belt pretensioners and curtain shield airbags to inflate accidentally, which could result in death or serious injury.

At this time a chemical reaction in the inflators very quickly fills the airbags with non − toxic gas to help restrain the forward motion of the occupants. The front airbags then quickly deflate, so that there is no obstruction of the driver’s vision should it be necessary to continue driving.

When the airbags inflate, they produce a loud noise and release some smoke and residue along with non − toxic gas. This does not indicate a fire. This smoke may remain inside the vehicle for some time, and may cause some minor irritation to the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin irritation with soap and water. If you can safely exit from the vehicle, you should do so immediately.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

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, primarily to the head and chest, it may also cause other, less severe injuries to the face, chest, arms and hands. These are usually in the nature of minor burns or abrasions and swelling, but the force of a deploying airbag can cause more serious injuries, especially if an occupant’s hands, arms, chest or head is in close proximity to the airbag module at the time of deployment. This is why it is important for the occupant to: avoid placing any object or part of the body between the occupant and the airbag module; sit straight and well back into the seat; wear the available seat belt properly; and sit as far as possible from the airbag module, while still maintaining control of the vehicle.

Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) may be hot for several minutes after deployment, so do not touch! The airbags inflate only once. The windshield may be damaged by absorbing some of the force of the inflating airbag.

CAUTION

The driver or front passenger who is 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.

D

If the seat belt extender has been connected to the driver’s seat belt buckle without the driver actually wearing the seat belt, the SRS driver’s airbag system will judge that the driver is wearing it. In this case, the driver’s airbag may not activate correctly, causing death or serious injury in the event of collision. Be sure to wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.

—SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags

XS13102

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) side airbags and curtain shield airbags are designed to provide further protection for the driver and all window−side passengers in addition to the primary safety protection provided by the seat belts.

In response to a severe side impact, the

SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags in the impacted side work with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflating. The SRS side airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s or right front passenger’s chest. The SRS curtain shield airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s and all window − side passenger’s head and help prevent them from being thrown out of the vehicle.

The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat will not activate if there is no passenger sitting in the right front passenger seat. However, the side airbag on the passenger seat may deploy if luggage is put in the seat. (As for the front passenger occupant classification system, see

“—Front passenger occupant classification

system” on page 110 in this Section.)

The SRS curtain shield airbag on the passenger side are activated even with no passenger in the front seat or rear outside seat.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

95

Roll sensing function:

In response to a vehicle rollover, the curtain shield airbags on both sides work with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflating. The curtain shield airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s, all window − side passenger’s head and help prevent them from being thrown out of the vehicle. (This function can be turned off if inflation is not desired. See

“—Roll sensing of curtain shield airbags

off switch” on page 114 in this Section.)

The SRS curtain shield airbags may activate even when the side airbags are not activated.

Always wear your seat belt properly.

CAUTION

D

The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system is designed only as a supplement to the primary protection of the driver, right front passenger and rear outside passenger seat belt systems. To ensure maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. Wearing a seat belt properly during an accident reduces the chances of death or serious injury or being thrown out of the vehicle. For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” on

page 66 in this Section.

D

Do not allow anyone to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat, front pillar, rear pillar or roof side rail from which the SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag deploy even if he/she is a child seated in the child restraint system.

It is dangerous if the SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag inflate, and the impact of the deploying airbag could cause death or serious injury to the occupant.

D

Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by the deploying airbags. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are the safest for infants and children.

For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see “Child restraint” on page

The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly.

In a severe side impact, the side and curtain shield airbag sensor and/or the curtain shield airbag sensor trigger(s) the side airbag inflators and/or the curtain shield airbag inflators. At this time a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non − toxic gas to help restrain the lateral motion of the occupants.

In a vehicle rollover, the airbag sensor assembly triggers the curtain shield airbag inflator. At this time, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non − toxic gas to help restrain the lateral 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 smoke may remain inside the vehicle for some time, and may cause some minor irritation to the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin irritation with soap and water. If you can safely exit from the vehicle, you should do so immediately.

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 swelling.

Front seats as well as parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rail may be hot for several minutes, but the airbags themselves will not be hot. The airbags are designed to inflate only once.

CAUTION

To avoid potential death or serious injury when the front passenger occupant classification system does not detect the conditions correctly, observe the following.

D

Make sure the passenger airbag on− off indicator light indicates “ON” when using the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the indicator light indicates “OFF”, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender after making sure the indicator light indicates “ON”. If you use the seat belt extender while the indicator light indicates

“OFF”, the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger side may not activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in the event of collision.

D

Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a backwall. This may cause the “OFF” indicator to be illuminated, which indicates that the passenger’s airbags will not deploy in the event of a severe accident. If the seatback touches the backwall, return the seatback to a position where it does not touch the backwall.

Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt system.

D

If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the passenger airbag on− off indicator light should indicate

“ON”. If the “OFF” indicator is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor and with the seat belt worn correctly. If the “OFF” indicator still remains illuminated, move the front passenger seat fully rearward.

D

Wear the seat belt properly.

D

Make sure the front passenger’s seat belt tab has not been left inserted in the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat.

D

Do not place a heavy load on the front passenger seat, etc.

D

Do not apply pressure to the front passenger seat by resting hands or legs on the seatback.

D

Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.

D

Do not attach any heavy items to the back of the front passenger seat.

D

When it is unavoidable to install the forward−facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat in the proper order. (As for the installation order, see “—Installation with seat

CAUTION

To avoid potential death or serious injury when the front passenger occupant classification system does not detect the conditions correctly, observe the following.

D

Make sure the passenger airbag on− off indicator light indicates “ON” when using the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the indicator light indicates “OFF”, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender after making sure the indicator light indicates “ON”. If you use the seat belt extender while the indicator light indicates

“OFF”, the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger side may not activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in the event of collision.

D

Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a rear seat. This may cause the

“OFF” indicator to be illuminated, which indicates that the passenger’s airbags will not deploy in the event of a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear seat return the seatback to a position where it does not touches the rear seat.

Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt system.

D

If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the passenger airbag on− off indicator light should indicate

“ON”. If the “OFF” indicator is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor and with the seat belt worn correctly. If the “OFF” indicator still remains illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is not possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward.

D

Wear the seat belt properly.

D

Make sure the front passenger’s seat belt tab has not been left inserted in the buckle before someone sits in the right front passenger seat.

D

Do not place a heavy load on the front passenger seat or the seatback table, etc.

D

Do not apply pressure to the front passenger seat by resting hands or legs on the seatback.

D

Do not let a rear passenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet or press on the seatback with their legs.

D

Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.

D

Do not attach a commercial seatback table or other heavy item to the back of the right front passenger seat.

D

Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the front seatbacks.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

113

D

When it is unavoidable to install the forward−facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the right front passenger seat in the proper order. (As for the installation order, see “—Installation with

seat belt” on page 128 in this Section.)

D

Do not modify or remove the front seats.

D

Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact.

Otherwise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the detection system. In this case, contact your Toyota dealer immediately.

The passenger airbag on − off indicator light may indicate “ON” (the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger seat may deploy) even if observing the above cautions, when a child sits in, or a forward − facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat. Refer to all the cautions in “—SRS driver airbag and front

passenger airbag” on page 87, “—SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags” on page 95 and “Child restraint” on page 115.

—Roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch

XS13029

The roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch (“RSCA OFF” switch) can turn off the curtain shield airbags and seat belt pretensioners in a vehicle rollover. This switch should only be used if inflation is not desired (such as extreme off−road driving).

114

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

When you push the “RSCA OFF” switch for a few seconds with the engine switch on, the “RSCA OFF” indicator light comes on and the roll sensing function is turned off. When you push the switch again, the indicator light goes off and the roll sensing function is turned on. (For details about the roll sensing function, see

“—SRS side airbags and curtain shield

airbags” on page 95 in this Section.)

In a severe side impact, the curtain shield airbags on impacted side will inflate even if the roll sensing function is turned off.

(For details about the curtain shield airbags, see “—SRS side airbags and curtain

shield airbags” on page 95 in this Section.)

In a severe frontal impact, the seat belt pretensioners will work even if the roll sensing function is turned off. (For details about the seat belt pretensioners, see

“—Seat belt pretensioners” on page 73 in this Section.)

If the engine switch is turned to “ACC” or

“LOCK” with the roll sensing function off and then the engine switch is turned back to “ON”, the roll sensing function will turn back on automatically.

CAUTION

D

Before normal driving, make sure the “RSCA OFF” indicator light is off.

D

When the roll sensing function is turned off (and the “RSCA OFF” indicator light is on), the curtain shield airbags and seat belt pretensioners will not work in a vehicle rollover. Turning off the curtain shield airbags and seat belt pretensioners reduces occupant protection which your vehicle safety systems can provide in accidents and increase the likelihood of death or serious injuries.

Child restraint—

—Child restraint precautions

Toyota strongly urges the use of appropriate child restraint systems for children.

The laws of all 50 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 rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt. See “Seat belts” on

page 66 in this Section for details.

CAUTION

D

For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

115

D

Regular cab models—

Toyota strongly urges use of a proper child restraint system which conforms to the size of the child.

Double cab and Crew Max models—

Toyota strongly urges use of a proper child restraint system which conforms to the size of the child, installed 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

Regular cab models—

Never put infant or child age 1 to

12 in a passenger risk group on the right front passenger seat with the passenger airbag off switch in the

“AUTO” position. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child.

If you must put infant or child age

1 to 12 in a passenger risk group on the right front seat, make sure that the passenger airbag off switch is in the “OFF” position with the key removed and that the indicator light is on. (For details, see “—SRS driver airbag and front passenger

airbag” on page 77 in this Section.)

D

Never install a rear−facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat even if the passenger airbag on−off indicator light indicates

“OFF”. In the event of an accident, the impact of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear−facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat.

D

A forward−facing child restraint system should be allowed to be installed on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable.

Always move the seat as far back as possible even if the passenger airbag on−off indicator light indicates “OFF”, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force.

Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.

D

Do not allow the child to lean his/ her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat, front or rear pillar or roof side rail from which the side airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbag and curtain shield airbag inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.

116

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

D

Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system on the front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of collision.

D

Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

—Child restraint system

A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. You must carefully consult the manufacturer’s instructions which accompany the child restraint system.

To provide proper restraint, use a child restraint system following the manufacturer’s instructions about the appropriate age and size of the child for the child restraint system.

Install the child restraint system correctly following the instructions provided by its manufacturer. General directions are also provided under the following illustrations.

The child restraint system should be installed in the rear seat if your vehicle is equipped with rear seats. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seat belt or place it somewhere other than the passenger compartment. This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

—Types of child restraint system

Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 types depending on the child’s age and size.

(A) Infant seat

(B) Convertible seat

(C) Booster seat

Install the child restraint system following the instructions provided by its manufacturer.

Your vehicle has anchor brackets for securing the top strap of a child restraint system.

For instructions about how to use the anchor bracket, see “—Using a top strap” on

page 139, 142 or 145 in this Section.

The child restraint lower anchorages approved for your vehicle may also be used. See “—Installation with child

restraint lower anchorages” on page 147,

(C) BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION

A booster seat must be used in forward−facing position only.

CAUTION

D

A forward−facing child restraint system should be allowed to be installed on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable.

Always move the seat as far back as possible even if the passenger airbag on−off indicator light indicates “OFF”, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force.

Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.

D

Do not allow the child to lean his/ her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat, front or rear pillar or roof side rail from which the side airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbag and curtain shield airbag inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.

Average fuel consumption is calculated and displayed based on total driving distance and total fuel consumption with the engine running.

The displayed value is updated every 10 seconds.

To reset the calculations, push and hold the “SELECT RESET” button for more than 2 seconds.

3. Instantaneous fuel consumption

(“Current Fuel Economy”)

The instantaneous fuel consumption is calculated and displayed based on distance and fuel consumption at 20 revolutions of the engine.

The displayed value is updated for a short time.

An accurate figure may not be shown if the vehicle is driving down a long slope, and engine brake is applied. (The display will indicate the extremely low fuel consumption.)

The display indicates 0 when the vehicle is stopped with the engine running.

The calculation is reset when the engine switch is turned off.

If the low fuel level warning light comes on, refuel the vehicle even if the display indicates that the vehicle can be driven further.

4. Driving range (“Distance To Empty”)

5. Driving time (“Trip Timer”)

The distance the vehicle can travel with the remaining fuel is calculated and displayed based on the quantity of remaining fuel and past fuel consumption.

The driving range display indicates the approximate distance that you can drive until the fuel gauge reaches “E”. It is different from the actual distance traveled.

To calculate the driving time, display the “Trip Timer” after the engine has been started. Then press the “SELECT

RESET” button. To stop the calculation, press the “SELECT RESET” button again.

Driving time is counted from 0:00:00. Up to 99:59:59 (99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds) can be displayed. When the driving time exceeds 99:59:59, the counter returns to 0:00:00.

The displayed value is updated every time the fuel equivalent for 1 mile or 1 km is consumed.

Every time you refuel the vehicle, the calculation is reset. However, when only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may not be reset.

If the engine switch is turned off while the driving time is being calculated, the calculation will cease. When the engine is next started, it will automatically resume from the previous value.

The actual driving range varies with driving habits and road conditions. If fuel consumption is good, the driving range will be longer than indicated. If fuel consumption is poor, the driving range will be shorter than indicated.

If the “SELECT RESET” button is pressed to cease the calculation and then the engine switch is turned off, the calculation will not resume when the engine is next started. In this case, press the “SELECT

RESET” button to start the calculation.

To reset the calculation, push and hold the “SELECT RESET” button for more than 2 seconds.

Engine (ignition) switch

XS17001a

“START”—Starter motor on. The key will return to the “ON” position when released.

For starting tips, see page 474 in Section

3.

“ON”—Engine on and all accessories on.

This is the normal driving position.

“ACC”—Accessories such as the radio operate, but the engine is off.

If you leave the engine switch in the

“ACC” or “LOCK” position and open the driver’s door, a buzzer will remind you to remove the key.

“LOCK”—Engine is off and the steering wheel is locked. The key can be removed only at this position.

You must push in the key to turn the engine switch from “ACC” to the “LOCK” position. The selector lever must be put in the “P” position before pushing the key.

Vehicles with engine immobilizer system—

Once you remove the key, the engine immobilizer system is automatically set. (See

“Engine immobilizer system” on page 21

in Section 1 − 2.)

When starting the engine, the engine switch may seem stuck at the “LOCK” position. To free it, first be sure the key is pushed all the way in, and then rock the steering wheel slightly while turning the key gently.

Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound coming from underneath the deck for several minutes. This is normal operation and does not indicate a malfunction. (See “Leak

detection pump” on page x.)

It is not a malfunction if the needles on all meters and gauges move slightly when the engine switch is turned to the “ACC”,

“ON” or “START” position.

210

NOTICE

Do not leave the engine switch in the

“ON” position if the engine is not running. The battery will discharge and the ignition could be damaged.

Shift with the brake pedal depressed. (The engine switch must be in “ON” position.)

Shift normally.

To select “S” or “D”, lean the selector lever leftward or rightward.

Selector lever

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 engine switch in “ON” position).

(b) Normal driving

1. Start the engine as instructed in “How

to start the engine” on page 474 in

Section 3. The transmission must be in

“P” or “N”.

When the front drive control switch knob is in “4L” (low − speed position, four − wheel drive), the driving pattern selector setting has no effect on gear shift timing. (See

“Four −

wheel drive system” on page 240 in this Section for information of the front drive control lever.)

2. With your foot holding down the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to “D”.

When the lever is in the “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 use the “D” position for better fuel economy and quieter driving. If the engine coolant temperature is low or when the front drive control switch knob is in “4L”

(low − speed position, four − wheel drive), the transmission will not shift into the overdrive gear even in the “D” position. (See

“Four −

wheel drive system” on page 240 in this Section for information of the front drive control.)

212

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.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) shifting control—

AI shifting control selects the most suitable shift range automatically according to the driver’s operation and driving condition.

AI shifting control operates automatically with the selector lever in the “D” position. When the lever is moved to the “S” position, this function will be cancelled.

D

Shifting control on the slope:

On inclines, you can drive smoothly with reduced shifting quantity. On declines, the vehicle will shift down automatically to obtain optimum engine braking and reduce the driver’s foot braking load.

D

Automatic shifting point change control:

The most suitable shift range is selected depending on the driver’s accelerator pedal operation and vehicle condition.

(c) Driving in “S” mode

The shift range position can be changed in “S” mode. When the selector lever is in the “S” position, the shift range position can be switched between “5” (fifth range) and “1” (first range) by shifting the selector lever to the “+” (up) or “−” (down) position. By shifting the lever to the “+” (up) position and holding it for at least 1 second, the highest shift range position can be obtained. However, it cannot be changed while cruise control is activated. When the selector lever is shifted to the “S” position, shift range position “4” (fourth range) is selected automatically.

However, if the selector lever is shifted to the “S” position when AI shifting control is being performed, the initial shift range position may be “3” (third range). This is because the suitable shift range is selected depending on the driving condition.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

The “S” mode indicator light and the current shift range position are shown on the instrument cluster.

D If the transmission repeatedly shifts up and down between fourth gear and overdrive when climbing a gentle slope, shift the selector lever into “S” position.

D When towing a trailer, in order to maintain engine braking efficiency, do not use the transmission in “D”. Select an appropriate shift range in “S” mode.

CAUTION

Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.

NOTICE

Always use the brake pedal or the parking brake to hold the vehicle on an upgrade. Do not attempt to hold the vehicle using the accelerator pedal, as this can cause the transmission to overheat.

(h) If you cannot shift the selector lever out of “P” position

If you cannot shift the selector lever from the “P” position even though the brake pedal is depressed, use the shift lock override button. For instructions, see “If you cannot shift automatic transmission

selector lever” on page 522 in Section 4.

(i) “TOW/HAUL” switch

(on some models)

Use “TOW/HAUL” mode when pulling a trailer or hauling a heavy load. In this mode, the driving and engine braking performance is improved in accordance with towing conditions or increased load.

To turn on: Push “TOW/HAUL” switch

“TOW/HAUL” mode is activated and

“TOW/HAUL” mode indicator light comes on by pressing “TOW/HAUL” switch.

224

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

To turn off: Push “TOW/HAUL” switch once again and the “TOW/HAUL” mode indicator light goes off.

“TOW/HAUL” mode is canceled by pressing “TOW/HAUL” switch again or by turning the engine switch to “OFF”.

Even when “TOW/HAUL” mode is used during normal driving, no damage is caused to the engine or the transmission.

However, fuel economy is reduced and the transmission and/or engine driving characteristics may feel unusual.

Toyota recommends using “TOW/HAUL” mode only when a heavy trailer or a large heavy load is towed.

Shift normally.

To select “S” or “D”, pull the lever toward you and shift down. Shift the lever up and push outward.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

(b) Normal driving

1. Start the engine as instructed in “How

to start the engine” on page 474 in

Section 3. The transmission must be in

“P” or “N”.

When the front drive control switch knob is in “4L” (low − speed position, four − wheel drive), the driving pattern selector setting has no effect on gear shift timing. (See

“Four −

wheel drive system” on page 240 in this Section for information of the front drive control lever.)

2. With your foot holding down the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to “D”.

When the lever is in the “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 use the “D” position for better fuel economy and quieter driving. If the engine coolant temperature is low or when the front drive control switch knob is in “4L”

(low − speed position, four − wheel drive), the transmission will not shift into the overdrive gear even in the “D” position. (See

“Four −

wheel drive system” on page 240 in this Section for information of the front drive control.)

CAUTION

Never put your foot on the accelerator pedal while shifting.

D

Automatic shifting point change control:

The most suitable shift range is selected depending on the driver’s accelerator pedal operation and vehicle condition.

3. Release the parking brake and brake pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal slowly for smooth starting.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) shifting control—

AI shifting control selects the most suitable shift range automatically according to the driver’s operation and driving condition.

AI shifting control operates automatically with the selector lever in the “D” position. When the lever is moved to the “S” position, this function will be cancelled.

D

Shifting control on the slope:

On inclines, you can drive smoothly with reduced shifting quantity. On declines, the vehicle will shift down automatically to obtain optimum engine braking and reduce the driver’s foot braking load.

(c) Driving in “S” mode

The shift range position can be changed in “S” mode. When the selector lever is in the “S” position, the shift range position can be switched between “5” (fifth range) and “1” (first range) by turning the “S” mode switch of the selector lever to the “+” (up) or

“−” (down) direction. By turning the

“S” mode switch to the “+” (up) direction and holding it for at least 1 second, the highest shift range position can be obtained. However, it cannot be changed while cruise control is activated. When the selector lever is shifted to the “S” position, shift range position “4” (fourth range) is selected automatically.

However, if the selector lever is shifted to the “S” position when AI shifting control is being performed, the initial shift range position may be “3” (third range). This is because the suitable shift range is selected depending on the driving condition.

If there is any malfunction in the brake system or the engine, “4HI” or “4LO” indicator light blinks and the transfer mode may not be able to be shifted from “4H” to “4L”.

If the indicator continues to blink even if doing so, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. There may be a trouble in the four − wheel drive system.

Traction control system

The traction control system automatically helps prevent the spinning of the rear wheels (two−wheel drive models) or 4 wheels (four−wheel drive models) when the vehicle is started or accelerated on slippery road surfaces.

When the engine switch is turned to the

“ON” position, the system automatically turns on.

CAUTION

Under certain slippery road conditions, full traction of the vehicle and power to the rear wheels (two−wheel drive models) or 4 wheels (four−wheel drive models) cannot be maintained, even though the traction control system is in operation. Do not drive the vehicle at any speed or in maneuvering conditions which may cause the vehicle to lose traction control. In situations where the road surface is covered with ice or snow, your vehicle should be fitted with snow tires or tire chains. Always drive at an appropriate and cautious speed for the present road conditions.

Vehicle stability control system (two−wheel drive mode only)

The vehicle stability control system helps provide integrated control of systems such as the anti−lock brake system, traction control, engine control, etc. This system automatically controls the output of the brakes or engine to help prevent the vehicle from skidding when cornering on a slippery road surface or when the steering wheel is operated abruptly.

The vehicle stability control system is activated when the vehicle speed is more than 15 km/h (9 mph).

You may hear a sound in the engine compartment for a few seconds when the engine is started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This means that the system is in self − check mode, but does not indicate a malfunction.

CAUTION

D

Do not rely excessively on the vehicle stability control system. Even if the vehicle stability control system is operating, you must always drive carefully and attentively to avoid serious injury. Reckless driving will result in an unexpected accident. If the slip indicator light blinks and an alarm sounds, special care should be taken while driving.

D

Only use tires of specified size. The size, manufacturer, brand and tread pattern for all 4 tires should be the same. If you use the tires other than specified, or different type or size, the vehicle stability control system may not function correctly.

The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes such as natural air leaks or tire inflation pressure changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the light after several minutes.

Pushing the tire pressure warning reset switch should not turn off the tire pressure warning light. Adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the light.

The temporary spare tire is not equipped with the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the warning light will not turn off even though the flat tire is replaced with the temporary spare tire. Replace the temporary spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the proper tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will turn off after several minutes.

CAUTION

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label

(tire and load information label), you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS− tire pressure warning system) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale

(tire pressure warning light) when one or more of your tires is significantly under−inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under−inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under−inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under−inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the

TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light).

256

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start−ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.

TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to continue to function properly.

NOTICE z

Do not use liquid sealants for a flat tire as tire pressure warning valve and transmitter will be damaged.

z

When the tires must be repaired or replaced, have them repaired or replaced by the nearest Toyota dealer or an authorized tire dealer. The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters will be affected by the installation or removal of tires.

TIRE PRESSURE WARNING RESET

SWITCH

When initializing the system, the present tire inflation pressure is stored as standard. The tire pressure warning system determines decreased air pressure by comparing the present and the standard tire inflation pressures. When you change the set tire inflation pressure, it is necessary to initialize the tire pressure warning system.

D When rotating the tires on vehicles differing with front and rear tire inflation pressures.

D When changing the tire inflation pressure according to the instruction for traveling speed, load weight or tire size.

To initialize the system, perform the following:

1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or

“LOCK” position.

2. Adjust the pressure of all the installed tires to the specified cold tire inflation pressure level. (See “Tires” on page

594 in Section 8.)

3. Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position.

4. Push and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch until the tire pressure warning light blinks slowly three times.

5. Wait for several minutes with the engine switch “ON”, and then turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.

If you push the tire pressure warning reset switch while the vehicle is moving, initialization is not performed.

If you push the tire pressure warning reset switch accidentally and initialization is performed, adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified level and initialize the system again.

When parking, firmly apply the parking brake to avoid inadvertent creeping.

To set: Fully depress the parking brake pedal. For better holding power, first depress the brake pedal and hold it while setting the parking brake.

To release: Depress the parking brake pedal once again.

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 is designed to maintain a set cruising speed without requiring the driver to operate the accelerator. Cruising speed can be set to any speed above 40 km/h (25 mph).

Within the limits of the engine’s capabilities, cruising speed can be maintained up or down grades. However, changes in vehicle speed may occur on steeper grades.

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

Be careful about vehicle speed as it may increase when driving downhill with the cruise control on.

XS17022

TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF

To turn the cruise control on, press the

“ON − OFF” button. The “CRUISE” indicator light on the instrument panel will come on to indicate that the cruise control is operational. Pressing the “ON − OFF” button again turns the system off.

When the system is turned off, cruising speed must be reset when the cruise control is turned on again.

When the engine switch is turned off, the system is also automatically turned off. To use the cruise control again, press the

“ON − OFF” button again to turn it on.

262

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

CAUTION

To avoid accidentally engaging the cruise control, turn the system off when it is not in use. Make sure the

“CRUISE” indicator light is off.

XS17023

SETTING THE CRUISING SPEED

5 − speed models—The transmission must be in the “D” position or the shift range position must be in “4” (fourth range) or

“5” (fifth range) in “S” mode before you set the cruising speed.

6 − speed models—The transmission must be in the “D” position or the shift range position must be in between “4” (fourth range) and “6” (sixth range) in “S” position before you set the cruising speed.

Bring your vehicle to the desired speed, push the lever down in the “ − SET” 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 acceleration—for example, when passing—depress 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.

CANCELLING THE CRUISE CONTROL

The cruise control may be temporarily cancelled by the driver or by the system itself under certain circumstances. Temporary cancellation allows the set cruising speed to remain in memory.

The cruise control can be temporarily cancelled by doing the following:

D Pulling the lever in the “CANCEL” direction and releasing it

D Depressing the brake pedal

Under certain circumstances, the cruise control is temporarily cancelled:

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

263

D When vehicle speed falls below 40 km/h (25 mph)

D When vehicle stability control is activated

When vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10 mph) below the set speed, the cruise control is cancelled and the set speed is erased from memory.

The “CRUISE” indicator light remains on to indicate that the system is still in operation.

To turn the cruise control off, press the

“ON − OFF” button. Make sure the

“CRUISE” indicator light is off.

If the cruise control automatically cancels out other than for the above cases, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer at the earliest opportunity.

RESUMING THE CRUISE CONTROL

If the cruise control is temporarily cancelled, the cruising speed can be resumed by pushing the lever up in the “+ RES” direction.

Vehicle speed must be above 40 km/h (25 mph).

RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED

Push the lever up in the “+RES” 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” direction.

RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED

Push the lever down in the “ − SET” 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” direction.

Even if you downshift from “D” to “S” with the cruise control on, engine braking will not be enabled 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.

CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING

If the “CRUISE” indicator light flashes when using the cruise control, press the

“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.

RADIO RECEPTION

Usually, a problem with radio reception does not mean there is a problem with your radio—it is just the normal result of conditions outside the vehicle.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

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. 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 stations—Generally, 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 − path—FM 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 fluttering—These occur when signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or other large objects. Increasing the bass level may reduce static and fluttering.

Station swapping—If 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.

AM

Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by the upper atmosphere—especially 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 interference—When 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.

Static—AM is easily affected by external sources of electrical noise, such as high tension power lines, lightening, or electrical motors. This results in static.

XM r

Alternation or modifications carried out without appropriate authorization may invalidate the user’s right to operate the equipment.

∗ : Use of satellite radio requires XM r tuner and service. Contact your Toyota dealer for details.

D MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and WMA

(Windows Media Audio) are audio compression standards.

D The MP3/WMA player can play MP3 and WMA files on CD − ROM, CD − R and

CD − RW discs.

The unit can play disc recordings compatible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level

2 and with the Romeo and Joliet file system.

D When naming an MP3 or WMA file, add the appropriate file extension (.mp3

or .wma).

D The MP3/WMA player plays back files with .mp3 or .wma file extensions as

MP3 or WMA files. To prevent noise and playback errors, use the appropriate file extensions.

D Multi − session compatible CDs can also be played.

D MP3 files are compatible with the ID3

Tag Ver.1.0, Ver.1.1 and Ver.2.2, and

Ver. 2.3 formats. The unit cannot display disc title, track title and artist name in other formats.

D WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA tags carry information such as track title, artist name.

D The emphasis function is available only when playing MP3/WMA files recorded at 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz. (The system can play MP3 files with sampling frequencies of 16, 22.05, and 24 kHz.

However, the emphasis function is not available for files recorded at these frequencies.)

D The sound quality of MP3/WMA files generally improves with higher bit rates. In order to achieve a reasonable level of sound quality, discs recorded with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps are recommended.

Playable bit rates

MP3 files:

MPEG1 LAYER3—64 to 320 kbps

MPEG2 LSF LAYER3—64 to 160 kbps

WMA files:

Ver7, 8 CBR—48 to 192 kbps

Ver9 CBR—48 to 320 kbps

D The MP3/WMA player does not play back MP3/WMA files from discs recorder using packet write data transfer

(UDF format). Discs should be recorded using “pre − mastering” software rather than packet − write software.

D M3u playlists are not compatible with the audio player.

D MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO formats are not compatible with the audio player.

D The MP3 player is compatible with

VBR (Variable Bit Rate).

D When playing back files recorded as

VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time will not be correctly displayed if fast − forward or reverse operations are used.

D It is not possible to check folders that do not include MP3/WMA files.

D MP3/WMA files in folders up to 8 levels deep can be played. However, the start of playback may be delayed when using discs containing numerous levels of folders. For this reason, we recommend creating discs with no more than two levels of folders.

D It is possible to play up to 192 folders or 255 files on one disc.

TERMS

Packet write—

This is a general term that describes the process of writing data on − demand to

CD − R, etc., in the same way that data is written to floppy or hard discs.

ID3 Tag—

This is a method of embedding track − related information in an MP3 file. This embedded information can include the track title, the artist’s name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, comments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 tag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted to the number of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back.

WMA Tag—

WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is used in the same way as an ID3 tag.

WMA tags carry information such as track title, artist name.

ISO 9660 format—

This is the international standard for the formatting of CD − ROM folders and files.

For the ISO 9660 format, there are two levels of regulations.

Level 1:

The file name is in 8.3 format (8 character file names, with a 3 character file extension. File names must be composed of one − byte capital letters and numbers. The

“_” symbol may also be included.)

Level 2:

The file name can have up to 31 characters (including the separation mark “.” and file extension). Each folder must contain fewer than 8 hierarchies.

m3u—

Playlists created using “WINAMP” software have a playlist file extension (.m3u).

MP3—

MP3 is an audio compression standard determined by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Standard Organization). MP3 compresses audio data to about 1/10 the size of that on conventional discs.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

—Operating tips

D To cool off your Toyota after it has been parked in the hot sun, drive with the windows open long enough for the hot air to escape. This operation allows the air conditioning to cool the interior more quickly.

D Make sure the air intake grilles in front of the windshield are not blocked (by leaves or snow, for example).

D On humid days, do not blow cold air on the windshield. The windshield could fog up because of the difference in air temperature on the inside and outside of the windshield.

D Keep the area under the front seats clear to allow air to circulate throughout the vehicle.

D On cold days, set the fan speed to high for a minute to help clear the intake ducts of snow or moisture. This can reduce the amount of fogging on the windows.

D When driving on dusty roads, close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake selector be set to

FRESH and the fan speed selector to any setting except “OFF”.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

D If following another vehicle on a dusty road, or driving in windy and dusty conditions, it is recommended that the air intake selector be temporarily set to

RECIRCULATE, which will close off the outside passage and prevent outside air and dust from entering the vehicle interior.

Off−road vehicle precautions

442

XS20003

This vehicle has higher ground clearance and narrower tread in relation to the height of its center of gravity to make it capable of performing in a wide variety of off−road applications. Specific design characteristics give it a higher center of gravity than ordinary passenger cars. This vehicle design feature causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to rollover. And, it has a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you to anticipate problems. It is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordinary passenger cars any more than low−slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off−road conditions. Therefore, sharp turns at excessive speeds may cause rollover.

CAUTION

Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of serious personal injury or damage to your vehicle:

D

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers should fasten their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving.

D

Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all possible. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury.

D

Avoid loading any items on the roof that will raise the vehicle’s center of gravity.

D

Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of its profile and higher 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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

D

When driving off−road or in rugged terrain, do not drive at excessive speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike objects, etc. This may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. You are also risking expensive damage to your vehicle’s suspension and chassis.

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.

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 Avoid full throttle acceleration when starting and driving.

D Avoid racing the engine.

D Try to avoid hard stops during the first

300 km (200 miles).

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).

Fuel

FUEL TYPE

Your new vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline.

To help prevent gas station mix − ups, your

Toyota has a 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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

443

OCTANE RATING

Select Octane Rating 87 (Research

Octane Number 91) or higher.

Use of unleaded gasoline with an Octane

Rating lower than 87 may result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can 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, occasionally, you may notice light knocking for a short time while accelerating or driving up hills. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

GASOLINE CONTAINING DETERGENT

ADDITIVES

Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to avoid build−up of engine deposits.

However, all gasoline sold in the U.S.

contains detergent additives to keep clean and/or clean intake systems.

QUALITY GASOLINE

Automotive manufacturers in the U.S.,

Europe and Japan have developed a specification for quality fuel named

World−Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) that is expected to be applied world wide.

The WWFC consists of four categories that depend on required emission levels. In the U.S., category 3 or 4 has been adopted. The WWFC improves air quality by providing for better emissions in vehicle fleets, and customer satisfaction through better vehicle performance.

CLEANER BURNING GASOLINE

Cleaner burning gasoline, including reformulated gasoline that contains oxygenates such as ethanol or MTBE is available in many areas.

Toyota recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriately blended reformulated gasoline. These types of gasoline provide excellent vehicle performance, reduce vehicle emissions, and improve air quality.

OXYGENATES IN GASOLINE

Toyota allows the use of oxygenate blended gasoline where the oxygenate content is up to 10% ethanol or 15%

MTBE. If you use gasohol in your

Toyota, be sure that it has an octane rating no lower than 87.

Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.

444

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

GASOLINE CONTAINING MMT

Some gasoline contain an octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).

Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel containing MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely affected.

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this happens, contact your Toyota dealer for service.

GASOLINE 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 this does not rectify your problem, then consult your

Toyota dealer.

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.)

Fuel pump shut off system

The fuel pump shut off system stops supplying fuel to the engine to minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or an airbag inflates upon collision. To restart the engine after the fuel pump shut off system activates, turn the engine switch to “ACC” or “LOCK” once and start it.

CAUTION

Inspect the ground under the vehicle before restarting the engine. If you find that fuel has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system has been damaged and is in need of repair. In this case, do not restart the engine.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

445

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

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 idle or park your vehicle over anything that might burn easily such as grass, leaves, paper or rags.

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 engine switch while the vehicle is moving.

446

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

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 “Scheduled

Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s

Manual Supplement”.

Engine exhaust cautions

CAUTION

D

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO) that is colorless and odorless. Inhaling exhaust gases may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

D

The exhaust should be checked occasionally. If there is a hole or crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your

Toyota dealer. Failure to do so may allow exhaust gases to enter the vehicle, resulting in death or a serious health hazard.

D

If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area, turn the engine off. In a closed area, such as a garage, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

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.

D

Keep the back window closed while driving. An open or unsealed back window may cause exhaust gases to be drawn into the vehicle.

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 the smell of exhaust is noticed inside the vehicle, open the windows. Large amounts of exhaust in the vehicle can cause driver drowsiness and an accident, resulting in death or a serious health hazard.

Have the vehicle inspected by your

Toyota dealer immediately.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

447

D

Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build−up, or where it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

D

When taking a nap in the vehicle, always turn the engine off. Otherwise, you may accidentally move the shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, which could cause an accident or fire due to engine overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.

448

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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

Iridium−tipped spark plugs [4.7

L V8 (2UZ−FE) engine]

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.

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” on

page 548 in Section 7

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 increase. 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.

Your engine is fitted with long reach iridium−tipped spark plugs.

NOTICE

Use only iridium−tipped spark plugs.

Do not adjust gaps for engine performance smooth driveability.

For details about the spark plug type, see

“Service specifications” on page 589 in

Section 8.

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 reserved vacuum for one or two stops—but no more!

CAUTION

D

Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls. Each push on the pedal uses up your reserved vacuum.

D

Even if the power assist is completely lost, the brakes will still work. But you will have to push the pedal hard, much harder than normal. And your braking distance will increase.

The anti−lock brake system is designed to help prevent lock−up of the wheels during a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. This assists in providing directional stability and steering performance of the vehicle under these circumstances.

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. This will result in reduced braking performance.

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).

Depressing the brake pedal on slippery road surfaces such as on a manhole cover, a steel plate at a construction site, joints in a bridge, etc. on a rainy day tends to activate the anti − lock brake system.

You may hear a click or motor sound in the engine compartment for a few seconds when the engine is started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This means that the anti − lock brake system is in the self − check mode, and does not indicate a malfunction.

When the anti−lock brake system is activated, the following conditions may occur. They do not indicate a malfunction of the system:

D You may hear the anti − lock brake system operating and feel the brake pedal pulsating and the vibrations of the vehicle body and steering wheel. You may also hear the motor sound in the engine compartment even after the vehicle is stopped.

D At the end of the anti − lock brake system activation, the brake pedal may move a little forward.

CAUTION

Do not overestimate the anti−lock brake system: Although the anti−lock brake system assists in providing vehicle control, it is still important to drive with all due care and maintain a moderate speed and safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, because there are limits to the vehicle stability and effectiveness of steering wheel operation even with the anti− lock brake system on.

If tire grip performance exceeds its capability, or if hydroplaning occurs during high speed driving in the rain, the anti−lock brake system does not provide vehicle control.

Anti−lock brake system is not designed to shorten the stopping distance: Always drive at a moderate speed and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.

Compared with vehicles without 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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

451

D

Driving with tire chains installed.

D

Driving over the steps such as the joints on the road.

D

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

Install all 4 tires of specified size at appropriate pressure: The anti−lock brake system detects vehicle speeds using the speed sensors for respective wheels’ turning speeds. The use of tires other than specified may fail to detect the accurate turning speed resulting in a longer stopping distance.

“ABS” warning light

The light comes on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position. If the anti − lock brake system and the brake assist system work properly, the light turns off after a few seconds. Thereafter, if either of the systems malfunctions, the light comes on again.

When the “ABS” warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the following systems do not operate, but the brake system still operates conventionally.

D Anti − lock brake system

D Brake assist system

D Traction control system

D “AUTO LSD” system

D Vehicle stability control system

When the “ABS” warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the anti − lock brake system does not operate so that the wheels will lock up during a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the components 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 when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position, or remains on.

D The light comes on while you are driving.

A warning light turning on briefly during operation does not indicate a problem.

CAUTION

If the “ABS” warning light remains on together with the brake system warning light, immediately stop your vehicle at a safe place and contact your

Toyota dealer.

In this case, not only the anti−lock brake system will fail but also the vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking.

DRUM−IN−DISC TYPE PARKING BRAKE

SYSTEM

Your vehicle has a drum − in − disc type parking brake system. This type of brake system needs burnishing of the brake shoes periodically or whenever the parking brake shoes and/or drums are replaced.

Have your Toyota dealer perform the burnishing.

BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM

When you slam the brakes on, the brake assist system judges as an emergency stop and provides more powerful braking for a driver who cannot hold down the brake pedal firmly.

When you slam the brakes on, more powerful braking will be applied. At this time, you may hear a sound in the engine compartment and feel the vibrations of the brake pedal. This does not indicate a malfunction.

The brake assist 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).

For an explanation of this system’s warning light, see “Service reminder indicators

and warning buzzers” on page 197 in Sec-

tion 1 − 6.

Theft prevention labels

Your new vehicle carries theft prevention labels which are approximately 47 mm (1.85 in.) by 12 mm (0.47 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.

—Uniform tire quality grading

This information has been prepared in accordance with regulations issued by the 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 grades—All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Treadwear

200 Traction AA Temperature A

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.

460

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

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.

Vehicle load limits

Vehicle load limits include total load capacity, seating capacity, towing capacity and cargo capacity. Follow the load limits shown below. Total load capacity and seating capacity are also described on the tire and loading information label. For location of the tire and loading information label, see “Checking tire inflation

pressure” on page 553.

Total load capacity:

Total load capacity means combined weight of occupants, cargo and luggage. Tongue load is included when trailer towing. For the total load capacity about your vehicle, see

“Vehicle capacity weight” on page 580

in Section 8.

Seating capacity:

Regular cab models

With separate seats

Total 2

With bench seats

Total 3

Double cab and Crew Max models

With separate seats

Total 5 (Front 2, Rear 3)

With bench seats

Total 6 (Front 3, Rear 3)

Seating capacity means the maximum number of occupants whose estimated average weight is 68 kg (150 lb.) per person. Depending on the weight of each person, the seating capacity given may exceed the total load capacity.

NOTICE

Even if the number of occupants are within the seating capacity, do not exceed the total load capacity.

Towing capacity:

Towing capacity means the maximum allowable gross trailer weight (trailer weight plus its cargo weight) that your vehicle is able to tow. For the towing capacity about your vehicle, see

“Towing capacity” on page 586 in Sec-

tion 8.

Cargo capacity

Cargo capacity may increase or decrease depending on the size (weight) and the number of occupants. For details, see “Capacity and distribution” that follows.

CAUTION

Do not apply the load more than each load limit. That may cause not only damage to the tires, but also deterioration to the steering ability and braking ability, which may cause an accident.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

469

Cargo and luggage—

—Stowage precautions

When stowing cargo and luggage in the vehicle, observe the following:

D Put cargo and luggage 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 cargo and luggage from sliding forward during braking, do not stack anything behind the front seats higher than the seatbacks. Keep cargo and luggage low, as close to the floor as possible.

470

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 death or 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.

—Capacity and distribution

Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants.

(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) – (Total weight of occupants)

Steps for Determining Correct

Load Limit—

(1) Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed

XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.

(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.

(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from

XXX kg or XXX lbs.

(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals

1400 lbs. and there will be five

150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400–750

(5x150)=650 lbs.)

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.

(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.

Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

For details about trailer towing, see

“Trailer towing” on page 481 in Sec-

tion 3.

SU21020

Cargo capacity

Total load capacity

As shown in the above example, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo and luggage load equaling the combined weight of occupants who got on later must be reduced. In other words, if the increase in the number of occupants causes the excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load), you have to reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle.

For details about total load capacity,

see “Vehicle load limits” on page 469 in this Section.

Example on Your Vehicle

In case that 2 people with the combined weight of A kg (lb.) are riding in your vehicle with the total load capacity of B kg (lb.), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be C kg (lb.) as follows:

B kg (lb.) – A kg (lb.) = C kg (lb.)

From this condition, if 3 more passengers with the combined weight of D kg (lb.) get on, the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced E kg (lb.) as follows:

C kg (lb.) – D kg (lb.) = E kg (lb.)

Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. That may cause not only damage to the tire but also deterioration to the steering ability due to unbalance of the vehicle, causing an accident.

CAUTION

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

471

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.

The details about how to distinguish summer tires from all season tires are

described on page 457.

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 manufacture’s designated tires, and never mix tires or wheels of the sizes different from the originals.

How to start the engine—

—Cranking hold function

Once you turn the engine switch to the

“START” position and release it, the cranking hold function continues to crank the engine in “ON” position until it starts.

The function stops cranking the engine after about 25 seconds maximum if the engine has not started yet. When you crank the engine again, wait a few seconds and restart it.

If you hold the engine switch in “START” position, the function will keep cranking for about 30 seconds maximum.

(a) Before cranking

1. Apply the parking brake firmly.

2. Turn off unnecessary lights and accessories.

3. Put the selector lever in “P”. If you need to restart the engine while the vehicle is moving, put the selector lever in “N”. A starter safety device will prevent the starter from operating if the selector lever is in any drive position.

4. Depress the brake pedal and hold it to the floor until driving off.

(b) Starting the engine

Before starting the engine, be sure to follow the instructions in “(a) Before cranking”.

Normal starting procedure

The multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system in your engine automatically controls the proper air − fuel mixture for starting. You can start a cold or hot engine as follows:

With your foot off the accelerator pedal, crank the engine by turning the engine switch to the “START” position. Release it when the engine starts.

Engine should be warmed up by driving, not in idle. For warming up, drive with smoothly turning engine until engine coolant temperature is within normal range.

If the engine stalls...

Simply restart it, using the correct procedure given in normal starting.

If the engine will not start...

See “If your vehicle will not start” on page

498 in Section 4.

NOTICE z

Do not crank for more than 30 seconds at a time. This may overheat the starter and wiring systems.

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 such as a tire burst.

Drive slowly when passing over bumps or travelling on a bumpy road. Otherwise, the impact could cause severe damage to the tires and/or wheels.

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”. If necessary, block the wheels.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

475

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.

D Four − wheel drive models—Toyota 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 models—In 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 brake system warning light

(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 skid or spin.

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.

476

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

Driving in the rain

Driving on a slippery road surface

Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the windows may become fogged − up, and the road will be slippery.

D Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be especially slippery.

D Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain, because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.

CAUTION

D

Sudden braking, acceleration and steering when driving on a slippery road surface may cause tire slippage and reduce your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident.

D

Sudden changes in engine speed, such as sudden engine braking, may cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident.

D

After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make sure that the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent the brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected, resulting in an accident.

When encountering flooded roads

Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may cause serious damage to the vehicle.

NOTICE

Driving on a flooded road may cause the engine to stall as well as cause serious vehicle malfunctions such as shorts in electrical components and engine damage from water immersion.

In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be sure to have your Toyota dealer check brake function, changes in quantity and quality of oil and fluid used for the engine, transmission, transfer (4WD vehicles), differentials, etc. and lubricant condition for the propeller shaft, bearings and suspension joints (where possible) and the function of all joints and bearings.

Off−road driving precautions

When driving your vehicle off − road, please observe the following precautions to ensure your driving enjoyment and to help prevent the closure of areas to off − road vehicles.

a. Drive your vehicle only in areas where off − road vehicles are permitted to travel.

b. Respect private property. Get owner’s permission before entering private property.

c. Do not enter areas that are closed.

Honor gates, barriers and signs that restrict travel.

d. Stay on established roads. When conditions are wet, driving techniques should be changed or travel delayed to prevent damage to roads.

For owners in U.S. mainland, Hawaii and

Puerto Rico:

To obtain additional information pertaining to driving your vehicle off − road, consult the following organizations.

D State and Local Parks and Recreation

Departments

D State Motor Vehicle Bureau

D Recreational Vehicle Clubs

478

D U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of

Land Management

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

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers should fasten their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving.

D

When driving off−road or in rugged terrain, do not drive at excessive speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike objects, etc. This may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. You are also risking expensive damage to your vehicle’s suspension and chassis.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

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.

z

Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage.

z

Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deterioration in shift quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ultimately damage.

z

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.

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 “Scheduled

Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s

Manual Supplement”.

Winter driving tips

Make sure your coolant is properly protected against freezing.

Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non − silicate, non − amine, non − nitrite, and non − borate coolant with long − life hybrid organic acid technology. (Coolant with long − life hybrid organic acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids.)

See “Checking the engine coolant level”

on page 551 in Section 7

− 2 for details of coolant type selection.

For the U.S.A.—“Toyota Super Long Life

Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and

50% deionized water. This coolant provides protection down to about − 35 _ C

( − 31 _ F).

For Canada—“Toyota Super Long Life

Coolant” is a mixture of 55% coolant and

45% deionized water. This coolant provides protection down to about − 42 _ C

( − 44 _ F).

NOTICE

Do not use plain water alone.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

479

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. Section 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 page 549 in Section 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 dealer—they 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 anti− freeze 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.

480

Dinghy towing

NOTICE

Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute because it may damage your vehicle’s paint.

Do not use your parking brake when there is a possibility it could freeze.

When parking, put the transmission into

“P” 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.

XS30007

Your vehicle is not designed to be dinghy towed (with four wheels on the ground) behind a motorhome.

NOTICE

Do not tow your vehicle with four wheels on the ground. This may cause serious damage to your vehicle.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

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.

NOTICE

When towing a trailer, be sure to consult your Toyota dealer for further information on additional requirements such as a towing kit, etc.

CAUTION

To tow a trailer safely, use extreme care and drive the vehicle in accordance with the trailer’s characteristics and operating conditions.

The vehicle stability and braking performance are affected by trailer stability, brake setting and performance, and the hitch.

Follow all the instructions described in this section. Failure to do so could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

WEIGHT LIMITS

Before towing, make sure the gross trailer weight, gross combination weight, gross vehicle weight, gross axle weight and trailer tongue load are all within the limits.

The gross trailer weight and tongue load can be measured with platform scales found at a highway weighing station, building supply company, trucking company, junk yard, etc.

CAUTION

D

A recommended tongue load or king pin weight varies in accordance with the types of trailers or towing as described below.

D

In order to ensure the recommended values shown below, the trailer must be loaded by referring to the following instructions.

1. Conventional Towing

The tongue load is 9 to 11 % of the Gross Trailer weight.

If the gross trailer weight is over

907 kg (2000 lbs), it is necessary to use a sway control device with sufficient capacity.

If the gross trailer weight is over

2268 kg (5000 lbs), it is necessary to use a weight distributing hitch with sufficient capacity.

If using a weight distributing hitch when towing, keep your vehicle level with the ground.

2. Fifth wheel Towing

The king pin weight is 15 to 25

% of the Gross Trailer weight.

Current fifth−wheel trailer designs are not compatible with Short bed

(Crew Max models).

D

Trailer hitch assemblies have different weight capacities established by the hitch manufacturer. Even though the vehicle may be physically capable of towing a higher weight, the operator must determine the maximum weight rating of the particular hitch assembly and never exceed the maximum weight rating specified for the trailer−hitch. Exceeding the maximum weight rating set by the trailer hitch manufacturer can cause an accident resulting in death or serious personal injuries.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

487

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 gross 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.

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

IV 2 5/16 in.

II and III

I

2 in.

1 7/8 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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

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.

XS30001 XS30002

BUMPER TOWING (steel bumper only)

The rear bumper of your vehicle is equipped with a hole to install a trailer ball.

For details, contact your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION

The 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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

489

XS30003

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 gross 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.

TOWING CONNECTOR FOR TRAILER

LIGHTS

D Your vehicle is equipped with wire harness sockets for trailer lights under the rear bumper. Use 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.

The towing connector can be also connected to the trailer brake and trailer sub battery.

BREAK−IN SCHEDULE

D If your vehicle is new or equipped with any new power train components (such as the engine, transmission, differential and wheel bearing), Toyota recommends that you do not tow a trailer until it has been driven for over 800 km (500 miles). After the vehicle has been driven for over 800 km (500 miles), you can start towing. However, drive the vehicle at a speed of less than 80 km/h (50 mph) when towing a trailer for another 800 km (500 miles).

In addition, avoid full throttle acceleration.

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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

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 regulations. If not, install the rear view mirrors required for towing purpose.

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 Speed limits for towing a trailer vary by state or province. Do not exceed the posted towing speed limit.

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.

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 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 Because stopping distance may be increased, following 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 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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

493

D In order to maintain engine braking efficiency when driving on a long steep downgrade, do not use the transmission in “D”. Select an appropriate shift range in “S” mode (See “Automatic

transmission” on page 211 in Section

1 − 7).

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” on page 502 in

Section 4.

D Always place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Apply the parking brake firmly.

Put the transmission in “P”. 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.

4. Apply the parking brake firmly.

5. Shift into “P” and turn off the engine.

When restarting out after parking on a slope:

1. With the transmission in “P” position, start the engine. Be sure to keep the brake pedal depressed.

2. Shift into gear.

3. Release the parking brake and brake pedal, 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 use cruise control when you are towing down long, steep grades or with heavy loads.

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

Improving fuel economy is easy—just 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 page

553 in Section 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 driving—but gently. Remember, however, that on cold winter days this may take a little longer.

D

Put the selector lever into the “D” when engine braking is not required.

Driving with the selector lever in a position other than “D” will reduce the fuel economy (For details, see

“Automatic transmission” on page 211

in Section 1 − 7.)

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.

D

Avoid engine lugging or over−revving.

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 brake pedal.

This causes premature 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

“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or

“Owner’s Manual Supplement”.)

If your vehicle will not start—

(a) Simple checks

Before making these checks, make sure you have followed the correct starting procedure given in “How to start the engine”

on page 474 in Section 3 and that you

have sufficient fuel. If your vehicle is equipped with the engine immobilizer system, also check whether the other keys will start the engine. If they work, your key may be broken. Have the key checked at your Toyota dealer. If none of your keys work, there may be a malfunction in the immobilizer system. Call your

Toyota dealer. (See “Keys (with engine

immobilizer system)” on page 18 in Sec-

tion 1 − 2.)

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 lights or personal lights.

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.

498

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. Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or

“LOCK” position and try starting the engine again.

2. If the engine will not start, the engine may be flooded because of repeated cranking. See “(b) Starting a flooded engine” for further instructions.

3. If the engine still will not start, it needs adjustment or repair. Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop.

(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 engine switch to the “START” position with the accelerator pedal fully depressed. Keep the key and accelerator pedal in these positions 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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

(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.

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.

When boosting, use the battery of matching or higher quality. Any other battery may be difficult to jump start with.

If jump starting is difficult, charge the battery for several minutes.

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.

Do not connect the cable to or near any part that moves when the engine is cranked.

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. Charge the discharged battery with the jumper cables connected for approximately 5 minutes. At this time, run the engine in the vehicle with the booster battery at about 2000 rpm with the accelerator pedal lightly depressed.

6. Start your engine in the normal way.

After starting, run it at about 2000 rpm for several minutes with the accelerator pedal lightly depressed.

7. Carefully disconnect the cables in the exact reverse order: the negative cable and then the positive cable.

8. Carefully dispose of the battery cover cloths—they may now contain sulfuric acid.

9. 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 at your Toyota dealer.

If the first start attempt is not successful...

Check that the clamp on the jumper cables are tight. Recharge the discharged battery with the jumper cables connected for several minutes and restart your engine in the normal way.

If another attempt is not successful, the battery may be depleted. Have it checked at your Toyota dealer.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

501

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. Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or

“LOCK” position, and try starting the engine again.

If the engine will not start, see “If your

vehicle will not start” on page 498 in this

Section.

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.

If you cannot increase engine speed

If engine speed does not increase when the accelerator pedal is depressed, there may be a problem somewhere in the electronic throttle control system.

At this time, vibration may occur. However, if you depress the accelerator pedal more firmly and slowly, you can drive your vehicle at low speeds. Have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

Even if the abnormality of the electronic throttle control system is corrected during low speed driving, the system may not be recovered until the engine is stopped and the engine switch is turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.

CAUTION

Be especially careful to prevent erroneous pedal operation.

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” 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.

502

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

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.

For the coolant type, See “Coolant type

selection” on page 551 in Section 7

− 2.

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.

If you have a flat tire—

1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place well away from the traffic. Avoid stopping on the center divider of a highway. Park on a level spot with firm ground.

2. Stop the engine and turn on your emergency flashers.

3. With the transmission in “P” firmly set the parking brake.

4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle on the side away from traffic.

5. Read the following instructions thoroughly.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

503

CAUTION

When jacking, be sure to observe the following to reduce the possibility of death or serious injury:

D Follow jacking instructions.

D

Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle supported by the jack. Otherwise, personal injury may occur.

D Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the jack.

D Stop the vehicle on a level firm ground, firmly set the parking brake and put the transmission in “P”. Block the wheel diagonally opposite to the one being changed if necessary.

D Make sure to set the jack properly in the jack point. Raising the vehicle with jack improperly positioned will damage the vehicle or may allow the vehicle to fall off the jack and cause death or serious injury.

D Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is supported by the jack alone.

D

Use the jack only for lifting your vehicle during wheel changing.

D Do not raise the vehicle with someone in the vehicle.

D

When raising the vehicle, do not place any objects on top of or underneath the jack.

D Raise the vehicle only high enough to remove and change the tire.

NOTICE

Do not continue driving with a deflated tire. Driving even a short distance can damage a tire and wheel beyond repair.

If towing is necessary, we recommend you to have it done by your Toyota dealer or a commercial tow truck service.

If towing service is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be temporarily towed by a cable or chain secured to one of the emergency towing eyelet under the front of the vehicle.

Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle.

NOTICE

Only use specified towing eyelet; otherwise your vehicle may be damaged.

A driver must be in the vehicle to steer it and operate the brakes.

Towing in this manner may be done only on hard − surfaced roads for a short distance and at low speeds. Also, the wheels, axles, drive train, steering and brakes must all be in good condition.

CAUTION

Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle. Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which would place excessive stress on the emergency towing eyelet and towing cable or chain. The eyelet and towing cable or chain may break and cause serious injury or damage.

NOTICE

Use only a cable or chain specifically intended for use in towing vehicles.

Securely fasten the cable or chain to the towing eyelet provided.

Before towing, release the parking brake and put the transmission in “N”. The engine switch must be in the “ACC”

(engine off) or “ON” (engine running) position.

Vehicles with engine immobilizer system—Even if you lose only one key, contact your Toyota dealer to make a new key. If you lose all your master keys, you cannot make new keys; the whole engine immobilizer system must be replaced.

See the suggestion given in “Keys” on

page 18 in Section 1

− 2.

If your keys are locked in the vehicle and you cannot get a duplicate, many Toyota dealers can still open the door for you, using their special tools. If you must break a window to get in, we suggest breaking the smallest side window because it is the least expensive to replace.

Be extremely cautious to avoid cuts from the glass.

If you lose your wireless remote control transmitter

You can purchase a new wireless remote control transmitter at your Toyota dealer.

Have the registered identification numbers of your transmitters deleted from your vehicle by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to avoid the possibility of theft or an accident. Then, have the identification number of your new transmitter registered.

At the same time, you must bring all of the remaining transmitters to have them registered again as well.

You can use the wireless remote control system with the new transmitter. Contact your Toyota dealer for detailed information.

Protecting your Toyota from corrosion

Toyota, through its diligent research, design and use of the most advanced technology available, helps prevent corrosion and provides 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 ambient temperatures can cause corrosion to those components of the vehicle which do not dry quickly 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.

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. 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” on

page 527 in this Section 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.

526

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

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 covered with water or snow, your garage may be so damp as to cause corrosion. Even if your garage is heated, a wet vehicle can corrode if the ventilation is poor.

Washing and waxing your

Toyota

Washing your Toyota

Keep your vehicle clean by regular washing.

The following cases may cause weakness to the paint or corrosion to the body and parts. Wash your vehicle as soon as possible.

D When driving in a coastal area

D When driving on a road sprinkled with antifreeze

D When exposed to coal tar, tree sap, bird droppings and carcass of an insect

D When driving in areas where there is a lot of smoke, soot, dust, iron dust or chemical substances

D When the vehicle becomes remarkably dirty with dust and mud

Hand−washing your Toyota

Work in the shade and wait until the vehicle body is not warm to the touch.

CAUTION

D

When cleaning under floor or chassis, be careful not to injure your hands.

D

Exhaust gases cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot. When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.

1. Rinse off loose dirt with a hose. Remove any mud or road salt from the underside of the vehicle or 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 hard—let the soap and water remove the dirt.

Fuel filler door: Do not apply water (high − pressure car wash, for example) at or near the fuel tank inlet with the fuel filler door opened. If the water enters the air vent, you may experience trouble with refueling or rough engine idling.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

527

Plastic wheel ornaments: The plastic wheel ornaments are damaged easily by organic substances. If any organic substances splash an ornament, be sure to wash them off with water and check if the ornament is damaged.

Aluminum wheels: Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent.

NOTICE z

Do not use corrosive chemical− based cleaners on your wheels.

(Example: hydrofluoric acid) z

Do not use steam cleaners or the chemicals therein to clean your wheels.

z

Do not use scouring pads, wire brushes, or coarse abrasives to clean your wheels.

z

Do not use alcohol, solvents, gasoline, or other non−neutral detergents, because they may alter the wheel’s appearance and resistance to corrosion.

Plastic bumpers: Wash carefully. Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners. The bumper faces are soft.

528

Exterior lights: Wash carefully. Do not use organic substances or scrub them with a hard brush. This may damage the surfaces of the lights.

Road tar: Remove with turpentine or cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces.

3. Rinse thoroughly—dried 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 hard—you might scratch the paint.

NOTICE z

Do not use organic substances

(gasoline, kerosene, benzine or strong solvents), which may be toxic or cause damage.

z

Do not scrub any part of the vehicle with a hard brush, which may cause damage.

Waxing your Toyota

Polishing and waxing is recommended to maintain the original beauty of your

Toyota’s finish.

Apply wax once a month or if the vehicle surface does not repel water well.

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.

Windshield washer nozzles: Make sure that the nozzles do not become blocked when waxing. If a nozzle becomes blocked, contact your Toyota dealer to have the vehicle serviced.

NOTICE

If a nozzle becomes blocked, do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

Exterior lights: Do not apply wax on the surfaces of the lights. Wax may cause damage to the lenses. If you accidentally put wax on the light surfaces, wipe or wash it off.

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

Cleaning the interior

CAUTION

D

Be careful not to splash water or spill liquid on the floor. This may prevent the side airbags and curtain shield airbags from activating correctly, resulting in serious injury.

D

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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

529

Do not apply water—the 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 belts—it 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, audio panel, 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.

530

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.

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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

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.

z

Improper cleaning of the leather upholstery could result in discoloration or staining.

If you have any questions about the cleaning of your Toyota, your local

Toyota dealer will be pleased to answer them.

Maintenance requirements

Your Toyota vehicle has been designed for fewer maintenance requirements with longer service intervals to save both your time and money. However, each regular maintenance, as well as day − to − day care, is more important than ever before to ensure smooth, and trouble − free, safe, and economical drivings.

It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure the specified maintenance, including general maintenance service, is performed.

Note that both the new vehicle and emission control system warranties specify that proper maintenance and care must be performed. See “Owner’s Warranty

Information Booklet” or “Owner’s Manual

Supplement” for complete warranty information.

General maintenance

General maintenance items are those day − to − day care practices that are important to your vehicle for proper operation. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the general maintenance items are performed regularly.

These checks or inspections can be done either by yourself or a qualified technician, or if you prefer, your Toyota dealer will be pleased to do them at a nominal cost.

534

Scheduled maintenance

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 “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.

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 vehicle—reliably and economically.

Your copy of the repair order is proof that all required maintenance has been performed for warranty coverage. 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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

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 per-

form them are presented on page 539 in

Section 7.

If you are a skilled do − it − yourself mechanic, the Toyota service manuals are recommended. Please be aware that do − it − yourself maintenance can affect your warranty coverage. See “Owner’s Warranty

Information Booklet” or “Owner’s Manual

Accelerator pedal

Check the pedal for smooth operation and uneven pedal effort or catching.

Brake pedal

Check the pedal for smooth operation and that the pedal has the proper clearance.

Check the brake booster function.

Brakes

In a safe place, check that the brakes do not pull to one side when applied.

Parking brake

Check that the pedal has the proper travel and that, on a safe incline, your vehicle is held securely with only the parking brake applied.

Automatic transmission “Park” mechanism

On a safe incline, check that your vehicle is held securely with the selector lever in

“P” position and all brakes released.

OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE

Items listed below should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified.

Fluid leaks

Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, water or other fluid after the vehicle has been parked for a while. If you smell fuel fumes or notice any leak, have the cause found and corrected immediately.

536

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

Doors and engine hood

Check that all doors including tailgate operate smoothly and all latches lock securely. Make sure the engine hood secondary latch secures the hood from opening when the primary latch is released.

Tire inflation pressure

Check the pressure with a gauge every two weeks, or at least once a

month. See page 553 in Section 7

− 2 for additional information.

Tire surface and wheel nuts

Check the tires carefully for cuts, damage or excessive wear. See page

556 in Section 7

− 2 for additional information. When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check the nuts for looseness. Tighten them if necessary.

Tire rotation

Rotate the tires according to the maintenance schedule. (For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to the “Scheduled

Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s

Manual Supplement”.) See page 558

in Section 7 − 2 for additional information.

Does your vehicle need repairing?

Be on the alert for changes in performance, sounds, and visual tip − offs that indicate service is needed. Some important clues are as follows:

D Engine missing, stumbling, or pinging

D Appreciable loss of power

D Strange engine noises

D A leak under the vehicle (however, water dripping from the air conditioning after use is normal.)

D Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system checked immediately.)

D Flat − looking tire; excessive tire squeal when cornering; uneven tire wear

D Vehicle pulls to one side when driving straight on a level road

D Strange noises related to suspension movement

D Loss of brake effectiveness; spongy feeling brake or clutch pedal; pedal almost touches floor; vehicle pulls to one side when braking

D Engine coolant temperature continually higher than normal

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

537

If you notice any of these clues, take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. It probably needs adjustment or repair.

CAUTION

Do not continue driving with the vehicle unchecked. It could result in serious vehicle damage and possibly personal injury.

Emissions Inspection and

Maintenance (I/M) programs

Some states have vehicle emission inspection programs which include OBD

(On − Board Diagnostics) checks.

The OBD system monitors the operation of the emission control system. When the

OBD system determines that a problem exists somewhere in the emission control system, the malfunction indicator lamp comes on. In this case, your vehicle may not pass the I/M test and need to be repaired. Contact your Toyota dealer to service the vehicle.

Even if the malfunction indicator lamp does not come on, your vehicle may not pass the I/M test as readiness codes have not been set in the OBD system.

Readiness codes are automatically set during ordinary driving. However, when the battery is disconnected or run down, the codes are erased. Also, depending on your driving habits, the codes may not be completely set.

Also, if the malfunction indicator lamp had come on recently due to temporary malfunction such as a loose fuel tank cap, your vehicle may not pass the I/M test.

The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after taking several driving trips, but the error code in the OBD system will not be cleared unless about 40 trips or more are taken.

If your vehicle does not pass the I/M test even the malfunction indicator lamp does not come on, contact your Toyota dealer to prepare the vehicle for re − testing.

Do−it−yourself service precautions

If you perform maintenance by yourself, be sure to follow the correct procedure given in this Section.

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 Section gives instructions only for those items that are relatively easy for an owner to perform. As explained in Section

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” on page 545 in this Section.

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:

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

543

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 compartment—the 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 leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper or rags, in the engine compartment.

D

Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open flames around fuel or the battery. Their fumes are flammable.

D

Do not get under your vehicle with just the body jack supporting it. Always use automotive jack stands or other solid supports.

544

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.

D

Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.

NOTICE z

Remember that battery and ignition coil carry high currents or voltages.

Be careful of accidentally causing a short circuit.

z

Add only “Toyota Super Long Life

Coolant” or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non−silicate, non−amine, non−nitrite, and non−borate coolant with long−life hybrid organic acid technology to fill the radiator. “Toyota Super Long Life

Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deionized water (for the U.S.A.) or 55% coolant and 45% deionized water (for Canada).

z

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 Use only spark plugs of the specified type. Using other types will cause engine damage, loss of performance or radio noise.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

z

Do not reuse iridium−tipped spark plugs by cleaning or regapping.

z

Do not overfill automatic transmission fluid, or the transmission could be damaged.

z

Do not drive with the air cleaner filter removed, or excessive engine wear could result. Also backfiring could cause a fire in the engine compartment.

z

Be careful not to scratch the glass surface with the wiper frame.

z

When closing the engine hood, check to see that you have not forgotten any tools, rags, etc.

5.7 L V8 (3UR−FE) engine

With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil level on the dipstick.

1. To get a correct reading, the vehicle should be on level ground. After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back into the bottom of the engine.

2. Pull the dipstick out, hold a rag under the end and wipe it clean.

3. Reinsert the dipstick—push it in as far as it will go, or the reading will not be correct.

NOTICE

Be careful not to drop engine oil on the vehicle components.

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. We recommend that you use a funnel when adding oil.

The approximate quantity of oil needed to raise the level between low and full on the dipstick is indicated as follows:

4.0 L V6 (1GR − FE) and 4.7 L V8 (2UZ −

FE) engine

1.5 L (1.6 qt., 1.3 Imp.qt.)

5.7 L V8 (3UR − FE) engine

1.1 L (1.2 qt., 1.0 Imp.qt.)

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

For the engine oil capacity, see “Service

specifications” on page 589 in Section 8.

When the level reaches within the correct range, install the filler cap hand − tight.

NOTICE z

Be careful not to spill engine oil on the vehicle components.

z Avoid overfilling, or the engine could be damaged.

z

Check the oil level on the dipstick once again after adding the oil.

ENGINE OIL SELECTION

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use Toyota approved

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy the following grade and viscosity.

Oil grade:

ILSAC multigrade engine oil

Recommended viscosity:

4.0 L V6 (1GR − FE) and 4.7 L V8

(2UZ − FE) engine

SAE 5W − 30

If SAE 5W−30 oil is not available, SAE

10W−30 oil may be used. However, it should be replaced with SAE 5W−30 at the next oil change.

Outside temperature

SAE 5W−30 is the best choice for good fuel economy, and good starting in cold weather.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

549

5.7 L V8 (3UR − FE) engine

SAE 5W − 20 or 0W − 20

SOIL020

Outside temperature

SAE 5W−20 or 0W−20 engine oil may be used. However, SAE 0W−20 is the best choice for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather.

Oil identification mark

The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee) Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to help you select the oil you should use.

To ensure excellent lubrication performance for your engine, “Toyota Genuine

Motor Oil” is available, which has been specifically tested and approved for all

Toyota engines.

Please contact your Toyota dealer for further details about “Toyota Genuine Motor

Oil”.

550

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

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 “FULL” and “LOW” lines on the reservoir. If the level is low, add the coolant. (For the coolant type, see

“Coolant type selection” described below.)

The coolant level in the reservoir will vary with engine temperature. However, if the level is on or below the “LOW” line, add coolant. Bring the level up to the “FULL” line.

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.

Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non − silicate, non − amine, non − nitrite, and non − borate coolant with long − life hybrid organic acid technology. (Coolant with long − life hybrid organic acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids.)

For the U.S.A.—“Toyota Super Long Life

Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and

50% deionized water. This coolant provides protection down to about − 35 _ C

( − 31 _ F).

For Canada—“Toyota Super Long Life

Coolant” is a mixture of 55% coolant and

45% deionized water. This coolant provides protection down to about − 42 _ C

( − 44 _ F).

NOTICE

Do not use plain water alone.

Toyota recommends “Toyota Super Long

Life Coolant”, which has been tested to ensure that it will not cause corrosion nor result in malfunction of your engine coolant system with proper usage. “Toyota

Super Long Life Coolant” is formulated with long − life hybrid organic acid technology and has been specifically designed to avoid engine cooling system malfunction on Toyota vehicles.

Please contact your Toyota dealer for further details.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

551

Checking the radiator and condenser

If either of the above parts are extremely dirty or you are not sure of their condition, take your vehicle to a Toyota dealer.

CAUTION

To prevent burning yourself, be careful not to touch the radiator or condenser when the engine is hot.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the radiator and condenser, do not perform the work by yourself.

Checking brake fluid

XS72003

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 cap by hand. Fill the brake fluid to the dotted line. This brings the fluid to the correct level when you put the cap 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 hands or eyes. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water immediately. If you still feel uncomfortable with your hands or eyes, go to the doctor.

NOTICE

If you spill some of the fluid, be sure to wipe it off to prevent it from damaging the parts or paintwork.

552

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

Checking power steering fluid

If hot

O.K.

Open

If hot add

Close

XS72005

If cold

O.K.

If cold add

Check the fluid level through the reservoir. If necessary, add automatic transmission fluid DEXRON r

II or III.

If the vehicle has been driven around 80 km/h (50 mph) for 20 minutes (a little more in frigid temperatures), the fluid is hot (60 _ C—80 _ C or 140 _ F—175 _ F). You may also check the level when the fluid is cold (about room temperature,

10 _ C—30 _ C or 50 _ F—85 _ F) if the engine has not been run for about five hours.

Clean all dirt from the outside of the reservoir tank and look at the fluid level. If the fluid is cold, the level should be in the

“COLD” range. Similarly, if it is hot, the fluid level should be in the “HOT” range.

If the level is at the low side of either range, add automatic transmission fluid

DEXRON r II or III to bring the level within the range.

To remove the reservoir cap, turn it counterclockwise and lift up. To reinstall it, turn it clockwise. After replacing the reservoir cap, visually check the steering box case, vane pump and hose connections for leaks or damage.

CAUTION

The reservoir tank may be hot so be careful not to burn yourself.

NOTICE

Avoid overfilling, or the power steering could be damaged.

Checking tire inflation pressure

XS72011

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

553

Keep your tire inflation pressures at the proper level.

The recommended cold tire inflation pressures, tire sizes and the combined weight of occupants and cargo

(vehicle capacity weight) are de-

scribed on page 580 in Section 8.

They are also described on the tire and loading information label as shown.

You should check the tire inflation pressure every two weeks, or at least once a month. And do not forget the spare!

The following instructions for checking tire inflation 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 inflation pressure reading.

D

Always use a tire pressure gauge.

The appearance of a tire can be misleading. Besides, tire inflation pressures that are even just a few pounds off can degrade ride and handling.

D Do not bleed or reduce tire inflation pressure after driving.

It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving.

D Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.

Passenger and luggage weight should be located so that the vehicle is balanced.

Tire pressure gauge

XS72013

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT

PROCEDURE

1. Remove the tire valve cap.

2. Press the tip of the tire pressure gauge to the tire valve.

3. Read the pressure using the graduations of the gauge.

4. In case the tire inflation pressure is not within the prescribed range, insert the compressed air from the valve. In case of applying too much air, press the center of the valve and release the air to adjust.

554

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

5. After completing the tire inflation pressure measurement and adjustment, apply soapy water to the valve and check for leakage.

6. Install the tire valve cap.

If a gauge and air pump are not available, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION

Be sure to reinstall the tire 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.

Incorrect tire inflation pressure may waste fuel, reduce the comfort of driving, reduce tire life and make your vehicle less safe to drive.

If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION

Keep your tires properly inflated.

Otherwise, the following conditions may occur and cause an accident resulting in death or serious injuries.

Low tire pressure (underinflation)—

D Excessive wear

D Uneven wear

D Poor handling

D

Possibility of blowouts from an overheated tire

D

Poor sealing of the tire bead

D Wheel deformation and/or tire separation

D A greater possibility of tire damage from road hazards

High tire pressure (overinflation)—

D

Poor handling

D

Excessive wear

D Uneven wear

D

A greater possibility of tire damage from road hazards

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

555

Checking and replacing tires

Treadwear indicator

CHECKING YOUR TIRES

Check the tire’s tread for treadwear indicators. If the indicators show, replace the tires. The location of treadwear indicators is shown by the “TWI” or “

Δ

” marks, etc., molded on the sidewall of each tire.

The tires on your Toyota have built − in treadwear 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.).

If you have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose the fabric, or bulges indicating internal damage, the tire should be replaced.

If a tire often goes flat or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage, it should be replaced. If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer.

If air loss occurs while driving, do not continue driving. Driving even a short distance can damage a tire beyond repair.

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 applies also to the temporary spare tire and tires stored for future use.

556

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

REPLACING YOUR TIRES

When replacing a tire, use a tire of the same size and construction, and the same or greater maximum load as the originally installed tires. Also, on four−wheel drive models, all the tires must be the same brand and have the same tread patterns.

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.

Check that the maximum load of the replaced tire is greater than 1/2 of the

Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle or the rear axle, whichever is greater. As for the maximum load of the tire, see the load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure mentioned on the sidewall of the tire, and as for the Gross Axle

Weight Ratings (GAWR), see the Certification Label.

For details about the sidewall of the tire and the Certification Label, see

“Tire information” on page 457 in

Section 2 and “Your Toyota’s

identification” on page 455 in Section

2.

CAUTION

Observe the following instructions. Otherwise, an accident may occur resulting in death or serious injuries.

D Do not mix radial, bias belted, or bias−ply tires on your vehicle, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control.

D

Do not use tires other than the manufacturer’s recommended size, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control.

D Do not use tires of different brands, sizes and constructions. This may damage the drive system and prevent the vehicle stability control system from functioning correctly.

D

Four−wheel drive models:

Do not use tires of different brands, sizes, construction or tread patterns, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control.

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” on page

503 in Section 4 for tire change proce-

dure.

When a tire is replaced, the wheel should always be balanced.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

557

Rotating tires

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.

The tire pressure warning system must be initialized when the specified tire inflation pressure is changed due to tire replacement.

See “Tire pressure warning

system” on page 254 in Section

1−7.

NOTICE

z

When the tires must be repaired or replaced, have them repaired or replaced by the nearest Toyota dealer or authorized tire dealer. Failure to do so may cause the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters to be damaged when the tires are removed or installed.

z

Remove the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters before replacing the tires to prevent the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters from being damaged.

XS72010

To equalize the wear and help extend tire life, Toyota recommends that you rotate your tires according to the maintenance schedule. (For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to the “Scheduled

Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s

Manual Supplement”.) However, the most appropriate timing for tire rotation may vary according to your driving habits and road surface conditions.

558

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

See “If you have a flat tire” on page

503 in Section 4 for tire change proce-

dure.

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.

The tire pressure warning system must be initialized when rotating tires, in case that the specified tire inflation pressure is different between front and rear. See “Tire pressure warning system” on page

254 in Section 1−7.

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 tires of the same size, construction and load capacity as the originally installed tires.

Also, on four−wheel drive models, all the tires must be the same brand and have the same tread patterns.

Do not use tires other than those mentioned above. Do not install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restrictions.

CAUTION

Observe the following instructions.

Otherwise, an accident may occur resulting in death or serious injuries.

D

Do not use snow tires other than the manufacturer’s recommended size, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control.

D

Four−wheel drive models:

Do not use snow tires of different brands, sizes, construction or tread patterns, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control.

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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

559

Side chain

G72017

Cross chain

TIRE CHAIN SELECTION

Use the tire chains of correct size.

Use the following type chains.

A Diameter of side chain:

B Diameter of cross chain: mm (in.)

5.0 (0.20)

6.3 (0.25)

Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary according to location or type of road, so always check local regulations before installing chains.

NOTICE

If the wrong combination of tire and chain is used, the chains could damage the vehicle body.

560

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 0.5—1.0 km

(1/4—1/2 miles).

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.

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.

D

When driving with chains installed, be sure to drive carefully. Slow down before entering curves to avoid losing control of the vehicle.

Otherwise an accident may occur.

NOTICE

Snow tires or chains may affect the tire pressure warning system. See

“Tire pressure warning system” on

page 254 in Section 1−7.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

Replacing wheels

As you might have difficulty in identifying a flat or deflated tire, a tire pressure warning system is provided on this vehicle.

When replacing the wheels, be sure to install tire pressure warning valves and transmitters on the wheels. Consult your

Toyota dealer about how to set up the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.

CAUTION

D

Have the tires, wheels or tire pressure warning valves and transmitters replaced and ID codes registered by Toyota dealer. If you need tire pressure warning valves and transmitters, purchase from Toyota dealer.

D

The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter nuts should always be tightened to a torque of 4 N·m (0.4

kgf·m, 2.9 ft·lbf).

D

The use of non−genuine wheels may result in the tire pressure warning system failure or air−leak.

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 a damaged wheel, the tire may slip off the wheel or 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.

CAUTION

Observe the following instructions.

Otherwise, an accident may occur resulting in death or serious injuries.

D

Do not use wheels other than the manufacturer’s recommended size, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control.

D

Four−wheel drive models:

Do not use wheels of different brands, sizes and types, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

561

Wheel precautions

D When installing wheels, check that the wheel nuts are tight after driving your vehicle the first 160 km (100 miles).

D If you have rotated, repaired, or changed your tires, check that the wheel nuts are still tight after driving

160 km (100 miles).

D Wheel nut torque.

Steel wheel:

209 N·m (21.3 kgf·m, 154 ft·lbf)

Aluminum wheel:

131 N·m (13.4 kgf·m, 97 ft·lbf)

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 aluminum 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.

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” on page 543 in Sec-

tion 7 − 1 for locations of the fuses.

Turn the engine switch and inoperative component off. Pull the 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

page 595 in Section 8 for the functions

controlled by each circuit.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

Type A fuses can be pulled out by the pull − out tool. The location of the pull − out tool is shown in the illustration.

Type B fuses—When any of the fuses are blown, contact your Toyota dealer.

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 “A/C” 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 to the rating as possible. 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.

You should normalize the moon roof if it does not operate automatically or the jam protection function does not operate correctly after replacing blown fuses. To normalize the moon roof, see “Electric

moon roof” on page 43 in Section 1

− 2.

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.

Make sure that the fuse box lid has been closed securely after closing it.

Adding washer fluid

If any washer does not work or the 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 the 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.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

567

Replacing light bulbs—

The following illustrations show how to gain access to the bulbs. When replacing a bulb, make sure the engine switch and light switch are off. Use bulbs with the wattage ratings given in the table.

The side turn signal lights consist of a number of LEDs. If any of the LEDs burn out, take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer to have the light replaced.

CAUTION

D

To prevent burning yourself, do not replace the light bulbs while they are hot.

D

Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and require special handling.

They can burst or shatter if scratched or dropped. Hold a bulb only by its plastic or metal case.

Do not touch the glass part of a bulb with bare hands.

The inside of the lens of exterior lights such as headlights may temporarily fog up when the lens becomes wet in the rain or in a car wash. This is not a problem because the fogging is caused by the temperature difference between the outside and inside of the lens, just like the windshield fogs up in the rain. However, if there is a large drop of water on the inside of the lens, or if there is water pooled inside the light, contact your

Toyota dealer.

Generally, it is necessary to change automatic transmission fluid only if your vehicle is driven under one of the Special

Operating Conditions listed in your

“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or

“Owner’s Manual Supplement”. When changing the automatic transmission fluid, use only “Toyota Genuine ATF WS” (ATF

JWS3324 or NWS9638) to aid in assuring optimum transmission performance.

Notice: Using automatic transmission fluid other than “Toyota Genuine ATF

WS” may cause deterioration in shift quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ultimately damage the automatic transmission of your vehicle.

Please contact your Toyota dealer for further details.

Reporting safety defects for

U.S. owners

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Toyota Motor

Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (Toll − free:

1 − 800 − 331 − 4331).

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However,

NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Toyota Motor

Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll − free at 1 − 888 − 327 − 4236 (TTY:

1 − 800 − 424 − 9153); go to

http://www.safercar.gov

; or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 1200

New Jersey Ave, S.E.,

Washington, DC 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from

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 careful—overloading can cause dangerous braking and handling problems, and can damage your vehicle and its tires.

2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM34477U)

—Gross axle and vehicle weight ratings

Gross axle weight rating

XS90006

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”

on page 455 in Section 2 for the Certifica-

tion Label location. If weight ratings are exceeded, move or remove items to bring all weights below the ratings.
