For your information

Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equipment, including options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment not installed on your vehicle.

All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing. However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.

Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ from your vehicle in terms of equipment.

Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear a sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.

A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota vehi- cles are currently available on the market. You should know that Toyota does not warrant these products and is not responsible for their performance, repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.

This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota products. Modi- fication with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its performance, safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may not be covered under warranty.

The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as:

Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system

Cruise control system (if equipped)

Anti-lock brake system

SRS airbag system

Seat belt pretensioner system

Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or spe- cial instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.

Your Toyota is equipped with several sophisticated computers that will record certain data, such as:

Engine speed Accelerator status Brake status Vehicle speed Shift position (except manual transmission)

The recorded data varies according to the vehicle grade level and options with which it is equipped. Furthermore, these computers do not record con- versations, sounds or pictures.

Data usage Toyota may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose malfunc- tions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.

Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:

With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if the vehicle is leased

In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern- ment agency

For use by Toyota in a lawsuit For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or

vehicle owner

Installation of a mobile two-way radio system

Vehicle data recordings

8

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main pur- pose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicles systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

How various systems in your vehicle were operating; Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fas-

tened; How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake

pedal; and, How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.

NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situ- ation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi- tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

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

An agreement from the vehicles owner (or the lessee for a leased vehi- cle) is obtained

In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern- ment agency

For use by Toyota in a lawsuit However, if necessary, Toyota may:

Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing

information about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner

Event data recorder

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

Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These compo- nents may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote con- trol batteries.

Scrapping of your Toyota

Perchlorate Material

WARNING

General precautions while driving Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ- ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi- cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in death or serious injury.

Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or others.

General precaution regarding childrens safety Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the cigarette lighter, the windows, or other features of the vehicle. In addi- tion, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause the drivers floor mat to slip, possibly interfering with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may become difficult to stop the vehicle, leading to an accident, or leading to death or a serious injury.

When installing the drivers floor mat Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year

vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats.

Only use floor mats designed for the drivers seat.

Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro- vided.

Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.

Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.

Before driving

Check that the floor mat is securely fixed in the correct place with all the provided retaining hooks (clips). Be especially careful to perform this check after cleaning the floor.

With the engine stopped and the shift lever in P (automatic transmission) or N (manual transmission), fully depress each pedal to the floor to make sure it does not interfere with the floor mat.

24 1-1. For safe use

For safety drive

Adjust the angle of the seat- back so that you are sitting straight up and so that you do not have to lean forward to steer. (P. 98)

Adjust the seat so that you can depress the pedals fully and so that your arms bend slightly at the elbow when gripping the steering wheel. (P. 98, 107)

Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head restraint closest to the top of your ears. (P. 104)

Wear the seat belt correctly. (P. 26)

Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driv- ing the vehicle. (P. 26) Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicles seat belt. (P. 53)

Make sure that you can see the rear of the vehicle clearly, by adjust- ing the inside and outside rear view mirrors properly. (P. 109, 111)

For safe driving, adjust the seat and mirror to an appropriate position before driving.

The pretensioners help the seat belts to quickly restrain the occu- pants by retracting the seat belts when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of severe frontal col- lision.

The pretensioners do not activate in the event of a minor frontal impact, a minor side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle rollover.

Emergency locking retractor (ELR) The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend so that you can move around fully.

Automatic locking retractor (ALR) When a passengers shoulder belt is completely extended and then retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more. (P. 57)

Child seat belt usage The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult size.

Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicles seat belt. (P. 53)

When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicles seat belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage. (P. 26)

Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.

Seat belt extender

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

WARNING

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

Wearing a seat belt Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.

Always wear a seat belt properly.

Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more than one person at once, including children.

Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seats and always use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.

To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than necessary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up straight and well back in the seats.

Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

WARNING

Pregnant women

People suffering illness Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (P. 26)

When children are in the vehicle Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around a childs neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.

Seat belt pretensioners Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passengers seat.

Doing so will disperse the passengers weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting the passengers weight properly. As a result, the seat belt pretensioner for the front passengers seat may not activate in the event of a collision.

If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at your Toyota dealer.

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (P. 26)

Women who are pregnant should posi- tion the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in the same manner as other occupants, extending the shoulder belt completely over the shoulder and avoid- ing belt contact with the rounding of the abdominal area.

If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only the pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suffer death or serious injury as a result of sudden braking or a colli- sion.

32 1-1. For safe use

WARNING

Seat belt damage and wear Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be

jammed in the door.

Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat belts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.

Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted. If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Toyota dealer.

Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.

Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Toyota dealer. Inappropriate handling may lead to incorrect operation.

When using the rear center seat belt

Do not allow anyone sit on the rear center seat if the rear right seat is folded down, as the seat belt buckle for the rear center seat belt is then concealed under the folded seat and cannot be used.

Do not use the rear center seat belt with either buckle released.

Fastening only one of the buckles may result in death or serious injury in case of sudden braking or a collision.

Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on infor- mation obtained from the sensors, etc. shown in the system compo- nents diagram above. This information includes crash severity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.

WARNING

SRS airbag precautions Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.

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

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises: Since the risk zone for the drivers airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) of inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag pro- vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in. (250 mm) away now, you can change your driving position in sev- eral ways:

Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the ped- als comfortably.

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

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

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

WARNING

SRS airbag precautions

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

Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys- tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. (P. 53)

If the seat belt extender has been con- nected to the front seat belt buckles but the seat belt extender has not also been fastened to the latch plate of the seat belt, the SRS front airbags will judge that the driver and front passenger are wearing the seat belt even though the seat belt has not been connected. In this case, the SRS front airbags may not activate correctly in a collision, resulting in death or serious injury in the event of a collision. Be sure to wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender.

Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard.

38 1-1. For safe use

WARNING

SRS airbag precautions

Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front passenger.

Do not allow the front seat occupants to hold items on their knees.

Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pil- lars.

Do not allow anyone to kneel on the passenger seat toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehicle.

Do not attach anything to or lean any- thing against areas such as the dash- board, steering wheel pad and lower portion of the instrument panel. These items can become projectiles when the SRS driver, front passenger and driver knee airbags deploy.

WARNING

SRS airbag precautions

Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items could become projectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS curtain shield airbags deploy.

If a vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS driver knee airbag will deploy, be sure to remove it.

Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side airbags and SRS seat cushion airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such accessories may prevent the side air- bags and seat cushion airbags from activating correctly, disable the sys- tem or cause the side airbags and seat cushion airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.

Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air- bag components. Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.

Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air- bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.

Do not attach anything to areas such as a door, windshield glass, side door glass, front or rear pillar, roof side rail and assist grip.

Do not attach any heavy, sharp or hard objects such as keys and accessories to the key. The objects may restrict the SRS driver knee airbag inflation or be thrust into the drivers seat area by the force of the deploying airbag, thus caus- ing a danger.

40 1-1. For safe use

WARNING

SRS airbag precautions If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a

door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.

If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your Toyota dealer.

Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passengers seat. Doing so will disperse the passengers weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting the passengers weight properly. As a result, the SRS front airbags for the front passenger may not deploy in the event of a collision.

Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications without consulting your Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.

Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags

Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel, instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear pillars or roof side rails

Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the occupant compartment

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying

(inflating) SRS airbag.

A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.

Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.

The windshield may crack.

SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags) The SRS front airbags and SRS seat cushion airbags will deploy in the

event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal colli- sion with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).

However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following situations:

If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact

If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle underrides, or goes under, the bed of a truck

Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pre- tensioners will activate.

The SRS front airbags and seat cushion airbag for the front passenger will not activate if there is no passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. How- ever, the SRS front airbags and seat cushion airbag for the front passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccupied.

The SRS seat cushion airbags on the front seats will not operate if the occu- pant is not wearing a seat belt.

SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle collid- ing with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orien- tation at an approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h]).

42 1-1. For safe use

Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.

Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front air- bags) The SRS front airbags and SRS seat cushion airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.

WARNING

Front passenger occupant classification system precautions Observe the following precautions regarding the front passenger occupant classification system. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

Wear the seat belt properly.

Make sure the front passengers seat belt plate has not been left inserted into the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat.

Make sure the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is not illuminated when using the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle, and reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender after making sure the AIR BAG ON indicator light is illuminated. If you use the seat belt extender while the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illumi- nated, the SRS airbags for the passenger may not activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in the event of collision.

Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or equipment (e.g. seatback pocket).

Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands or feet on the front passenger seat seatback from the rear passenger seat.

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

Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.

Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a rear seat. This may cause the AIR BAG OFF indicator light to be illuminated, which indicates that the passengers airbags will not deploy in the event of a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear seat, return the seat- back to a position where it does not touch the rear seat. Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt system.

WARNING

Front passenger occupant classification system precautions If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the AIR BAG ON indicator

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

When it is unavoidable to install a forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front pas- senger seat in the proper order. (P. 57)

Do not modify or remove the front seats.

Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Other- wise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the detection system. In this case, contact your Toyota dealer immediately.

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

Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion and seat cover, that cov- ers the seat cushion surface.

Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat.

52 1-1. For safe use

Safety information for children

It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid acci- dental contact with the shift lever, wiper switch, etc.

Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switch to avoid children opening the door while driving or operating the power window accidentally.

Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or pinch body parts, such as the power window, hood, back door, seats, etc.

Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehi- cle. Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicles seat belt.

WARNING

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the cigarette lighter, the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addi- tion, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

Child restraint systems

Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat is much safer than installing one on the front passenger seat. Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is appro-

priate to the age and size of the child.

For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the child restraint system. General installation instructions are provided in this manual. (P. 57)

A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/ shoulder belt.

The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of child restraint systems.

Points to remember

54 1-1. For safe use

Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 types according to the age and size of the child:

Selecting an appropriate child restraint system Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes

large enough to properly wear the vehicles seat belt.

If the child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat and use the vehicles seat belt. (P. 26)

WARNING

Child restraint precautions For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child

must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicles interior.

Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con- forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci- dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat even if the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat.

A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas- senger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that requires a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top tether strap anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat as far back as possible even if the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illumi- nated, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.

Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system on the front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or seri- ous injury to the child or other passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

against the door or the area of the seat, front and rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.

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

When children are in the vehicle Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around a childs neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.

When the child restraint system is not in use Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is

not in use. Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in the pas- senger compartment.

If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the vehicle or store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident.

WARNING

When installing a booster seat To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the shoulder belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause injury or discomfort to the child. (P. 29)

When installing a child restraint system Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual and fix the child restraint system securely in place. If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of the childs shoulder. The belt should be kept away from the childs neck, but not so that it could fall off the childs shoulder. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

If the drivers seat interferes with the child restraint system and prevents it from being attached correctly, attach the child restraint system to the rear right seat.

Adjust the front passenger seat so that it does not interfere with the child restraint system.

Only put a forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat when unavoidable.

When installing a forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as pos- sible even if the AIR BAG OFF indica- tor light is illuminated. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).

WARNING

When installing a child restraint system Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not

twisted.

Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward to ensure that it has been securely installed.

After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.

Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.

When a child restraint system with a top tether strap is installed, do not install the head restraint. The head restraint may interfere with the top tether strap preventing secure installation of the child restraint system.

Make sure to properly store the removed head restraint in a secure place when you use the child restraint system on the rear seat.

Do not use a seat belt extender If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of sud- den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child restraint system. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached, or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerve or an accident.

When using the rear right seat for the child restraint system, do not sit in the rear center seat. Seat belt function may be impaired, such as being positioned overly high or loose-fitting, which may result in death or serious injury in the event of sudden braking or an accident.

Exhaust gas precautions

Harmful substances to the human body are included in exhaust gases if inhale.

WARNING

Exhaust gases contain harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

Important points while driving Keep the back door closed.

If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the back door is closed, open the windows and have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

When parking If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a

garage, stop the engine.

Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time. If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.

Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.

Exhaust pipe The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there is a hole or crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your Toyota dealer.

Getting in or out the vehicle

For easy access to the rear seat, use the seatback lock release lever or seatback angle adjustment lever. When the seatback lock release lever or seatback angle adjustment lever is used, the seats original position is memorized, so the seat may be returned to that original position. The seatback will be returned to the fully upright position.

Lift the seatback lock release lever or seatback angle adjust- ment lever. The seatback will fold forward, and the seats slide lock will be released. Move the seat all the way for- ward.

Seat slide position memory function (3-door models only) Slide the seat backward and then lift the seatback. The seat will be set and locked to its previous slide position automatically, and the seatback will be returned to the fully upright position.

In the following situations, the seat slide position memory will not be saved or will be overwritten.

The seatback is lifted upright at a slide position farther forward than the memorized position.

The seat slide position is memorized when the seat is slid all the way or nearly all the way forward.

The seat is slid farther back than the memorized position by using the seat position adjustment lever.

If the seat cannot be returned to the memorized slide position Lift the seatback lock release lever or seatback angle adjustment lever after removing the luggage, or after having the passenger get out or sit properly so that the seat can be slid back to the previous position.

WARNING

When adjusting the seat position Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-

gers are not injured by the moving seat.

Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid injury. Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.

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

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the seat more than necessary. If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident. Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect- edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.

Never allow anyone to touch seatback lock release levers while the vehi- cle is moving.

If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are clear of the seat back path and let them know that the seat is about to move.

After returning the seatback to the upright position Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing it forward and rear- ward. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

To prevent the seat lock mechanism malfunction Do not use the seatback angle adjustment lever and seatback lock release lever at the same time. If they are used together, the seat lock mechanism may be damaged.

Driving in the rain Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-

dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.

Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe- cially slippery.

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

Engine speed while driving In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving. This is due to automatic up-shifting control or down-shifting implementation to meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.

The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill

When the accelerator pedal is released

Breaking in your new Toyota To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recom- mended:

For the first 200 miles (300 km): Avoid sudden stops.

For the first 500 miles (800 km) (3-door models for Canada): Do not tow a trailer.

For the first 1000 miles (1600 km):

Do not drive at extremely high speeds. Avoid sudden acceleration. Do not drive continuously in low gears. Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.

Eco Driving Indicator Light can be activated or deactivated. (P. 80)

Operating your vehicle in a foreign country Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability of the correct fuel. (P. 317)

During Eco-friendly acceleration opera- tion (Eco driving), Eco Driving Indicator Light will turn on. When the accelerator pedal is depressed excessively, and when the vehicle is stopped, the light turns off.

Eco Driving Indicator Light will not operate in the following conditions:

The shift lever is in anything other than D.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

When starting the vehicle (automatic transmission) Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.

When driving the vehicle Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel-

erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.

Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident.

When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to difficulty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.

Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accelera- tor pedals properly.

Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result- ing in an accident.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials. The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. These hot parts may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.

During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 263

Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving down a steep hill. Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness. (P. 139, 141)

Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or outside rear view mirrors while driving. Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control.

Always check that all passengers arms, heads or other parts of their body are not outside the vehicle.

Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit per- mits it, do not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicle has high- speed capability tires. Driving over 85 mph (140 km/h) may result in tire failure, loss of control and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer to determine whether the tires on your vehicle are high-speed capability tires or not before driving at such speeds.

122 4-1. Before driving

WARNING

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

When driving on slippery road surfaces Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and

reduce your ability to control the vehicle.

Sudden acceleration, engine braking due to shifting, or changes in engine speed could cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident.

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

When shifting the shift lever On vehicles with an automatic transmission, do not let the vehicle roll

backward while the shift lever is in a driving position, or roll forward while the shift lever is in R. Doing so may cause the engine to stall or lead to poor brake and steering performance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehicle.

On vehicles with an automatic transmission, do not shift the shift lever to P while the vehicle is moving. Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.

Do not shift the shift lever to R while the vehicle is moving forward. Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.

Do not shift the shift lever to D (automatic transmission) or 1 (manual transmission) while the vehicle is moving backward. Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.

Shifting the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the engine from the transmission. Engine braking is not available when N is selected.

On vehicles with an automatic transmission, be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed. Shifting the shift lever to a gear other than P or N may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.

1234-1. Before driving

D riving

WARNING

If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear limit indica- tors) Have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when needed.

It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads and/or those of the brake discs are exceeded.

When the vehicle is stopped Do not race the engine.

If the vehicle is in any gear other than P (automatic transmission) or N, the vehicle may accelerate suddenly and unexpectedly, causing an accident.

On vehicles with an automatic transmission, in order to prevent accidents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep depressing the brake pedal while the engine is running, and apply the parking brake as necessary.

If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused by the vehicle rolling forward or backward, always depress the brake pedal and securely apply the parking brake as needed.

Avoid revving or racing the engine. Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause the exhaust system to overheat, which could result in a fire if combustible material is nearby.

When the vehicle is parked Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in

the vehicle when it is in the sun. Doing so may result in the following:

Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a fire.

The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and plastic material of glasses to deform or crack.

Soft drink cans may rupture, causing the contents to spray over the interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicles electrical components.

Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a place such as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally when luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.

124 4-1. Before driving

WARNING

Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place containers such as air fresheners on the instrument panel or dashboard. Adhesive discs or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehi- cle.

Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a metallized film such as a silver-colored one. Reflected sunlight may cause the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.

Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P (automatic trans- mission), stop the engine and lock the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.

Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or immediately after turning the engine off. Doing so may cause burns.

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

When braking When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.

Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.

If the power brake assist function does not operate, do not follow other vehicles closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking. In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.

Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls. Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted brakes.

The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems; if one of the systems fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.

Cargo and luggage

Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants.

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

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit

(1) Locate the statement The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs. on your vehicles placard.

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

(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.

(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and lug- gage load capacity.

For example, if the XXX amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 750 (5 150) = 650 lbs.)

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

Take notice of the following information about storage precau- tions, cargo capacity and load:

Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever possible.

Be sure all items are secured in place.

To maintain vehicle balance while driving, position luggage evenly within the luggage compartment.

For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight.

Capacity and distribution

128 4-1. Before driving

(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

Toyota does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed for trailer towing.

Cargo capacity

Total load capacity (vehicle capacity weight) (P. 306)

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

B*2 lb. (kg) A*1 lb. (kg) = C*3 lb. (kg)

*1: A = Weight of people

*2: B = Total load capacity

*3: C = Available cargo and luggage load

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

C lb. (kg) D*4 lb. (kg) = E*5 lb. (kg)

*4: D = Additional weight of people

*5: E = Available cargo and luggage load

Calculation formula for your vehicle

D riving

As shown in the example above, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo and luggage load will be reduced by an amount that equals the increased weight due to the additional occupants. In other words, if an increase in the number of occupants causes an excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load), you must reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle.

WARNING

Things that must not be carried in the luggage compartment The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compart- ment:

Receptacles containing gasoline

Aerosol cans

Storage precautions Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the pedals from being depressed properly, may block the drivers vision, or may result in items hitting the driver or passengers, possibly causing an accident.

Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever possi- ble.

Do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the seatbacks.

Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations:

At the feet of the driver On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items) On the luggage cover On the instrument panel On the dashboard

Secure all items in the occupant compartment.

When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be place directly behind the front seats.

Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts properly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer death or serious bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

130 4-1. Before driving

WARNING

Capacity and distribution Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle

weight rating.

Even if the total load of occupants weight and the cargo load is less than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking control which may cause death or serious injury.

Before refueling the vehicle

WARNING

When refueling the vehicle Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.

Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it. A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened. Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck and cause injury.

Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their body to come close to an open fuel tank.

Do not inhale vaporized fuel. Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.

Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle. Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.

Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically charged. This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition hazard.

When to replace your vehicles tires Tires should be replaced if:

You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose the fabric, and bulges indicating internal damage

A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage

If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer.

Replacing tires and wheels (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not reg- istered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. After driv- ing for about 20 minutes, the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute and stays on to indicate a system malfunction.

Tire life Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if it has seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious.

Routine tire inflation pressure checks (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) The tire pressure warning system does not replace routine tire inflation pressure checks. Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine of daily vehicle checks.

Low profile tires (vehicles with 195/50R16 tires) Generally, low profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire grip perfor- mance will be reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when compared to standard tires. Be sure to use snow tires or tire chains on snowy and/or icy roads and drive carefully at a speed appropriate for road and weather conditions.

Maximum load of tire Check that the maximum load of the replacement tire is greater than 1/2 of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle or the rear axle, whichever is greater.

Tire types Summer tires

Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow-covered or icy roads. For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. When install- ing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.

All season tires

All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most winter conditions as well as for use year-round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance com- pared with summer tires in highway driving.

Snow tires

For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using snow tires. If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, con- struction and load capacity as the originally installed tires. Since your vehicle has radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snow tires also have radial construction. Do not install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restrictions. Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. (P. 167)

For the GAWR, see the Certification Label. For the maximum load of the tire, see the load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure mentioned on the sidewall of the tire. (P. 320)

228 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

Initializing the tire pressure warning system (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) Initialize the system with the tire inflation pressure adjusted to the speci- fied level.

If the tread on snow tires wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm) The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.

If you press the tire pressure warning reset switch accidentally (vehi- cles with a tire pressure warning system) If initialization is performed, adjust the tire inflation pressure to the speci- fied level and initialize the tire pressure warning system again.

When the initialization of the tire pressure warning system has failed (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) Initialization can be completed in a few minutes. However, in the following cases, the settings has not been recorded and the system will not operate properly. If repeated attempts to record tire inflation pressure settings are unsuccessful, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

When operating the tire pressure warning reset switch, the tire pressure warning light does not blink 3 times.

After driving for a certain period of time since the initialization has been completed, the warning light comes on after blinks for 1 minute.

WARNING

When inspecting or replacing tires Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents. Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train as well as dangerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns. Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear.

Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.

Do not mix differently constructed tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply tires).

Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires.

Do not use tires that have been used on another vehicle. Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously.

Do not tow if your vehicle has a compact spare tire installed.

When initializing the tire pressure warning system (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) Do not operate the tire pressure warning reset switch without first adjusting the tire inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the tire pressure warning light may not come on even if the tire inflation pressure is low, or it may come on when the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.

230 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

NOTICE

Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves, transmitters and tire valve caps (vehicles with a tire pressure warn- ing system) When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning

valves and transmitters, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pres- sure warning valves and transmitters may be damaged if not handled correctly.

When replacing tire valve caps, do not use tire valve caps other than those specified. The cap may become stuck.

To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmit- ters (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the tire. (P. 224)

Driving on rough roads Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or pot- holes. These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the cushioning ability of the tires. In addition, driving on rough roads may cause damage to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicles wheels and body.

Low profile tires (vehicles with 195/50R16 tires) Low profile tires may cause greater damage than usual to the tire wheel when sustaining impact from the road surface. Therefore, pay attention to the following:

Be sure to use proper tire inflation pressure. If tires are under-inflated, they may be damaged more severely.

Avoid potholes, uneven pavement, curbs and other road hazards. Fail- ure to do so may lead to severe tire and wheel damage.

If tire inflation pressure of each tire becomes low while driving Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.

Tire inflation pressure check interval You should check tire inflation pressure every two weeks, or at least once a month. Do not forget to check the spare.

Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:

Reduced fuel efficiency

Reduced driving comfort and tire life

Reduced safety

Damage to the drive train

If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:

Check only when the tires are cold. If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.

Always use a tire pressure gauge. The appearance of the tire can be misleading. In addition, tire inflation pressure that is even just a few pounds off can affect ride quality and handling.

Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after driving. It is normal for tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving.

Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight. Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.

234 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

WARNING

Proper inflation is critical to save tire performance Keep your tires properly inflated. Otherwise, the following conditions may occur and result in an accident causing death or serious injury:

Excessive wear

Uneven wear

Poor handling

Possibility of blowouts resulting from overheated tires

Poor sealing of the tire bead

Wheel deformation and/or tire separation

A greater possibility of tire damage from road hazards

NOTICE

When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on. Without the valve caps, dirt or moisture could get into the valve and cause air leakage, which could result in an accident. If the caps are lost, replace them as soon as possible.

Wheels

When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width and inset*. Replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer. *: Conventionally referred to as offset.

Toyota does not recommend using the following: Wheels of different sizes or types

Used wheels

Bent wheels that have been straightened

Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with your aluminum wheels.

When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).

Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire chains.

Use only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and a plas- tic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.

If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause a loss of handling control.

Wheel selection

Aluminum wheel precautions (if equipped)

236 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

When replacing wheels (vehicles with a tire pressure warning sys- tem) The wheels of your vehicle, except for the compact spare tire, are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pres- sure warning valves and transmitters must be installed. (P. 224)

WARNING

When replacing wheels Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in

the Owners Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control.

Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or seri- ous injury.

When installing the wheel nuts

Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts. Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened, leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing an accident and resulting in death or serious injury. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.

Use of defective wheels prohibited Do not use cracked or deformed wheels. Doing so could cause the tire to leak air during driving, possibly causing an accident.

Be sure to install the wheel nuts with the tapered ends facing inward. Installing the nuts with the tapered ends facing outward can cause the wheel to break and eventually cause the wheel to come off while driving, which could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

After a fuse is replaced If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb may

need replacement. (P. 248)

If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

If there is an overload in a circuit The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.

When replacing light bulbs Toyota recommends that you use genuine Toyota products designed for this vehicle. Because certain bulbs are connected to circuits designed to prevent overload, non-genuine parts or parts not designed for this vehicle may be unusable.

When reinstalling the cover (type C fuse box)

Reinstall the cover, and then hook the rubber strips groove onto the cover.

WARNING

To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause damage to the vehicle, and possibly a fire or injury.

Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than that indicated, or use any other object in place of a fuse.

Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent. Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.

Do not modify the fuses or fuse boxes.

WARNING

Maintenance of the tire (vehicles with a tire pressure warning sys- tem) Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a dif- ferent size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) illumi- nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under- inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicles handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub- stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the drivers responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light).

280 7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

WARNING

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

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

NOTICE

To ensure the tire pressure warning system operates properly (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) Do not install tires with different specifications or makers, as the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly.

WARNING

Replacing a flat tire Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in serious injury:

Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.

Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immedi- ately after the vehicle has been driven. After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area around the brakes will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other body parts while changing a tire, etc., may result in burns.

Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.

Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 76 ftlbf (103 Nm, 10.5 kgfm) as soon as possible after changing wheels.

When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifi- cally designed for that wheel.

If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut threads or bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the tapered ends facing inward. (P. 236)

288 7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

Remove any dirt or foreign mat- ter from the wheel contact sur- face.

If foreign matter is on the wheel contact surface, the wheel nuts may loosen while the vehicle is in motion, causing the tire to come off.

Install the tire and loosely tighten each wheel nut by hand by approximately the same amount.

When replacing a steel wheel with a compact spare tire, tighten the wheel nuts until the tapered portion comes into loose contact with the disc wheel seat.

Fuel information

Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehicle has a fuel tank opening that only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.

Gasoline quality In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gaso- line you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.

Gasoline quality standards Automotive manufacturers in the U.S.A., Europe and Japan have developed

a specification for fuel quality called World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC), which is expected to be applied worldwide.

The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emission levels. In the U.S., category 4 has been adopted.

The WWFC improves air quality by lowering emissions in vehicle fleets, and improves customer satisfaction through better performance.

Recommendation of the use of gasoline containing detergent additives Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to

avoid the build-up of engine deposits.

All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains minimum detergent additives to clean and/or keep clean intake systems, per EPAs lowest additives concen- tration program.

Toyota strongly recommends the use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For more information on Top Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list of marketers, please go to the official website www.toptiergas.com.

You must only use unleaded gasoline in your vehicle. Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87 may result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to engine damage.

At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB3.5-M93 in Canada.

Recommendation of the use of cleaner burning gasoline Cleaner burning gasoline, including reformulated gasoline that contains oxy- genates such as ethanol or MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is available in many areas.

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

Non-recommendation of the use of blended gasoline

If you use gasohol in your vehicle, be sure that it has an octane rating no lower than 87.

Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.

Non-recommendation of the use of gasoline containing MMT Some gasoline contains an octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcy- clopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).

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

The malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this happens, contact your Toyota dealer for service.

Use only gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol. DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gasoline that could contain more than 15% etha- nol, including from any pump labeled E30, E50, E85 (which are only some examples of fuel containing more than 15% ethanol).

DO NOT use gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol.

If your engine knocks Consult your Toyota dealer.

You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerat- ing or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

NOTICE

Notice on fuel quality Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be

damaged.

Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicles three-way catalytic converters causing the emission control system to malfunction.

Do not use gasohol other than the type previously stated. Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems.

Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than the level previously stated will cause persistent heavy knocking. At worst, this will lead to engine damage.

Fuel-related poor driveability If poor driveability is encountered after using a different type of fuel (poor hot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.), discontinue the use of that type of fuel.

When refueling with gasohol Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicles paint.

This information has been prepared in accordance with regulations issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation. It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Toyota vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading.

Your Toyota dealer will help answer any questions you may have as you read this information.

DOT quality grades

All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Require- ments in addition to these grades. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.

For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a speci- fied government test course.

For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual condi- tions of their use. Performance may differ significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading

3258-1. Specifications

V e

hicle spe

cifications

Traction AA, A, B, C

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they represent the tires ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.

A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turn- ing) traction.

Temperature A, B, C

The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tires resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissi- pate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.

The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all pas- senger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.

Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the labo- ratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either sepa- rately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

Prcautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS Respectez les prcautions suivantes concernant les coussins gonflables SRS. dfaut, des blessures graves, voire mortelles, pourraient sensuivre.

Le conducteur et tous les passagers bord du vhicule doivent porter leur ceinture de scurit correctement. Les coussins gonflables SRS sont des dispositifs de protection compl- mentaires aux ceintures de scurit.

Le coussin gonflable SRS conducteur se dploie avec une puissance con- sidrable et peut occasionner des blessures graves, voire mortelles, nota- mment lorsque le conducteur se trouve trs prs du coussin gonflable.

Lautorit fdrale charge de la scurit routire aux tats-Unis, la NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) conseille: Sachant que la zone de danger pour le coussin gonflable conducteur se trouve dans les premiers 50 75 mm (2 3 pouces) du dploiement, placez-vous 250 mm (10 pouces) du coussin gonflable conducteur pour garantir une marge de scurit suffisante. Cette distance est mesurer entre le moyeu du volant de direction et le sternum. Si vous tes assis moins de 10 in. (250 mm), vous pouvez changer votre position de con- duite de plusieurs faons:

Reculez votre sige le plus possible, tout en continuant pouvoir atteindre confortablement les pdales.

Inclinez lgrement le dossier du sige. Bien que les vhicules soient diffrents les uns des autres, la plupart des conducteurs peuvent sasseoir une distance de 250 mm (10 in.), mme avec le sige con- ducteur compltement avanc, simplement en inclinant un peu le dos- sier de sige. Si vous avez des difficults voir la route aprs avoir inclin votre sige, utilisez un coussin ferme et antidrapant pour vous rehausser ou, si votre vhicule est quip du rglage en hauteur du sige, remontez-le.

Si votre volant de direction est rglable, inclinez-le vers le bas. Cela vous permet dorienter le coussin gonflable vers votre buste plutt que vers la tte et le cou.

Le sige doit tre rgl selon les recommandations de la NHTSA ci-des- sus, tout en conservant le contrle des pdales et du volant, et la vue des commandes au tableau de bord.

346

ATTENTION

Prcautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS

Le coussin gonflable SRS passager avant se dploie galement avec une puissance considrable et peut occasionner des blessures graves, voire mortelles, notamment lorsque le passager avant se trouve trs prs du coussin gonflable. Le sige du passager avant doit se trouver le plus loin possible du coussin gonflable et le dossier doit tre rgl de manire ce que le passager avant soit assis bien droit.

Le dploiement dun coussin gonflable peut infliger des blessures graves, voire mortelles, aux nourrissons et aux enfants mal assis et/ou mal attachs. Installez dans un sige de scurit enfant les enfants trop jeunes pour pouvoir utiliser la ceinture de scurit. Toyota recommande vivement que tous les nourrissons et enfants soient installs dans les siges arrire du vhicule et convenablement attachs. Les siges arrire sont plus srs pour les nourrissons et les enfants que le sige passager avant.

Ninstallez jamais un sige de scurit enfant type dos la route sur le sige passager avant, mme si le voyant AIR BAG OFF est allum. En cas daccident, la force exerce par le dploiement rapide du coussin gon- flable passager avant peut causer des blessures graves, voire mortelles un enfant, si le sige de scurit enfant type dos la route est install sur le sige passager avant.

Si vous attachez une rallonge de cein- ture de scurit aux boucles des cein- tures de siges avant, mais pas au pne de la ceinture de scurit propre- ment dite, les coussins gonflables SRS frontaux dterminent que le conducteur et le passager avant portent leur cein- ture de scurit, alors mme quelle nest pas attache. Dans ce cas, les coussins gonflables SRS frontaux ris- quent de ne pas se dployer correcte- ment en cas de collision, causant des blessures graves, voire mortelles. Veillez porter la ceinture de scurit avec la rallonge de ceinture de scurit.

Ne pas sasseoir sur le bord du sige et ne pas sappuyer contre la planche de bord.

Prcautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS

Ne pas suspendre aux crochets vtements un cintre nu ni aucun objet dur ou tranchant. En cas de dploiement des coussins gonflables SRS rideau, tous ces objets pourraient se transformer en projectiles et causer des blessures graves, voire mortelles.

Si une housse en vinyle recouvre la partie o le coussin gonflable SRS de genoux conducteur se dploie, veillez lenlever.

Nutilisez aucun accessoire de sige venant recouvrir les zones de dploiement des coussins gonflables SRS latraux et des coussins gon- flables SRS dassise de sige, car il risquerait den gner le dploiement. De tels accessoires peuvent empcher les coussins gonflables latraux et dassise de sige de fonctionner correctement, neutraliser le systme ou provoquer le dploiement accidentel des coussins gonflables latraux et dassise de sige, provoquant ainsi des blessures graves, voire mortelles.

vitez de faire subir des chocs ou des pressions excessives aux parties renfermant les composants des coussins gonflables SRS. En effet, cela pourrait entraner un mauvais fonctionnement des coussins gonflables SRS.

Ne touchez aucun composant du systme immdiatement aprs le dclenchement (dploiement) des coussins gonflables SRS, car ils sont alors encore trs chauds.

Ne rien fixer aux portes, la vitre de pare-brise, aux vitres latrales, aux montants avant et arrire, au rail latral de toit et la poigne de maintien.

Ne pas attacher la cl des objets lourds, pointus ou trs durs, comme dautres cls par exemple. Ces objets risquent dentraver le dploiement du coussin gonflable SRS de genoux con- ducteur ou dtre projets en direction du sige conducteur par la force de dploiement, constituant ainsi un dan- ger potentiel.
