Keys

Your vehicle is supplied with two kindsof keys.

1. Master key (black)—This key works inevery lock. Your Toyota dealer willneed it to make you a new key withbuilt−in transponder chip.

2. Sub key (gray)—This key does notwork in the glove box.

A transponder chip for engine immobilisersystem has been filled in the head of themaster and sub keys. These chips areneeded to enable the system to functioncorrectly, so be careful not to lose thesekeys. If you make your own duplicate key,you will not be able to cancel the systemor start the engine.

To protect things locked in the glove boxwhen you have your vehicle parked, leavethe sub key with the attendant.

Since the side doors can be locked with-out a key, you should always carry aspare master key in case you accidentallylock your keys inside the vehicle.

For information on use of the wirelessremote control key, see ”Side doors” inthis section.

NOTICE

When using a key containing a trans-ponder chip, observe the followingprecautions:

! When starting the engine, do notuse the key with a key ring restingon the key grip and do not pressthe key ring against the key grip.Otherwise the engine may not start,or may stop soon after it starts.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

11

! When starting the engine, do notuse the key with other transponderkeys around (including keys of oth-er vehicles) and do not press otherkey plates against the key grip.Otherwise the engine may not start,or may stop soon after it starts. Ifthis happens, remove the key onceand then insert it again after takingoff other transponder keys (includ-ing keys of other vehicles) from thering or while gripping or coveringthem with your hand to start theengine.

! Do not bend the key grip.

! Do not cover the key grip with anymaterial that cuts off electromagnet-ic waves.

! Do not knock the key hard againstother objects.

! Do not leave the key exposed tohigh temperatures for a long period,such as on the dashboard and hoodunder the direct sunlight.

! Do not put the key in water orwash it in an ultrasonic washer.

! Do not use the key with electromag-netic materials.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

KEY NUMBER PLATE

Your key number is shown on the plate.Keep the plate in a safe place such asyour wallet, not in the vehicle.

If you should lose your keys or if youneed additional keys, duplicates can bemade by a Toyota dealer using the keynumber.

We recommend you to write down the keynumber and keep it in safe place.

Engine immobiliser system

The engine immobiliser system is atheft prevention system. When you in-sert the key in the ignition switch, thetransponder chip in the key’s headtransmits an electronic code to the ve-hicle. The engine will start, only whenthe electronic code in the chip corre-sponds to the registered ID code forthe vehicle.

The system is automatically set when thekey is removed from the ignition switch.The indicator light will start flashing toshow the system is set.

If either of the following indicator condi-tions occurs, contact your Toyota dealer.

! The indicator light stays on exceptwhen the theft deterrent system is set-ting or activating. (See ”Theft deterrentsystem”.)

! The indicator light does not start flash-ing when the key is removed from theignition switch.

! The indicator light flashes unsteady.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

13

Inserting the registered key in the ignitionswitch automatically cancels the system,which enables the engine to start. Theindicator light will go off.

For your Toyota dealer to make you anew key with built−in transponder chip,your dealer will need your key numberand master key. However, there is a limitto the number of additional keys yourToyota dealer can make for you.

If you make your own duplicate key,you will not be able to cancel the sys-tem or start the engine.

Toyota strongly urges that the driver andpassengers in the vehicle be properly re-strained at all times with the seat beltsprovided. Failure to do so could increasethe chance of injury and/or the severity ofinjury in accidents.

Child. Use a child restraint system ap-propriate for the child until the child be-comes large enough to properly wear thevehicle’s seat belts. (For details, see”Child restraint” in this section.)

If a child is too large for a child restraintsystem, the child should sit in the rearseat and must be restrained using thevehicle’s seat belt. According to accidentstatistics, the child is safer when properlyrestrained in the rear seat than in thefront seat.

If a child must sit in the front seat, theseat belts should be worn properly. If anaccident occurs and the seat belts are notworn properly, the force of the rapid infla-tion of the airbag may cause death orserious injury to the child.

Do not allow the child to stand up orkneel on either rear or front seats. Anunrestrained child could suffer serious in-jury or death during emergency braking ora collision. Also, do not let the child siton your lap. It does not provide sufficientrestraint.

Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends theuse of a seat belt. Ask your doctor forspecific recommendations. The lap beltshould be worn securely and as low aspossible over the hips and not on thewaist

Injured person. Toyota recommends theuse of a seat belt. Depending on the inju-ry, first check with your doctor for specificrecommendations.

—Front seat belt pretensioners

The driver and front passenger’s seatbelt pretensioners are designed to beactivated in response to a severe fron-tal impact.

When the airbag sensor detects the shockof a severe frontal impact, the front seatbelts are quickly drawn back in by theretractor so that the belts snugly restrainthe front seat occupants.

The front seat belt pretensioners are acti-vated even with no passenger in the frontseat.

Collisions occurring at certain speeds andangles may cause the seat belt preten-sioners and SRS airbags not to operateall together.

This indicator comes on when the igni-tion key is turned to the ”ACC” or”ON” position. It goes off after about6 seconds. This means the front seatbelt pretensioners are operating proper-ly.

This warning light system monitors theairbag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-sors, front seat belt pretensioner assem-blies, warning light, interconnecting wiringand power sources. (For details, see ”Ser-vice reminder indicators and warning buzz-ers” in Section 1−5.)

When the front seat belt pretensioners areactivated, an operating noise may beheard and a small amount of smoke−likegas may be released. This gas is harm-less and does not indicate that a fire isoccurring.

Once the front seat belt pretensionershave been activated, the seat belt retrac-tors remain locked.

CAUTION

Do not modify, remove, strike or openthe front seat belt pretensioner as-semblies, airbag sensor or surround-ing area or wiring. Doing any of thesemay cause sudden operation of thefront seat belt pretensioners or dis-able the system, which could result indeath or serious injury.

Failure to follow these instructionscan result in death or serious inju-ries.

NOTICE

Do not perform any of the followingchanges without consulting yourToyota dealer. Such changes caninterfere with proper operation of thefront seat belt pretensioners in somecases.

! Installation of electronic devicessuch as a mobile two−way radio,cassette tape player or compactdisc player

! Repairs on or near the front seatbelt retractor assemblies

! Modification of the suspension sys-tem

! Modification of the front end struc-ture

! Attachment of a grille guard (bullbar, kangaroo bar, etc.), snowplow,winches or any other equipment tothe front end

This front seat belt pretensioner systemhas a service reminder indicator to informthe driver of operating problems. If eitherof the following conditions occurs, thisindicates a malfunction of the airbags orpretensioners. Contact your Toyota dealeras soon as possible to service thevehicle.

! The light does not come on when theignition key is turned to the ”ACC” or”ON” position, or the light remains on.

! The light comes on or flashes whiledriving.

! If either front seat belt does not retractor can not be pulled out due to amalfunction or activation of the rele-avant front seat belt pretensioner.

In the following cases, contact your Toyotadealer as soon as possible:

! The front part of the vehicle (shadedin the illustration) was involved in anaccident that was not severe enough tocause the front seat belt pretensionersto operate.

! Either front seat belt pretensioner as-sembly or surrounding area isscratched, cracked, or otherwise dam-aged.

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-tem) airbags are designed to providefurther protection for the driver andfront passenger in addition to the pri-mary safety protection provided by theseat belts.

In response to a severe frontal impact,the SRS airbags work together with theseat belts to help reduce injury by inflat-ing. The SRS airbags help to reduce inju-ries mainly to the driver’s or front passen-ger’s head or chest directly hitting thesteering wheel or dashboard. The frontpassenger airbag is activated even withno passenger in the front seat.

Be sure to wear your seat belt properly.

SRS driver and frontpassenger airbags

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

58

CAUTION

A driver or front passenger too closeto the steering wheel or dashboardduring airbag deployment can bekilled or seriously injured. Toyotastrongly recommends that:

! The driver sit as far back aspossible from the steering wheelwhile still maintaining control ofthe vehicle.

! The front passenger sit as farback as possible from the dash-board.

! All vehicle occupants be properlyrestrained using the availableseat belts.

This indicator comes on when the igni-tion key is turned to the ”ACC” or”ON” position. It goes off after about6 seconds. This means the SRS airbagsare operating properly.

This warning light system monitors theairbag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-sors, inflators, warning light, interconnect-ing wiring and power sources. (For details,see ”Service reminder indicators andwarning buzzers” in Section 1−5.)

The SRS airbag system is designed toactivate in response to a severe frontalimpact within the shaded area betweenthe arrows in the illustration.

The SRS airbags will deploy if the severi-ty of the impact is above the designedthreshold level, comparable to an approxi-mate 25 km/h (15 mph) collision whenimpacting straight into a fixed barrier thatdoes not move or deform.

If the severity of the impact is below theabove threshold level, the SRS airbagsmay not deploy.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

59

However, this threshold velocity will beconsiderably higher if the vehicle strikesan object, such as a parked vehicle orsign pole, which can move or deform onimpact, or if it is involved in an underridecollision (e.g. a collision in which the noseof the vehicle ”underrides”, or goes under,the bed of a truck, etc.).

It is possible that in some collisions at thelower zone of airbag sensor detection andactivation the SRS airbags and seat beltpretensioners will not operate all together.

For the safety of all occupants, alwayswear your seat belts properly.

Collision from the rear

Collision from the side

Vehicle rollover

The SRS airbags are not designed toinflate if the vehicle is involved in aside or rear collision, if it rolls over, orif it is involved in a low−speed frontalcollision.

Hitting a curb,edge of pavementor hard material

Falling into orjumping over adeep hole

Landing hard or vehicle falling

The SRS airbags may deploy if a seri-ous impact occurs to the underside ofyour vehicle. Some examples are shownin the illustration.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

60

The SRS airbag system consists mainly ofthe following components, and their loca-tions are shown in the illustration.

1. Front airbag sensors

2. SRS warning light

3. Airbag module for front passenger (air-bag and inflator)

4. Airbag sensor assembly

5. Airbag module for driver (airbag andinflator)

The airbag sensor assembly consists of asafing sensor and airbag sensor.

In a severe frontal impact, the sensorsdetect deceleration and the system trig-gers the airbag inflators. Then a chemicalreaction in the inflators quickly fills theairbags with non−toxic gas to help restrainthe forward motion of the occupants.

When the airbags inflate, they produce afairly loud noise and release some smokeand residue along with non−toxic gas. Thisdoes not indicate a fire. This gas is nor-mally harmless; however, for those whohave delicate skin, it may cause a minorskin irritation. Be sure to wash off anyresidue as soon as possible to preventany potential skin irritation.

Deployment of the airbags happens in afraction of a second, so the airbags mustinflate with considerable force. While thesystem is designed to reduce serious inju-ries, it may also cause minor burns orabrasions and swelling.

Parts of the airbag module (steering wheelhub, dashboard) may be hot for severalminutes, but the airbags themselves willnot be hot. The airbags are designed toinflate only once.

A crash severe enough to inflate the air-bags may break the windshield as thevehicle buckles. In vehicles with a pas-senger airbag the windshield may also bedamaged by absorbing some of the forceof the inflating airbag.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

61

CAUTION

! The SRS airbag system is de-signed only as a supplement tothe primary protection of thedriver side and front passengerside seat belt systems. The frontseat occupants can be killed orseriously injured by the inflatingairbags if they do not wear theavailable seat belts properly. Dur-ing sudden braking just before acollision, an unrestrained driveror front passenger can move for-ward into direct contact with orclose proximity to the airbagwhich may then deploy duringthe collision. To ensure maximumprotection in an accident, thedriver and all passengers in thevehicle must wear their seatbelts properly. Wearing a seatbelt during an accident reducesthe chances of death or seriousinjury or being thrown out of thevehicle. For instructions and pre-cautions concerning the seat beltsystem, see ”Seat belts” in thissection.

! Improperly seated and/or re-strained infants and children canbe killed or seriously injured bythe deploying airbag. An infantor child who is too small to usea seat belt should be properlysecured using a child restraintsystem. Toyota strongly recom-mends that all infants and chil-dren be placed in the rear seatof the vehicle and properly re-strained. The rear seat is the saf-est for infants and children. Forinstructions concerning theinstallation of a child restraintsystem, see ”Child restraint” inthis section.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

62

! Never put a rear−facing child re-straint system on the front pas-senger seat because the force ofthe rapid inflation of the frontpassenger airbag can causedeath or serious injury to thechild.

Move seat fully back

! A forward−facing child restraintsystem should be allowed to beput on the front passenger seatonly when it is unavoidable. Al-ways move the seat as far backas possible, because the force ofthe deploying passenger airbagcould cause death or serious in-jury to the child.

! For instructions concerning theinstallation of a child restraint sys-tem, see ”Child restraint” in thissection.

! Do not sit on the edge of theseat or lean over the dashboardwhen the vehicle is in use. Theairbags inflate with considerablespeed and force; you may bekilled or seriously injured. Sit upstraight and well back in theseat, and always use your seatbelt properly.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

63

! Do not allow a child to stand up,or to kneel on the front passen-ger seat. The airbag inflates withconsiderable speed and force;the child may be killed or seri-ously injured.

! Do not hold a child on your lapor in your arms. Use a child re-straint system in the rear seat.For instructions concerning theinstallation of a child restraintsystem, see ”Child restraint” inthis section.

! Do not put objects or your petson or in front of the dashboardor steering wheel pad thathouses the airbag system. Theymight restrict inflation or causedeath or serious injury as theyare projected rearward by theforce of deploying airbags. Like-wise, the driver and front pas-senger should not hold things intheir arms or on their knees.

! Do not modify or remove anywiring. Do not modify, remove,strike or open any componentssuch as the steering wheel pad,steering wheel, column cover,front passenger airbag cover,front passenger airbag or airbagsensor assembly. Doing any ofthese may cause sudden SRSairbag inflation or disable thesystem, which could result indeath or serious injury.

Failure to follow these instructionscan result in death or serious injury.

Toyota strongly urges the use of childrestraint systems for children smallenough to use them.

The laws of all fifty states in the U.S.A.now require the use of a child restraintsystem.

Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819.

If a child is too large for a child restraintsystem, the child should sit in the rearseat and must be restrained using thevehicle’s seat belt. See ”Seat belts” in thissection for details.

CAUTION

! For effective protection in auto-mobile accidents and suddenstops, child must be properly re-strained using a seat belt orchild restraint system dependingon the age and size of the child.Holding a child in your arms isnot a substitute for a child re-straint system. In an accident,the child can be crushed againstthe windshield, or between youand the vehicle’s interior.

! Toyota strongly urges use of aproper child restraint systemwhich conforms to the size ofthe child, and is put on the rearseat. According to accident sta-tistics, the child is safer whenproperly restrained in the rearseat than in the front seat.

! Never put a rear−facing child re-straint system on the front seat.In the event of an accident, theforce of the rapid inflation of theairbag can cause death or seri-ous injury if a rear−facing childrestraint system is put on thefront seat.

! Unless it is unavoidable, do notput a child restraint system onthe front seat.

! A forward−facing child restraintsystem should be allowed to beput on the front seat only whenit is unavoidable. Always movethe seat as far back as possible,because the force of the deploy-ing airbag could cause death orserious injury to the child.

NOTICE

Do not put magnets or a metal objectnear the inside rear view mirror. Do-ing this may cause malfunction of thecompass sensor.

CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviationcalibration)

The direction display on the compassdeviates from the true direction deter-mined by the earth’s magnetic field, Theamount of deviation varies according tothe geographic position of the vehicle.

To adjust for this deviation, stop the ve-hicle and push the button for longer thanabout 6 seconds until the number (1−15)appears on the display. Then push thebutton again, referring to the followingmap to select the number of the zonewhere the vehicle is.

13C015

Zone number " Hawaii is included in zone 5.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

91

If the direction is displayed several sec-onds after adjustment, the calibration isfinished.

CAUTION

Do not adjust the display while thevehicle is moving. Be sure to adjustthe display only when the vehicle isstopped.

13C011

CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (circlingcalibration)

“C” appears on the display in case thecircling calibration is required due to thedrastic change of the magnetic field. Torectify this, follow the calibration proce-dure.

13C012

Drive the vehicle slowly (at 8km/h (5mph)or lower) in a circle until the direction isdisplayed. If there is not enough space todrive in a circle, drive around the blockuntil the direction is displayed.

After driving in 1 to 3 circles in the abovemethod, calibration is complete with thedirection shown on the display.

If calibration cannot be performed becauseof the magnetized vehicle, etc., take yourvehicle to Toyota dealer.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

92

! Do not perform circling calibration ofthe compass in a place where theearth’s magnetic field is subject to in-terference by artificial magnetic fields(underground parking, under a steeltower, between buildings, roof parking,near a crossing, near a large vehicle,etc.).

! During calibration, do not operate elec-tric systems (moon roof, power win-dows, etc.) as they may interfere withthe calibration.

CAUTION

! When doing the circling calibra-tion, be sure to secure a widespace, and pay attention topeople and vehicles in the neigh-borhood. Do not violate any localtraffic rules while performing cir-cling calibration.

! Do not adjust the display whilethe vehicle is moving. Be sure toadjust the display only when thevehicle is stopped.

Fuel gauge

15C004

The gauge works when the ignitionswitch is on and indicates the approxi-mate quantity of fuel remaining in thetank.

Nearly full—Needle at ”F”Nearly empty—Needle at ”E”

It is a good idea to keep the tank over1/4 full.

If the fuel level approaches ”E” or the lowfuel level warning light comes on, fill thefuel tank as soon as possible.

On inclines or curves, due to the move-ment of fuel in the tank, the fuel gaugeneedle may fluctuate or the low fuel levelwarning light may come on earlier thanusual.

If the fuel tank is completely empty, themalfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fillthe fuel tank immediately.

The indicator lamp goes off after drivingseveral times. If the indicator lamp doesnot go off, contact your Toyota dealer assoon as possible.

The gauge indicates the engine coolanttemperature when the ignition switch ison. The engine operating temperaturewill vary with changes in weather andengine load.

If the needle points to the red zone orhigher, stop your vehicle and allow theengine to cool.

Your vehicle may overheat during severeoperating conditions, such as:

! Driving up a long hill on a hot day.

! Reducing speed or stopping after highspeed driving.

! Idling for a long period with the airconditioning on in stop−and−go traffic.

! Towing a trailer.

Engine coolant temperaturegauge

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

106

NOTICE

! Do not remove the thermostat inthe engine cooling system as thismay cause the engine to overheat.The thermostat is designed to con-trol the flow of coolant to keep thetemperature of the engine withinthe specified operating range.

! Do not continue driving with anoverheated engine. See ”If your ve-hicle overheats” in Section 4.

Oil pressure gauge

Idling

Normal driving

The oil pressure gauge indicates engineoil pressure when the ignition switch ison. Check it while driving to make surethe needle is in the proper range.

If the oil pressure should stay below thenormal range, pull off the road to a safeplace and stop the engine immediately.Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repairshop for assistance.

Oil pressure may not build up when theoil level is too low. The oil pressuregauge is not designed to indicate oil level,and the oil level must be checked usingthe level dipstick.

NOTICE

Do not drive the vehicle with the oilpressure below the normal range untilthe cause is fixed—it may ruin theengine.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

107

Voltmeter

The voltmeter tells whether the batteryis charged or discharged. Check itwhile the engine is running—the needleshould always indicate as shown above.

If the needle reads below or above thenormal range while the engine is running,it indicates the charging system needs im-mediate repair.

However, it is normal for the needle todrop below the normal range during en-gine starting.

Tachometer

The tachometer indicates engine speedin thousands of rpm (revolutions perminute). Use it while driving to preventengine over-revving.

Driving with the engine running too fastcauses excessive engine wear and poorfuel economy. Remember, in most casesthe slower the engine speed, the greaterthe fuel economy.

NOTICE

Do not let the indicator needle getinto the red zone. This may causesevere engine damage.

Odometer and two trip meters

This meter displays the odometer andtwo trip meters.

1. Odometer—Shows the total distancethe vehicle has been driven.

2. Two trip meters—Show two differentdistances independently driven sincethe last time each trip meter was setto zero.

You can use one trip meter to calculatethe fuel economy and the other tomeasure the distance on each trip. Alltrip meter data is cancelled if the elec-trical power source is disconnected.

3. Trip meter reset knob—Resets the twotrip meters to zero, and also changethe meter display.

When the cruise control is being used, even if you downshift the transmission by turning off the overdrive switch, engine braking will not beenabled because the cruise control is not cancelled. For ways to decrease the vehicle speed, see ”Cruise control” in this section.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

117

Your automatic transmission has a shiftlock system to minimize the possibility ofincorrect operation. This means you canonly shift out of ”P” position when thebrake pedal is depressed (with the ignitionswitch in ”ON” position and the lock re-lease button depressed).

(a) Overdrive switch

You can select either third gear (withoverdrive off) or fourth gear (with over-drive on) by pushing this switch.

To turn the overdrive off, push the switch.The ”O/D OFF” indicator light should comeon. To turn the overdrive on again, pushthe switch again. The ”O/D OFF” indicatorlight should go off.

Always drive your vehicle with the over-drive on for better fuel economy andquieter driving.

If the engine is turned off when the over-drive is off and restarted, the overdrivewill automatically be on.

When the cruise control is being used,even if you downshift the transmission bypushing and releasing the overdriveswitch, engine braking will not be enabledbecause the cruise control is not can-celled.

For ways to decrease the vehicle speed,see ”Cruise control” in this section.

(b) Normal driving

1. Start the engine as instructed in ”Howto start the engine” in Section 3. Thetransmission must be in ”P” or ”N”.

2. With your foot holding down the brakepedal, shift the selector lever to ”D”.

When the lever is in the ”D” position, theautomatic transmission system will selectthe most suitable gear for running condi-tions such as normal cruising, hill climb-ing, hard towing, etc.

Always turn the overdrive switch on forbetter fuel economy and quieter driving. Ifthe engine coolant temperature is low, thetransmission will not shift into the over-drive gear even with the overdrive switchon.

CAUTION

Never put your foot on the acceleratorpedal while shifting.

3. Release the parking brake and brakepedal. Depress the accelerator pedalslowly for smooth starting.

(c) Using engine braking

To use engine braking, you can downshiftthe transmission as follows:

! Turn off the overdrive switch. The ”O/DOFF” indicator light will come on andthe transmission will downshift to thirdgear.

! Shift into the ”2” position. The trans-mission will downshift to second gearwhen the vehicle speed drops down toor lower than following speed for se-cond gear, and more powerful enginebraking will be enabled.

When the cruise control is being used,even if you downshift the transmission byturning off the overdrive switch, enginebraking will not be enabled because thecruise control is not cancelled.

For ways to decrease the vehicle speed,see ”Cruise control” in this section.

CAUTION

Be careful when downshifting on aslippery surface. Abrupt shifting couldcause the vehicle to spin or skid.

(d) Using ”2” and ”L” positions

The ”2” and ”L” positions are used forstrong engine braking as described pre-viously.

With the selector lever in ”2” or ”L”, youcan start the vehicle in motion as with thelever in ”D”.

With the selector lever in ”2”, the vehiclewill start in first gear and automaticallyshift to second gear.

With the selector lever in ”L”, the trans-mission is engaged in first gear.

NOTICE

! Be careful not to over-rev the en-gine. Watch the tachometer to keepengine rpm from going into the redzone. The approximate maximum al-lowable speed for each position isgiven below for your reference:

km/h (mph) Transmission Transfer

! Do not continue hill climbing orhard towing for a long time in the”2” or ”L” position. This may causesevere automatic transmission dam-age from overheating. To preventsuch damage, ”D” position shouldbe used in hill climbing or hardtowing.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

119

(e) Backing up

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

2. With the brake pedal held down withyour foot, shift the selector lever to the”R” position.

NOTICE

Never shift into reverse while the ve-hicle is moving.

(f) Parking

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

2. Pull the parking brake lever up fully tosecurely apply the parking brake.

3. With the brake pedal pressed down,shift the selector lever to the ”P” posi-tion.

If the four–wheel drive control is in the”N” position while the selector lever is inthe ”P” position, the transmission willdamage and the wheels will not lock.

CAUTION

While the vehicle is moving, neverattempt to move the selector leverinto ”P” position under any circum-stances. Serious mechanical damageand loss of vehicle control may re-sult.

(g) Good driving practice

! If the transmission repeatedly shifts upand down between third gear and over-drive when climbing a gentle slope, theoverdrive switch should be turned off.Be sure to turn the switch on immedi-ately afterward.

! When towing a trailer, in order to main-tain engine braking efficiency, do notuse overdrive.

CAUTION

Always keep your foot on the brakepedal while stopped with the enginerunning. This prevents the vehiclefrom creeping.

NOTICE

Do not hold the vehicle on an up-grade with the accelerator pedal. Itcan cause the transmission to over-heat. Always use the brake pedal orparking brake.

(h) Rocking your vehicle if stuck

CAUTION

If your vehicle becomes stuck insnow, mud, sand, etc., then you mayattempt to rock the vehicle free bymoving it forward and backward. Donot attempt this procedure if peopleor objects are anywhere near the ve-hicle. During the rocking operationthe vehicle may suddenly move for-ward or backward as it becomes un-stuck, causing injury or damage tonearby people or objects.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

120

NOTICE

If you rock your vehicle, observe thefollowing precautions to prevent dam-age to the transmission and otherparts.

! Do not depress the accelerator ped-al while shifting the selector leveror before the transmission is com-pletely shifted to forward or reversegear.

! Do not race the engine and avoidspinning the wheels.

! If your vehicle remains stuck afterrocking the vehicle several times,consider other ways such as tow-ing.

(i) Driving in ”PWR” (Power) mode

In the ”PWR” mode, the transmission isshifted up and down at a higher vehiclespeed than in the Normal mode and amore powerful acceleration is achieved. Toset the ”PWR” mode, push in the drivingpattern selector button. The ”PWR” modeindicator light comes on.

For ordinary driving, Toyota recommendsusing the Normal mode to improve fueleconomy.

(j) If you cannot shift the selector le-ver out of ”P” position

If you cannot shift the selector lever fromthe ”P” position even though the brakepedal is depressed, use the shift lockoverride button. For instructions, see ”Ifyou cannot shift automatic transmissionselector lever” in Section 4.

(k) Driving in ”2nd STRT” (secondstart) mode

In the ”2nd STRT” (Second start) mode,the transmission system shifts up fromsecond gear. Use this mode when startingyour vehicle in sand, mud, ice or snow.

To set the ”2nd STRT” mode, push the”2nd” button. In the ”2nd STRT” mode, the”2nd STRT” indicator light comes on.

The ”PWR” mode is automatically can-celled when you push the ”2nd” button.

Use the four−wheel drive control leverand center differential lock button toselect the transfer and center differen-tial modes.

The “H” and “L” position of the four−wheeldrive control lever provides either lock orunlock mode of the center differential de-pending on the center differential lock but-ton position.

Four–wheel drive system—(a) Four–wheel drive control

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

121

Use the center differential lock system ifyour wheels get stuck in a ditch, or whenyou are driving on a slippery or bumpysurface. When the center differential islocked, the vehicle skid control system isautomatically turned off and the center dif-ferential lock and “VSC OFF” indicatorlights come on because the function thatcontrols engine performance interfereswith the process of freeing your wheels.

NOTICE

As soon as the center differential lockswitch is turned on, the “VSC OFF”indicator light comes on. After thewheels are out of the ditch or off theslippery or bumpy surface, turn thecenter differential lock switch off.Make sure the center differential lockindicator light and vehicle skid con-trol system off indicator light turn off.

“H” (high speed position, center differ-ential unlocked): Lever at “H”, center dif-ferential lock button left out

Use this for normal driving on all types ofroads, from dry hard−surfaced roads towet, icy or snow−covered roads. Thisposition gives greater economy, quietestride, least wear and better vehicle control.

“H” (high speed position, center differ-ential locked): Lever at “H”, center differ-ential lock button pushed in

Use this for greater traction when youexperience a loss of power, such aswheel slipping, in the center differentialunlock mode.

“N” (neutral position): Lever at “N”

No power is delivered to the wheels. Thevehicle must be stopped.

“L” (low speed position, center differen-tial unlocked): Lever at “L”, center differ-ential lock button left out

Use this for maximum power and traction.Use this for climbing or descending steephills, off−road driving, and hard pulling insand or mud.

In this mode, the braking feeling that oc-curs when the wheels are negotiating asharp corner is further reduced than in the“L” (low position, center differential locked)mode.

“L” (low speed position, center differen-tial locked): Lever at “L”, center differen-tial lock button pushed in.

Use this for maximum power and traction.Use this for hard pulling in situations thevehicle cannot negotiate even in the “L”(low speed position, center differential un−locked) mode. Also, using this mode whendriving down steep off−road inclines willhelp contribute to increased vehicle stabil-ity.

The indicator light tells when the differen-tial lock is engaged. Note that the differ-ential is not still locked as long as theindicator light remains off.

If the indicator light does not go off whenyou push out the center differential lockbutton, drive straight ahead while acceler-ating or decelerating, or drive in reverse.

See “(b) Shifting procedure” for further in-structions.

Advice for driving on slippery roads in“L” (low speed position) mode

If you shift the four−wheel drive controllever to “L” and the automatic transmis-sion lever to “2” when you drive in steepoff−road areas, the output of the brakecan be controlled effectively by the activetraction control system, which assists thedriver to control the driving power of 4wheels.

Use the “L” position of the automatictransmission lever for maximum powerand traction when your wheels get stuckor when you drive down a steep incline.In the following cases, the output of thebrake can be controlled by the active trac-tion control system if the engine speed isunder 3,000 rpm (normally engine speedis under 3,000 rpm when the wheels getunstuck).

! The four−wheel drive control lever inthe “L” position and the automatictransmission lever in the “L” position orthe automatic transmission lever in the“D” or “2” with the transmission down-shifting to the first gear

! The four−wheel drive control lever inthe “L” position and the automatictransmission lever in the “R” position

(As for the automatic transmission leverpositions, see “Automatic transmission” inthis section.)

(b) Shifting procedureSHIFTING BETWEEN “H” (UNLOCKED)AND “H” (LOCKED)

To shift between unlock and lockmodes in “H”, push the center differentiallock button.

SHIFTING BETWEEN “L” (UNLOCKED)AND “L” (LOCKED)

To shift between unlock and lockmodes in “L”, push the center differentiallock button.

SHIFTING BETWEEN “H” AND “L”

Stop the vehicle, put the transmission into“N” and move the four−wheel drive controllever.

CAUTION

Never move the four–wheel drive con-trol lever if wheels are slipping. Waituntil the wheels have stopped slip-ping or spinning before shifting.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

123

Parking brake

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

To set: Pull up the lever. For better hold-ing power, first depress the brake pedaland hold it while setting the parkingbrake.To release: Pull up the lever slightly (1),press the lock release button (2), and low-er (3).

To remind you that the parking brake isset, the parking brake reminder light inthe instrument panel remains on until yourelease the parking brake.

CAUTION

Before driving, be sure the parkingbrake is fully released and the park-ing brake reminder light is off.

Cruise control The cruise control allows you to cruisethe vehicle at a desired speed over 40km/h (25 mph) even with your foot offthe accelerator pedal.

Your cruising speed can be maintained upor down grades within the limits of engineperformance, although a slight speedchange may occur when driving up ordown the grades. On steeper hills, agreater speed change will occur so it isbetter to drive without the cruise control.

When the cruise control is on, the drivingpattern of the automatic transmission isfixed in the normal position, regardless ofthe position of the driving pattern selectorswitch.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

124

CAUTION

! To help maintain maximum con-trol of your vehicle, do not usethe cruise control when drivingin heavy or varying traffic, or onslippery (rainy, icy or snow–cov-ered) or winding roads.

! Avoid vehicle speed increaseswhen driving downhill. If the ve-hicle speed is too fast in relationto the cruise control set speed,cancel the cruise control thendownshift the transmission touse engine braking to slowdown.

TURNING ON THE SYSTEM

To operate the cruise control, push the”CRUISE ON·OFF” switch. This turns thesystem on. The indicator light in theinstrument panel shows that you can nowset the vehicle at a desired cruisingspeed. Another push on the switch willturn the system completely off.

CAUTION

To avoid accidental cruise control en-gagement, keep the ”CRUISE ON·OFF”switch off when not using the cruisecontrol.

SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED

The transmission must be in ”D” beforeyou set the cruise control speed.

Bring your vehicle to the desired speed,push the lever down in the ”SET/COAST”direction and release it. This sets the ve-hicle at that speed.

If the speed is not satisfactory, tap thelever up for a faster speed, or tap it downfor a slower speed. Each tap changes theset speed by 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph). You cannow take your foot off the acceleratorpedal.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

125

If you need acceleration—for example,when passing—depress the acceleratorpedal enough for the vehicle to exceedthe set speed. When you release it, thevehicle will return to the speed set priorto the acceleration.

CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED

You can cancel the preset speed by:

a. Pulling the control lever in the”CANCEL” direction and releasing it.

b. Depressing the brake pedal.

If the vehicle speed falls below about 40km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will auto-matically cancel out.

If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10mph) below the preset speed, the presetspeed will also automatically cancel out.

If the preset speed automatically cancelsout other than for the above cases, haveyour vehicle checked by your Toyota deal-er at the earliest opportunity.

RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED

Push the lever up in the ”RES/ACC” direc-tion and hold it. Release the lever whenthe desired speed is attained. While thelever is held up, the vehicle will graduallygain speed.

However, a faster way to reset is to ac-celerate the vehicle and then push thecontrol lever down in the ”SET/COAST”direction.

RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED

Push the lever down in the ”SET/COAST”direction and hold it. Release the leverwhen the desired speed is attained. Whilethe lever is held down, the vehicle speedwill gradually decrease.

However, a faster way to reset is to de-press the brake pedal and then push thecontrol lever down in the ”SET/COAST”direction.

Even if you downshift the transmission byturning off the overdrive switch, with thecruise control on, engine braking will notbe applied because the cruise control isnot cancelled. To decrease the vehiclespeed, reset to a slower speed with thecruise control lever or depress the brakepedal. If you use the brake pedal, cruisecontrol is cancelled.

RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED

If the preset speed is cancelled by pullingthe control lever or by depressing thebrake pedal, pushing the lever up in the”RES/ACC” direction will restore the speedset prior to cancellation.

However, once the vehicle speed falls be-low about 40 km/h (25 mph), the presetspeed will not be resumed.

CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING

If the ”CRUISE” indicator light in theinstrument cluster flashes when using thecruise control, press the ”CRUISEON·OFF” button to turn the system off andthen press it again to turn it on.

If any of the following conditions then oc-curs, there is some trouble in the cruisecontrol system.

! The indicator light does not come on.

! The indicator light flashes again.

! The indicator light goes out after itcomes on.

If this is the case, contact your Toyotadealer and have your vehicle inspected.

Active traction control system indicatorlight

The active traction control system auto-matically helps control the spinning of4 wheels which may occur when accel-erating on slippery road surfaces, bycontrolling the output of the brake andengine. Thus, the system assists driverto control the driving power of 4wheels. When you turn the ignitionswitch on, the active traction controlsystem always turns on automatically,and the active traction control indicatorlight will come on. The indicator lightwill go off after a few seconds.

When active traction control is applied,the active traction control system indi-cator light blinks.

You may hear a sound in the enginecompartment for a few seconds when theengine is started or just after the vehicleis started. This means that the activetraction control system is in the self−check mode, and does not indicate mal-function. When the active traction controlsystem is operating, you may feel vibra-tion or noise of your vehicle, caused byoperation of the brakes. This indicates thesystem is functioning properly.

When getting the vehicle out of mud ornew snow, etc. the active traction controlsystem will help operate to prevent thewheels from spinning.

Active traction control system failurewarning

This light warns when there is a problemsomewhere in the active traction controlsystem.

If the “VSC/TRAC” warning light comeson, have your vehicle checked by yourToyota dealer as soon as possible.

The brake actuator temperature increasesduring the active traction control systemor vehicle stability control system operat-ing. If the brake actuator temperature be-comes too high while the active tractioncontrol system or vehicle stability controlsystem is operating, a buzzer will start tosound intermittently to indicate that theactive traction control system can no lon-ger operate. In this case, immediately stopyour vehicle at a safe place. If the systemcontinues to operate, the buzzer soundchanges from intermittent to continuous.(The continuous buzzer sounds for about3 seconds.) At the time, the “VSC/TRAC”warning light will come on and the tractioncontrol system temporarily stops operatingin order to protect the brake actuator. (Al-though the active traction control systemdoes not operate, there is no problem tocontinue your driving.) The system will beautomatically restored after a short timeand “VSC/TRAC” warning light goes off ifthe accelerator pedal is released.

When the “ABS” warning light come on,the active traction control system is notoperating.

The “VSC/TRAC” warning light will comeon when the ignition key is turned “ON”,and will go off after a few seconds.

The “VSC/TRAC” warning light may stayon for 60 seconds after the ignition keyis turned to “ON” position. It is normal ifit goes off after a few seconds.

Depressing the brake pedal repeatedlymay turn on the “VSC/TRAC” warninglight. It is normal if it goes off after a fewseconds.

When the “VSC/TRAC” warning lightcomes on the active traction control sys-tem is not operating, but there is no prob-lem if you continue to drive.

In the following cases, contact your Toyotadealer:

! The “VSC/TRAC” warning light does notcome on after the ignition key is turned“ON”.

! The “VSC/TRAC” remains on after theignition key is turned “ON”.

CAUTION

Under certain slippery road condi-tions, full traction of the vehicles andpower to 4 wheels may not be main-tained, even though the active trac-tion control system is in operation.Do not drive the vehicle under anyspeed or maneuvering conditionswhich will cause the vehicle to losetraction. In situations where the roadsurface is covered with ice or snow,your vehicle should be fitted withsnow tires or tire chains.

Your audio system works when the ignitionkey is in the ”ACC” or ”ON” position.

TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF

Push ”PWR·VOL” to turn the audio systemon and off.

Push ”AM”, ”FM1·2”, ”TAPE” or ”CD” toturn on that function without pushing”PWR·VOL”.

You can turn on each player by insertinga cassette tape or compact disc.

You can turn off each player by ejectingthe cassette tape or compact disc. If theaudio system was previously off, then theentire audio system will be turned offwhen you eject the cassette tape or com-pact disc. If the another function was pre-viously playing, it will come on again.

SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS

Push ”AM”, ”FM1·2”, ”TAPE” or ”CD” if thesystem is already on but you want toswitch from one function to another.

TONE AND BALANCE

For details about your system’s tone andbalance controls, see the description ofyour own system.

Tone

How good an audio program sounds toyou is largely determined by the mix ofthe treble, midrange, and bass levels. Infact, different kinds of music and vocalprograms usually sound better with differ-ent mixes of treble, midrange, and bass.

Balance

A good balance of the left and right stereochannels and of the front and rear soundlevels is also important.

Keep in mind that if you are listening toa stereo recording or broadcast, changingthe right/left balance will increase the vol-ume of one group of sounds while de-creasing the volume of another.

RADIO RECEPTION

Usually, a problem with radio receptiondoes not mean there is a problem withyour radio—it is just the normal result ofconditions outside the vehicle.

For example, nearby buildings and terraincan interfere with FM reception. Powerlines or telephone wires can interfere withAM signals. And of course, radio signalshave a limited range. The farther you arefrom a station, the weaker its signal willbe. In addition, reception conditionschange constantly as your vehicle moves.

Car audio system operatinghints

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

141

Here are some common reception prob-lems that probably do not indicate a prob-lem with your radio:

FM

Fading and drifting stations—Generally, theeffective range of FM is about 40 km (25miles). Once outside this range, you maynotice fading and drifting, which increasewith the distance from the radio transmit-ter. They are often accompanied by distor-tion.

Multi−path—FM signals are reflective,making it possible for two signals to reachyour antenna at the same time. If thishappens, the signals will cancel each oth-er out, causing a momentary flutter orloss of reception.

Static and fluttering—These occur whensignals are blocked by buildings, trees, orother large objects. Increasing the basslevel may reduce static and fluttering.

Station swapping—If the FM signal youare listening to is interrupted or weak-ened, and there is another strong stationnearby on the FM band, your radio maytune in the second station until the origi-nal signal can be picked up again.

AM

Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected bythe upper atmosphere—especially at night.These reflected signals can interfere withthose received directly from the radio sta-tion, causing the radio station to soundalternately strong and weak.

Station interference—When a reflected sig-nal and a signal received directly from aradio station are very nearly the samefrequency, they can interfere with eachother, making it difficult to hear the broad-cast.

Static—AM is easily affected by externalsources of electrical noise, such as hightension power lines, lightening, or electri-cal motors. This results in static.

CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYERAND TAPES

For the best performance for your cas-sette player and tapes:

Clean the tape head and other parts regu-larly.

" A dirty tape head or tape path candecrease sound quality and tangle yourcassette tapes. The easiest way toclean them is by using a cleaning tape.(A wet type is recommended.)

Use high−quality cassettes.

" Low−quality cassette tapes can causemany problems, including poor sound,inconsistent playing speed, andconstant auto−reversing. They can alsoget stuck or tangled in the cassetteplayer.

" Do not use a cassette if it has beendamaged or tangled or if its label ispeeling off.

" Do not leave a cassette in the playerif you are not listening to it, especiallyif it is hot outside.

" Store cassettes in their cases and outof direct sunlight.

" Avoid using cassettes with a total play-ing time longer than 100 minutes (50minutes per side). The tape used inthese cassettes is thin and could getstuck or tangled in the cassette player.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

142

CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISCPLAYER AND DISCS

" Use only compact discs labeled asshown. CD−R (CD−Recordable), CD−RW (CD−Re−writable) and personalcomputer use CD−ROMs may not beplayable on your compact disc player.

" Your compact disc player is intendedfor use with 12cm (4.7 in.) discs only.

" Extremely high temperatures can keepyour compact disc player from working.On hot days, use the air conditioningto cool the vehicle interior before youlisten to a disc.

" Bumpy roads or other vibrations maymake your compact disc player skip.

" If moisture gets into your compact discplayer, you may not hear any soundeven though your compact disc playerappears to be working. Remove thedisc from the player and wait until itdries.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

143

" Your automatic changer or compactdisc player cannot play special shapedor low−quality compact discs such asthose shown here. Do not use them asthe player could be damaged.

" Handle compact discs carefully, espe-cially when you are inserting them.Hold them on the edge and do notbend them. Avoid getting fingerprintson them, particularly on the shiny side.

" Dirt, scrapes, warping, pin holes, orother disc damage could cause theplayer to skip or to repeat a section ofa track. (To see a pin hole, hold thedisc up to the light.)

" Remove discs from the compact discplayer when you are not listening tothem. Store them in their plastic casesaway from moisture, heat, and directsunlight.

To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with asoft, lint−free cloth that has been damp-ened with water. Wipe in a straight linefrom the center to the edge of the disc(not in circles). Dry it with another soft,lint−free cloth. Do not use a conventionalrecord cleaner or anti−static device.

CAUTION

Compact disc players use an invisiblelaser beam which could cause hazard-ous radiation exposure if directed out-side the unit. Be sure to operate theplayer correctly.

—Operating tips! To cool off your Toyota after it has

been parked in the hot sun, drive withthe windows open for a few minutes.This vents the hot air, allowing the airconditioning to cool the interior morequickly.

! Make sure the air intake grilles in frontof the windshield are not blocked (byleaves or snow, for example).

! On humid days, do not blow cold airon the windshield. The windshield couldfog up because of the difference in airtemperature on the inside and outsideof the windshield.

! Keep the area under the front seatsclear to allow air to circulate through-out the vehicle.

! On cold days, move the fan speed to”HI” for a minute to help clear the in-take ducts of snow or moisture. Thiscan reduce the amount of fogging onthe windows.

! When driving on dusty roads, close allwindows. If dust thrown up by the ve-hicle is still drawn into the vehicle afterclosing the windows, it is recommendedthat the air intake selector be set toFRESH and the fan speed selector toany setting except ”OFF”.

! If following another vehicle on a dustyroad, or driving in windy and dustyconditions, it is recommended that theair intake selector be temporarily set toRECIRCULATE, which will close off theoutside passage and prevent outsideair and dust from entering the vehicleinterior.

Heating

For best results, set controls to:

Fan speed—”AUTO”Temperature—To the desired

temperatureAir intake—FRESH (outside air)Air flow—”AUTO”Air conditioning—OFF


When the ”A/C” button is not pressed in,turning the fan speed selector knob to”OFF” or pressing in the ”A/C” buttonturns off the air conditioning system.

! For quick heating, select recirculatedair for a few minutes. To keep thewindows from fogging, select fresh af-ter the vehicle interior has been war-med.

! Press the ”A/C” button on for dehumidi-fied heating.

! Choose floor/windshield air flow to heatthe vehicle interior while defrosting ordefogging the windshield.

Off−road vehicle precautionsThis vehicle belongs to the utility ve-hicle class, which has higher groundclearance and narrower tread in relationto the height of its center of gravity tomake it capable of performing in a widevariety of off−road applications. Specif-ic design characteristics give it a high-er center of gravity than ordinary pas-senger cars. This vehicle designfeature causes this type of vehicle tobe more likely to rollover. And, utilityvehicles have a significantly higher rol-lover rate than other types of vehicles.An advantage of the higher groundclearance is a better view of the roadallowing you to anticipate problems. Itis not designed for cornering at thesame speeds as ordinary passengercars any more than low−slung sportscars designed to perform satisfactorilyunder off−road conditions. Therefore,sharp turns at excessive speeds maycause rollover.

CAUTION

Always observe the following precau-tions to minimize the risk of seriouspersonal injury or damage to your ve-hicle:

! In a rollover crash, an unbelted per-son is significantly more likely todie than a person wearing a seatbelt. Therefore, the driver and allpassengers should fasten their seatbelts whenever the vehicle is mov-ing.

! Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-vers, if at all possible. Failure tooperate this vehicle correctly mayresult in loss of control or vehiclerollover causing death or serious in-jury.

! Avoid loading any items on the roofthat will raise the vehicle’s centerof gravity.

! Always slow down in gusty cross-winds. Because of its profile andhigher center of gravity, your ve-hicle is more sensitive to sidewinds than an ordinary passengercar. Slowing down will allow youto have better control.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

176

! When driving off−road or in ruggedterrain, do not drive at excessivespeeds, jump, make sharp turns,strike objects, etc. This may causeloss of control or vehicle rollovercausing death or serious injury.You are also risking expensive dam-age to your vehicle’s suspensionand chassis.

! Do not drive horizontally acrosssteep slopes. Driving straight up orstraight down is preferred. Yourvehicle (or any similar off−road ve-hicle) can tip over sideways muchmore easily than forward or back-ward.

Break−in periodDrive gently and avoid high speeds.

Your vehicle does not need an elaboratebreak−in. But following a few simple tipsfor the first 1600 km (1000 miles) can addto the future economy and long life ofyour vehicle:

! Do not drive over 88 km/h (55 mph).

! Run the engine at moderate speed be-tween 2000 and 4000 rpm.

! Avoid full−throttle starts.

! Try to avoid hard stops during the first300 km (200 miles).

! Do not drive for a long time at anysingle speed, either fast or slow.

! Do not tow a trailer during the first 800km (500 miles).

FuelFUEL TYPE

Your new vehicle must use only un-leaded gasoline.

To help prevent gas station mix−ups, yourToyota has a smaller fuel tank opening.The special nozzle on pumps with un-leaded fuel will fit it, but the larger stan-dard nozzle on pumps with leaded gas willnot.

At a minimum, the gasoline you useshould meet the specifications of ASTMD4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB 3.5−M93in Canada.

NOTICE

Do not use leaded gasoline. Use ofleaded gasoline will cause the three−way catalytic converter to lose its ef-fectiveness, the emission control sys-tem to function improperly, and dam-age to the engine. Also, this can in-crease maintenance costs.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

177

OCTANE RATINGSelect Octane Rating 91 (Research Oc-tane Number 96) or higher for optimumengine performance. However, if suchpremium type cannot be obtained, youmay temporarily use unleaded gasolinewith an Octane Rating as low as 87(Research Octane Number 91).

Use of unleaded gasoline with an octanerating or research octane number lowerthan stated above will cause persistentheavy knocking. If it is severe, this willlead to engine damage.

If your engine knocks...

If you detect heavy knocking even whenusing the recommended fuel, or if youhear steady knocking while holding asteady speed on level roads, consult yourToyota dealer.

However, now and then, you may noticelight knocking for a short time while accel-erating or driving up hills. This is no needof concern.

GASOLINE CONTAINING DETERGENTADDITIVESToyota recommends the use of gasolinethat contains detergent additives toavoid build−up of engine deposits.

However, all gasoline sold in the U.S.contains detergent additives to keep cleanand/or clean intake systems.

QUALITY GASOLINEAutomotive manufacturers in the U.S.,Europe and Japan have developed aspecification for quality fuel namedWorld−Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) thatis expected to be applied world wide.The WWFC consists of three categoriesthat depend on required emission lev-els. In the U.S., category 3 has beenadopted. The WWFC improves air quali-ty by providing for better emissions invehicle fleets, and customer satisfactionthrough better vehicle performance.

CLEANER BURNING GASOLINECleaner burning gasoline, including re-formulated gasoline that contains oxy-genates such as ethanol or MTBE isavailable in many areas.

Toyota recommends the use of cleanerburning gasoline and appropriately blendedreformulated gasoline. These types of gas-oline provide excellent vehicle perfor-mance, reduce vehicle emissions, and im-prove air quality.

OXYGENATES IN GASOLINEToyota allows the use of oxygenateblended gasoline where the oxygenatecontent is up to 10% ethanol or 15%MTBE. If you use gasohol in your Toyota,be sure that it has an octane rating no low-er than 87.

Toyota does not recommend the use ofgasoline containing methanol.

Three−way catalytic converter

The three−way catalytic converter is theemission control devices installed inthe exhaust system.

Its purpose is to reduce pollutants in theexhaust gas.

CAUTION

! Keep people and combustiblematerials away from the exhaustpipe while the engine is running.The exhaust gas is very hot.

! Do not idle or park your vehicleover anything that might burneasily such as grass, leaves, pa-per or rags.

NOTICE

A large amount of unburned gasesflowing into the three−way catalyticconverter may cause it to overheatand create a fire hazard. To preventthis and other damage, observe thefollowing precautions:

! Use only unleaded gasoline.

! Do not drive with an extremely lowfuel level; running out of fuel couldcause the engine to misfire, creat-ing an excessive load on the three−way catalytic converter.

! Do not allow the engine to run atidle speed for more than 20 min-utes.

! Avoid racing the engine.

! Do not push−start or pull−start yourvehicle.

! Do not turn off the ignition whilethe vehicle is moving.

! Keep your engine in good runningorder. Malfunctions in the engineelectrical system, electric ignitionsystem or fuel system could causean extremely high three−way cata-lytic converter temperature.

! If the engine becomes difficult tostart or stalls frequently, take yourvehicle in for a check−up as soonas possible. Remember, your Toyotadealer knows your vehicle and itsthree−way catalytic converter sys-tem best.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

180

! To ensure that the three−way cata-lytic converter and the entire emis-sion control system operate proper-ly, your vehicle must receive theperiodic inspections required by theToyota Maintenance Schedule. Forscheduled maintenance information,refer to the ”Scheduled MaintenanceGuide” or ”Owner’s Manual Supple-ment”.

Engine exhaust cautions

CAUTION

! Avoid inhaling the engine ex-haust. It contains carbon monox-ide, which is a colorless andodorless gas. It can cause un-consciousness or even death.

! Make sure the exhaust systemhas no holes or loose connec-tions. The system should bechecked from time to time. If youhit something, or notice achange in the sound of the ex-haust, have the system checkedimmediately.

! Do not run the engine in a ga-rage or enclosed area except forthe time needed to drive the ve-hicle in or out. The exhaustgases cannot escape, makingthis a particularly dangerous situ-ation.

! Do not remain for a long time ina parked vehicle with the enginerunning. If it is unavoidable, how-ever, do so only in an uncon-fined area and adjust the heatingor cooling system to force out-side air into the vehicle.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

181

! Keep the back door and quarterwindows closed while driving. Anopen or unsealed back door andquarter windows may cause ex-haust gases to be drawn into thevehicle.

! To allow proper operation of yourvehicle’s ventilation system, keepthe inlet grilles in front of thewindshield clear of snow, leaves,or other obstructions.

! If you smell exhaust fumes inthe vehicle, drive with the win-dows open and the back doorclosed. Have the cause immedi-ately located and corrected.

FUNCTIONS OF ENGINE OIL

Engine oil has the primary functions oflubricating and cooling the inside of theengine, and plays a major role in main-taining the engine in proper working order.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION

It is normal that an engine should con-sume some engine oil during normalengine operation. The causes of oilconsumption in a normal engine are asfollows.

! Oil is used to lubricate pistons, pistonrings and cylinders. A thin film of oilis left on the cylinder wall when a pis-ton moves downwards in the cylinder.High negative pressure generated whenthe vehicle is decelerating sucks someof this oil into the combustion chamber.This oil as well as some part of the oilfilm left on the cylinder wall is burnedby the high temperature combustiongases during the combustion process.

! Oil is also used to lubricate the stemsof the intake valves. Some of this oilis sucked into the combustion chambertogether with the intake air and isburned along with the fuel. High tem-perature exhaust gases also burn theoil used to lubricate the exhaust valvestems.

The amount of engine oil consumed de-pends on the viscosity of the oil, thequality of the oil and the conditions thevehicle is driven under.

More oil is consumed by high−speed driv-ing and frequent acceleration and decel-eration.

A new engine consumes more oil, sinceits pistons, piston rings and cylinder wallshave not become conditioned.

When judging the amount of oil con-sumption, note that the oil may becomediluted and make it difficult to judgethe true level accurately.

Facts about engine oilconsumption

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

182

As an example, if a vehicle is used forrepeated short trips, and consumes a nor-mal amount of oil, the dipstick may notshow any drop in the oil level at all, evenafter 1000 km (600 miles) or more. Thisis because the oil is gradually becomingdiluted with fuel or moisture, making itappear that the oil level has not changed.

The diluting ingredients evaporate outwhen the vehicle is then driven at highspeeds, as on an expressway, making itappear that oil is excessively consumedafter driving at high speeds.

IMPORTANCE OF ENGINE OIL LEVELCHECK

One of the most important points in prop-er vehicle maintenance is to keep the en-gine oil at the optimum level so that oilfunction will not be impaired. Therefore, itis essential that the oil level be checkedregularly. Toyota recommends that the oillevel be checked every time you refuelthe vehicle.

NOTICE

Failure to check the oil level regularlycould lead to serious engine troubledue to insufficient oil.

For detailed information on oil level check,see ”Checking the engine oil level” in Sec-tion 7−2.

Your engine is fitted with iridium−tippedspark plugs.

NOTICE

Use only iridium−tipped spark plugsand do not adjust gaps for your en-gine performance and smooth drivabil-ity.

Brake systemBRAKE SYSTEM

This brake system has two independenthydraulic circuits. If either circuit shouldfail, the other will still work. However, thepedal will be harder to press, and yourstopping distance will be longer. Also, thebrake system warning light may come on.

CAUTION

Do not drive your vehicle with only asingle brake system. Have yourbrakes fixed immediately.

BRAKE BOOSTER

The brake booster uses brake fluid pres-surized by the pump to power−assist thebrakes. If the brake booster fails duringdriving, the brake system warning lightcomes on and buzzer sound continuously.In this case, the brakes may not workproperly. If they do not work well, depressthe brake pedal firmly. If the brake systemwarning light comes on, immediately stopyour vehicle and contact your Toyota deal-er.

The brake system warning light may stayon for about 60 seconds after the ignitionkey is turned to “ON” position. It is nor-mal if the light turns off after a while.

Depressing the brake pedal repeatedlymay turn on the brake system warninglight and buzzer. It is normal if the lightturns off and the buzzer stops soundingafter a few seconds.

You may hear a small sound in the enginecompartment after the engine is started orthe brake pedal is depressed repeatedly.This is a pump pulsating sound of thebrake system, and it is not a malfunction.

CAUTION

! Do not pump the brake pedal if theengine stalls. Each push on thepedal uses up your brake fluidpressure reserve.

! Even if the power assist is com-pletely lost, the brakes will stillwork. But you will have to push thepedal hard, much harder than nor-mal. And your braking distance willbe longer.

ANTI−LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (with “ABS” warning light)

The anti−lock brake system is designedto automatically help prevent lock−up ofthe wheels during a sudden braking orbraking on slippery road surfaces. Thisassists in providing stability and steer-ing performance of the vehicle underthese circumstances.

Effective way to press the ABS brakepedal: When the anti−lock brake systemfunction is in action, you may feel thebrake pedal pulsating and hear a noise.In this situation, to let the anti−lockbrake system work for you, just hold thebrake pedal down more firmly. Do notpump the brake in a panic stop. Thiswill result in reduced braking perfor-mance.

The anti−lock brake system becomes op-erative after the vehicle has acceleratedto a speed in excess of approximately 10km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when thevehicle decelerates to a speed belowapproximately 5 km/h (3 mph).

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

184

Depressing the brake pedal on slipperyroad surfaces such as on the manholecover, the steel plate under the construc-tion, joints in the bridge, etc. on a rainyday tends to activate the anti−lock brakesystem.

You may hear a click or motor sound inthe engine compartment for a few secondswhen the engine is started or just afterthe vehicle is started. This means that theanti−lock brake system is in the selfcheck mode, and does not indicate a mal-function.

When the anti−lock brake system is ac-tivated, the following conditions mayoccur. They do not indicate a malfunc-tion of the system:

! You may hear the anti−lock brake sys-tem operating and feel the brake pedalpulsating and the vibrations of the bodyand steering wheel. You may also hearthe motor sound in the engine compart-ment even after the vehicle is stopped.

! At the end of the anti−lock brake sys-tem activation, the brake pedal maymove a little forward.

CAUTION

Do not overestimate the anti−lockbrake system: Although the anti−lockbrake system assists in providing ve-hicle control, it is still important todrive with all due care and maintaina moderate speed and safe distancefrom the vehicle in front of you, be-cause there are limits to the vehiclestability and effectiveness of steeringwheel operation even with the anti−lock brake system on.

If tires grip performance exceeds itscapability, or if hydroplaning occursduring high speed driving in the rain,the anti−lock brake system does notprovide vehicle control.

Anti−lock brake system is not de-signed to shorten the stopping dis-tance: Always drive at the moderatespeed and maintain a safe distancefrom the vehicle in front of you.Compared with vehicles without ananti−lock brake system, your vehiclemay require a longer stopping dis-tance in the following cases:

! Driving on rough, gravel or snow−covered roads.

! Driving with tire chains installed.

! Driving over the steps such as thejoints on the road.

! Driving on roads where the roadsurface is pitted or has other differ-ences in surface height.

Install all 4 tires of specified size atappropriate pressure: The anti−lockbrake system detects vehicle speedsusing the speed sensors for respec-tive wheels’ turning speeds. The useof tires other than specified may failto detect the accurate turning speed,resulting in a longer stopping dis-tance.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

“ABS” warning light

The light comes on when the ignitionkey is turned to the “ON” position. Ifthe anti−lock brake system and thebrake assist system work properly, thelight turns off after a few seconds.Thereafter, if either of the systems mal-functions, the light comes on.

When the “ABS” warning light is on (andthe brake system warning light is off), theanti−lock brake system, the brake assistsystem, the vehicle skid control systemand/or active traction control system do/does not operate, but the brake systemstill operates conventionally.

When the “ABS” warning light is on (andthe brake system warning light is off), theanti−lock brake system does not operateso that the wheels could lock up duringa sudden braking or braking on slipperyroad surfaces.

If either of the following conditions oc-curs, this indicates a malfunction some-where in the parts monitored by thewarning light system. Contact yourToyota dealer as soon as possible toservice the vehicle.

! The light does not come on when theignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-tion, or remains on.

! The light comes on while you are driv-ing.


CAUTION

If the “ABS” warning light remains ontogether with the brake system warn-ing light, immediately stop your ve-hicle at a safe place and contact yourToyota dealer.


Either of the following conditions mayoccur, but do not indicate the malfunc-tion.

! The light may stay on for about 60seconds after the ignition key is turnedto “ON” position. It is normal if it turnsoff after a while.

! Depressing the brake pedal repeatedlymay turn on the light. It is normal if itturns off after a few seconds.

DRUM−IN−DISC TYPE PARKING BRAKESYSTEM

Your vehicle has a drum−in−disc typeparking brake system. This type of brakesystem needs bedding−down of the brakeshoes periodically or whenever the parkingbrake shoes and/or drums are replaced.

Have your Toyota dealer perform the bed-ding−down.

BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM

When you slam the brakes on, thebrake assist system judges as an emer-gency stop and provides more powerfulbraking for a driver who cannot holddown the brake pedal firmly.

When you slam the brakes on, more pow-erful braking will be applied. At this time,you may hear a sound in the enginecompartment and feel the vibrations of thebrake pedal. This does not indicate a mal-function.

The brake assist system becomes opera-tive after the vehicle has accelerated toa speed in excess of approximately 10km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when thevehicle decelerates to a speed belowapproximately 5 km/h (3 mph).

The brake assist system may not work forabout 60 seconds after the engine isstarted.

For an explanation of this system’s warn-ing light, see “Service reminder indicatorsand warning buzzers” in Section 1−5.

Brake pad wear limit indicators

The brake pad wear limit indicators onyour disc brakes give a warning noisewhen the brake pads are worn to wherereplacement is required.

If you hear a squealing or scraping noisewhile driving, have the brake padschecked and replaced by your Toyotadealer as soon as possible. Expensive ro-tor damage can result if the pads are notreplaced when necessary.

Luggage stowage precautionsWhen stowing luggage or cargo in or onthe vehicle, observe the following:

! Put luggage or cargo in the luggagecompartment when at all possible. Besure all items are secured in place.

! Be careful to keep the vehicle bal-anced. Locating the weight as far for-ward as possible helps maintain thebalance.

! For better fuel economy, do not carryunneeded weight.

CAUTION

! To prevent luggage or packagesfrom sliding forward during brak-ing, do not stack anything in theluggage compartment higher thanthe seatbacks.

! Do not place anything on theflattened seat or it may slide for-ward during braking.

! Never allow anyone to ride in theluggage compartment. It is notdesigned for passengers. Theyshould ride in their seats withtheir seat belts properly fastened.Otherwise, they are much morelikely to suffer serious bodily in-jury, in the event of sudden brak-ing or a collision.

! Do not place anything on theluggage cover. Such items maybe thrown about and possibly in-jure people in the vehicle duringsudden braking or an accident.Secure all items in a safe place.

! Do not drive with objects left ontop of the instrument panel. Theymay interfere with the driver’sfield of view. Or they may moveduring sharp vehicle accelerationor turning, and impair the driv-er’s control of the vehicle. In anaccident they may injure the ve-hicle occupants.

NOTICE

CAUTION

! Do not allow more than one per-son to get on the rear step bum-per at a time. It is designed foronly one person.

! Never drive the vehicle with any-one on the rear step bumper.

Limited−slip differentialSome Toyotas are equipped with a lim-ited−slip differential. If one of the rearwheels begins to spin, the limited−slip dif-ferential is designed to aid traction byautomatically transmitting driving force tothe other rear wheel. If you are not surewhether your vehicle is equipped with one,you can ask your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION

Do not start or run the engine whileyour vehicle is supported by a jack.The vehicle could be driven off thejack and could pose a danger or re-sult in serious injury.

NOTICE

Use only a spare tire of the samesize, construction and load capacityas the original tires on your Toyotabecause damage to the limited−slipdifferential could possibly occur withanother tire type.

Suspension and chassis

CAUTION

Do not modify the suspension/chassiswith lift kits, spacers, springs, etc. Itcan cause dangerous handling charac-teristics, resulting in loss of control.

Types of tiresDetermine what kind of tires your ve-hicle is originally equipped with.

1. Summer tires

Summer tires are high−speed capabilitytires best suited to highway driving underdry conditions.

Since summer tires do not have the sametraction performance as snow tires, sum-mer tires are inadequate for driving onsnow−covered or icy roads. For driving onsnow−covered or icy roads, we recom-mend using snow tires. If installing snowtires, be sure to replace all four tires.

2. All season tires

All season tires are designed to providebetter traction in snow and to be adequatefor driving in most winter conditions, aswell as for use all year round.

All season tires, however, do not haveadequate traction performance comparedwith snow tires in heavy or loose snow.Also, all season tires fall short in accel-eration and handling performancecompared with summer tires in highwaydriving.

CAUTION

! Do not mix summer and all sea-son tires on your vehicle as thiscan cause dangerous handlingcharacteristics, resulting in lossof control.

! Do not use tire other than themanufacturer’s designated tires,and never mix tires or wheels ofthe sizes different from the origi-nally equipped tires and wheels.

See ”If your vehicle will not start” in Sec-tion 4.

How to start the engine–(a) Before cranking

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

194

NOTICE

! Do not crank for more than 30 se-conds at a time. This may overheatthe starter and wiring systems.

! Do not race a cold engine.

! If the engine becomes difficult tostart or stalls frequently, have theengine checked immediately.

! Always slow down in gusty crosswinds.This will allow you much better control.

! Drive slowly onto curbs and, if pos-sible, at a right angle. Avoid drivingonto high, sharp−edged objects andother road hazards. Failure to do socan lead to severe tire damage result-ing in tire bursts.

! When parking on a hill, turn the frontwheels until they touch the curb sothat the vehicle will not roll. Apply theparking brake, and place the transmis-sion in ”P”. If necessary, block thewheels.

! Washing your vehicle or driving throughdeep water may get the brakes wet. Tosee whether they are wet, check thatthere is no traffic near you, and thenpress the pedal lightly. If you do notfeel a normal braking force, the brakesare probably wet. To dry them, drivethe vehicle cautiously while lightlypressing the brake pedal with the park-ing brake applied. If they still do notwork safely, pull to the side of the roadand call a Toyota dealer for assistance.

CAUTION

! Before driving off, make sure theparking brake is fully releasedand that the parking brake re-minder light is off.

! Do not leave your vehicle unat-tended while the engine is run-ning.

! Do not rest your foot on thebrake pedal while driving. It cancause dangerous overheating,needless wear, and poor fueleconomy.

! To drive down a long or steephill, reduce your speed anddownshift. Remember, if you ridethe brakes excessively, they mayoverheat and not work properly.

! Be careful when accelerating, up-shifting, downshifting or brakingon a slippery surface. Suddenacceleration or engine brakingcould cause the vehicle to spinor skid.

Tips for drivingin various conditions

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

195

! Do not drive in excess of thespeed limit. Even if the legalspeed limit permits it, do notdrive over 140 km/h (85 mph) un-less your vehicle has high−speedcapability tires. Driving over 140km/h (85 mph) may result in tirefailure, loss of control and pos-sible injury. Be sure to consult atire dealer to determine whetherthe tires on your vehicle arehigh−speed capability tires or notbefore driving at such speeds.

! Do not continue normal drivingwhen the brakes are wet. If theyare wet, your vehicle will requirea longer stopping distance, andit may pull to one side when thebrakes are applied. Also, theparking brake will not hold thevehicle securely.

Off−road driving precautionsWhen driving your vehicle off−road, pleaseobserve the following precautions to en-sure your driving enjoyment and to helpprevent the closure of areas to off−roadvehicles.

a. Drive your vehicle only in areas whereoff−road vehicles are permitted to trav-el.

b. Respect private property. Get owner’spermission before entering private prop-erty.

c. Do not enter areas that are closed.Honor gates, barriers and signs that re-strict travel.

d. Stay on established roads. Whenconditions are wet, driving techniquesshould be changed or travel delayed toprevent damage to roads.

For owners in U.S. mainland, Hawaii andPuerto Rico:

To obtain additional information pertainingto driving your vehicle off−road, consultthe following organizations.

! State and Local Parks and RecreationDepartments

! State Motor Vehicle Bureau

! Recreational Vehicle Clubs

! U.S. Forest Service and Bureau ofLand Management

CAUTION

Always observe the following precau-tions to minimize the risk of seriouspersonal injury or damage to your ve-hicle:

! Drive carefully when off the road.Do not take unnecessary risks bydriving in dangerous places.

! Do not grip the steering wheelspokes when driving off−road. Abad bump could jerk the wheel andinjure your hands. Keep bothhands and especially your thumbson the outside of the rim.

! Always check your brakes for effec-tiveness immediately after driving insand, mud, water or snow.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

! After driving through tall grass,mud, rock, sand, rivers, etc., checkthat there is no grass, bush, paper,rags, stone, sand, etc. adhering ortrapped on the underbody. Clearoff any such matter from the under-body. If the vehicle is used withthese materials trapped or adheringto the underbody, a breakdown orfire could occur.

! In a rollover crash, an unbelted per-son is significantly more likely todie than a person wearing a seatbelt. Therefore, the driver and allpassengers should fasten their seatbelts whenever the vehicle is mov-ing.

! When driving off−road or in ruggedterrain, do not drive at excessivespeeds, jump, make sharp turns,strike objects, etc. This may causeloss of control or vehicle rollovercausing death or serious injury.You are also risking expensive dam-age to your vehicle’s suspensionand chassis.

NOTICE

! If driving through water, such aswhen crossing shallow streams,first check the depth of the waterand the bottom of the river bed forfirmness. Drive slowly and avoiddeep water.

! Take all necessary safety measuresto ensure that water damage to theengine or other components doesnot occur.

! Water entering the engine air intakewill cause severe engine damage.

! Water can wash the grease fromwheel bearings, causing rusting andpremature failure, and may also en-ter the differentials, transmissionand transfer case, reducing the gearoil’s lubricating qualities.

! Sand and mud that has accumulatedin brake drums and around brakediscs may affect braking efficiencyand may damage brake system com-ponents.

! Always perform a maintenance in-spection after each day of off−roaddriving that has taken you throughrough terrain, sand, mud, or water.For scheduled maintenance informa-tion, refer to the “Scheduled Main-tenance Guide” or “Owner’s ManualSupplement”.

Winter driving tipsMake sure you have a proper freezeprotection of engine coolant.

Your coolant must contain ethylene−glycoltype coolant for a proper corrosionprotection of aluminum components. Use”TOYOTA Long Life Coolant” or equivalent.

See Section 7−2 for details about coolanttype selection.

NOTICE

Do not use alcohol type antifreeze orplain water alone.

When it is extremely cold, we recommendto use 60% solution for your Toyota, toprovide protection down to about −50°C(−58°F). Do not use more than 70% solu-tion for better coolant performance.

Check the condition of the battery andcables.

Cold temperatures reduce the capacity ofany battery, so it must be in top shapeto provide enough power for winter start-ing. Section 7−3 tells you how to visuallyinspect the battery. Your Toyota dealerand most service stations will be pleasedto check the level of charge.

Make sure the engine oil viscosity issuitable for the cold weather.

See Section 7−2 for recommended viscos-ity. Leaving a heavy summer oil in yourvehicle during winter months may causeharder starting. If you are not sure aboutwhich oil to use, call your Toyota dealer–he will be pleased to help.

Keep the door locks from freezing.

Squirt lock de−icer or glycerine into thelocks to keep them from freezing.

Use a washer fluid containing an anti-freeze solution.

This product is available at your Toyotadealer and most auto parts stores. Followthe manufacturer’s directions for howmuch to mix with water.

NOTICE

Do not use engine antifreeze or anyother substitute as washer fluid be-cause it may damage your vehicle’spaint.

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

When parking, put the transmission into”P” and block the front wheels. Do notuse the parking brake, or snow or wateraccumulated in and around the parkingbrake mechanism may freeze, making ithard to release.

Keep ice and snow from accumulatingunder the fenders.

Ice and snow built up under your fenderscan make steering difficult. During badwinter driving, stop and check under thefenders occasionally.

Depending on where you are driving,we recommend you carry some emer-gency equipment.

Some of the things you might put in thevehicle are tire chains, window scraper,bag of sand or salt, flares, small shovel,jumper cables, etc.

Dinghy towing

Your vehicle is not designed to bedinghy towed (with four wheels on theground) behind a motorhome.

NOTICE

Do not tow your vehicle with fourwheels on the ground. This maycause serious damage to your vehicle.

Trailer towingYour vehicle is designed primarily as apassenger−and−load−carrying vehicle. Tow-ing a trailer will have an adverse effect onhandling, performance, braking, durabilityand driving economy (fuel consumption,etc.). Your safety and satisfaction dependon the proper use of correct equipmentand cautious driving habits. For your safe-ty and the safety of others, you must notoverload your vehicle or trailer. Ask yourlocal Toyota dealer for further details be-fore towing.

WEIGHT LIMITS

Before towing, make sure the total trail-er weight, gross combination weight,gross vehicle weight, gross axle weightand trailer tongue load are all withinthe limits.

The total trailer weight and tongue loadcan be measured with platform scalesfound at a highway weighing station, build-ing supply company, trucking company,junk yard, etc.

CAUTION

! The maximum gross trailerweight (trailer weight plus cargoweight) must never exceed2948 kg (6500 lb.). If towing atrailer and cargo weighing over907 kg (2000 lb.), it is necessaryto use a sway control devicewith sufficient capacity. The com-bination of the gross trailerweight added to the total weightof the vehicle, occupants and ve-hicle cargo must never exceed atotal of 5625 kg (12400 lb.). Ex-ceeding the maximum weight ofthe trailer, the vehicle, or the ve-hicle and trailer combination, cancause an accident resulting inserious personal injuries.

! Trailer hitch assemblies have dif-ferent weight capacities estab-lished by the hitch manufacturer.Even though the vehicle may bephysically capable of towing ahigher weight, the operator mustdetermine the maximum weightrating of the particular hitch as-sembly and never exceed themaximum weight rating specifiedfor the trailer−hitch. Exceedingthe maximum weight rating setby the trailer hitch manufacturercan cause an accident resultingin serious personal injuries.

! The gross vehicle weight mustnot exceed the Gross VehicleWeight Rating (GVWR) indicatedon the Certification Label. Thegross vehicle weight is the sumof weights of the unloaded ve-hicle, driver, passengers, lug-gage, hitch and trailer tongueload. It also includes the weightof any special equipmentinstalled on your vehicle.

! The load on either the front orrear axle resulting from distribu-tion of the gross vehicle weighton both axles must not exceedthe Gross Axle Weight Rating(GAWR) listed on the CertificationLabel.

442 kg (975 lb.)

Never load the trailer with moreweight in the back than in the front.About 60% of the trailer load shouldbe in the front half of the trailerand the remaining 40% in the rear.

HITCHES

! If you wish to install a trailer hitch, youshould consult with your Toyota dealer.

! Use only a hitch recommended by thehitch manufacturer and the one whichconforms to the total trailer weightrequirement.

! The hitch must be bolted securely tothe vehicle frame and installed accord-ing to the hitch manufacturer’s instruc-tions.

! The hitch ball and king pin should havea light coat of grease.

! Toyota recommends removing the trail-er hitch whenever you are not towinga trailer to reduce the possibility ofadditional damage caused by the hitchif your vehicle is struck from behind.After removing the hitch, seal anymounting holes in the vehicle body toprevent entry of pollutants such as ex-haust fumes, dirt, water, etc.

NOTICE

Do not use axle−mounted hitches asthey can cause damage to the axlehousing, wheel bearings, wheels ortires. Also, never install a hitch whichmay interfere with the normal functionof an Energy Absorbing Bumper, if soequipped.

TRAILER BALL

Follow these easy steps to properly deter-mine the correct trailer ball for your ap-plication:

1. Determine the correct trailer ball sizefor the trailer coupler. Most couplersare stamped with the required trailerball size. The sizes you will most likelyfind stamped on the coupler are:

Trailer Class Typical Trailer Ball SizeIII 2—5/16 in.II 2 in.I 1—7/8 in.

2. Select the appropriate trailer ball tomatch or exceed the gross trailerweight rating of the trailer. The trailerball load rating should be printed onthe top of the ball.

3. When mounted in the ball mount, thethreaded ball shank must protrude be-yond the bottom of the lock washerand nut at least 2 threads. The trailerball shank must be matched to the ballmount hole diameter size.

MATCHING TRAILER BALL HEIGHT TOTRAILER COUPLER HEIGHT

No matter which class of tow hitch ap-plies, for a safe trailer hookup, the trailerball setup on must be the proper heightfor the coupler on the trailer.

BRAKES AND SAFETY CHAINS

! Toyota recommends trailers withbrakes that conform to any applica-ble federal and state/provincial regu-lations.

! A safety chain must always be usedbetween the towing vehicle and thetrailer. Leave sufficient slack in thechain for turns. The chain shouldcross under the trailer tongue toprevent the tongue from dropping tothe ground in case it becomes dam-aged or separated. For correct safetychain procedures, follow the hitch ortrailer manufacturer’s recommenda-tions.

CAUTION

! If the total trailer weight exceeds453 kg (1000 lb.), trailer brakesare required.

! Never tap into your vehicle’s hy-draulic system as it would lowerits braking effectiveness.

! Never tow a trailer without usinga safety chain securely attachedto both the trailer and the ve-hicle. If damage occurs to thecoupling unit or hitch ball, thereis danger of the trailer wanderingover into another lane.

TIRES

! Ensure that your vehicle’s tires areproperly inflated. Adjust the tire pres-sure indicated below:

Tire pressure, kPa (kgf/cm2 or bar, psi)Front 200 (2.0, 29)Rear 240 (2.4, 35)

! The trailer tires should be inflated tothe pressure recommended by the trail-er manufacturer in respect to the totaltrailer weight.

TRAILER LIGHTS

! Trailer lights must comply with federal,state/provincial and local regulations.See your local recreational vehicledealer or rental agency for the correcttype of wiring and relays for your trail-er. Check for correct operation of theturn signals and stop lights each timeyou hitch up. Direct splicing may dam-age your vehicle’s electrical systemand cause a malfunction of your lights.

BREAK−IN SCHEDULE

! Toyota recommends that you do nottow a trailer with a new vehicle or avehicle with any new power train com-ponent (engine, transmission, differen-tial, wheel bearing, etc.) for the first800 km (500 miles) of driving.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

203

MAINTENANCE

! If you tow a trailer, your vehicle willrequire more frequent maintenance dueto the additional load. For thisinformation, please refer to thescheduled maintenance information inthe ”Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or”Owner’s Manual Supplement”.

! Retighten all fixing bolts of the towingball and bracket after approximately1000 km (600 miles) of trailer driving.

PRE−TOWING SAFETY CHECK

! Check that your vehicle remains levelwhen a loaded or unloaded trailer ishitched. Do not drive if the vehicle hasan abnormal nose−up or nose−downcondition, and check for impropertongue load, overload, worn suspensionor other possible causes.

! Make sure the trailer cargo is securelyloaded so that it cannot shift.

! Check that your rear view mirrors con-form to any applicable federal, state/provincial or local regulations. If not,install the rear view mirrors requiredfor towing purpose.

TRAILER TOWING TIPS

When towing a trailer, your vehicle willhandle differently than when not tow-ing. The three main causes of vehicle−trailer accidents are driver error, exces-sive speed and improper trailer loading.Keep these in mind when towing:

! Before starting out, check operation ofthe lights and all vehicle−trailer connec-tions. After driving a short distance,stop and recheck the lights and con-nections. Before actually towing a trail-er, practice turning, stopping and back-ing with a trailer in an area away fromtraffic until you learn the feel.

! Because stopping distance may be in-creased, vehicle−to−vehicle distanceshould be increased when towing atrailer. For each 16 km/h (10 mph) ofspeed, allow at least one vehicle andtrailer length between you and the ve-hicle ahead. Avoid sudden braking asyou may skid, resulting in jackknifingand loss of control. This is especiallytrue on wet or slippery surfaces.

! Avoid jerky starts or sudden accelera-tion.

! Avoid jerky steering and sharp turns.The trailer could hit your vehicle in atight turn. Slow down before making aturn to avoid the necessity of suddenbraking.

! Remember that when making a turn,the trailer wheels will be closer thanthe vehicle wheels to the inside of theturn. Therefore, compensate for this bymaking a larger than normal turningradius with your vehicle.

! Backing with a trailer is difficult andrequires practice. Grip the bottom ofthe steering wheel and move your handto the left to move the trailer to theleft. Move your hand to the right tomove the trailer to the right. (This pro-cedure is generally opposite to thatwhen backing without a trailer). Also,just turn the steering wheel a little ata time, avoiding sharp or prolongedturning. Have someone guide you whenbacking to reduce the risk of an acci-dent.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

204

! Crosswinds and rough roads will ad-versely affect handling of your vehicleand trailer, causing sway. Pay attentionto the rear from time to time to pre-pare yourself for being passed by largetrucks or buses, which may cause yourvehicle and trailer to sway. If swayinghappens, firmly grip the steering wheeland reduce speed immediately butgradually. Never increase speed. Steerstraight ahead. If you make no extremecorrection with the steering or brakes,the vehicle and trailer will stabilize it-self.

! Be careful when passing other ve-hicles. Passing requires considerabledistance. After passing a vehicle, donot forget the length of your trailer andbe sure you have plenty of room be-fore changing lanes.

! In order to maintain engine braking effi-ciency, do not use the ”D” position.

! Because of the added load of the trail-er, your vehicle’s engine may overheaton hot days (at temperatures over30°C [85°F]) when going up a long orsteep grade with a trailer. If the enginecoolant temperature gauge indicatesoverheating, immediately turn off the airconditioning (if in use), pull off the roadand stop in a safe spot. Refer to ”Ifyour vehicle overheats” in Section 4.

! Always place wheel blocks under boththe vehicle and trailer wheels whenparking. Apply the parking brake firmly.Put the transmission in ”P”. Avoid park-ing on a slope with a trailer, but if itcannot be avoided, do so only afterperforming the following:

1. Apply the brakes and hold.

2. Have someone place wheel blocksunder both the vehicle and trailerwheels.

3. When the wheel blocks are in place,release your brakes slowly until theblocks absorb the load.

4. Apply the parking brake firmly.

5. Shift into ”P” and turn off the en-gine.

When restarting out after parking on aslope:

1. With the transmission in ”P” posi-tion, start the engine. Be sure tokeep the brake pedal depressed.

2. Shift into the ”2”, ”L” or ”R” position.

3. Release the parking brake andbrake pedal and slowly pull or backaway from the wheel blocks. Stopand apply your brakes.

4. Have someone retrieve the blocks.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

205

CAUTION

! Do not exceed 72 km/h (45 mph)or the posted towing speed limit,whichever is lower. Because in-stability (swaying) of a towingvehicle−trailer combination usual-ly increases as the speed in-creases, exceeding 72 km/h (45mph) may cause loss of control.

! Slow down and downshift beforedescending steep or long down-hill grades. Do not make suddendownshifts.

! Avoid holding the brake pedaldown too long or too frequently.This could cause the brakes tooverheat and result in reducedbraking efficiency.

Improving fuel economy is easy–just takeit easy. It will help make your vehicle lastlonger, too. Here are some specific tipson how to save money on both fuel andrepairs:

! Keep your tires inflated at the cor-rect pressure. Underinflation causestire wear and wastes fuel. See Section7−2 for instructions.

! Do not carry unneeded weight inyour vehicle. Excess weight puts aheavier load on the engine, causinggreater fuel consumption.

! Avoid lengthy warm−up idling. Oncethe engine is running smoothly, begindriving—but gently. Remember, howev-er, that on cold winter days this maytake a little longer.

! Always keep the automatic transmis-sion overdrive turned on. Driving withthe overdrive off will reduce the fueleconomy. (For details, see ”Automatictransmission” in Section 1−6.)

! Accelerate slowly and smoothly.Avoid jackrabbit starts.

! Avoid long engine idling. If you havea long wait and you are not in traffic,it is better to turn off the engine andstart again later.

! Avoid engine over-revving. Use agear position suitable for the road onwhich you are travelling.

! Avoid continuous speeding up andslowing down. Stop−and−go drivingwastes fuel.

! Avoid unnecessary stopping andbraking. Maintain a steady pace. Tryto time the traffic signals so you onlyneed to stop as little as possible ortake advantage of through streets toavoid traffic lights. Keep a proper dis-tance from other vehicles to avoid sud-den braking. This will also reduce wearon your brakes.

! Avoid heavy traffic or traffic jamswhenever possible.

! Do not rest your foot on the brakepedal. This causes premature wear,overheating and poor fuel economy.

! Maintain a moderate speed on high-ways. The faster you drive, the greaterthe fuel consumption. By reducing yourspeed, you will cut down on fuel con-sumption.

How to save fuel and makeyour vehicle last longer, too

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

206

! Keep the front wheels in properalignment. Avoid hitting the curb andslow down on rough roads. Improperalignment not only causes faster tirewear but also puts an extra load onthe engine, which, in turn, wastes fuel.

! Keep the bottom of your vehicle freefrom mud, etc. This not only lessensweight but also helps prevent corro-sion.

! Keep your vehicle tuned−up and intop shape. A dirty air cleaner, improp-er valve clearance, dirty plugs, dirty oiland grease, brakes not adjusted, etc.all lower engine performance and con-tribute to poor fuel economy. For longerlife of all parts and lower operatingcosts, keep all maintenance work onschedule, and if you often drive undersevere conditions, see that your vehiclereceives more frequent maintenance(For scheduled maintenance informa-tion, please refer to the ”ScheduledMaintenance Guide” or ”Owner’s Manu-al Supplement”).

CAUTION

Never turn off the engine to coastdown hills. Your power steering andbrake booster will not function with-out the engine running. Also, theemission control system operatesproperly only when the engine is run-ning.

Before making these checks, make sureyou have followed the correct startingprocedure given in ”How to start theengine” in Section 3 and that you havesufficient fuel. Also check whether theother keys will start the engine. If theywork, your key may be broken. Have thekey checked at your Toyota dealer. Ifnone of your keys work, the engineimmobiliser system is possibly broken.Call your Toyota dealer. (See ”Keys” inSection 1−2.)

If the engine is not turning over or isturning over too slowly—

1. Check that the battery terminals aretight and clean.

2. If the battery terminals are O.K., switchon the interior light.

3. If the light is out, dim or goes outwhen the starter is cranked, the batteryis discharged. You may try jump start-ing. See ”(c) Jump starting” for furtherinstructions.

If the light is O.K., but the engine still willnot start, it needs adjustment or repair.Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repairshop.

NOTICE

Do not pull− or push−start the ve-hicle. It may damage the vehicle orcause a collision when the enginestarts. Also the three−way catalyticconverter may overheat and become afire hazard.

If the engine turns over at its normalspeed but will not start—

1. The engine may be flooded because ofrepeated cranking. See ”(b) Starting aflooded engine” for further instructions.

2. If the engine still will not start, it needsadjustment or repair. Call a Toyotadealer or qualified repair shop.

If your vehicle will not start—(a) Simple checks

If this happens, turn the key to ”START”with the accelerator pedal held down.Keep the key and accelerator pedal so for15 seconds and release them. Then trystarting the engine with your foot off theaccelerator pedal.

If the engine does not start after 15 se-conds of cranking, release the key, waita few minutes and try again.

If the engine still will not start, it needsadjustment or repair. Call a Toyota dealeror qualified repair shop for assistance.

NOTICE

Do not crank for more than 30 se-conds at a time. This may overheatthe starter and wiring systems.

(c) Jump startingTo avoid serious personal injury anddamage to your vehicle which might re-sult from battery explosion, acid burns,electrical burns, or damaged electroniccomponents, these instructions must befollowed precisely.

If you are unsure about how to follow thisprocedure, we strongly recommend thatyou seek the help of a competent me-chanic or towing service.

CAUTION

! Batteries contain sulfuric acidwhich is poisonous and corro-sive. Wear protective safetyglasses when jump starting, andavoid spilling acid on your skin,clothing, or vehicle.

! If you should accidentally getacid on yourself or in your eyes,remove any contaminated cloth-ing and flush the affected areawith water immediately. Then getimmediate medical attention. Ifpossible, continue to apply waterwith a sponge or cloth while enroute to the medical office.

! The gas normally produced by abattery will explode if a flame orspark is brought near. Use onlystandardized jumper cables anddo not smoke or light a matchwhile jump starting.

Warning: Battery posts, terminals andrelated accessories contain lead andlead compounds, chemicals know tothe State of California to cause can-cer and reproductive harm. Washhands after handling.

NOTICE

The battery used for boosting mustbe 12 V. Do not jump start unless youare sure that the booster battery iscorrect.

Do not connect the cable to or nearany part that moves when the engineis cranked.

CAUTION

When making the connections, toavoid serious injury, do not lean overthe battery or accidentally let thejumper cables or clamps touch any-thing except the correct battery termi-nals or the ground.

5. Start your engine in the normal way.After starting, run it at about 2000 rpmfor several minutes with the acceleratorpedal lightly depressed.

6. Carefully disconnect the cables in theexact reverse order: the negative cableand then the positive cable.

7. Carefully dispose of the battery covercloths—they may now contain sulfuricacid.

8. If removed, replace all the battery ventplugs.

If the cause of your battery discharging isnot apparent (for example, lights left on),you should have it checked.

If your engine stalls while driving...

1. Reduce your speed gradually, keepinga straight line. Move cautiously off theroad to a safe place.

2. Turn on your emergency flashers.

3. Try starting the engine again.

If the engine will not start, see ”If yourvehicle will not start”.

CAUTION

If the engine is not running, the pow-er assist for the brakes and steeringwill not work so steering and brakingwill be much harder than usual.

If your engine stalls whiledriving

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

213

If the engine speed does not increasewhen the accelerator pedal is de-pressed, the electronic throttle controlsystem may be faulty. Move the vehicleto a safe place by means of creepingand call a Toyota dealer for assistance:

1. Depress the brake pedal and shift tothe ”D” position.

2. Gradually release the brake pedal, andthe vehicle starts to move by creeping.After arriving at a safe place, stop thevehicle and call a Toyota dealer forassistance.

CAUTION

! The above method of moving thevehicle is for emergency. Use itonly for moving minimum distancesto a safe place.

! Be especially careful to prevent er-roneous pedal operation.

If your vehicle overheatsIf your engine coolant temperaturegauge indicates overheating, if you ex-perience a loss of power, or if you heara loud knocking or pinging noise, theengine has probably overheated. Youshould follow this procedure...

1. Pull safely off the road, stop the ve-hicle and turn on your emergencyflashers. Put the transmission in ”P”and apply the parking brake. Turn offthe air conditioning if it is being used.

2. If coolant or steam is boiling out of theradiator or reservoir, stop the engine.Wait until the steam subsides beforeopening the hood. If there is no coolantboiling over or steam, leave the enginerunning.

CAUTION

To help avoid personal injury, keepthe hood closed until there is nosteam. Escaping steam or coolant isa sign of very high pressure.

3. Visually check to see if the enginedrive belt (fan belt) is broken or loose.Look for obvious coolant leaks from theradiator, hoses, and under the vehicle.However, note that water draining fromthe air conditioning is normal if it hasbeen used.

CAUTION

When the engine is running, keephands and clothing away from themoving fan and engine drive belts.

4. If the engine drive belt is broken or thecoolant is leaking, stop the engine im-mediately. Call a Toyota dealer for as-sistance.

5. If the engine drive belt is O.K. andthere are no obvious leaks, you mayhelp the engine cool down more quicklyby running it at about 1500 rpm for afew minutes with the accelerator pedallightly depressed.

6. Check the coolant reservoir. If it is dry,add coolant to the reservoir while theengine is running. Fill it about half full.

If you cannot increase the en-gine speed

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

214

CAUTION

Do not attempt to remove the radiatorcap when the engine and radiator arehot. Serious injury could result fromscalding hot fluid and steam blownout under pressure.

7. After the engine coolant temperaturehas cooled to normal, again check thecoolant level in the reservoir. If neces-sary, bring it up to half full again. Seri-ous coolant loss indicates a leak in thesystem. You should have it checked assoon as possible at your Toyota dealer.

If you have a flat tire—1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping

a straight line. Move cautiously off theroad to a safe place well away fromthe traffic. Avoid stopping on the centerdivider of a highway. Park on a levelspot with firm ground.

2. Stop the engine and turn on youremergency flashers.

3. Firmly set the parking brake and putthe transmission in ”P”.

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

5. Read the following instructions thor-oughly.

CAUTION

When jacking, be sure to observe thefollowing to reduce the possibility ofpersonal injury:

! Follow jacking instructions.

! Do not put any part of yourbody under the vehicle supportedby the jack. Personal injury mayoccur.

! Do not start or run the enginewhile your vehicle is supportedby the jack.

222

Before putting on wheels, remove any cor-rosion on the mounting surfaces with awire brush or such. Installation of wheelswithout good metal−to−metal contact at themounting surface can cause wheel nuts toloosen and eventually cause a wheel tocome off while driving. Therefore after thefirst 1600 km (1000 miles), check to seethat the wheel nuts are tight.

—Reinstalling wheel nuts

8. Reinstall all the wheel nuts fingertight.

Reinstall the wheel nuts (tapered end in-ward) and tighten them as much as youcan by hand. Press back on the tire andsee if you can tighten them more.

—Lowering your vehicle

9. Lower the vehicle completely andtighten the wheel nuts.

Turn the jack handle extension counter-clockwise with handle to lower the vehicle,making sure the handle remains firmlyfitted onto the jack handle extension.

Use only the wheel nut wrench and turnit clockwise to tighten the nuts. Do notuse other tools or any additional leverageother than your hands, such as a hammer,pipe or your foot. Make sure the wrenchis securely engaged over the nut.

Tighten each nut a little at a time in theorder shown. Repeat the process until allthe nuts are tight.

SECTION 5

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

230

Toyota, through its diligent research, de-sign and use of the most advancedtechnology available, has done its part tohelp prevent corrosion and has providedyou with the finest quality vehicleconstruction. Now, it is up to you. Propercare of your Toyota can help ensure long−term corrosion prevention.

The most common causes of corrosionto your vehicle are:

! The accumulation of road salt, dirt andmoisture in hard−to−reach areas underthe vehicle.

! Chipping of paint, or undercoatingcaused by minor accidents or bystones and gravel.

Care is especially important if you livein particular areas or operate your ve-hicle under certain environmental condi-tions:

! Road salt or dust control chemicals willaccelerate corrosion, as will the pres-ence of salt in the air near the sea−coast or in areas of industrial pollution.

! High humidity accelerates corrosion es-pecially when temperatures range justabove the freezing point.

! Wetness or dampness to certain partsof your vehicle for an extended periodof time, may cause corrosion eventhough other parts of the vehicle maybe dry.

! High ambient temperatures can causecorrosion to those components of thevehicle which are prevented fromquick−drying due to lack of proper ven-tilation.

The above signifies the necessity to keepyour vehicle, particularly the underside, asclean as possible and to repair any dam-age to paint or protective coatings assoon as possible.

To help prevent corrosion on yourToyota, follow these guidelines:

Wash your vehicle frequently. It is, ofcourse, necessary to keep your vehicleclean by regular washing, but to preventcorrosion, the following points should beobserved:

! If you drive on salted roads in thewinter or if you live near the ocean,you should hose off the undercarriageat least once a month to minimize cor-rosion.

! High pressure water or steam is effec-tive for cleaning the vehicle’s undersideand wheel housings. Pay particularattention to these areas as it is difficultto see all the mud and dirt. It will domore harm than good to simply wet themud and debris without removing them.The lower edge of doors, rocker panelsand frame members have drain holeswhich should not be allowed to clogwith dirt as trapped water in theseareas can cause corrosion.

! Wash the underside of the vehicle thor-oughly when winter is over.

See ”Washing and waxing your Toyota” formore tips.

Check the condition of your vehicle’spaint and trim. If you find any chips orscratches in the paint, touch them up im-mediately to prevent corrosion from start-ing. If the chips or scratches have gonethrough the bare metal, have a qualifiedbody shop make the repair.

Protecting your Toyotafrom corrosion

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

231

Check the interior of your vehicle. Wa-ter and dirt can accumulate under thefloor mats and could cause corrosion. Oc-casionally check under the mats to makesure the area is dry. Be particularly care-ful when transporting chemicals, cleans-ers, fertilizers, salt, etc.; these should betransported in proper containers. If a spillor leak should occur, immediately cleanand dry the area.

Use mud shields on your wheels. If youdrive on salted or gravel roads, mudshields help protect your vehicle. Full−sizeshields, which come as near to the groundas possible, are the best. We recommendthat the fittings and the area where theshields are installed be treated to resistcorrosion. Your Toyota dealer will behappy to assist in supplying and installingthe shields if they are recommended foryour area.

Keep your vehicle in a well ventilatedgarage or a roofed place. Do not parkyour vehicle in a damp, poorly venti-lated garage. If you wash your vehicle inthe garage, or if you drive it in coveredwith water or snow, your garage may beso damp it will cause corrosion. Even ifyour garage is heated, a wet vehicle cancorrode if the ventilation is poor.

Washing your Toyota

Keep your vehicle clean by regularwashing.

The following cases may cause weaknessto the paint or corrosion to the body andparts. Wash your vehicle as soon as pos-sible.

! When driving in a coastal area

! When driving on a road sprinkled withantifreeze

! When having coal tar, tree sap, birddroppings and carcass of an insect

! When driving in the areas where thereis a lot of smoke, soot, dust, iron dustand chemical substance

! When the vehicle becomes remarkablydirty with dust and mud

Hand−washing your Toyota

Work in the shade and wait until thevehicle body is not hot to the touch.

CAUTION

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

1. Rinse off loose dirt with a hose. Re-move any mud or road salt from theunderside of the vehicle or in thewheel wells.

2. Wash with a mild car−wash soap,mixed according to the manufacturer’sinstructions. Use a soft cotton mitt andkeep it wet by dipping it frequently intothe wash water. Do not rub hard—letthe soap and water remove the dirt.

Plastic wheel ornaments: The plasticwheel ornaments are damaged easily byorganic substances. If any organic sub-stances splashes an ornament, be sure towash it off with water and check if theornament is damaged.

CAUTION

Do not attach the heavily damagedplastic wheel ornament. It may fly offthe wheel and cause accidents whilethe vehicle is moving.

Aluminum wheels: Use only a mild soapor neutral detergent.

Plastic bumpers: Wash carefully. Do notscrub with abrasive cleaners. The bumperfaces are soft.

Road tar: Remove with turpentine orcleaners that are marked safe for paintedsurfaces.

NOTICE

Do not use organic substances (gaso-line kerosene, benzine or strong sol-vents) which may be toxic or causedamage.

3. Rinse thoroughly—dried soap cancause streaking. In hot weather youmay need to rinse each section rightafter you wash it.

4. To prevent water spots, dry the vehicleusing a clean soft cotton towel. Do notrub or press hard—you might scratchthe paint.

Automatic car wash

Your vehicle may be washed in an auto-matic car wash, but remember that thepaint can be scratched by some type ofbrushes, unfiltered washing water, or thewashing process itself. Scratching reducespaint durability and gloss, especially ondarker colors. The manager of the carwash should be able to advise you wheth-er the process is safe for the paint onyour vehicle.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the antenna,make sure it is retracted before driv-ing your Toyota through an automaticcar wash.

Waxing your Toyota

Polishing and waxing is recommendedto maintain the original beauty of yourToyota’s finish.

Once a month or if the vehicle surfacedoes not repel water well, apply wax.

1. Always wash and dry the vehicle be-fore you begin waxing, even if you areusing a combined cleaner and wax.

2. Use a good quality polish and wax. Ifthe finish has become extremely weath-ered, use a car−cleaning polish, fol-lowed by a separate wax. Carefully fol-low the manufacturer’s instructions andprecautions. Be sure to polish and waxthe chrome trim as well as the paint.

3. Wax the vehicle again when waterdoes not bead but remains on the sur-face in large patches.

NOTICE

Always remove the plastic bumpers ifyour vehicle is re−painted and placedin a high heat paint waxing booth.High temperatures could damage thebumpers.

! When the engine is running,keep hands, clothing, and toolsaway from the moving fan andengine drive belts. (Removingrings, watches, and ties is advis-able.)

! Right after driving, the enginecompartment—the engine, radia-tor, exhaust manifold, powersteering fluid reservoir and sparkplug boots, etc.—will be hot. Sobe careful not to touch them. Oil,fluids and spark plugs may alsobe hot.

! If the engine is hot, do not re-move the radiator cap or loosenthe drain plugs to prevent burn-ing yourself.

! Do not smoke, cause sparks orallow open flames around fuel orthe battery. Their fumes are flam-mable.

! Be extremely cautious whenworking on the battery. It con-tains poisonous and corrosivesulfuric acid.

! Warning: Battery posts, terminalsand related accessories containlead and lead compounds, chemi-cals know to the State of Califor-nia to cause cancer and repro-ductive harm. Wash hands afterhandling.

Do−it−yourself service precautions

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

245

! Do not get under your vehiclewith just the body jack support-ing it. Always use automotivejack stands or other solid sup-ports.

! Be sure that the ignition is off ifyou work near the electric cool-ing fan or radiator grille. Withthe ignition on, the electric cool-ing fan will automatically start torun if the air conditioning is on.

! Use eye protection whenever youwork on or under your vehiclewhere you may be exposed toflying or falling material, fluidspray, etc.

! Used engine oil contains poten-tially harmful contaminants whichmay cause skin disorders suchas inflammation or skin cancer,so care should be taken to avoidprolonged and repeated contactwith it. To remove used engineoil from your skin, wash thor-oughly with soap and water.

! Do not leave used oil within thereach of children.

! Dispose of used oil and filteronly in a safe and acceptablemanner. Do not dispose of usedoil and filter in household trash,in sewers or onto the ground.Call your dealer or a service sta-tion for information concerningrecycling or disposal.

NOTICE

! Remember that battery and ignitioncables carry high currents or volt-ages. Be careful of accidentallycausing a short circuit.

! Add only demineralized or distilledwater to fill the radiator. And if youspill some of the coolant, be sureto wash it off with water to preventit from damaging the parts or paint.

! Do not allow dirt or anything elseto fall through the plug holes.

! Do not pry the outer electrode of aspark plug against the center elec-trode.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

246

! Use only spark plugs of the speci-fied type. Using other types willcause engine damage, loss of per-formance or radio noise.

! Do not reuse iridium−tipped sparkplugs by cleaning or regapping.

! Do not overfill automatic transmis-sion fluid, transfer oil and powersteering fluid, or the transmission,transfer and power steering couldbe damaged.

! Do not drive with the air cleanerfilter removed, or excessive enginewear could result. Also backfiringcould cause a fire in the enginecompartment.

! Be careful not to scratch the glasssurface with the wiper frame.

! When closing the engine hood,check to see that you have not for-gotten any tools, rags, etc.

Checking the engine oil level

Low level Full level

Add oil Too fullO.K.

With the engine at operating tempera-ture and turned off, check the oil levelon the dipstick.

1. To get a true reading, the vehicleshould be on a level spot. After turningoff the engine, wait a few minutes forthe oil to drain back into the bottom ofthe engine.

2. Pull out the dipstick, and wipe it cleanwith a rag.

3. Standing up on the left side of thevehicle, reinsert the dipstick in the di-rection so that the ”ENGINE OIL” ontop should be read correctly and pushit in as far as it will go, or the readingwill not be correct.

4. Pull the dipstick out and look at the oillevel on the end.

CAUTION

Be careful not to touch the hot ex-haust manifold.

If the oil level is below or only slightlyabove the low level, add engine oil ofthe same type as already in the engine.

Remove the oil filler cap and add engineoil in small quantities at a time, checkingthe dipstick.

The approximate quantity of oil needed tofill between the low level and the full levelon the dipstick is indicated below for ref-erence.

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

Oil quantity, L (qt., Imp. qt.): 1.5 (1.6, 1.3)

NOTICE

! Avoid overfilling, or the enginecould be damaged.

! Check the oil level on the dipstickonce again after adding the oil.

ENGINE OIL SELECTION

Use API grade SJ, ”Energy−Conserving”multigrade engine oil or ILSAC multigradeengine oil.

Recommended viscosity (SAE):

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

If you use SAE 10W−30 engine oil inextremely low temperatures, the enginemay become difficult to start, so SAE5W−30 engine oil is recommended.

API service symbol

ILSAC certification mark

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

251

Oil identification marks

Either or both API registered marks areadded to some oil containers to helpyou select the oil you should use.

The API Service Symbol is located any-where on the outside of the container.

The top portion of the label shows the oilquality by API (American Petroleum Insti-tute) designations such as SJ. The centerportion of the label shows the SAE viscos-ity grade such as SAE 5W−30. ”Energy−Conserving” shown in the lower portion,indicates that the oil has fuel−saving ca-pabilities.

The ILSAC (International Lubricant Stan-dardization and Approval Committee) Certi-fication Mark is displayed on the front ofthe container.

Look at the see−through coolant reser-voir when the engine is cold. The cool-ant level is satisfactory if it is betweenthe ”FULL” and ”LOW” lines on thereservoir. If the level is low, add ethyl-ene−glycol type coolant for a propercorrosion protection of aluminum com-ponents.

The coolant level in the reservoir will varywith engine temperature. However, if thelevel is on or below the ”LOW” line, addcoolant. Bring the level up to the ”FULL”line.

Always use ethylene−glycol type coolantfor a proper corrosion protection of alumi-num components. See information in thenext column.

If the coolant level drops within a shorttime after replenishing, there may be aleak in the system. Visually check theradiator, hoses, radiator cap and draincock and water pump.

If you can find no leak, have your Toyotadealer test the cap pressure and checkfor leaks in the cooling system.

CAUTION

To prevent burning yourself, do notremove the radiator cap when the en-gine is hot.

Coolant type selection

Use of improper coolants may damageyour engine cooling system. Your coolantmust contain ethylene−glycol type coolantfor a proper corrosion protection of yourengine that contains aluminumcomponents. Use ”TOYOTA Long LifeCoolant” or equivalent.

In addition to preventing freezing and sub-sequent damage to the engine, this typeof coolant will prevent corrosion. Furthersupplemental inhibitors or additives areneither needed nor recommended.

Read the coolant container for informationon freeze protection. Follow the manufac-turer’s directions for how much to mixwith plain water (preferably demineralizedwater or distilled water). The total capacityof the cooling system is given in Section8.

Checking the engine coolantlevel

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

252

We recommend to use 50% solution foryour Toyota, to provide protection down toabout −35!C (−31!F). When it is extreme-ly cold, to provide protection down toabout −50°C (−58°F), 60% solution is rec-ommended. Do not use more than 70%solution for better coolant performance.

NOTICE

Do not use alcohol type antifreeze orplain water alone.

Checking brake fluid

To check the fluid level, simply look atthe see−through reservoir. The levelshould be between the ”MAX” and”MIN” lines on the reservoir.

It is normal for the brake fluid level to godown slightly as the brake pads wear orwhen the fluid level in the accumulator ishigh.

If the reservoir needs frequent refueling,it may indicate a serious mechanical prob-lem.

If the level is low, add SAE J1703 orFMVSS No. 116 DOT 3 brake fluid tothe brake reservoir.

Refilling brake fluid:

1. Turn the ignition switch off.

2. Depress the brake pedal more than 40times.

3. Remove the reservoir cap by hand.Add brake fluid up to the ”MAX” line.

If you do not follow the procedure above,the reservoir may overflow.

Use only newly opened brake fluid. Onceopened, brake fluid absorbs moisture fromthe air, and excess moisture can cause adangerous loss of braking.

CAUTION

Take care when filling the reservoirbecause brake fluid can harm youreyes and damage painted surfaces. Iffluid gets in your eyes, flush youreyes with clean water immediately. Ifyou still feel uncomfortable with youreyes, go to the doctor.

NOTICE

If you spill the fluid, be sure to wipeit off to prevent it from damaging theparts or painting.

Checking power steering fluid

OpenClose

If coldO.K.

If coldadd

If hotO.K.

If hotadd

Check the fluid level on the dipstick. Ifnecessary, add automatic transmissionfluid DEXRON I I or III.

If the vehicle has been driven around 80km/h (50 mph) for 20 minutes (a littlemore in frigid temperatures), the fluid ishot (60!C—80!C or 140!F—175!F). Youmay also check the level when the fluidis cold (about room temperature,10!C—30!C or 50!F—85!F) if the enginehas not been run for about five hours.

Clean all dirt from outside of the reservoirtank and look at the fluid level. If the fluidis cold, the level should be in the ”COLD”range. Similarly, if it is hot, the fluid levelshould be in the ”HOT” range. If the levelis at the low side of either range, addautomatic transmission fluid DEXRON"IIor III to bring the level within the range.

To remove the reservoir cap, turn it coun-terclockwise and lift up. To reinstall it,turn it clockwise. After replacing the fillercap, visually check the steering box case,vane pump and hose connections forleaks or damage.

CAUTION

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

NOTICE

Avoid overfilling, or the power steer-ing could be damaged.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

254

Checking tire pressureKeep your tire pressures at the properlevel.

The recommended cold tire pressures, tiresize and the vehicle capacity weight aregiven in Section 8.

You should check the tire pressures everytwo weeks, or at least once a month. Anddon’t forget the spare!

Incorrect tire pressure can reduce tirelife and make your vehicle less safe todrive.

Low tire pressure results in excessivewear, poor handling, reduced fuel econo-my, and the possibility of blowouts fromoverheated tires. Also, low tire pressurecan cause poor sealing of the tire bead.If the tire pressure is excessively low,there is the possibility of wheel deforma-tion and/or tire separation.

High tire pressure produces a harsh ride,handling problems, excessive wear at thecenter of the tire tread, and a greaterpossibility of tire damage from road haz-ards.

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

The following instructions for checkingtire pressure should be observed:

# The pressure should be checked onlywhen the tires are cold. If your ve-hicle has been parked for at least 3hours and has not been driven formore than 1.5 km or 1 mile since, youwill get an accurate cold tire pressurereading.

# Always use a tire pressure gauge.The appearance of a tire can be mis-leading. Besides, tire pressures thatare even just a few pounds off candegrade ride and handling.

# Do not bleed or reduce tire pressureafter driving. It is normal for the tirepressure to be higher after driving.

# Never exceed the vehicle capacityweight. The passenger and luggageweight should be located so that thevehicle is balanced.

# Be sure to reinstall the tire inflationvalve caps. Without the valve caps,dirt or moisture could get into the valvecore and cause air leakage. If the capshave been lost, have new ones put onas soon as possible.

Checking and replacing tires

Tread wear indicator

CHECKING YOUR TIRES

Check the tire tread for the tread wearindicators. If the indicators show, re-place the tires.

The tires on your Toyota have built−intread wear indicators to help you knowwhen the tires need replacement. Whenthe tread depth wears to 1.6 mm (0.06in.) or less, the indicators will appear. Ifyou can see the indicators in two or moreadjacent grooves, the tire should be re-placed. The lower the tread, the higherthe risk of skidding.

The effectiveness of snow tires is lostif the tread wears down below 4 mm(0.16 in.).

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

255

Check the tires regularly for damagesuch as cuts, splits and cracks. If anydamage is found, consult with a techni-cian and have the tire repaired or re-placed.

Even if the damage does not appear seri-ous, a qualified technician should examinethe damage. Objects which have pene-trated the tire may have caused internaldamage.

Any tires which are over 6 years oldmust be checked by a qualified techni-cian even if damage is not obvious.

Tires deteriorate with age even if theyhave never or seldom been used.

This also applies to the spare tire andtires stored for future use.

REPLACING YOUR TIRES

When replacing a tire, use only thesame size and construction as original-ly installed and with the same or great-er load capacity.

Using any other size or type of tire mayseriously affect handling, ride, speedome-ter/odometer calibration, ground clearance,and clearance between the body and tiresor snow chains.

CAUTION

# Do not mix radial, bias belted, orbias−ply tires on your vehicle. Itcan cause dangerous handlingcharacteristics, resulting in lossof control.

# Do not use tires or wheels otherthan the manufacturer’s recom-mended size.

Toyota recommends all four tires, or atleast both front or rear tires be re-placed as a set.

See ”If you have a flat tire” in Section 4for tire change procedure.

When a tire is replaced, the wheelshould always be balanced.

An unbalanced wheel may affect vehiclehandling and tire life. Wheels can get outof balance with regular use and shouldtherefore be balanced occasionally.

When replacing a tubeless tire, the airvalve should also be replaced with anew one.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

256

Rotating tires

To equalize tire wear and help extendtire life, Toyota recommends that yourotate your tires according to the main-tenance schedule. (For scheduled main-tenance information, please refer to the”Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or”Owner’s Manual Supplement”.) Howev-er, the most appropriate timing for tirerotation may vary according to yourdriving habits and road surface condi-tions.

See ”If you have a flat tire” in Section 4for tire change procedure.

When rotating tires, check for unevenwear and damage. Abnormal wear is usu-ally caused by incorrect tire pressure, im-proper wheel alignment, out−of−balancewheels, or severe braking.

WHEN TO USE SNOW TIRES ORCHAINS

Snow tires or chains are recommendedwhen driving on snow or ice.

On wet or dry roads, conventional tiresprovide better traction than snow tires.

SNOW TIRE SELECTION

If you need snow tires, select the samesize, construction and load capacity asthe original tires on your Toyota.

Do not use tires other than those men-tioned above. Do not install studded tireswithout first checking local regulations forpossible restrictions.

SNOW TIRE INSTALLATION

Snow tires should be installed on allwheels.

Installing snow tires on the rear wheelsonly can lead to an excessive differencein road grip capability between the frontand rear tires which could cause loss ofvehicle control.

When storing removed tires, you shouldstore them in a cool dry space.

Mark the direction of rotation and be sureto install them in the same direction whenreplacing.

Installing snow tires and chains

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

257

CAUTION

# Do not drive with the snow tiresincorrectly inflated.

# Never drive over 105 km/h (65mph) with any type of snowtires.

Cross chain

Side chain

TIRE CHAIN SELECTION

Use the tire chains of correct size.

For P275/70R16 114S tire, use the follow-ing type chains.

mm (in.)A Diameter of side chain: 3.5 (0.14)B Diameter of cross chain: 4.0 (0.16)

Regulations regarding the use of tirechains vary according to location ortype of road, so always check thembefore installing chains.

NOTICE

If the wrong combination of tire andchain is used, the chains could dam-age the vehicle body.

CHAIN INSTALLATION

Install the chains on the rear tires astightly as possible. Do not use tirechains on the front tires. Retightenchains after driving 0.5—1.0 km(1/4—1/2 mile).

When installing chains on your tires, care-fully follow the instructions of the chainmanufacturer.

If wheel covers are used, they will bescratched by the chain band, so removethe covers before putting on the chains.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

258

CAUTION

# Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph)or the chain manufacturer’s rec-ommended speed limit, whicheveris lower.

# Drive carefully avoiding bumps,holes, and sharp turns, whichmay cause the vehicle tobounce.

# Avoid sharp turns or locked−wheel braking, as use of chainsmay adversely affect vehicle han-dling.

# When driving with chainsinstalled, be sure to drive care-fully. Slow down before enteringthe curves to avoid losing con-trol of the vehicle. Otherwise anaccident may occur.

Replacing wheelsWHEN TO REPLACE YOUR WHEELS

If you have wheel damage such asbending, cracks or heavy corrosion, thewheel should be replaced.

If you fail to replace damaged wheels, thetire may slip off the wheel or cause lossof handling control.

WHEEL SELECTION

When replacing wheels, care should betaken to ensure that the wheels are re-placed by ones with the same load ca-pacity, diameter, rim width, and offset.

Correct replacement wheels are availableat your Toyota dealer.

A wheel of a different size or type mayadversely affect handling, wheel and bear-ing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odom-eter calibration, stopping ability, headlightaim, bumper height, vehicle ground clear-ance, and tire or snow chain clearance tothe body and chassis.

Replacement with used wheels is not rec-ommended as they may have been sub-jected to rough treatment or high mileageand could fail without warning. Also, bentwheels which have been straightened mayhave structural damage and thereforeshould not be used. Never use an innertube in a leaking wheel which is designedfor a tubeless tire.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

259

Aluminum wheel precautions# When installing aluminum wheels,

check that the wheel nuts are tightafter driving your vehicle the first 1600km (1000 miles).

# If you have rotated, repaired, orchanged your tires, check that thewheel nuts are still tight after driving1600 km (1000 miles).

# When using tire chains, be careful notto damage the aluminum wheels.

# Use only the Toyota wheel nuts andwrench designed for your aluminumwheels.

# When balancing your wheels, use onlyToyota balance weights or equivalentand a plastic or rubber hammer.

# As with any wheel, periodically checkyour aluminum wheels for damage. Ifdamaged, replace immediately.

Checking and replacing fuses

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

265

If the headlights or other electricalcomponents do not work, check thefuses. If any of the fuses are blown,they must be replaced.

See ”Fuse locations” in Section 7−1 forlocations of the fuses.

Turn the ignition switch and inoperativecomponent off. Pull a suspected fusestraight out and check it.

Determine which fuse may be causing theproblem. The lid of the fuse box showsthe name of the circuit for each fuse. SeeSection 8 of this manual for the functionscontrolled by each circuit.

Type A fuses can be pulled out by thepull−out tool. The location of the pull−outtool is shown in the illustration.

If you are not sure whether the fuse hasblown, try replacing the suspected fusewith one that you know is good.

If the fuse has blown, push a new fuseinto the clip.

Only install a fuse with the amperage rat-ing designated on the fuse box lid.

If you do not have a spare fuse, in anemergency you can pull out the ”RADIO”,”DOME” or ”RR A.C” fuse, which may bedispensable for normal driving, and use itif its amperage rating is the same.

If you cannot use one of the same amper-age, use one that is lower than, but asclose as possible to, the rating. If theamperage is lower than that specified, thefuse might blow out again but this doesnot indicate anything wrong. Be sure toget the correct fuse as soon as possibleand return the substitute to its originalclip.

It is a good idea to purchase a set ofspare fuses and keep them in your ve-hicle for emergencies.

If the new fuse immediately blows out,there is a problem with the electrical sys-tem. Have your Toyota dealer correct it assoon as possible.

CAUTION

Never use a fuse with a higher amper-age rating, or any other object, inplace of a fuse. This may cause ex-tensive damage and possibly a fire.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

266

Adding washer fluidIf any washer does not work, the wash-er tank may be empty. Add washerfluid.

You may use plain water as washer fluid.However, in cold areas where tempera-tures range below freezing point, usewasher fluid containing antifreeze. Thisproduct is available at your Toyota dealerand most auto parts stores. Follow themanufacturer’s directions for how much tomix with water.

NOTICE

! Do not use engine antifreeze or anyother substitute because it maydamage your vehicle’s paint.

! Do not fill washer fluid over the”NORMAL” level.

Replacing light bulbs—The following illustrations show how togain access to the bulbs. When replacinga bulb, make sure the ignition switch andlight switch are off. Use bulbs with thewattage ratings given in the table.

CAUTION

Halogen bulbs have pressurized gasinside and require special handling.They can burst or shatter if scratchedor dropped. Hold a bulb only by itsplastic or metal case. Do not touchthe glass part of a bulb with barehands.

NOTICE

Only use a bulb of the listed type.

The inside of the lens of exterior lightssuch as headlights may temporarily fog upwhen the lens becomes wet in the rain orin a car wash. This is not a problembecause the fogging is caused by thetemperature difference between the outsideand inside of the lens, just like the wind-shield fogged up in the rain. However, ifthere is a large drop of water on theinseide of the lens, or if there is waterpooled inside the light, contact your Toyo-ta dealer.

If you believe that your vehicle hasa defect which could cause a crashor could cause injury or death, youshould immediately inform the Na-tional Highway Traffic Safety Ad-ministration (NHTSA) in addition tonotifying Toyota Motor Sales,U.S.A., Inc. (Toll−free:1−800−331−4331).

If NHTSA receives similar com-plaints, it may open an investiga-tion, and if it finds that a safety de-fect exists in a group of vehicles, itmay order a recall and remedycampaign. However, NHTSA cannotbecome involved in individual prob-lems between you, your dealer, orToyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

To contact NHTSA, you may eithercall the Auto Safety Hotline toll−freeat 1−800−424−9393 (or 366−0123in Washington, D.C. area) or writeto: NHTSA, U.S. Department ofTransportation, Washington, D.C.20590. You can also obtain otherinformation about motor vehiclesafety from the Hotline.

Uniform tire quality gradingThis information has been prepared in ac-cordance with regulations issued by theNational Highway Traffic Safety Adminis-tration of the U.S. Department of Trans-portation. It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Toyotavehicles with information on uniform tirequality grading.

Your Toyota dealer will help answer anyquestions you may have as you read thisinformation.

DOT quality grades—All passenger ve-hicle tires must conform to FederalSafety Requirements in addition tothese grades. Quality grades can befound where applicable on the tire side-wall between tread shoulder and maxi-mum section width. For example: Tread-wear 200 Traction AA Temperature A.

Reporting safety defects forU.S. owners

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)

283

Tread wear—The tread wear grade is acomparative rating based on the wear rateof the tire when tested under controlledconditions on a specified government testcourse. For example, a tire graded 150would wear one and a half (1−1/2) timesas well on the government course as atire graded 100. The relative performanceof tires depends upon the actual condi-tions of their use, however, and may de-part significantly from the norm due tovariations in driving habits, service prac-tices and differences in road characteris-tics and climate.

Traction AA, A, B, C—The tractiongrades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A,B, and C, and they represent the tire’sability to stop on wet pavement as mea-sured under controlled conditions on spe-cified government test surfaces of asphaltand concrete. A tire marked C may havepoor traction performance.

Warning: The traction grade assigned tothis tire is based on braking (straightahead) traction tests and does not includecornering (turning) traction.

Temperature A, B, C—The temperaturegrades are A (the highest), B, and C,representing the tire’s resistance to thegeneration of heat and its ability to dissi-pate heat when tested under controlledconditions on a specified indoor laboratorytest wheel. Sustained high temperaturecan cause the material of the tire to de-generate and reduce tire life, and exces-sive temperature can lead to sudden tirefailure. The grade C corresponds to a lev-el of performance which all passenger cartires must meet under the Federal MotorVehicle Safety Standard No. 109. GradesB and A represent higher levels of perfor-mance on the laboratory test wheel thanthe minimum required by law.

Warning: The temperature grades for thistire are established for a tire that is prop-erly inflated and not overloaded. Exces-sive speed, underinflation, or excessiveloading, either separately or in combina-tion, can cause heat buildup and possibletire failure.
