Keys

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys.

1. Master keyThis key works in every

lock.

2. Sub keyThis key will not work in the

back door and glove box.

To protect things locked in the glove box or luggage compartment when you have your vehicle parked, leave the sub key with the attendant.

Since the side doors and back door can be locked without a key, you should al- ways carry a spare master key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.

KEY NUMBER PLATE

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

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

We recommend to write down the key number and keep it in safe place.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

20 2001 CELICA (20766U)

To operate the moon roof, use the switch beside the interior light.

The moon roof works when the ignition switch is in the ON" position.

Key off operation: If both side doors are closed, it works for 43 seconds even after

the ignition switch is turned off. It stops working when either side door is opened.

Tilting operation

To tilt up: Push the switch briefly on the OPEN" side. The roof will tilt up com- pletely.

To stop the roof partway, push the switch

either the OPEN" or CLOSE" side briefly.

The sun shade will open lightly with the moon roof. To open the sun shade com- pletely, pull it back by hand.

To lower: Push the switch briefly on the CLOSE" side. The roof will lower com- pletely.

Sliding operation

To open (with the roof tilting up): Push the switch on the OPEN" side briefly. The roof will open completely.

To open (with the roof tilting down): Push the switch on the OPEN" side for more than 2 seconds. The roof will open com- pletely after tilting up.

To stop the roof partway, push the switch either the OPEN" or CLOSE" side briefly.

The sun shade will be opened together with the roof.

To close: Push the switch briefly on the CLOSE" side. The roof will close com- pletely.

Sun shade operation

The sun shade can be closed by hand.

Jam protection function: During closing operation, the moon roof stops and opens

half way if something gets caught between the moon roof and frame.

If the moon roof receives a strong impact,

this function may work even if nothing is caught.

When the battery is disconnected, the moon roof cannot operate automatically and the jam protection function will not

function correctly. Therefore, you need to normalize the moon roof as follows.

To normalize: Close the moon roof, and

continue to hold the switch up briefly after the moon roof reaches the completely closed position and the motor is blocked.

If the moon roof cannot be operated prop- erly, have it checked by your Toyota deal-

er.

There are cases where malfunctions may activate the jam protection function, which will prevent the roof from closing com-

pletely. In this case, pushing and holding the switch on the CLOSE" side will close the roof completely.

CAUTION

To avoid serious personal injury, you

must do the following.

While the vehicle is moving, always keep the head, hands and other

parts of the body of all occupants away from the roof opening. Other- wise, you could be seriously injured

if the vehicle stops suddenly or if the vehicle is involved in an acci- dent.

Always make sure nobody places his/her head, hands and other parts

of the body in the roof opening be- fore you close the roof. If some- ones neck, head or hands gets

caught in the closing roof, it could result in a serious injury. When anyone closes the roof, first make

sure it is safe to do so.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

212001 CELICA (20766U)

Never leave small children alone in

the vehicle, especially with the igni- tion key still inserted. They could use the moon roof switches and get

trapped in the roof opening. Unat- tended children can become in- volved in serious accidents.

Never sit on top of the vehicle around the roof opening.

Never try jamming any part of your body to make the jam protection function work intentionally.

The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught

just before the moon roof is fully closed.

NOTICE

There is the possibility that water

or rain will get into the vehicle if you operate the moon roof after a rainfall, snowfall or car wash. Wipe

the moon roof dry with a cloth be- fore operating it.

Do not touch the plastic resin moon

roof with anything hard or sharp. The roof is damaged more easily than ordinary glass.

When washing the plastic resin moon roof, use a mild soap or neu-

tral detergent. Do not use wax, win- dow cleaner or abrasive clean- erthese may damage the plastic

resin moon roof. (See Washing and waxing your Toyota" in Section 5.)

Do not use organic substances (gasoline, kerosene, benzine or strong solvents), which may toxic

or cause damage.

Do not use window scraper or deic- er when the plastic resin moon roof

is heavily coated with frost or ice. The plastic resin moon roof is easi- ly damaged.

Seats

While the vehicle is being driven, all ve-

hicle occupants should have the seatback

upright, sit well back in the seat and prop-

erly wear the seat belts provided.

CAUTION

Do not drive the vehicle unless the

occupants are properly seated. Do not allow sitting on top of a foldeddown seatback, or in the

luggage compartment. Persons not properly seated and/or properly re- strained by seat belts can be se-

verely injured in the event of emer- gency braking or a collision.

During driving, do not allow pas-

sengers to stand up or move around between seats. Severe inju- ries can occur in the event of emer-

gency braking or a collision.

CAUTION

The SRS side airbags are installed in

the driver and front passenger seats, observe the following precautions.

Do not lean against the front door

when the vehicle is in use. The side airbag inflates with considerable speed and force; you may be killed

or seriously injured.

Do not modify or replace the seats

or surface of the front seats with the side airbags. Such changes may disable the system or cause the

side airbags to inflate, resulting in death or serious injury. Consult your Toyota dealer.

Do not use accessories for the seats which cover the parts where

the side airbags should inflate. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correct-

ly, causing death or serious injury.

Adjust the drivers seat so that the foot pedals, steering wheel and instrument panel controls are within easy reach of the driver.

CAUTION

Adjustments should not be made

while the vehicle is moving, as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of

the vehicle.

When adjusting the seat, be careful not to hit the seat against a pas-

senger or luggage.

After adjusting the seat position,

try sliding it forward and backward to make sure it is locked in posi- tion.

After adjusting the seatback, exert body pressure to make sure it is

locked in position.

Do not put objects under the seats. The objects may interfere with the

seatlock mechanism or unexpect- edly push up the seat position ad- justing lever; the seat may suddenly

move, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

While adjusting the seat, do not put

your hands under the seat or near the moving parts. You may jam your hands or fingers.

Adjusting front seats

1. SEAT POSITION ADJUSTING LEVER

Hold the center of the lever and pull it up. Then slide the seat to the desired position with slight body pressure and

release the lever.

2. SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING

LEVER

Lean forward and pull the lever up. Then lean back to the desired angle and release the lever.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of sliding under

the lap belt during a collision, avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed. The seat belts provide maxi-

mum protection in a frontal or rear collision when the driver and the pas- senger are sitting up straight and

well back in the seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and apply restraint forces

directly to the abdomen. Therefore, in the event of a frontal collision, the risk of personal injury may increase

with increasing recline of the seat- back.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

3. SEAT CUSHION ANGLE ADJUSTING

KNOB

Turn the knob either way.

For easy access to the rear seat, do this.

1. Lift the seatback angle adjusting lever or press the pedal behind the seat- back.

The seat will slide forward.

2. Move the seat to the frontmost posi-

tion.

After passengers are in, lift up the seat-

back and return the seat until it locks.

CAUTION

After putting back the seat, try

pushing the seat forward and rear- ward to make sure it is secured in place.

Never allow anyone to rest their foot on the release pedal while the vehicle is moving.

Folddown rear seat

1. Make sure the shoulder belt passes through the hanger when folding the

rear seat.

This prevents the shoulder belt from being

damaged.

CAUTION

The seat belt must be removed from

the hanger when the seat belt is in use.

2. Pull the lock release button and fold down the seatback.

Each seatback may be folded separately.

This will enlarge the luggage compartment as far as the front seatbacks. See Lug- gage stowage precautions" in Section 2 for precautions in loading luggage.

CAUTION

When returning the seatback to the

upright position:

Make sure the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback

and are arranged in their proper position and are ready to use.

Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing forward and rear- ward on the top of the seatback

and that the red mark at the button on the top of the seatback cannot be seen. Failure to do so will pre-

vent seat belt from operating pro- perly.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

28 2001 CELICA (20766U)

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

Child. Use a child restraint system ap- propriate for the child until the child be-

comes large enough to properly wear the vehicles seat belts. See Child restraint" for details.

If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicles seat belt. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

If a child must sit in the front seat, the

seat belts should be worn properly. If an accident occurs and the seat belts are not worn properly, the force of the rapid infla-

tion of the airbag may cause death or serious injury to the child.

Do not allow the child to stand up or kneel on either rear or front seats. An

unrestrained child could suffer serious in-

jury or death during emergency braking or a collision. Also, do not let the child sit

on your lap. It does not provide sufficient

restraint.

Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Ask your doctor for

specific recommendations. The lap belt

should be worn securely and as low as possible over the hips and not on the

waist.

Injured person. Toyota recommends the

use of a seat belt. Depending on the inju- ry, first check with your doctor for specific

recommendations.

CAUTION

Persons should ride in their seats

properly wearing their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving. Otherwise, they are much more likely

to suffer serious bodily injury or death in the event of sudden braking or a collision.

When using the seat belts, observe the following:

Use the belt for only one person at a time. Do not use a single belt for two or more peopleeven children.

Avoid reclining the seatbacks too

much. The seat belts provide maxi- mum protection when the seatbacks are in the upright position. (Refer

to the seat adjustment instructions.)

Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. Take care that

they do not get caught or pinched in the seat or side doors.

Inspect the belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Damaged parts should be re-

placed. Do not disassemble or modify the system.

Keep the belts clean and dry. If they need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Never

use bleach, dye, or abrasive clean- ersthey may severely weaken the belts. (See Cleaning the interior"

in Section 5.)

Replace the belt assembly (includ- ing bolts) if it has been used in a

severe impact. The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious.

Seat belts

Adjust the seat as needed (front seats only) and sit up straight and well back in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the tab into the buckle.

You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle.

The seat belt length automatically adjusts to your size and the seat position.

The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It also may

lock if you lean forward too quickly. A

slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and you can move around freely.

If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly pull the belt and release

it. You will then be able to smoothly pull

the belt out of the retractor.

When a passengers shoulder belt is com-

pletely extended and is then retracted

even slightly, the belt is locked in that

position and cannot be extended. This fea- ture is used to hold the child restraint

system securely. (For details, see Child

restraint" in this section.) To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull

the belt out once more.

CAUTION

After inserting the tab, make sure

the tab and buckle are locked and that the belt is not twisted.

Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in

the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.

If the seat belt does not function normally, immediately contact your

Toyota dealer. Do not use the seat until the seat belt is fixed. It cannot protect an adult occupant or your

child from injury.

Take up slack

Too high

Keep as low on hips as possible

Adjust the position of the lap and shoulder belts.

Position the lap belt as low as possible

on your hipsnot on your waist, then ad-

just it to a snug fit by pulling the shoulder portion upward through the latch plate.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

30 2001 CELICA (20766U)

CAUTION

Both highpositioned lap belts and

loosefitting belts could cause seri- ous injuries due to sliding under the lap belt during a collision or

other unintended result. Keep the lap belt positioned as low on hips as possible.

For your safety, do not place the shoulder belt under your arm.

To release the belt, press the bucklere- lease button and allow the belt to re- tract.

If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check for kinks or twists. Then make sure it remains untwisted as it re- tracts.

The seat belt can be stowed in the tongue holder when not in use.

CAUTION

The seat belt must be removed from

the tongue holder when the seat belt is in use.

Seat belt extender

If your seat belt cannot be fastened se- curely because it is not long enough, a

personalized seat belt extender is avail-

able from your Toyota dealer free of charge.

Please contact your local Toyota dealer so

that the dealer can order the proper re-

quired length for the extender. Bring the heaviest coat you expect to wear for prop-

er measurement and selection of length.

Additional ordering information is available at your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION

When using the seat belt extender,

observe the following. Failure to fol- low these instructions could result in less effectiveness of the seat belt re-

straint system in case of vehicle acci- dent, increasing the chance of per- sonal injury.

Never use the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without it.

Remember that the extender pro-

vided for you may not be safe when used on a different vehicle, or for another person or at a different

seating position than the one origi- nally intended for.

To connect the extender to the seat belt, insert the tab into the seat belt buckle so that the PRESS" signs on the bucklerelease buttons of the ex- tender and the seat belt are both facing outward as shown.

You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle.

When releasing the seat belt, press on the bucklerelease button on the extender, not on the seat belt. This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and extend- er itself.

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

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

32 2001 CELICA (20766U)

CAUTION

After inserting the tab, make sure

the tab and buckle are locked and that the seat belt extender is not twisted.

Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and

buckle.

If the seat belt does not function

normally, immediately contact your Toyota dealer. Do not use the seat until the seat belt is fixed. It cannot

protect an adult occupant or your child from injury.

Front seat belt pretensioners

The driver and front passengers seat belt pretensioners are designed to be activated in response to a severe fron- tal impact.

When the airbag sensor detects the shock of a severe frontal impact, the front seat belts are quickly drawn back in by the

retractors so that the belts snugly restrain the front seat occupants.

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

Collisions occurring at certain speeds and angles may cause the front seat belt pre-

tensioners and SRS airbags not to operate all together.

This indicator comes on when the igni- tion key is turned to the ON" position.

It goes off after about 6 seconds. This means the front seat belt pretensioners are operating properly.

This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-

sors, side airbag sensors, door side air- bag sensors, front seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflators, warning light, inter-

connecting wiring and power sources. (For details, see Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers" in Section 15.)

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

332001 CELICA (20766U)

The front seat belt pretensioner system mainly consists of the following compo-

nents and their locations are shown in the illustration.

1. Front airbag sensors

2. SRS warning light

3. Front seat belt pretensioner assemblies

4. Airbag sensor assembly

The front seat belt pretensioners are con- trolled by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag sensor assembly consists of a saf-

ing sensor and airbag sensor.

When the front seat belt pretensioners are activated, an operating noise may be heard and a small amount of smokelike gas may be released. This gas is harm- less and does not indicate that a fire is occurring.

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

CAUTION

Do not modify, remove, strike or open

the front seat belt pretensioner as- semblies, airbag sensor or surround- ing area or wiring. Doing any of

these may cause sudden operation of the front seat belt pretensioners or disable the system, which could re-

sult in death or serious injury.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious inju-

ries.

NOTICE

Do not perform any of the following changes without consulting your Toyota dealer. Such changes can interfere with proper operation of the front seat belt pretensioners in some cases.

Installation of electronic devices such as a mobile twoway radio, cassette tape player or compact

disc player

Repairs on or near the front seat

34 2001 CELICA (20766U)

This front seat belt pretensioner system has a service reminder indicator to inform

the driver of operating problems. If any of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction of the airbags or

pretensioners. Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle.

The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned to the ON" posi-

tion, or the light remains on.

The light comes on or flashes while driving.

If either front seat belt does not retract or cannot be pulled out due to a mal-

function or activation of the relevant front seat belt pretensioner.

In the following cases, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible:

The front part of the vehicle (shaded in the illustration) was involved in an

accident that was not severe enough to cause the front seat belt pretensioners to operate.

Either front seat belt pretensioner as- sembly or surrounding area is scratched, cracked, or otherwise dam-

aged.

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys- tem) front airbags are designed to pro-

vide further protection for the driver and front passenger in addition to the primary safety protection provided by

the seat belts.

In response to a severe frontal impact,

the SRS front airbags work together with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflating. The SRS front airbags help to

reduce injuries mainly to the drivers or front passengers head or chest caused by directly hitting the steering wheel or dash-

board. The front passenger airbag is acti- vated even with no passenger in the front seat.

Be sure to wear your seat belt properly.

SRS driver and front passenger airbags

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

352001 CELICA (20766U)

Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic module, which will record the use of the seat belt restraint

system by the driver when the SRS air- bags are inflated.

CAUTION

A driver or front passenger too close

to the steering wheel or dashboard during airbag deployment can be killed or seriously injured. Toyota

strongly recommends that:

The driver sit as far back as pos- sible from the steering wheel while

still maintaining control of the ve- hicle.

The front passenger sit as far back as possible from the dashboard.

All vehicle occupants be properly

restrained using the available seat belts.

This indicator comes on when the igni- tion key is turned to the ON" position. It goes off after about 6 seconds. This

means the SRS front airbags are oper- ating properly.

This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sen- sors, side airbag sensors, door side air- bag sensors, front seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflators, warning light, inter- connecting wiring and power sources. (For details, see Service remainder indicators and warning buzzers" in Section 15.)

The SRS front airbag system is de- signed to activate in response to a se- vere frontal impact within the shaded area between the arrows in the illustra- tion.

The SRS front airbags will deploy if the severity of the impact is above the de- signed threshold level, comparable to an approximate 25 km/h (15 mph) collision when impacting straight into a fixed barrier that does not move or deform.

If the severity of the impact is below the above threshold level, the SRS front air- bags may not deploy.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

36 2001 CELICA (20766U)

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

It is possible that in some collisions at the lower zone of airbag sensor detection and activation the SRS airbags and seat belt pretensioners will not operate all together.

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

Collision from the rear

Collision from the side

Vehicle rollover

The SRS front airbags are not designed to inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a lowspeed frontal collision.

Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard material

Falling into or jumping over a deep hole

Landing hard or vehicle falling

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

shown in the illustration.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

372001 CELICA (20766U)

The SRS airbag system consists mainly of the 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 (airbag and inflator)

4. Airbag sensor assembly

5. Airbag module for driver

(airbag and inflator)

The airbag sensor assembly consists of a

safing sensor and airbag sensor.

In a severe frontal impact, the sensors detect deceleration and the system trig- gers the airbag inflators. Then a chemical

reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with nontoxic gas to help restrain the forward motion of the occupants.

When the airbags inflate, they produce a fairly loud noise and release some smoke and residue along with nontoxic gas. This does not indicate a fire. This gas is nor- mally harmless; however, for those who have delicate skin, it may cause a minor skin irritation. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin irritation.

Deployment of the airbags happens in a fraction of a second, so the airbags must inflate with considerable force. While the

system is designed to reduce serious inju- ries, it may also cause minor burns or abrasions and swelling.

Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, dashboard) may be hot for several

minutes, but the airbags themselves will

not be hot. The airbags are designed to

inflate only once.

A crash severe enough to inflate the air- bags may break the windshield as the

vehicle buckles. In vehicles with a pas-

senger airbag the windshield may also be damaged by absorbing some of the force

of the inflating airbag.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

38 2001 CELICA (20766U)

CAUTION

The SRS airbag system is designed

only as a supplement to the prima- ry protection of the driver side and front passenger side seat belt sys-

tems. The front seat occupants can be killed or seriously injured by the inflating airbags if they do not wear

the available seat belts properly. During sudden braking just before a collision, an unrestrained driver

or front passenger can move for- ward into direct contact with or close proximity to the airbag which

may then deploy during the colli- sion. To ensure maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all

passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. Wear- ing a seat belt properly during an

accident reduces the chances of death or serious injury or being thrown out of the vehicle. For

instructions and precautions con- cerning the seat belt system, see Seat belts" in this section.

Improperly seated and/or restrained

infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by the deploy- ing front airbags. An infant or child

who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota

strongly recommends that all in- fants and children be placed in the rear seat of the vehicle and proper-

ly restrained. The rear seat is the safest for infants and children. For instructions concerning the installa-

tion of a child restraint system, see Child restraint" in this section. Never put a rearfacing child re-

straint system on the front passen- ger seat because the force of the rapid inflation of the front passen-

ger airbag can cause death or seri- ous injury to the child.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

392001 CELICA (20766U)

Move seat fully back

A forwardfacing child restraint sys-

tem should be allowed to be put on the front seat only when it is un- avoidable. Always move the seat as

far back as possible, because the force of the deploying front airbag could cause death or serious injury

to the child.

On vehicles with side airbags, do not allow the child to lean against

the front door or around the front door even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dan-

gerous if the side airbag inflates, and the impact could cause death

or serious injury to the child.

For instructions concerning the

installation of a child restraint sys- tem, see Child restraint" in this section.

Do not sit on the edge of the seat

or lean over the dashboard when the vehicle is in use. The front air- bags inflate with considerable

speed and force; you may be killed or seriously injured. Sit up straight and well back in the seat, and al-

ways use your seat belt properly.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

40 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Do not allow a child to stand up,

or to kneel on the front passenger seat. The front airbag inflates with considerable speed and force; the

child may be killed or seriously in- jured.

Do not hold a child on your lap or

in your arms. Use a child restraint system in the rear seat. For instruc- tions concerning the installation of

a child restraint system, see Child restraint" in this section.

Do not put objects or your pets on

or in front of the dashboard or steering wheel pad that houses the front airbag system. They might re-

strict inflation or cause death or serious injury as they are projected rearward by the force of deploying

airbags. Likewise, the driver and front passenger should not hold things in their arms or on their

knees.

Do not modify or remove any wir-

ing. Do not modify, remove, strike or open any components such as the steering wheel pad, steering

wheel, column cover, front passen- ger airbag cover, front passenger airbag or airbag sensor assembly.

Doing any of these may cause sud- den SRS front airbag inflation or disable the system, which could re-

sult in death or serious injury.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

SRS side airbags

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys- tem) side airbags are designed to pro-

vide further protection for the driver and front passenger in addition to the primary safety protection provided by

the seat belts.

In response to a severe side impact, the

SRS side airbags work together with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflat- ing. The SRS side airbags help to reduce

injuries mainly to the drivers or front pas- sengers chest. The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat is activated even with

no passenger in the front seat.

Be sure to wear your seat belt properly.

Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic module, which will record the use of the seat belt restraint

system by the driver when the SRS side airbags are inflated.

CAUTION

SRS side airbags inflate with consid-

erable force. To avoid potential death or serious injury when they inflate, the driver and front passenger must:

Wear their seat belts properly.

Remain properly seated with their

back upright and against the seat at all times.

This indicator comes on when the igni- tion key is turned to the ON" position.

It goes off after about 6 seconds. This means the SRS side airbags are operat- ing properly.

This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-

sors, side airbag sensors, door side air- bag sensors, front seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflators, warning light, inter-

connecting wiring and power sources. (For details, see Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers" in Section 15.)

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

The SRS side airbag system may not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a

collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger

compartment as shown in the illustra- tion.

The SRS side airbags are designed to inflate when the passenger compartment area suffers a severe impact from the

side.

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

Collision from the rear

Collision from the front

Vehicle rollover

The SRS side airbags are not designed to inflate if the vehicle is involved in a

front or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a lowspeed side collision.

The SRS side airbag system consists mainly of the following components, and

their locations are shown in the illustra- tion.

1. SRS warning light

2. Door side airbag sensors

3. Side airbag modules (airbag and inflator)

4. Side airbag sensors

5. Airbag sensor assembly

The SRS side airbag system is controlled

by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sen- sor and airbag sensor.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

44 2001 CELICA (20766U)

In a severe side impact, the side airbag sensor triggers the side airbag inflators. Then a chemical reaction in the inflators

quickly fills the airbags with nontoxic gas to help restrain the lateral motion of the occupants.

When the airbags inflate, they produce a fairly loud noise and release some smoke and residue along with nontoxic gas. This

does not indicate a fire. This gas is nor- mally harmless; however, for those who have delicate skin, it may cause a minor

skin irritation. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin irritation.

Deployment of the airbags happens in a fraction of a second, so the airbags must

inflate with considerable force. While the system is designed to reduce serious inju- ries, it may also cause minor burns or

abrasions and swelling.

Front seats may be hot for several min-

utes, but the airbags themselves will not be hot. The airbags are designed to inflate only once.

CAUTION

The SRS side airbag system is de-

signed only as a supplement to the primary protection of the driver side and front passenger side seat

belt systems. To ensure maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle

must wear their seat belts properly. Wearing a seat belt properly during an accident reduces the chances of

death or serious injury or being thrown out of the vehicle. For instructions and precautions con-

cerning the seat belt system, see Seat belts" in this section.

Improperly seated and/or restrained

infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by the deploy- ing airbags. An infant or child who

is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota

strongly recommends that all in- fants and children be placed in the rear seat of the vehicle and proper-

ly restrained. The rear seat is the safest for infants and children. For instructions concerning the installa-

tion of a child restraint system, see Child restraint" in this section.

Do not allow a child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the front door or the area

of the seat from which the side air- bag deploys even if he/she is seated in the child restraint system.

It is dangerous if the side airbag inflates, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.

For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint sys- tem, see Child restraint" in this

section.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

452001 CELICA (20766U)

Do not lean against the front door

when the vehicle is in use. The side airbag inflates with considerable speed and force; you may be killed

or seriously injured.

Do not apply excessive weight to the outer side of the front seats on

vehicles with side airbags.

Do not attach a cup holder or any

other device or object on or around the door. When the side airbag in- flates, the cup holder or any other

device or object will be thrown with great force or the side airbag may not activate correctly, resulting in

death or serious injury. Likewise, the driver and front passenger should not hold things in their

arms or on their knees.

Do not use accessories for the

seats which cover the parts where the side airbags inflate. Such acces- sories may prevent the side airbags

from activating correctly, causing death or serious injury.

Do not modify or replace the seats

or upholstery of the front seats with the side airbags. Such changes may disable the system or cause

the side airbags to inflate acciden- tally, resulting in death or serious injury. Consult your Toyota dealer if

you consider modifications of this kind.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

Do not perform any of the following

changes without consulting your Toyota dealer. Such changes can interfere with proper operation of the

SRS side airbag system in some cases.

Installation of electronic devices

such as a mobile twoway radio, cassette tape player or compact disc player

Modification of the suspension sys- tem

Modification of the side structure of the passenger compartment

Repairs made on or near the con- sole or front seat

This SRS side airbag system has a service reminder indicator to inform the

driver of operating problems. If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction of the airbags.

Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle.

The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned to the ON" posi- tion, or the light remains on.

The light comes on or flashes while driving.

In the following cases, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible:

The SRS side airbags have been in- flated.

The portion of the doors (shaded in the illustration) was involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause

the SRS side airbags to inflate.

The surface of the seats with the side

airbag (shaded in the illustration) is scratched, cracked, or otherwise dam- aged.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

472001 CELICA (20766U)

NOTICE

Do not disconnect the battery cables

before contacting your Toyota dealer.

Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems for children small enough to use them.

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

child restraint system.

Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819.

If a child is too large for a child restraint

system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the

vehicles seat belt. See Seat belts" for

details.

CAUTION

For effective protection in automo-

bile accidents and sudden stops, 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 acci- dent, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between

you and the vehicles interior.

Toyota strongly urges use of a

proper child restraint system which conforms to the size of the child, and is put on the rear seat. Accord-

ing to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

Never put a rearfacing child re- straint system on the front seat. In the event of an accident, the force

of the rapid inflation of the airbag can cause death or serious injury if a rearfacing child restraint system

is put on the front seat.

Unless it is unavoidable, do not put

a child restraint system on the front seat.

Child restraint Child restraint precautions

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

48 2001 CELICA (20766U)

A forwardfacing child restraint sys-

tem should be allowed to be put on the front seat only when it is un- avoidable. Always move the seat as

far back as possible, because the force of the deploying airbag could cause death or serious injury to the

child.

On vehicles with side airbags, do not allow the child to lean against

the front door or around the front door even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dan-

gerous if the side airbag inflates, and the impact could cause death

or serious injury to the child.

Make sure that you have complied with all installation instructions pro-

vided by the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured.

Child restraint system

A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with the lap por- tion of the lap/shoulder belt. You must carefully consult the manufacturers in- structions which accompany the child restraint system.

To provide proper restraint, use a child restraint system following the manufactur- ers instructions about the appropriate age and size of the child for the restraint sys- tem.

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

The child restraint system should be installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

CAUTION

Never put a rearfacing child re-

straint system on the front seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag

can cause death or serious injury if a rearfacing child restraint system is put on the front seat.

Unless it is unavoidable, do not put a child restraint system on the front seat.

A forwardfacing child restraint sys- tem should be allowed to be put on

the front seat only when it is un- avoidable. Always move the seat as far back as possible, because the

force of the deploying airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child.

On vehicles with side airbags, do not allow the child to lean against

the front door or around the front door even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dan-

gerous if the side airbag inflates, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

492001 CELICA (20766U)

After installing the child restraint

system, make sure it is secured in place following the manufacturers instructions. If it is not restrained

securely, it may cause death or se- rious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

When not using the child restraint system,

keep it secured with the seat belt or place it somewhere other than the passenger compartment. This will prevent it from in-

juring passengers in the event of a sud- den stop or accident.

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

For instructions on how to use the anchor

bracket, see Using a top strap" in this section.

Types of child restraint system

Child restraint systems are divided into the following 3 types according to the childs age and size.

(A) Infant seat

(B) Convertible seat

(C) Booster seat

Install the child restraint system following the instructions provided by its manufac- turer.

Fuel gauge

The gauge works when the ignition switch is on and indicates the approxi-

mate quantity of fuel remaining in the tank.

Nearly fullIndicator at F" Nearly emptyIndicator at E"

It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4 full.

If the fuel level approaches E" or the low fuel level warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.

If the fuel tank is full or the fuel quantity has increased or decreased by more than 5 liters since the vehicle was turned off,

the position display is recalculated. If the fuel quantity has increased or decreased by less than 5 liters since the vehicle was

turned off, the previous position is dis- played.

If the fuel tank is completely empty, the

malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill the fuel tank immediately.

The indicator lamp goes off after driving several times. If the indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as

soon as possible.

If the fuel gauge display flashes or the remaining quantity is not displayed after

the flashing, there may be a problem in the system. In this case, contact your

Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is on. The engine operating temperature will vary with changes in weather and engine load.

If the needle moves to the H" position and flashes, your engine is too hot. If your vehicle overheats, stop your vehicle and allow the engine to cool.

Your vehicle may overheat during severe operating conditions, such as:

Driving up a long hill on a hot day.

Reducing speed or stopping after high speed driving.

Idling for a long period with the air conditioning on in stopandgo traffic.

Towing a trailer.

If the engine coolant temperature gauge

needle is not displayed, there may be a problem in the system. In this case, con- tact your Toyota dealer as soon as pos-

sible.

NOTICE

Do not remove the thermostat in

the engine cooling system as this may cause the engine to overheat. The thermostat is designed to con-

trol the flow of coolant to keep the temperature of the engine within the specified operating range.

Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. See If your vehicle overheats" in Section 4.

Tachometer

The tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of rpm (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to select correct shift points and to prevent en- gine lugging and overrevving.

Driving with the engine running too fast causes excessive engine wear and poor fuel economy. Remember, in most cases the slower the engine speed, the greater the fuel economy.

NOTICE

Do not let the indicator needle get

into the red zone. This may cause severe engine damage.

2ZZGE engine onlyThe engine

will not exceed 7100 rpm before it warms up.

Odometer and two trip meters

This meter displays the odometer and two trip meters.

1. OdometerShows the total distance the vehicle has been driven.

2. Two trip metersShow two different

distances independently driven since the last time each trip meter was set to zero.

You can use one trip meter to calculate the fuel economy and the other to

measure the distance on each trip. All trip meter data is cancelled if the elec- trical power source is disconnected.

3. Trip meter reset knobResets the two trip meters to zero, and also change the meter display.

To change the meter display, quickly push and release the knob. The meter display changes in the order from the

odometer to trip meter A to trip meter B, then back to the odometer each time you push.

To reset the trip meter A to zero, dis- play the meter A reading, then push

and hold the knob until the meter is set to zero. The same process can be applied for resetting the trip meter B.

CAUTION

If either of the following conditions

occurs, immediately stop your vehicle at a safe place and contact your Toyota dealer.

The light does not turn off even after the parking brake is released while the engine is running.

In this case, the brakes may not work properly and your stopping

distance will become longer. De- press the brake pedal firmly and bring the vehicle to an immediate

stop.

Vehicles with antilock brake sys-

tem

The brake system warning light re- mains on together with the ABS"

warning light.

In this case, not only the antilock

brake system will fail but also the vehicle will become extremely un- stable during braking.

(b) Drivers Seat Belt Reminder Light and Buzzer

This light reminds you to buckle up the

drivers seat belt.

Once the ignition key is turned to ON" or

START", the reminder light flashes and buzzer sounds if the drivers seat belt is not fastened. Unless the driver fastens the

belt, the light keeps flashing and the buzzer stops after about 4 to 8 seconds.

(c) Front Passengers Seat Belt

Reminder Light

This light reminds you to buckle up the

front passengers seat belt.

Once the ignition key is turned to ON" or START", the reminder light flashes if a

passenger sits in the front passenger seat and does not fasten the seat belt. Unless

the front passenger fastens the belt, the light stays flashing.

If luggage load is placed on the front

passenger seat, depending on its weight and how it is placed on the seat, builtin sensors in the seat cushion may detect

the pressure, causing the reminder light to come on.

(d) Discharge Warning Light

This light warns that the battery is being discharged.

If it comes on while you are driving, there is a problem somewhere in the charging system.

The engine ignition will continue to oper- ate, however, until the battery is dis- charged. Turn off the air conditioning, blower, radio, etc., and drive directly to the nearest Toyota dealer or repair shop.

NOTICE

Do not continue driving if the engine

drive belt is broken or loose.

(e) Low Oil Pressure Warning Light

This light warns that the engine oil pres- sure is too low.

If it flickers or stays on while you are driving, pull off the road to a safe place and stop the engine immediately. Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance.

The light may occasionally flicker when the engine is idling or it may come on briefly after a hard stop. There is no cause for concern if it then goes out when the engine is accelerated slightly.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

792001 CELICA (20766U)

The light may come on when the oil level is extremely low. It is not designed to indicate low oil level, and the oil level must be checked using the level dipstick.

NOTICE

Do not drive the vehicle with the

warning light oneven for one block. It may ruin the engine.

(f) Malfunction Indicator Lamp

This lamp comes on in the following cases.

a. The fuel tank is completely empty.

(See Fuel gauge" in this section for instructions.)

b. The fuel tank cap is not tightened se-

curely. (See Fuel tank cap" in Section 12 for instructions.)

c. There is a problem somewhere in your engine or automatic transmission elec- trical system.

If it comes on while you are driving in case c, have your vehicle checked/re-

paired by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

(g) Low Fuel Level Warning Light

This light comes on when the fuel level in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up the tank as soon as possible.

(h) ABS" Warning Light

The light comes on when the ignition key is turned to the ON" position. If the anti

lock brake system works properly, the light turns off after a few seconds. There- after, if the system malfunctions, the light

comes on again.

When the ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the

antilock brake system does not operate, but the brake system still operates con-

ventionally.

When the ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the

antilock brake system does not operate so that the wheels could lock up during a sudden braking or braking on slippery

road surfaces.

If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by

the warning light system. Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle.

The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned to the ON" posi- tion, or remains on.

The light comes on while you are driv- ing.

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

CAUTION

If the ABS" warning light remains on

together with the brake system warn- ing light, immediately stop your ve- hicle at a safe place and contact your

Toyota dealer.

In this case, not only the antilock brake system will fail but also the

vehicle will become extremely unsta- ble during braking.

Vehicles with cruise controlWhen the cruise control is being used, even if you downshift the transmission by pushing and

releasing the overdrive switch, engine braking will not be enabled because the cruise control is not cancelled.

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

(c) Normal driving

1. Start the engine as instructed in How to start the engine" in Section 3. The transmission must be in P" or N".

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

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

Always turn the overdrive on for better fuel economy and quieter driving. If the engine coolant temperature is low, the transmission will not shift into the over- drive gear even with the overdrive on.

CAUTION

Never put your foot on the accelera-

tor pedal while shifting.

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

(d) Using engine braking

To use engine braking, you can downshift the transmission as follows:

Push the overdrive switch. The O/D OFF" indicator light will come on and the transmission will downshift to third gear.

Shift into the 2" position. The trans- mission will downshift to second gear when the vehicle speed drops down to or lower than 101 km/h (63 mph), and stronger engine braking will be en- abled.

Shift into the L" position. The trans- mission will downshift to first gear when the vehicle speed drops down to or lower than 50 km/h (31 mph), and maximum engine braking will be en- abled.

Vehicles with cruise controlWhen the cruise control is being used, even if you downshift the transmission by pushing and releasing the overdrive switch, engine braking will not be enabled because the cruise control is not cancelled.

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

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

CAUTION

Be careful when downshifting on a

slippery surface. Abrupt shifting could cause the vehicle to spin or skid.

(e) Using the 2" and L" positions

The 2" and L" positions are used for strong engine braking as described pre- viously.

With the selector lever in 2" or L", you can start the vehicle in motion as with the lever in D".

With the selector lever in 2", the vehicle will start in first gear and automatically shift to second gear.

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

NOTICE

Be careful not to overrev the en-

gine. Watch the tachometer to keep engine rpm from going into the red zone. The approximate maximum al-

lowable speed for each position is given below for your reference:

2" 124km/h(77mph). . . . . . . . .

L" 67km/h(41mph). . . . . . . . .

Do not continue hill climbing or hard towing for a long time in the 2" or L" position. This may cause severe automatic transmission dam- age from overheating. To prevent such damage, D" position should be used in hill climbing or hard towing.

(f) Backing up

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

2. With the brake pedal held down with your foot, shift the selector lever to the R" position.

NOTICE

Never shift into reverse while the ve-

hicle is moving.

(g) Parking

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

2. Pull the parking brake lever up fully to securely apply the parking brake.

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

CAUTION

Never attempt to move the selector

lever into P" position under any cir- cumstances while the vehicle is mov- ing. Serious mechanical damage and

loss of vehicle control may result.

(h) Good driving practice

If the transmission repeatedly shifts up and down between third gear and over- drive when climbing a gentle slope, the overdrive should be turned off. Be sure to turn the switch on immediately after- ward.

When towing a trailer, in order to main- tain engine braking efficiency, do not use overdrive.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

86 2001 CELICA (20766U)

CAUTION

Always keep your foot on the brake

pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.

NOTICE

Do not hold the vehicle on an up-

grade with the accelerator pedal. It can cause the transmission to over- heat. Always use the brake pedal or

parking brake.

(i) Rocking your vehicle in stuck

CAUTION

If your vehicle becomes stuck in

snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward and backward. Do

not attempt this procedure if people or objects are anywhere near the ve- hicle. During the rocking operation

the vehicle may suddenly move for- ward or backward as it becomes un- stuck, causing injury or damage to

nearby people or objects.

NOTICE

If you rock your vehicle, observe the

following precautions to prevent dam- age to the transmission and other parts.

Do not depress the accelerator ped- al while shifting the selector lever or before the transmission is com-

pletely shifted to forward or reverse gear.

Do not race the engine and avoid spinning the wheels.

If your vehicle remains stuck after

rocking the vehicle several times, consider other ways such as tow- ing.

(j) If you cannot shift the selector le-

ver out of P" position

If you cannot shift the selector lever from the P" position even though the brake pedal is depressed, use the shift lock override button. For instructions, see If you cannot shift automatic transmission selector lever" in Section 4.

(d) Driving in M mode

When the selector lever is into the M" position, you can select the gear posi- tion manually by pushing the transmis-

sion shift switches on the steering wheel. The M mode indicator light will

be displayed on the instrument cluster.

1: Upshift switch (rear) 2: Downshift switch (front)

When you push the transmission upshift switch on the rear of the steering wheel, the transmission upshifts from 1" to 2",

3" and 4".

Each time you push the transmission downshift switch on the front of the steer-

ing wheel, the transmission downshifts from 4" to 3", 2" and then to 1".

The current gear position is displayed on the instrument cluster.

When the overdrive is turned on, the

transmission can be upshifted or down- shifted between 1" and 4". When the overdrive is turned off, the transmission

can be upshifted or downshifted between 1" and 3".

Even if the lever is in the M" position, the transmission will downshift automati- cally to first gear when you stop the ve-

hicle.

You attempt to downshift the transmission

when it is not possible to downshift due to the high vehicle speed. A buzzer will sound when this happens.

You can start from second gear by setting the shift switch while the vehicle is stopped. This is useful for driving your

vehicle on slippery (rainy, icy or snow covered) roads.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

90 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Recommended shifting speeds

For the best compromise between fuel economy and vehicle performance, you should upshift or downshift at approxi- mately the following speeds:

gear km/h(mph) 1to2or2to1 24(15)

2to3or3to2 40(25) 3to4or4to3 65(40)

Downshift to the appropriate gear if accel- eration is needed when you are cruising below the above downshifting speeds.

Upshifting too soon or downshifting too late will cause lugging, and possibly ping- ing. Regularly revving the engine to maxi- mum speed in each gear will cause ex- cessive engine wear and high fuel consumption.

NOTICE

Be careful not to overrev the engine.

Watch the tachometer to keep engine rpm from going into the red zone. The approximate maximum allowable

speed for each position is given be- low for your reference:

2" 125km/h(77mph). . . . . . . . . . . .

1" 70km/h(43mph). . . . . . . . . . . . .

If the M mode indicator light flashes...

Put the selector lever in the D" position and drive for a short time.

If the M mode indicator light stops flash- ing but remains on after the selector lever

is returned to the M" position, you can drive in M mode.

If the M mode indicator light still flashes,

there is a problem somewhere in the sys- tem. Put the selector lever in the D" position. Consult with your Toyota dealer

as soon as possible.

The M mode indicator light flashes under

the following conditions:

The temperature of the automatic trans- mission oil is low. The transmission

works exactly in the same way as when you put the selector lever in the

D" position.

The temperature of the automatic trans- mission oil is high. You can still oper-

ate the transmission shift switches.

There is a problem somewhere in the

system.

(e) Using engine braking

To use engine braking, you can downshift the transmission as follows:

Push the overdrive switch. [This is ef- fective only when you are driving in the D" position or in fourth gear (M" posi- tion.)] The O/D OFF" indicator light will come on and the transmission will downshift to third gear, and engine braking will be obtained.

Shift the selector lever into the 2" position or push the transmission shift switch to the 2" position in M mode. The transmission will downshift to sec- ond gear when the vehicle speed drops down to or lower than 115 km/h (71 mph), and stronger engine braking will be enabled.

Shift the selector lever into the L" position or push the transmission shift switch to the 1" position in M mode. The transmission will downshift to first gear when the vehicle speed drops down to or lower than 54 km/h (34 mph), and maximum engine braking will be enabled.

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

2. Pull the parking brake lever up fully to securely apply the parking brake.

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

CAUTION

Never attempt to move the selector

lever into P" position under any cir- cumstances while the vehicle is mov- ing. Serious mechanical damage and

loss of vehicle control may result.

(i) Good driving practice

If the transmission repeatedly shifts up and down between third gear and over- drive when climbing a gentle slope, the overdrive should be turned off. Be sure to turn the switch on immediately after- ward.

When towing a trailer, in order to main- tain engine braking efficiency, do not use overdrive.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

92 2001 CELICA (20766U)

CAUTION

Always keep your foot on the brake

pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.

NOTICE

Do not hold the vehicle on an up-

grade with the accelerator pedal. It can cause the transmission to over- heat. Always use the brake pedal or

parking brake.

(j) Rocking your vehicle in stuck

CAUTION

If your vehicle becomes stuck in

snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward and backward. Do

not attempt this procedure if people or objects are anywhere near the ve- hicle. During the rocking operation

the vehicle may suddenly move for- ward or backward as it becomes un- stuck, causing injury or damage to

nearby people or objects.

NOTICE

If you rock your vehicle, observe the

following precautions to prevent dam- age to the transmission and other parts.

Do not depress the accelerator ped- al while shifting the selector lever or before the transmission is com-

pletely shifted to forward or reverse gear.

Do not race the engine and avoid spinning the wheels.

If your vehicle remains stuck after

rocking the vehicle several times, consider other ways such as tow- ing.

(k) If you cannot shift the selector le-

ver out of P" position

If you cannot shift the selector lever from the P" position even though the brake pedal is depressed, use the shift lock override button. For instructions, see If you cannot shift automatic transmission selector lever" in Section 4.

Manual transmission

5speed

6speed

The shift pattern is as shown above.

In case of driving your vehicle with

6speed manual transmission, the buzzer will sound when you shift the gear into R" (reverse).

Press the clutch pedal down fully while shifting, and then release it slowly. Do not rest your foot on the pedal while driving, because it will cause clutch trouble. And do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopped on an uphill gradeuse the parking brake.

Recommended shifting speeds

The transmission is fully synchronized and upshifting or downshifting is easy.

For the best compromise between fuel economy and vehicle performance, you should upshift or downshift at the following speeds:

5speed Low altitude

1219 m (4000 ft.) or lower gear km/h (mph)

1 to 2 or 2 to 1 24(15)

2 to 3 or 3 to 2 37/401(23/251) 3 to 4 or 4 to 3 64/452(40/282) 4 to 5 or 5 to 4 72/642(45/402)

1: Under cold engine conditions. 2: For constantspeed cruise or

constantspeed cruise after decelera-

tion.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

94 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Downshift to the appropriate gear if accel- eration is needed when you are cruising below the above downshifting speeds.

Upshifting too soon or downshifting too late will cause lugging, and possibly ping- ing. Regularly revving the engine to maxi- mum speed in each gear will cause ex- cessive engine wear and high fuel consumption.

Maximum allowable speeds

To get on a highway or to pass slower

traffic, maximum acceleration may be nec- essary. Make sure you observe the follow- ing maximum allowable speeds in each

gear:

5speed

gear km/h(mph) 1 56(35) 2 92(57)

3 126(78) 4 171(106)

6speed gear km/h(mph)

1 60(37)

2 93(58) 3 128(80) 4 163(101)

5 208(129)

NOTICE

Do not downshift if you are going faster than the maximum allowable speed for the next lower gear.

Good driving practice

If it is difficult to shift into reverse, put the transmission in neutral, release the

clutch pedal momentarily, and then try again.

When towing a trailer, in order to main-

tain engine braking efficiency, do not use fifth (5speed models) or sixth gear (6speed models).

CAUTION

Be careful when downshifting on a

slippery surface. Abrupt shifting could cause the vehicle to spin or skid.

NOTICE

Make sure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into reverse.

Parking brake

Type A

Type B

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

952001 CELICA (20766U)

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

To set: Pull up the lever. For better hold- ing power, first depress the brake pedal and hold it while setting the parking brake. 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 is set, the parking brake reminder light in the instrument panel remains on until you release the parking brake.

CAUTION

Before driving, be sure the parking

brake is fully released and the park- ing brake reminder light is off.

Cruise control

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

Your cruising speed can be maintained up or down grades within the limits of engine performance, although a slight speed change may occur when driving up or down the grades. On steeper hills, a greater speed change will occur so it is better to drive without the cruise control.

CAUTION

To help maintain maximum control

of your vehicle, do not use the cruise control when driving in heavy or varying traffic, or on slip-

pery (rainy, icy or snowcovered) or winding roads.

Avoid vehicle speed increases when

driving downhill. If the vehicle speed is too fast in relation to the cruise control set speed, cancel the

cruise control then downshift the transmission to use engine braking to slow down.

TURNING ON THE SYSTEM

To operate the cruise control, press the CRUISE ONOFF" button. This turns the system on. The indicator light in the in- strument panel shows that you can now set the vehicle at a desired cruising speed. Another press will turn the system completely off.

CAUTION

To avoid accidental cruise control en-

gagement, keep the CRUISE ON OFF" switch off when not using the cruise control.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

96 2001 CELICA (20766U)

SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED

On vehicles with automatic transmission, the selector lever must be in the D" posi- tion or the gear position must be 3" or 4" in M mode before you set the cruise control speed.

Bring your vehicle to the desired speed, push the lever down in the SET/COAST" direction and release it. This sets the ve- hicle at that speed. If the speed is not satisfactory, tap the lever up for a faster speed, or tap it down for a slower speed. Each tap changes the set speed by 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph). You can now take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

If you need accelerationfor example, when passingdepress the accelerator pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you release it, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior to the acceleration.

CAUTION

For manual transmission:

While driving with the cruise control on, do not shift to neutral without depressing the clutch pedal, as this

may cause engine racing or overrev- ving.

CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED

You can cancel the preset speed by:

a. Pulling the lever in the CANCEL" di-

rection and releasing it.

b. Depressing the brake pedal.

c. Depressing the clutch pedal (manual transmission).

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

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

If the preset speed automatically cancels out other than for the above cases, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota 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 when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain speed.

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

RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED

Push the lever down in the SET/COAST" direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held down, the vehicle speed will gradually decrease.

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

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

972001 CELICA (20766U)

On vehicles with automatic transmission, even if you turn off the overdrive switch with the cruise control on, engine braking will not be applied because the cruise control is not cancelled. To decrease the vehicle speed, reset to a slower speed with the cruise control lever or depress the brake pedal. If you use the brake pedal, cruise control is cancelled.

RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED

If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling the control lever or by depressing the brake pedal or clutch pedal, pushing the lever up in the RES/ACC" direction will restore the speed set prior to cancellation.

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

CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING

If the CRUISE" indicator light in the in- strument cluster flashes when using the cruise control, press the CRUISE ON OFF" button to turn the system off and then press it again to turn it on.

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

The indicator light does not come on.

The indicator light flashes again.

The indicator light goes out after it comes on.

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

AMFM ETR radio/cassette player/compact disc player (with compact disc auto changer controller)

This section describes some of the basic features on Toyota audio systems. Some information may not pertain to your sys-

tem.

Your audio system works when the ignition key is in the ACC" or ON" position.

TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF

Push PWRVOL" to turn the audio system

on and off.

Push AM", FM12", TAPE" or CD" to

turn on that function without pushing PWRVOL".

You can turn on each player by inserting

a cassette tape or compact disc.

You can turn off each player by ejecting

the cassette tape or compact disc. If the audio system was previously off, then the entire audio system will be turned off

when you eject the cassette tape or com- pact disc. If another function was pre- viously playing, it will come on again.

SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS

Push AM", FM12", TAPE" or CD" if the

system is already on but you want to switch from one function to another.

TONE AND BALANCE

For details about your systems tone and balance controls, see the description of

your own system.

Tone

How good an audio program sounds to you is largely determined by the mix of the treble, midrange, and bass levels. In

fact, different kinds of music and vocal programs usually sound better with differ- ent mixes of treble, midrange and bass.

Balance

A good balance of the left and right stereo

channels and of the front and rear sound levels is also important.

Keep in mind that if you are listening to a stereo recording or broadcast, changing the right/left balance will increase the vol-

ume of one group of sounds while de- creasing the volume of another.

Using your audio system Some basics

NOTICE

To ensure the correct audio system

operation:

Be careful not to spill beverages over the audio system.

Do not put anything other than a cassette tape or Compact Disc into

the slot.

The use of cellular phone inside or near the vehicle may cause a noise

from the speakers of the audio sys- tem which you are listening to. However, this does not indicate a

malfunction.

RADIO RECEPTION

Usually, a problem with radio reception does not mean there is a problem with your radioit is just the normal result of

conditions outside the vehicle.

For example, nearby buildings and terrain can interfere with FM reception. Power

lines or telephone wires can interfere with AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited range. The farther you are

from a station, the weaker its signal will be. In addition, reception conditions change constantly as your vehicle moves.

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

FM

Fading and drifting stationsGenerally, the

effective range of FM is about 40 km (25 miles). Once outside this range, you may notice fading and drifting, which increase

with the distance from the radio transmit- ter. They are often accompanied by distor- tion.

MultipathFM signals are reflective, making it possible for two signals to reach your antenna at the same time. If this

happens, the signals will cancel each oth- er out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of reception.

Static and flutteringThese occur when signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or

other large objects. Increasing the bass level may reduce static and fluttering.

Station swappingIf the FM signal you are listening to is interrupted or weak- ened, and there is another strong station

nearby on the FM band, your radio may tune in the second station until the origi- nal signal can be picked up again.

AM

FadingAM broadcasts are reflected by the upper atmosphereespecially at night.

These reflected signals can interfere with those received directly from the radio sta- tion, causing the radio station to sound

alternately strong and weak.

Station interferenceWhen a reflected sig-

nal and a signal received directly from a radio station are very nearly the same frequency, they can interfere with each

other, making it difficult to hear the broad- cast.

StaticAM is easily affected by external

sources of electrical noise, such as high tension power lines, lightening, or electri- cal motors. This results in static.

CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER AND 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 can decrease sound quality and tangle your cassette tapes. The easiest way to

clean them is by using a cleaning tape. (A wet type is recommended.)

Use highquality cassettes.

Lowquality cassette tapes can cause many problems, including poor sound,

inconsistent playing speed, and constant autoreversing. They can also get stuck or tangled in the cassette

player.

Do not use a cassette if it has been

damaged or tangled or if its label is peeling off.

Do not leave a cassette in the player

if you are not listening to it, especially if it is hot outside.

Store cassettes in their cases and out of direct sunlight.

Avoid using cassettes with a total play-

ing time longer than 100 minutes (50 minutes per side). The tape used in

these cassettes is thin and could get stuck or tangled in the cassette player.

CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER AND DISCS

Use only compact discs labeled as shown. CDR (CDRecordable),

CDRW (CDRewritable) and personal computer use CDROMs may not be playable on your compact disc player.

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

Extremely high temperatures can keep your compact disc player from working. On hot days, use the air conditioning

to cool the vehicle interior before you listen to a disc.

Bumpy roads or other vibrations may

make your compact disc player skip.

If moisture gets into your compact disc player, you may not hear any sound even though your compact disc player

appears to be working. Remove the disc from the player and wait until it dries.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

110 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Your compact disc player cannot play special shaped or lowquality compact discs such as those shown here. Do

not use them as the player could be damaged.

Handle compact discs carefully, espe-

cially when you are inserting them. Hold them on the edge and do not bend them. Avoid getting fingerprints

on them, particularly on the shiny side.

Dirt, scrapes, warping, pin holes, or

other disc damage could cause the player to skip or to repeat a section of a track. (To see a pin hole, hold the

disc up to the light.)

Remove discs from the compact disc player when you are not listening to

them. Store them in their plastic cases away from moisture, heat, and direct

sunlight.

To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a soft, lintfree cloth that has been damp-

ened with water. Wipe in a straight line from the center to the edge of the disc (not in circles). Dry it with another soft,

lintfree cloth. Do not use a conventional record cleaner or antistatic device.

CAUTION

Compact disc players use an invisible

laser beam which could cause hazard- ous radiation exposure if directed outside the unit. Be sure to operate

the player correctly.

Air flow selector settings Operating tips

To cool off your Toyota after it has been parked in the hot sun, drive with the windows open for a few minutes. This vents the hot air, allowing the air conditioning to cool the interior more quickly.

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

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

Keep the area under the front seats clear to allow air to circulate through- out the vehicle.

On cold days, turn the fan speed se- lector to HI" for a minute to help clear the intake ducts of snow or moisture. This can reduce the amount of fogging on the windows.

When driving on dusty roads, close all

windows. If dust thrown up by the ve- hicle is still drawn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recommended

that the air intake selector be set to FRESH and the fan speed selector to any setting except OFF".

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

116 2001 CELICA (20766U)

If following another vehicle on a dusty road, or driving in windy and dusty conditions, it is recommended that the

air intake selector be temporarily set to RECIRCULATE, which will close off the outside passage and prevent outside

air and dust from entering the vehicle interior.

126 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Breakin period

Drive gently and avoid high speeds.

Your vehicle does not need an elaborate breakin. But following a few simple tips for the first 1600 km (1000 miles) can add to the future economy and long life of your vehicle:

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

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

Avoid fullthrottle starts.

Try to avoid hard stops during the first 300 km (200 miles).

Do not drive slowly with the transmis- sion in a high gear.

Do not drive for a long time at any single speed, either fast or slow.

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

Fuel

FUEL TYPE

Your new vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline.

To help prevent gas station mixups, your Toyota 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 will not.

At a minimum, the gasoline you use

should meet the specifications of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB 3.5M93 in Canada.

NOTICE

Do not use leaded gasoline. Use of

leaded gasoline will cause the three way catalytic converter to lose its ef- fectiveness and the emission control

system to function improperly. Also, this can increase maintenance costs.

OCTANE RATING

1ZZFE engine Select Octane Rating 87 (Research Oc-

tane Number 91) or higher.

2ZZGE engine Select premium unleaded gasoline with an Octane Rating of 91 (Research Oc-

tane Number 96) or higher for optimum engine performance.

Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane

rating or research octane number lower than stated above will cause persistent heavy knocking. If it is severe, this will

lead to engine damage.

If your engine knocks...

If you detect heavy knocking even when using the recommended fuel, or if you hear steady knocking while holding a steady speed on level roads, consult your Toyota dealer.

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

GASOLINE CONTAINING DETERGENT

ADDITIVES

Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to

avoid buildup of engine deposits.

However, all gasoline sold in the U.S.

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

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1272001 CELICA (20766U)

QUALITY GASOLINE

Automotive manufacturers in the U.S., Europe and Japan have developed a

specification for quality fuel named WorldWide Fuel Charter (WWFC) that is expected to be applied world wide.

The WWFC consists of three categories that depend on required emission lev- els. In the U.S., category 3 has been

adopted. The WWFC improves air quali- ty by providing for better emissions in vehicle fleets, and customer satisfaction

through better vehicle performance.

CLEANER BURNING GASOLINE

Cleaner burning gasoline, including re- formulated gasoline that contains oxy- genates such as ethanol or MTBE is

available in many areas.

Toyota recommends the use of cleaner

burning gasoline and appropriately blended reformulated gasoline. These types of gas- oline provide excellent vehicle perfor-

mance, reduce vehicle emissions, and im- prove air quality.

OXYGENATES IN GASOLINE

Toyota allows the use of oxygenate blended gasoline where the oxygenate

content is up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE. If you use gasohol in your Toyota, be sure that it has an octane

rating no lower than 87.

Toyota does not recommend the use of

gasoline containing methanol.

SULFUR IN GASOLINE

If your vehicle is certified to California Emission Regulations, the vehicle is de- signed to operate on California cleaner

burning gasoline (CBG) that contains lower sulfur. If you cannot use Califor- nia CBG, your emission control system

may suffer damage and turn on the Malfunction Indicator Lamp.

If the malfunction is caused by the type of fuel used, repairs may not be covered by your warranty.

GASOLINE CONTAINING MMT

Some gasoline contain an octane en- hancing additive called MMT (Methylcy-

clopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).

Toyota does not recommend the use of

gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel con- taining MMT is used, your emission con- trol system may be adversely affected.

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the in- strument cluster may come on. If this hap- pens, contact your Toyota dealer for ser-

vice.

GASOLINE QUALITY

In a very few cases, you may experience driveability problems caused by the partic- ular gasoline that you are using. If you

continue to have unacceptable driveability, try changing gasoline brands. If this does not rectify your problem, then consult your

Toyota dealer.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

128 2001 CELICA (20766U)

NOTICE

Do not use gasohol other than

stated above. It will cause fuel sys- tem damage or vehicle performance problems.

If driveability problems occur (poor hot starting, vaporizing, engine knock, etc.), discontinue the use.

Take care not to spill gasohol dur- ing refueling. Gasohol may cause

paint damage.

FUEL TANK CAPACITY

55 L (14.5 gal., 12.1 Imp. gal.)

Fuel pump shut off system

The fuel pump shut off system stops sup- plying fuel to the engine to minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls

or an airbag inflates upon collision. To restart the engine after the fuel pump shut off system activates, turn the ignition

switch to ACC" or LOCK" once and start it.

CAUTION

Inspect the ground under the vehicle

before restarting the engine. If you find that liquid has leaked onto the ground, it is the fuel system has

been damaged and it is in need of repair. In this case, do not restart the engine.

Operation in foreign countries

If you plan to drive your Toyota in another country...

First, comply with the vehicle registration laws.

Second, confirm the availability of the cor- rect fuel (unleaded and minimum octane number).

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1292001 CELICA (20766U)

Threeway catalytic converter

The threeway catalytic converter is an emission control device installed in the exhaust system.

Its purpose is to reduce pollutants in the exhaust gas.

CAUTION

Keep people and combustible mate-

rials away from the exhaust pipe while the engine is running. The exhaust gas is very hot.

Do not drive, idle or park your ve- hicle over anything that might burn easily such as grass, leaves, paper

or rags.

NOTICE

A large amount of unburned gases

flowing into the threeway catalytic converter may cause it to overheat and create a fire hazard. To prevent

this and other damage, observe the following precautions:

Use only unleaded gasoline.

Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level; running out of fuel could

cause the engine to misfire, creat- ing an excessive load on the three way catalytic converter.

Do not allow the engine to run at idle speed for more than 20 min-

utes.

Avoid racing the engine.

Do not pushstart or pullstart your vehicle.

Do not turn off the ignition while the vehicle is moving.

Keep your engine in good running order. Malfunctions in the engine electrical system, electronic ignition system/distributor ignition system or fuel system could cause an ex- tremely high threeway catalytic converter temperature.

If the engine becomes difficult to

start or stalls frequently, take your vehicle in for a checkup as pos- sible. Remember, your Toyota dealer

knows your vehicle and its three way catalytic converter system best.

To ensure that the threeway cata-

lytic converter and the entire emis- sion control system operate proper- ly, your vehicle must receive the

periodic inspections required by the Toyota Maintenance Schedule. For scheduled maintenance information,

refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide" or Owners Manual Supple-

ment".

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

130 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Engine exhaust cautions

CAUTION

Avoid inhaling the engine exhaust.

It contains carbon monoxide, which is a colorless and odorless gas. It can cause unconsciousness or even

death.

Make sure the exhaust system has no holes or loose connections. The

system should be checked from time to time. If you hit something, or notice a change in the sound of

the exhaust, have the system checked immediately.

Do not run the engine in a garage or enclosed area except for the time needed to drive the vehicle in

or out. The exhaust gases cannot escape, making this a particularly dangerous situation.

Do not remain for a long time in a parked vehicle with the engine run-

ning. If it is unavoidable, however, do so only in an unconfined area and adjust the heating or cooling

system to force outside air into the vehicle.

Keep the back door closed while

driving. An open or unsealed back door may cause exhaust gases to be drawn into the vehicle.

To allow proper operation of your vehicles ventilation system, keep the inlet grilles in front of the wind-

shield clear of snow, leaves, or oth- er obstructions.

If you smell exhaust fumes in the vehicle, drive with the windows open and the back door closed.

Have the cause immediately located and corrected.

FUNCTIONS OF ENGINE OIL

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

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION

It is normal that an engine should con- sume some engine oil during normal engine operation. The causes of oil consumption in a normal engine are as follows.

Oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a pis- ton moves downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated when the vehicle is decelerating sucks some of this oil into the combustion chamber. This oil as well as some part of the oil film left on the cylinder wall is burned by the high temperature combustion gases during the combustion process.

Oil is also used to lubricate the stems of the intake valves. Some of this oil is sucked into the combustion chamber together with the intake air and is burned along with the fuel. High tem- perature exhaust gases also burn the oil used to lubricate the exhaust valve stems.

Facts about engine oil consumption

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1312001 CELICA (20766U)

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

More oil is consumed by highspeed driv- ing and frequent acceleration and decel- eration.

A new engine consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls have not become conditioned.

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

As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a nor- mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km (600 miles) or more. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has not changed.

The diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle is then driven at high speeds, as on an expressway, making it appear that oil is excessively consumed after driving at high speeds.

IMPORTANCE OF ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK

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

NOTICE

Failure to check the oil level regularly

could lead to serious engine trouble due to insufficient oil.

For detailed information on oil level check, see Checking the engine oil level" in Sec- tion 72.

Iridiumtipped spark plugs

Your engine is fitted with iridiumtipped spark plugs.

NOTICE

Use only iridiumtipped spark plugs

and do not adjust gaps for your en- gine performance and smooth drive- ability.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

132 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Brake system

The tandem master cylinder brake system

is a hydraulic system with two separate subsystems. If either subsystem should fail, the other will still work. However, the

pedal will be harder to press, and your stopping distance will be longer. Also, the brake system warning light may come on.

CAUTION

Do not drive your vehicle with only a

single brake system. Have your brakes fixed immediately.

The brake booster uses engine vacuum to powerassist the brakes. If the engine should quit while you are driving, you can bring the vehicle to a stop with normal pedal pressure. There is enough reserved vacuum for one or two stopsbut no more!

CAUTION

Do not pump the brake pedal if the

engine stalls. Each push on the pedal uses up your reserved vacu- um.

Even if the power assist is com- pletely lost, the brakes will still work. But you will have to push the

pedal hard, much harder than nor- mal. And your braking distance will be longer.

ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (with ABS" warning light)

The antilock brake system is designed to help prevent lockup of the wheels during a sudden braking or braking on

slippery road surfaces. This assists in providing directional stability and steer- ing performance of the vehicle under

these circumstances.

Effective way to press the ABS brake

pedal: When the antilock brake system function is in action, you may feel the brake pedal pulsating and hear a noise.

In this situation, to let the antilock brake system work for you, just hold the brake pedal down more firmly. Do not

pump the brake in a panic stop. This will result in reduced braking performan- ce.

The antilock brake system becomes op-

erative after the vehicle has accelerated to a speed in excess of approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when the

vehicle decelerates to a speed below approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).

Depressing the brake pedal on slippery road surfaces such as on the manhole cover, the steel plate under the construc-

tion, joints in the bridge, etc. on a rainy day tends to activate the antilock brake system.

You may hear a click or motor sound in the engine compartment for a few seconds when the engine is started or just after

the vehicle is started. This means that the antilock brake system is in the self check mode, and does not indicate a mal-

function.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1332001 CELICA (20766U)

When the antilock brake system is ac- tivated, the following conditions may occur. They do not indicate a malfunc-

tion of the system:

You may hear the antilock brake sys- tem operating and feel the brake pedal

pulsating and the vibrations of the ve- hicle body and steering wheel. You may also hear the motor sound in the

engine compartment even after the ve- hicle is stopped.

At the end of the antilock brake sys- tem activation, the brake pedal may move a little forward.

CAUTION

Do not overestimate the antilock

brake system: Although the antilock brake system assists in providing ve- hicle control, it is still important to

drive with all due care and maintain a moderate speed and safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, be-

cause there are limits to the vehicle stability and effectiveness of steering wheel operation even with the anti

lock brake system on.

If tires grip performance exceeds its

capability, or if hydroplaning occurs during high speed driving in the rain, the antilock brake system does not

provide vehicle control.

Antilock brake system is not de- signed to shorten the stopping dis-

tance: Always drive at the moderate speed and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.

Compared with vehicles without an antilock brake system, your vehicle may 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 the joints on the road.

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

Install all 4 tires of specified size at

appropriate pressure: The antilock brake system detects vehicle speeds using the speed sensors for respec-

tive wheels turning speeds. The use of tires other than specified may fail to detect the accurate turning speed

resulting in a longer stopping dis- tance.

Type A

Type B

ABS" warning light

The light comes on when the ignition key

is turned to the ON" position. If the anti lock brake system works properly, the light turns off after a few seconds. There-

after, if the system malfunctions, the light comes on again.

When the ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the antilock brake system does not operate,

but the brake system still operates con- ventionally.

When the ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the antilock brake system does not operate

so that the wheels could lock up during a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces.

If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by

the warning light system. Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle.

The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned to the ON" posi-

tion, or remains on.

The light comes on while you are driv-

ing.

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

CAUTION

If the ABS" warning light remains on

together with the brake system warn- ing light, immediately stop your ve- hicle at a safe place and contact your

Toyota dealer.

In this case, not only the antilock brake system will fail but also the

vehicle will become extremely unsta- ble during braking.

DRUMINDISC TYPE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM

Your vehicle has a drumindisc type parking brake system. This type of brake system needs beddingdown of the brake shoes periodically or whenever the parking brake shoes and/or drums are replaced.

Have your Toyota dealer perform the bed- dingdown.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1352001 CELICA (20766U)

Brake pad wear limit indicators

The brake pad wear limit indicators on your disc brakes give a warning noise when the brake pads are worn to where replacement is required.

If you hear a squealing or scraping noise while driving, have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. Expensive ro- tor damage can result if the pads are not replaced when necessary.

Luggage stowage precautions

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

Put luggage or cargo in the luggage compartment when at all possible. Be sure 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 bal- ance.

For better fuel economy, do not carry unneeded weight.

CAUTION

To prevent luggage or packages

from sliding forward during braking, do not stack anything in the lug- gage compartment higher than the

seatbacks. Keep luggage or package low, as close to the floor as pos- sible.

Never allow anyone to ride in the

luggage compartment. It is not de- signed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat

belts properly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer serious bodily injury, in the event

of sudden braking or a collision.

Do not place anything on the lug- gage cover. Such items may be

thrown about and possibly injure people in the vehicle during sudden braking or an accident.

Do not drive with objects left on top of the instrument panel. They

may interfere with the drivers field of view. Or they may move during sharp vehicle acceleration or turn-

ing, and impair the drivers control of the vehicle. In an accident they may injure the vehicle occupants.

NOTICE

Do not load the vehicle beyond the

vehicle capacity weight specified in Section 8.

Your new vehicle carries theft preven- tion labels which are approximately 56 mm (2.20 in.) by 16 mm (0.63 in.).

The purpose of these labels is to reduce the incidence of vehicle thefts by facilitat- ing the tracing and recovery of parts from stolen vehicles. The label is designed so that once it is applied to a surface, any attempt to remove it will result in destroy- ing the integrity of the label. Transferring these labels intact from one part to anoth- er, will be impossible.

NOTICE

You should not attempt to remove the

theft prevention labels as it may vio- late certain state or federal laws.

Types of tires

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

1. Summer tires

Summer tires are highspeed capability tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions.

Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, sum- mer tires are inadequate for driving on snowcovered or icy roads. For driving on snowcovered or icy roads, we recom- mend using snow tires. If installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.

2. All season tires

All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use all year round.

All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in accel- eration and handling performance compared with summer tires in highway driving.

CAUTION

Do not mix summer and all season

tires on your vehicle as this can cause dangerous handling charac- teristics, resulting in loss of con-

trol.

Do not use tires other than the manufactures designated tires, and

never mix tires or wheels of the sizes different from the originals.

140 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Before starting the engine

1. Check the area around the vehicle be-

fore entering it.

2. Adjust seat position, seatback angle, seat cushion angle and steering wheel

angle.

3. Adjust the inside and outside rear view

mirrors.

4. Lock both side doors.

5. Fasten seat belts.

1. Apply the parking brake firmly.

2. Turn off unnecessary lights and acces- sories.

3. Manual transmission: Press the clutch pedal to the floor and shift the trans-

mission into neutral. Hold the clutch pedal to the floor until the engine is started. A starter safety device will pre-

vent the starter from operating if the clutch pedal is not fully depressed.

Automatic transmission: Put the se-

lector lever in P". If you need to re- start the engine while the vehicle is moving, put the selector lever in N".

A starter safety device will prevent the starter from operating if the selector lever is in any drive position.

4. Automatic transmission only: De- press the brake pedal and hold it to

the floor until driving off.

(b) Starting the engine

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

Normal starting procedure

The multiport fuel injection system/sequen- tial multiport fuel injection system in your engine automatically controls the proper airfuel mixture for starting. You can start a cold or hot engine as follows:

1. With your foot off the accelerator ped-

al, crank the engine by turning the key to START". Release it when the en- gine starts.

2. After the engine runs for about 10 sec- onds, you are ready to drive.

If the weather is below freezing, let the engine warm up for a few minutes before driving.

If the engine stalls...

Simply restart it, using the correct proce- dure given in normal starting.

If the engine will not start...

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

How to start the engine (a) Before cranking

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1412001 CELICA (20766U)

NOTICE

Do not crank for more than 30 sec-

onds at a time. This may overheat the starter and wiring systems.

Do not race a cold engine.

If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have the engine 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 driving onto high, sharpedged objects and other road hazards. Failure to do so can lead to severe tire damage result- ing in tire bursts.

When parking on a hill, turn the front wheels until they touch the curb so that the vehicle will not roll. Apply the parking brake, and place the transmis- sion in P" (automatic) or in first or reverse (manual). If necessary, block the wheels.

Washing your vehicle or driving through deep water may get the brakes wet. To see whether they are wet, check that there is no traffic near you, and then press the pedal lightly. If you do not feel a normal braking force, the brakes are probably wet. To dry them, drive the vehicle cautiously while lightly pressing the brake pedal with the park- ing brake applied. If they still do not work safely, pull to the side of the road and call a Toyota dealer for assistance.

CAUTION

Before driving off, make sure that

the parking brake is fully released and the parking brake reminder light is off.

Do not leave your vehicle unat- tended while the engine is running.

Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving. It can cause dangerous overheating, needless

wear, and poor fuel economy.

To drive down a long or steep hill, reduce your speed and downshift.

Remember, if you ride the brakes excessively, they may overheat and

not work properly.

Be careful when accelerating, up- shifting, downshifting or braking on

a slippery surface. Sudden accelera- tion or engine braking, could cause the vehicle to spin or skid.

Tips for driving in various conditions

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

142 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Do not drive in excess of the speed

limit. Even if the legal speed limit permits it, do not drive over 140 km/h (85 mph) unless your vehicle

has highspeed capability tires. Driving over 140 km/h (85 mph) may result in tire failure, loss of control

and possible injury. Be sure to con- sult a tire dealer to determine whether the tires on your vehicle

are highspeed capability tires or not before driving at such speeds.

Do not continue normal driving

when the brakes are wet. If they are wet, your vehicle will require a lon-

ger stopping distance, and it may pull to one side when the brakes are applied. Also, the parking brake

will not hold the vehicle securely.

Winter driving tips

Make sure you have a proper freeze

protection of engine coolant.

Your coolant must contain ethyleneglycol type coolant for a proper corrosion

protection of aluminum components. Use TOYOTA Long Life Coolant" or equivalent.

See Section 72 for details about coolant type selection.

NOTICE

Do not use alcohol type antifreeze or

plain water alone.

When it is extremely cold, we recommend to use 60% solution for your Toyota, to

provide protection down to about 50C (58F). Do not use more than 70% solu- tion for better coolant performance.

Check the condition of the battery and cables.

Cold temperatures reduce the capacity of any battery, so it must be in top shape to provide enough power for winter start-

ing. Section 73 tells you how to visually inspect the battery. Your Toyota dealer and most service stations will be pleased

to check the level of charge.

Make sure the engine oil viscosity is suitable for the cold weather.

See Section 72 for recommended viscos- ity. Leaving a heavy summer oil in your vehicle during winter months may cause harder starting. If you are not sure about which oil to use, call your Toyota deal- erhe will be pleased to help.

Keep the door locks from freezing.

Squirt lock deicer or glycerine into the locks to keep them from freezing. To open a frozen lock, try heating the key before inserting it.

Use a washer fluid containing an anti- freeze solution.

This product is available at your Toyota dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow the manufacturers directions for how much to mix with water.

NOTICE

Do not use engine antifreeze or any

other substitute because it may dam- age your vehicles paint.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1432001 CELICA (20766U)

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

When parking, put the transmission into P" (automatic) or into first or reverse (manual) and block the rear wheels. Do not use the parking brake, or snow or water accumulated in and around the parking brake mechanism may freeze, making it hard to release.

Keep ice and snow from accumulating under the fenders.

Ice and snow built up under your fenders can make steering difficult. During bad winter driving, stop and check under the fenders occasionally.

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

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

NOTICE

Do not use window scraper or deicer

when the plastic resin moon roof is heavily coated with frost or ice. The plastic resin moon roof is easily dam-

aged.

Your vehicle is not designed to be dinghy towed (with four wheels on the

ground) behind a motorhome.

NOTICE

Do not tow your vehicle with four

wheels on the ground. This may cause serious damage to your vehicle.

Your vehicle can be dinghy towed (with four wheels on the ground) from the

front behind a motorhome.

CAUTION

Dinghy towing requires special equip-

ment and accessories. Please refer to your service outlet of the motorhome manufacture for the recommended

equipment.

possibility of damage to your vehicle.

DINGHY TOWING TIPS

Before dinghy towing, be sure to ob- serve the following in order to reduce the damage to your vehicle.

With automatic transmission (2ZZFE engine only)

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON" position.

2. Shift the selector lever into the N"

3. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC"

position. Make sure the audio is turned off and any item is not plugged into the power outlet.

NOTICE

To avoid the locking of the steering

wheel, turn the ignition switch to the ACC" position.

4. Release the parking brake.

NOTICE

To prevent the vehicle from being

damaged, observe following.

Do not tow the vehicle at the ve- hicle speed more than 88 km/h (55

mph).

Do not tow the vehicle for more

than 320 km (200 miles).

After dinghy towing or at the recom- mended distance limit, let the engine idle

for more than 3 minutes before driving the vehicle or resuming towing.

With manual transmission

1. Put the shift lever in neutral.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC" position. Make sure the audio is turned off and any item is not plugged into

the power outlet.

NOTICE

To avoid the locking of the steering

wheel, turn the ignition switch to the ACC" position.

3. Release the parking brake.

After dinghy towing, let the engine idle for more than 3 minutes before driving the vehicle.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1452001 CELICA (20766U)

NOTICE

Do not tow your vehicle from the

rear. This may cause serious damage to your vehicle.

Trailer towing

Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passengercarrying vehicle. Towing a trailer will have an adverse effect on handling, performance, braking, durability and driving economy (fuel consumption, etc.). Your safety and satisfaction depend on the proper use of correct equipment and cautious driving habits. For your safety and the safety of others, you must not overload your vehicle or trailer. Toyota warranties do not apply to damage or malfunction caused by towing a trailer for commercial purposes. Ask your local Toyota dealer for further details before towing.

WEIGHT LIMITS

Before towing, make sure the total trailer weight, gross vehicle weight, gross axle weight and trailer tongue load are all with- in the limits.

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

CAUTION

The total trailer weight (trailer

weight plus its cargo load) must not exceed 907 kg (2000 lb.). Ex- ceeding this weight is dangerous.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

146 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Trailer hitch assemblies have differ-

ent weight capacities established by the hitch manufacturer. Even though the vehicle may be physically capa-

ble of towing a higher weight, the operator must determine the maxi- mum weight rating of the particular

hitch assembly and never exceed the maximum weight rating speci- fied for the trailerhitch. Exceeding

the maximum weight rating set by the trailer hitch manufacturer can cause an accident resulting in seri-

ous personal injuries.

Total trailer weight

Total trailer weight

Tongue load

Tongue load

100 = 9 to 11%

The gross vehicle weight must not

exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) indicated on the Certification Label. The gross ve-

hicle weight is the sum of weights of the unloaded vehicle, driver, pas- sengers, luggage, hitch and trailer

tongue load. It also includes the weight of any special equipment installed on your vehicle.

The load on either the front or rear axle resulting from distribution of the gross vehicle weight on both

axles must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed

on the Certification Label.

The trailer cargo load should be

distributed so that the tongue load is 9 to 11% of the total trailer weight, not exceeding the maximum

of 90 kg (200 lb.). Never load the trailer with more weight in the back than in the front. About 60% of the

trailer load should be in the front half of the trailer and the remaining 40% in the rear.

HITCHES

Use only a hitch which is recom- mended by the hitch manufacturer and conforms to the total trailer weight re- quirement.

Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer, and bolt the hitch securely to the rear bumper. Lubricate the hitch ball with a light coat of grease.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1472001 CELICA (20766U)

Toyota recommends removing the trail- er hitch whenever you are not towing a trailer to reduce the possibility of additional damage caused by the hitch if your vehicle is struck from behind. After removing the hitch, seal any mounting holes in the vehicle body to prevent entry of pollutants such as ex- haust fumes, dirt, water, etc.

NOTICE

Do not use axlemounted hitches as

they can cause damage to the axle housing, wheel bearings, wheels or tires. Also, never install a hitch which

may interfere with the normal function of an Energy Absorbing Bumper.

BRAKES AND SAFETY CHAINS

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

A safety chain must always be used between the towing vehicle and the trailer. Leave sufficient slack in the chain for turns. The chain should cross under the trailer tongue to prevent the tongue from dropping to the ground in case it becomes dam- aged or separated. For correct safety chain procedures, follow the hitch or trailer manufacturers recommenda- tions.

CAUTION

If the total trailer weight exceeds

453 kg (1000 lb.), trailer brakes are required.

Never tap into your vehicles hy-

draulic system as it would lower its braking effectiveness.

Never tow a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle. If

damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch ball, there is danger of the trailer wandering over into another

lane.

TIRES

Ensure that your vehicles tires are properly inflated. See Section 72 for instructions.

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

TRAILER LIGHTS

Trailer lights must comply with federal, state/provincial and local regulations. See your local recreational vehicle dealer or rental agency for the correct type of wiring and relays for your trail- er. Check for correct operation of the turn signals and stop lights each time you hitch up. Direct splicing may dam- age your vehicles electrical system and cause a malfunction of your lights.

BREAKIN SCHEDULE

Toyota recommends that you do not tow a trailer with a new vehicle or a vehicle with any new power train com- ponent (engine, transmission, differen- tial, wheel bearing, etc.) for the first 800 km (500 miles) of driving.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

148 2001 CELICA (20766U)

MAINTENANCE

If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load. For this information, please refer to the scheduled maintenance information in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide" or Owners Manual Supplement".

Retighten all fixing bolts of the towing ball and bracket after approximately 1000 km (600 miles) of trailer driving.

PRETOWING SAFETY CHECK

Check that your vehicle remains a lev- el when a loaded or unloaded trailer is hitched. Do not drive if the vehicle has an abnormal noseup or nosedown condition, and check for improper tongue load, overload, worn suspension or other possible causes.

Make sure the trailer cargo is securely

loaded so that it can not 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 required for towing purpose.

TRAILER TOWING TIPS

When towing a trailer, your vehicle will handle 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 of the lights and all vehicletrailer 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 from traffic until you learn the feel.

Backing with a trailer is difficult and requires practice. Grip the bottom of the steering wheel and move your hand to the left to move the trailer to the left. Move your hand to the right to move the trailer to the right. (This pro- cedure is generally opposite to that when backing without a trailer.) Also, just turn the steering wheel a little at a time, avoiding sharp or prolonged turning. Have someone guide you when backing to reduce the risk of an acci- dent.

Because stopping distance may be in- creased, vehicletovehicle distance should be increased when towing a trailer. For each 16 km/h (10 mph) of speed, allow at least one vehicle and trailer length between you and the ve- hicle ahead. Avoid sudden braking as you may skid, resulting in jackknifing and loss of control. This is especially true on wet or slippery surfaces.

Avoid jerky starts or sudden accelera- tion. If your vehicle has a manual transmission, prevent excessive clutch slippage by keeping engine rpm low and not racing the engine. Always start out in first gear.

Avoid jerky steering and sharp turns. The trailer could hit your vehicle in a tight turn. Slow down before making a turn to avoid the necessity of sudden braking.

Remember that when making a turn, the trailer wheels will be closer than the vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. Therefore, compensate for this by making a larger than normal turning radius with your vehicle.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1492001 CELICA (20766U)

Crosswinds and rough roads will ad- versely affect handling of your vehicle and trailer, causing sway. Pay attention to the rear from time to time to pre- pare yourself for being passed by large trucks or buses, which may cause your vehicle and trailer to sway. If swaying happens, firmly grip the steering wheel and reduce speed immediately but gradually. Never increase speed. Steer straight ahead. If you make no extreme correction with the steering or brakes, the vehicle and trailer will stabilize.

Be careful when passing other ve- hicles. Passing requires considerable distance. After passing a vehicle, do not forget the length of your trailer and be sure you have plenty of room be- fore changing lanes.

In order to maintain engine braking effi- ciency do not use fifth gear (5speed manual transmission), sixth gear (6speed manual transmission) or over- drive (automatic transmission).

Because of the added load of the trail- er, your vehicles engine may overheat on hot days (at temperatures over 30C [85F]) when going up a long or steep grade with a trailer. If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating, immediately turn off the air conditioning (if in use), pull off the road and stop in a safe spot. Refer to If your vehicle overheats" in Section 4.

Always place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Apply the parking brake firmly. Put the transmission in P" (automatic) or in first or reverse (manual). Avoid parking on a slope with a trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so only after performing the following:

1. Apply the brakes and hold.

2. Have someone place wheel blocks un- der both the vehicle and trailer wheels.

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

4. Apply the parking brake firmly.

5. Shift into first or reverse (manual) or

P" (automatic) and turn off the engine.

When restarting out after parking on a slope:

1. With the transmission in P" position

(automatic) or the clutch pedal de- pressed (manual), start the engine. (With an automatic transmission, be

sure to keep the brake pedal de- pressed.)

2. Shift into gear.

3. Release the parking brake (also foot brake on automatic transmission ve-

hicles) and slowly pull or back away from the wheel blocks. Stop and apply your brakes.

4. Have someone retrieve the blocks.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

150 2001 CELICA (20766U)

CAUTION

Do not exceed 72 km/h (45 mph) or

the posted towing speed limit, whichever is lower. Because insta- bility (swaying) of a towing vehicle

trailer combination usually in- creases as the speed increases, ex- ceeding 72 km/h (45 mph) may

cause loss of control.

Slow down and downshift before descending steep or long downhill

grades. Do not make sudden down- shifts.

Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat

and result in reduced braking effi- ciency.

Getting more kilometers/mileage from a liter/gallon of fuel is easyjust take it easy. It will help make your vehicle last longer, too. Here are some specific tips on how to save money on both fuel and repairs:

Keep your tires inflated at the cor- rect pressure. Underinflation causes

tire wear and wastes fuel. See Section 72 for instructions.

Do not carry unneeded weight in your vehicle. Excess weight puts a heavier load on the engine, causing

greater fuel consumption.

Avoid lengthy warmup idling. Once

the engine is running smoothly, begin drivingbut gently. Remember, howev- er, that on cold winter days this may

take a little longer.

Keep the automatic transmission overdrive turned on when engine

braking is not required. Driving with the overdrive off will reduce the fuel economy. (For details, see Automatic

transmission" in Section 16.)

Accelerate slowly and smoothly.

Avoid jackrabbit starts. Get into high gear as quickly as possible.

Avoid long engine idling. If you have a long wait and you are not in traffic, it is better to turn off the engine and

start again later.

Avoid engine lugging or overrev- ving. Use a gear position suitable for

the road on which you are travelling.

Avoid continuous speeding up and

slowing down. Stopandgo driving wastes fuel.

Avoid unnecessary stopping and

braking. Maintain a steady pace. Try to time the traffic signals so you only need to stop as little as possible or

take advantage of through streets to avoid traffic lights. Keep a proper dis- tance from other vehicles to avoid sud-

den braking. This will also reduce wear on your brakes.

Avoid heavy traffic or traffic jams whenever possible.

Do not rest your foot on the clutch or brake pedal. This causes premature wear, overheating and poor fuel econo-

my.

Maintain a moderate speed on high- ways. The faster you drive, the greater

the fuel consumption. By reducing your speed, you will cut down on fuel con- sumption.

How to save fuel and make your vehicle last longer, too

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1512001 CELICA (20766U)

Keep the front wheels in proper alignment. Avoid hitting the curb and slow down on rough roads. Improper

alignment not only causes faster tire wear but also puts an extra load on the engine, which, in turn, wastes fuel.

Keep the bottom of your vehicle free from mud, etc. This not only lessens weight but also helps prevent corro-

sion.

Keep your vehicle tunedup and in

top shape. A dirty air cleaner, improp- er valve clearance, dirty plugs, dirty oil and grease, brakes not adjusted, etc.

all lower engine performance and con- tribute to poor fuel economy. For longer life of all parts and lower operating

costs, keep all maintenance work on schedule, and if you often drive under severe conditions, see that your vehicle

receives more frequent maintenance. (For scheduled maintenance informa- tion, please refer to the Scheduled

Maintenance Guide" or Owners Manu- al Supplement".)

CAUTION

Never turn off the engine to coast

down hills. Your power steering and brake booster will not function with- out the engine running. Also, the

emission control system operates properly only when the engine is run- ning.

Before making these checks, make sure you have followed the correct starting pro- cedure given in How to start the engine" in Section 3 and that you have sufficient fuel.

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

1. Check that the battery terminals are tight and clean.

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

3. If the light is out, dim or goes out when the starter is cranked, the battery is discharged. You may try jump start- ing. See (c) Jump starting" for further instructions.

If the light is O.K., but the engine still will not start, it needs adjustment or repair. Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop.

NOTICE

Do not pull or pushstart the vehicle.

It may damage the vehicle or cause a

collision when the engine starts. Also

the threeway catalytic converter may

overheat and become a fire hazard.

If the engine turns over at its normal speed but will not start

1. Turn the ignition key to ACC" or LOCK" and try starting the engine

again.

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

3. If the engine still will not start, it needs

adjustment or repair. Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop.

(b) Starting a flooded engine

If the engine will not start, your engine may be flooded because of repeated cranking.

If this happens, turn the key to START" with the accelerator pedal held down. Keep the key and accelerator pedal so for 15 seconds and release them. Then try starting the engine with your foot off the accelerator pedal.

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

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

NOTICE

Do not crank for more than 30 seconds

at a time. This may overheat the starter

and wiring systems.

If your vehicle will not start (a) Simple checks

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1552001 CELICA (20766U)

(c) Jump starting

To avoid serious personal injury and damage to your vehicle which might re- sult from battery explosion, acid burns, electrical burns, or damaged electronic components, these instructions must be followed precisely.

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

CAUTION

Batteries contain sulfuric acid

which is poisonous and corrosive. Wear protective safety glasses when jump starting, and avoid spilling

acid on your skin, clothing, or ve- hicle.

If you should accidentally get acid

on yourself or in your eyes, remove any contaminated clothing and flush the affected area with water imme-

diately. Then get immediate medical attention. If possible, continue to apply water with a sponge or cloth

while en route to the medical office.

The gas normally produced by a

battery will explode if a flame or spark is brought near. Use only standardized jumper cables and do

not smoke or light a match while jump starting.

NOTICE

The battery used for boosting must

be 12 V. Do not jump start unless you are sure that the booster battery is correct.

JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE

1. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, make sure the vehicles are not touching. Turn off all unneces- sary lights and accessories.

2. If required, remove all the vent plugs from the booster and discharged batter- ies. Lay a cloth over the open vents on the batteries. (This helps reduce the explosion hazard, personal injuries and burns.)

3. If the engine in the vehicle with the booster battery is not running, start it and let it run for a few minutes. During jump starting, run the engine at about 2000 rpm with the accelerator pedal lightly depressed.

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

CAUTION

When making the connections, to

avoid serious injury, do not lean over the battery or accidentally let the jumper cables or clamps touch any-

thing except the correct battery termi- nals or the ground.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1572001 CELICA (20766U)

5. Start your engine in the normal way. After starting, run it at about 2000 rpm for several minutes with the accelerator

pedal lightly depressed.

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

7. Carefully dispose of the battery cover clothsthey may now contain sulfuric acid.

8. If removed, replace all the battery vent plugs.

If the cause of your battery discharging is not apparent (for example, lights left on), you should have it checked.

If your engine stalls while driving...

1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place.

2. Turn on your emergency flashers.

3. Turn the ignition key to ACC" or LOCK", and try starting the engine again.

If the engine will not start, see If your vehicle will not start" in this section.

CAUTION

If the engine is not running, the pow-

er assist for the brakes and steering will not work so steering and braking will be much harder than usual.

If your vehicle overheats

If your engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating, if you ex- perience a loss of power, or if you hear a loud knocking or pinging noise, the engine has probably overheated. You should follow this procedure...

1. Pull safely off the road, stop the ve- hicle and turn on your emergency flashers. Put the transmission in P" (automatic) or neutral (manual) and ap- ply the parking brake. Turn off the air conditioning if it is being used.

2. If coolant or steam is boiling out of the radiator or reservoir, stop the engine. Wait until the steam subsides before opening the hood. If there is no coolant boiling over or steam, leave the engine running and make sure the electric cooling fan is operating. If it is not, turn the ignition off.

CAUTION

To help avoid personal injury, keep

the hood closed until there is no steam. Escaping steam or coolant is a sign of very high pressure.

If your engine stalls while driving

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

158 2001 CELICA (20766U)

3. Look for obvious coolant leaks from the radiator, hoses, and under the vehicle. However, note that water draining from

the air conditioning is normal if it has been used.

CAUTION

When the engine is running, keep

hands and clothing away from the moving fan and engine drive belts.

4. If the coolant is leaking, stop the en- gine immediately. Call a Toyota dealer

for assistance.

5. If there are no obvious leaks, check the coolant reservoir.

If it is dry, call a Toyota dealer for assistance as soon as possible.

If there is enough coolant in the reser- voir, again check the coolant level in the reservoir after the engine coolant

temperature has cooled to normal. Seri- ous coolant loss indicates a leak in the system. You should have it checked as

soon as possible at you Toyota dealer.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to touch the coolant

reservoir tank when the engine and radiator are hot. Serious injury could result from scalding hot fluid and

steam blown out under pressure.

If you have a flat tire

1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping

a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place well away from the traffic. Avoid stopping on the center

divider of a highway. Park on a level spot with firm ground.

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

3. Firmly set the parking brake and put the transmission in P" (automatic) or reverse (manual).

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

5. Read the following instructions thor- oughly.

CAUTION

When jacking, be sure to observe the

following to reduce the possibility of personal injury:

Follow jacking instructions.

Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle supported by the

jack. Personal injury may occur.

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

jack.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1592001 CELICA (20766U)

Stop the vehicle on a level firm

ground, firmly set the parking brake and put the transmission in P" (automatic) or reverse (manual).

Block the wheel diagonally opposite to the one being changed if neces- sary.

Make sure to set the jack properly in the jack point. Raising the ve- hicle with jack improperly posi-

tioned will damage the vehicle or may allow the vehicle to fall off the jack and cause personal injury.

Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is supported by the jack

alone.

Use the jack only for lifting your

vehicle during wheel changing.

Do not raise the vehicle with some- one in the vehicle.

When raising the vehicle, do not put an object on or under the jack.

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

NOTICE

Do not continue driving with a de- flated tire. Driving even a short dis- tance can damage a tire and wheel beyond repair.

Type A

Type B

Spare tire with turning direction indica- tors (some models)

The spare tires with turning direction indicators (arrows) are unidirectional

and intended to be used so that they turn in the same direction as the turn- ing direction indicators (arrows).

Installing the wheel on the driver side of the vehicle will not affect tire performance. If the spare tire is used on the driver side

of the vehicle, it should be used only temporarily and then replaced with the correct one.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

160 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Compact spare tire

The compact spare tire is designed for temporary emergency use only.

The compact spare tire is identified by the distinctive wheel design and color and special wording TEMPORARY USE ONLY" molded into the side wall of the tire.

The standard tire should be repaired and replaced as soon as possible.

The compact spare tire saves space in your trunk or luggage compartment, and its lighter weight helps to improve fuel economy and permits easier installation in case of a flat tire.

The compact spare tire can be used many times, if necessary. It has tread life of up to 4800 km (3000 miles) depending on road conditions and your driving habits. When tread wear indicators appear on the tire, replace the tire.

See also the tire section in Section 72 for details on the tread wear indicators and other service information.

CAUTION

The compact spare tire was de-

signed especially for your Toyota. Do not use it on any other vehicle.

Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)

when driving with the compact spare tire.

Avoid sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration and sharp turns with the compact spare tire.

NOTICE

Your ground clearance is reduced when the compact spare tire is installed so avoid driving over ob- stacles and drive slowly on rough, unpaved roads and speed bumps. Also, do not attempt to go through an automatic car wash as the vehicle may get caught, resulting in damage.

2. Twist the jack head clockwise and pull out the jack.

To store the jack, put the jack base on the fitting place. Turn the joint until the

jack upper side fits securely with the pro- trusion of the carrier.

This prevents the jack from flying forward during a collision or sudden braking.

CAUTION

When storing the jack, be careful not

to injure your hands with the edge of the trim.

To remove the spare tire:

1. Remove the spare tire cover.

2. Loosen the bolt and remove it.

Then take the spare tire out of the ve- hicle.

When storing the spare tire, put it in place with the inner side of the wheel facing up. Then secure the tire by repeating the above removal steps in reverse order to prevent it from flying forward during a collision or sudden braking.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

164 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Loosening wheel nuts

4. Loosen all the wheel nuts.

Always loosen the wheel nuts before rais- ing the vehicle.

Turn the wheel nuts counterclockwise to loosen. To get maximum leverage, fit the wrench to the nut so that the handle is on the right side, as shown above. Grab the wrench near the end of the handle and pull up on the handle. Be careful that the wrench does not slip off the nut.

Do not remove the nuts yetjust unscrew them about onehalf turn.

Positioning the jack

5. Position the jack at the correct jack point as shown.

Make sure the jack is positioned on a level and solid place.

Raising your vehicle

6. After making sure that no one is in the vehicle, raise it high enough so that the spare tire can be installed.

Remember you will need more ground clearance when putting on the spare tire than when removing the flat tire.

To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle into the jack (it is a loose fit) and turn it clockwise. As the jack touches the vehicle and begins to lift, doublecheck that it is properly positioned.

CAUTION

Never get under the vehicle when the

vehicle is supported by the jack alone.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1652001 CELICA (20766U)

Changing wheels

7. Remove the wheel nuts and change tires.

Lift the flat tire straight off and put it aside.

Roll the spare wheel into position and align the holes in the wheel with the bolts. Then lift up the wheel and get at least the top bolt started through its hole. Wiggle the tire and press it back over the other bolts.

Before putting on wheels, remove any cor- rosion on the mounting surfaces with a wire brush or such. Installation of wheels without good metaltometal contact at the mounting surface can cause wheel nuts to loosen and eventually cause a wheel to come off while driving. Therefore after the first 1600 km (1000 miles), check to see that the wheel nuts are tight.

Reinstalling wheel nuts

8. Reinstall all the wheel nuts finger tight.

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

Lowering your vehicle

9. Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the wheel nuts.

Turn the jack handle counterclockwise to lower the vehicle.

Use only the wheel nut wrench and turn it clockwise to tighten the nuts. Do not use other tools or any additional leverage other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot. Make sure the wrench is securely engaged over the nut.

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

CAUTION

When lowering the vehicle, make sure

all portions of your body and all oth- er persons around will not be injured as the vehicle is lowered to the

ground.

ment to avoid unexpected personal injury.

After changing wheels

11. Check the air pressure of the re-

placed tire.

Adjust the air pressure to the specification designated in Section 8. If the pressure is lower, drive slowly to the nearest service station and fill to the correct pressure.

Do not forget to reinstall the tire inflation valve cap as dirt and moisture could get into the valve core and possibly cause air leakage. If the cap is missing, have a new one put on as soon as possible.

12. Restow all the tools, jack and flat tire securely.

As soon after changing wheels as pos- sible, tighten the wheel nuts to the torque specified in Section 8 with a torque wrench. Have a technician repair the flat tire and replace the spare tire with it.

CAUTION

Before driving, make sure all the

tools, jack and flat tire are securely in place in their storage location to reduce the possibility of personal in-

jury during a collision or sudden braking.

If your vehicle needs to be towed

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

168 2001 CELICA (20766U)

If towing is necessary, we recommend you to have it done by your Toyota dealer or a commercial tow truck ser- vice. In consultation with them, have your vehicle towed using either (a) or (b).

Only when you cannot receive a towing service from a Toyota dealer or commercial tow truck service, tow your vehicle carefully in accordance with the instructions given in Emergency towing" in this section.

Proper equipment will help ensure that your vehicle is not damaged while being towed. Commercial operators are generally aware of the state/provincial and local laws pertaining to towing.

Your vehicle can be damaged if it is towed incorrectly. Although most operators know the correct procedure, it is possible to make a mistake. To avoid damage to your vehicle, make sure the following pre- cautions are observed. If necessary, show this page to the tow truck driver.

TOWING PRECAUTIONS:

Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by the state/provincial and local laws. The wheels and axle on the ground must be in good condition. If they are damaged, use a towing dolly.

(a) Towing with wheel lift type truck

From frontRelease the parking brake.

NOTICE

When lifting wheels, take care to en-

sure adequate ground clearance for towing at the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Otherwise, the bumper

and/or underbody of the towed vehicle will be damaged during towing.

We recommend using a towing dolly

under the front wheels. If you do not use a towing dolly, place the ignition key in the ACC" position and put the

transmission in neutral.

NOTICE

Do not tow with the key removed or

in the LOCK" position when towing from the rear without a towing dolly. The steering lock mechanism is not

strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.

Automatic transmission:

Use a towing dolly under the front wheels.

NOTICE

Never tow a vehicle with an automatic

transmission from the rear with the front wheels on the ground, as this may cause serious damage to the

transmission.

(b) Using flat bed truck

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

If towing service is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be tempo- rarily towed by a cable or chain se- cured to the emergency towing eyelet under the front of the vehicle or the left emergency towing eyelet under the rear of the vehicle. Use extreme caution when towing vehicles.

NOTICE

Only use specified towing eyelet;

otherwise your vehicle may be dam- aged.

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

Towing in this manner may be done only on hardsurfaced roads for a short dis- tance and at low speeds. Also, the wheels, axles, drive train, steering and brakes must all be in good condition.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

170 2001 CELICA (20766U)

CAUTION

Use extreme caution when towing ve-

hicles. Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which would place excessive stress on the emergency

towing eyelets and towing cable or chain. The eyelets and towing cable or chain may break and cause serious

injury or damage.

NOTICE

Use only a cable or chain specifically intended for use in towing vehicles. Securely fasten the cable or chain to the towing eyelets provided.

Before towing, release the parking brake and put the transmission in neutral (manu- al) or N" (automatic). The key must be in ACC" (engine off) or ON" (engine run- ning).

CAUTION

If the engine is not running, the pow-

er assist for the brakes and steering will not work so steering and braking will be much harder than usual.

If you cannot shift the selector lever out of P" position to other positions even though the brake pedal is de- pressed, use the shift lock override but- ton as follows:

1. Turn the ignition key to LOCK" position. Make sure the parking brake is on.

2. Pry up the cover with a flatbladed screwdriver or equivalent.

If you cannot shift automatic transmission selector lever

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

3. Insert your finger into the hole to push down the shift lock override button. You can shift out of P" position only while pushing the but- ton.

4. Shift into N" position.

5. Insert the cover.

6. Start the engine. For your safety, keep the brake pedal depressed.

Be sure to have the system checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

If you lose your keys

You can purchase a new key at your Toyota dealer if you can give them the key number.

See the suggestion given in Keys" in Section 12.

If your keys are locked in the vehicle and you cannot get a duplicate, many Toyota dealers can still open the door for you, using their special tools. If you must break a window to get in, we suggest breaking the smallest side window be- cause it is the least expensive to replace. Be extremely cautious to avoid cuts from the glass.

You can purchase a new wireless re- mote control transmitter at your Toyota dealer.

Have the registered identification numbers of your transmitters deleted from your ve- hicle by your Toyota dealer as soon as

possible to avoid the possibility of theft or an accident. Then, have the identification number of your new transmitter registered.

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

You can use the wireless remote control system with the new transmitter. Contact

your Toyota dealer for detailed information.

SECTION 5

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

174 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Toyota, through its diligent research, de- sign and use of the most advanced technology available, has done its part to

help prevent corrosion and has provided you with the finest quality vehicle construction. Now, it is up to you. Proper

care of your Toyota can help ensure long term corrosion prevention.

The most common causes of corrosion to your vehicle are:

The accumulation of road salt, dirt and moisture in hardtoreach areas under

the vehicle.

Chipping of paint, or undercoating

caused by minor accidents or by stones and gravel.

Care is especially important if you live

in particular areas or operate your ve- hicle under certain environmental condi- tions:

Road salt or dust control chemicals will accelerate 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 just above the freezing point.

Wetness or dampness to certain parts of your vehicle for an extended period of time, may cause corrosion even

though other parts of the vehicle may be dry.

High ambient temperatures can cause

corrosion to those components of the vehicle which are prevented from quickdrying due to lack of proper ven-

tilation.

The above signifies the necessity to keep

your vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean as possible and to repair any dam- age to paint or protective coatings as

soon as possible.

To help prevent corrosion on your Toyota, follow these guidelines:

Wash your vehicle frequently. It is, of course, necessary to keep your vehicle

clean by regular washing, but to prevent corrosion, the following points should be observed:

If you drive on salted roads in the winter or if you live near the ocean,

you should hose off the undercarriage at least once a month to minimize cor- rosion.

High pressure water or steam is effec- tive for cleaning the vehicles underside and wheel housings. Pay particular attention to these areas as it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt. It will do more harm than good to simply wet the mud and debris without removing them. The lower edge of doors, rocker panels and frame members have drain holes which should not be allowed to clog with dirt as trapped water in these areas can cause corrosion.

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

See Washing and waxing your Toyota" for more tips.

Check the condition of your vehicles paint and trim. If you find any chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up im- mediately to prevent corrosion from start- ing. If the chips or scratches have gone through the bare metal, have a qualified body shop make the repair.

Protecting your Toyota from corrosion

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1752001 CELICA (20766U)

Check the interior of your vehicle. Wa- ter and dirt can accumulate under the floor mats and could cause corrosion. Oc- casionally check under the mats to make sure the area is dry. Be particularly care- ful when transporting chemicals, cleans- ers, fertilizers, salt, etc.; these should be transported in proper containers. If a spill or leak should occur, immediately clean and dry the area.

Use mud shields on your wheels. If you drive on salted or gravel roads, mud shields help protect your vehicle. Fullsize shields, which come as near to the ground as possible, are the best. We recommend that the fittings and the area where the shields are installed be treated to resist corrosion. Your Toyota dealer will be happy to assist in supplying and installing the shields if they are recommended for your area.

Keep your vehicle in a well ventilated

garage or a roofed place. Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly venti- lated garage. If you wash your vehicle in

the garage, or if you drive it in covered with water or snow, your garage may be so damp it will cause corrosion. Even if

your garage is heated, a wet vehicle can corrode if the ventilation is poor.

Washing your Toyota

Keep your vehicle clean by regular washing.

The following cases may cause weakness to the paint or corrosion to the body and

parts. Wash your vehicle as soon as pos- sible.

When driving in a coastal area

When driving on a road sprinkled with antifreeze

When having coal tar, tree sap, bird droppings and carcass of an insect

When driving in the areas where there is a lot of smoke, soot, dust, iron dust and chemical substance

When the vehicle becomes remarkably dirty with dust and mud

Handwashing your Toyota

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

CAUTION

When cleaning under floor or chassis,

be careful not to injure your hands.

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

2. Wash with a mild carwash soap, mixed according to the manufacturers instructions. Use a soft cotton mitt and keep it wet by dipping it frequently into the wash water. Do not rub hardlet the soap and water remove the dirt.

Plastic resin moon roof: Wash with a mild soap or neutral detergent. Use a soft cot-

ton towel or sponge. Do not use window cleaner or abrasive cleaner. The plastic resin moon roof is easily damaged.

Plastic wheel ornaments: The plastic wheel ornaments are damaged easily by organic substances. If any organic sub-

stances splashes an ornament, be sure to wash it off with water and check if the

ornament is damaged.

CAUTION

Do not attach the heavily damaged

plastic wheel ornament. It may fly off the wheel and cause accidents while the vehicle is moving.

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

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

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

NOTICE

For plastic resin moon roof, plastic

wheel ornaments, and plastic bump- ers:

Do not use organic substances (gaso-

line, kerosene, benzine or strong sol- vents), which may be toxic or cause damage.

3. Rinse thoroughlydried soap can cause streaking. In hot weather you may need to rinse each section right after you wash it.

4. To prevent water spots, dry the vehicle using a clean soft cotton towel. Do not rub or press hardyou might scratch the paint.

Automatic car wash

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

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the antenna,

make sure it is removed before driv- ing your Toyota through an automatic car wash.

Waxing your Toyota

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

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

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

2. Use a good quality polish and wax. If the finish has become extremely weath- ered, use a carcleaning polish, fol- lowed by a separate wax. Carefully fol- low the manufacturers instructions and precautions. Be sure to polish and wax the chrome trim as well as the paint.

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

NOTICE

Do not use wax on the plastic resin

moon roof. The plastic resin moon roof is easily damaged.

Always remove the plastic bumpers

if your vehicle is repainted and placed in a high heat paint waxing booth. High temperatures could

damage the bumpers.

Cleaning the interior

CAUTION

Vehicles with side airbags:

Be careful not to splash water or spill liquid on the floor. This may prevent the side airbags from acti-

vating correctly, resulting in serious injury.

Do not wash the vehicle floor with water, or allow water to get onto the floor when cleaning the vehicle

interior or exterior. Water may get into audio components or other electrical components above or un-

der the floor carpet (or mat) and cause a malfunction; and it may cause body corrosion.

Vinyl interior

The vinyl upholstery may be easily cleaned with a mild soap or detergent and water.

First vacuum over the upholstery to re- move loose dirt. Then, using a sponge or soft cloth, apply the soap solution to the vinyl. After allowing it to soak in for a few minutes to loosen the dirt, remove the dirt and wipe off the soap with a clean damp cloth. If all the dirt do not come off, re- peat the procedure. Commercial foaming type vinyl cleaners are also available which work well. Follow the manufacturers instructions.

NOTICE

Do not use solvent, thinner, gasoline

or window cleaner on the interior.

Carpets

Use a good foamtype shampoo to clean the carpets.

Begin by vacuuming thoroughly to remove as much dirt as possible. Several types of foam cleaners are available; some are in aerosol cans and others are powders or liquids which you mix with water to pro- duce a foam. To shampoo the carpets, use a sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles.

Do not apply waterthe best results are obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as possible. Read the shampoo instructions and follow them closely.

Seat belts

The seat belts may be cleaned with mild soap and water or with lukewarm water.

Use a cloth or sponge. As you are clean- ing, check the belts for excessive wear, fraying, or cuts.

NOTICE

Do not use dye or bleach on the

beltsit may weaken them.

Do not use the belts until they be- come dry.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

178 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Windows

The windows may be cleaned with any household window cleaner.

NOTICE

When cleaning the inside of the win-

dows, be careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires on the rear window.

Air conditioning control panel, car au- dio, instrument panel, console panel, and switches

Use a soft damp cloth for cleaning.

Soak a clean soft cloth in water or luke- warm water then lightly wipe off dirt.

NOTICE

Do not use organic substances (sol-

vents, kerosene, alcohol, gasoline, etc.) or alkaline or acidic solutions. These chemicals can cause discol-

oring, staining or peeling of the surface.

If you use cleaners or polishing

agents, make sure their ingredients do not include the substances men- tioned above.

If you use a liquid car freshener, do

not spill the liquid onto the ve- hicles interior surfaces. It may con- tain the ingredients mentioned

above. Immediately clean any spill using the method mentioned above.

Leather Interior

The leather upholstery may be cleaned with neutral detergent for wool.

Remove dirt using a soft cloth dampened with 5% solution of neutral detergent for wool. Then thoroughly wipe off all traces of detergent with a clean damp cloth.

After cleaning or whenever any part of the leather gets wet, dry with a soft clean cloth. Allow the leather to dry in a venti- lated shaded area.

NOTICE

If a stain should fail to come out

with a neutral detergent, apply a cleaner that does not contain an organic solvent.

Never use organic substances such as benzine, alcohol or gasoline or alkaline or acid solutions for clean-

ing the leather as these could cause discoloring.

Use of a nylon brush or synthetic

fiber cloth, etc. may scratch the fine grained surface of the leather.

Mildew may develop on soiled leath-

er upholstery. Be especially careful to avoid oil spots. Try to keep your upholstery always clean.

Long exposure to direct sunlight may cause the leather surface to

harden and shrink. Keep your ve- hicle in a shaded area, especially in the summer.

The interior of your vehicle is apt to heat up on hot summer days, so

avoid placing on the upholstery items made of vinyl or plastic or containing wax as these tend to

stick to leather when warm.

Improper cleaning of the leather up- holstery could result in discolor-

ation or staining.

If you have any questions about the cleaning of your Toyota, your local Toyota dealer will be pleased to answer them.

SECTION 6

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

180 2001 CELICA (20766U)

Maintenance requirements

Your Toyota vehicle has been designed for

fewer maintenance requirements with lon- ger service intervals to save both your time and money. However, each regular

maintenance, as well as daytoday care, is more important than ever before to en- sure smooth, and troublefree, safe, and

economical driving.

It is the owners responsibility to make sure the specified maintenance, including

general maintenance service, is performed. Note that both the new vehicle and emis- sion control system warranties specify that

proper maintenance and care must be per- formed. See Owners Warranty Informa-

tion Booklet" or Owners Manual Supple- ment" for complete warranty information.

General maintenance

General maintenance items are those day today care practices that are important to

your vehicle for proper operation. It is the owners responsibility to insure that the general maintenance items are performed

regularly.

These checks or inspections can be done either by yourself or a qualified technician,

or if you prefer, your Toyota dealer will be pleased to do them at a nominal cost.

Scheduled maintenance

The scheduled maintenance items listed in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide" or

Owners Manual Supplement" are those required to be serviced at regular inter- vals.

For details of your maintenance schedule, read the separate Scheduled Maintenance

Guide" or Owners Manual Supplement".

It is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance or for the

repair of the emission control system be Toyota supplied.

The owner may elect to use nonToyota supplied parts for replacement pur- poses without invalidating the emission

control system warranty. However, use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the effec-

tiveness of the emission control sys- tems.

You may also elect to have mainte- nance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and system

performed by any automotive repair es- tablishment or individual without invali- dating this warranty. See Owners War-

ranty Information Booklet" or Owners Manual Supplement" for complete war- ranty information.

Where to go for service?

Toyota technicians are welltrained spe- cialists and are kept up to date with the

latest service information through technical bulletins, service tips, and indealership training programs. They learn to work on

Toyotas before they work on your vehicle, rather than while they are working on it.

You can be confident that your Toyota dealers service department performs the best job to meet the maintenance require-

ments on your vehiclereliably and eco- nomically.

Your copy of the repair order is proof that

all required maintenance has been per- formed for warranty coverage. And if any problems should arise with your vehicle

while under warranty, your Toyota dealer will promptly take care of it. Again, be

sure to keep a copy of the repair order for any service performed on your Toyota.

What about doityourself maintenance?

Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little mechani-

cal ability and a few basic automotive tools. Simple instructions for how to per- form them are presented in Section 7.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1812001 CELICA (20766U)

If you are a skilled doityourself mechan- ic, the Toyota service manuals are recom- mended. Please be aware that doityour-

self maintenance can affect your warranty coverage. See Owners Warranty Informa- tion Booklet" or Owners Manual Supple-

ment" for the details.

If you notice any change in the sound of the exhaust or smell exhaust fumes, have the cause located and corrected immedi-

ately. (See Engine exhaust cautions" in Section 2.)

Be on the alert for changes in perfor- mance, sounds, and visual tipoffs that indicate service is needed. Some impor-

tant clues are as follows:

Engine missing, stumbling, or pinging

Appreciable loss of power

Strange engine noises

A leak under the vehicle (however, wa- ter dripping from the air conditioning after use is normal.)

Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide leak. Drive with the windows open and

have the exhaust system checked im- mediately.)

Flatlooking tire; excessive tire squeal when cornering; uneven tire wear

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

Strange noises related to suspension

movement

Loss of brake effectiveness; spongy

feeling brake or clutch pedal; pedal al- most touches floor; vehicle pulls to one side when braking

Engine coolant temperature continually higher than normal

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

repair.

CAUTION

Do not continue driving with the ve-

hicle unchecked. It could result in se- rious vehicle damage and possibly personal injury.

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

You should be aware that improper or in- complete servicing may result in operating problems.

Performing doityourself maintenance during the warranty period may affect your warranty coverage. Read the separate Toyota Warranty statement for details and suggestions.

This section gives instructions only for those items that are relatively easy for an owner to perform. As explained in Section 6, there are still a number of items that must be done by a qualified technician with special tools.

For information on tools and parts for do ityourself maintenance, see Parts and tools".

Utmost care should be taken when work- ing on your vehicle to prevent accidental injury. Here are a few precautions that you should be especially careful to ob- serve:

CAUTION

When the engine is running, keep

hands, clothing, and tools away from the moving fan and engine drive belts. (Removing rings,

watches, and ties is advisable.)

Right after driving, the engine compartmentthe engine, radiator,

exhaust manifold, power steering fluid reservoir and spark plug boots, etc.will be hot. So be care-

ful not to touch them. Oil, fluids and spark plugs may also be hot.

If the engine is hot, do not remove the coolant reservoir cap or air re- lease valve or loosen the drain

plugs to prevent burning yourself.

Do not smoke, cause sparks or al-

low open flames around fuel or the battery. Their fumes are flammable.

Be extremely cautious when work-

ing on the battery. It contains poi- sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.

Do not get under your vehicle with just the body jack supporting it. Al- ways use automotive jack stands or

other solid supports.

Be sure that the ignition is off if

you work near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille. With the ignition on, the electric cooling fans

will automatically start to run if the engine coolant temperature is high and/or the air conditioning is on.

Use eye protection whenever you work on or under your vehicle where you may be exposed to flying

or falling material, fluid spray, etc.

Used engine oil contains potentially

harmful contaminants which may cause skin disorders such as in- flammation or skin cancer, so care

should be taken to avoid prolonged and repeated contact with it. To re- move used engine oil from your

skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water.

Do not leave used oil within the reach of children.

Dispose of used oil and filter only

in a safe and acceptable manner. Do not dispose of used oil and fil- ter in household trash, in sewers or

onto the ground. Call your dealer or a service station for information concerning recycling or disposal.

Doityourself service precautions

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

190 2001 CELICA (20766U)

NOTICE

Remember that battery and ignition cables carry high currents or volt- ages. Be careful of accidentally causing a short circuit.

Add only demineralized or distilled water to fill the radiator. And if you spill some of the coolant, be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging the parts or paint.

Do not allow dirt or anything else to fall through the spark plug holes.

Do not pry the outer electrode of a spark plug against the center elec- trode.

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

Do not reuse iridiumtipped spark plugs by cleaning or regapping.

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

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

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

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

When jacking up your vehicle with the jack, position the jack correctly as shown in the illustrations.

CAUTION

When jacking, be sure to observe the

following to reduce the possibility of personal injury:

Follow jacking instructions.

Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle supported by the

jack. Personal injury may occur.

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

jack.

Stop the vehicle on a level firm

ground, firmly set the parking brake and put the transmission in P" (automatic) or reverse (manual).

Block the wheels on the opposite side of the jack up point if neces- sary.

Make sure to set the jack properly in the jack point. Raising the ve-

hicle with jack improperly posi- tioned will damage the vehicle or may allow the vehicle to fall off the

jack and cause personal injury.

Never get under the vehicle when

the vehicle is supported by the jack alone.

Checking the engine oil level

Low level Full level

Add oil O.K. Too full

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

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

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

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

4. Pull the dipstick out and look at the oil level on the end.

CAUTION

Be careful not to touch the hot ex-

haust manifold.

If the oil level is below or only slightly above the low level, add engine oil of the same type as already in the engine.

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

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

SAE 5W30 is the best choice for your vehicle, for good fuel economy, and good starting in cold weather.

If you use SAE 10W30 engine oil in extremely low temperatures, the engine may become difficult to start, so SAE 5W30 engine oil is recommended.

Oil identification marks

Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil containers to help you select the oil you should use.

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

The top portion of the label shows the oil quality by API (American Petroleum Institute) designations such as SJ. The center portion of the label shows the SAE viscosity grade such as SAE 5W30. EnergyConserving" shown in the lower portion, indicates that the oil has fuelsaving capabilities.

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

Look at the seethrough coolant reser- voir when the engine is cold. The cool- ant level is satisfactory if it is between

the FULL" and LOW" lines on the reservoir. If the level is low, have your Toyota dealer add ethyleneglycol type

coolant for proper corrosion protection of aluminum components.

The coolant level in the reservoir will vary

with engine temperature. However, if the level is on or below the LOW" line, you should have your Toyota dealer add cool-

ant.

Always use ethyleneglycol type coolant

for a proper corrosion protection of alumi- num components. See information in the next column.

If the coolant level drops within a short time after replenishing, there may be a

leak in the system. Visually check the radiator, hoses, drain cock and water pump.

If you can find no leak, have your Toyota dealer test the cap pressure and check for leaks in the cooling system.

Checking the engine coolant level

CAUTION

To prevent burning yourself, do not

remove the coolant reservoir cap or air release valve when the engine is hot.

Coolant type selection

Use of improper coolants may damage your engine cooling system. Your coolant

must contain ethyleneglycol type coolant for a proper corrosion protection of your engine that contains aluminum compo-

nents. Use TOYOTA Long Life Coolant" or equivalent.

In addition to preventing freezing and sub- sequent damage to the engine, this type of coolant will also prevent corrosion. Fur-

ther supplemental inhibitors or additives are neither needed nor recommended.

Read the coolant container for information

on freeze protection. Follow the manufac- turers directions for how much to mix with plain water (preferably demineralized

water or distilled water). The total capacity of the cooling system is given in Section 8.

We recommend to use 50% solution for your Toyota, to provide protection down to about 35C (31F). When it is extreme-

ly cold, to provide protection down to about 50C (58F), 60% solution is rec- ommended. Do not use more than 70%

solution for better coolant performance.

NOTICE

Do not use alcohol type antifreeze or

plain water alone.

Checking brake fluid

To check the fluid level, simply look at the seethrough reservoir. The level should be between the MAX" and MIN" lines on the reservoir.

It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear. So be sure to keep the reservoir filled.

If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious mechanical prob-

lem.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

1972001 CELICA (20766U)

If the level is low, add SAE J1703 or FMVSS No.116 DOT 3 brake fluid to the brake reservoir.

Remove and replace the reservoir cap by hand. Fill the brake fluid to the dotted

line. This brings the fluid to the correct level when you put the cap back on.

Use only newly opened brake fluid. Once

opened, brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, and excess moisture can cause a dangerous loss of braking.

CAUTION

Take care when filling the reservoir

because brake fluid can harm your eyes and damage painted surfaces. If fluid gets in your eyes, flush your

eyes with clean water immediately. If you still feel uncomfortable with your eyes, go to the doctor.

NOTICE

If you spill the fluid, be sure to wash

it off with water to prevent it from damaging the parts or paint.

If hot O.K.

Check the fluid level through the reser- voir. If necessary, add automatic trans- mission fluid DEXRONII or III.

If the vehicle has been driven around 80

km/h (50 mph) for 20 minutes (a little more in frigid temperatures), the fluid is hot (60C80C or 140F175F). You

may also check the level when the fluid is cold (about room temperature, 10C30C or 50F85F) if the engine

has not been run for about five hours.

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

range. Similarly, if it is hot, the fluid level should be in the HOT" range. If the level is at the low side of either range, add

automatic transmission fluid DEXRONII or 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 reser- voir cap, visually check the steering box

case, vane pump and hose connections for leaks or damage.

CAUTION

The reservoir tank may be hot so be

careful not to burn yourself.

NOTICE

Avoid overfilling, or the power steer-

ing could be damaged.

Checking tire pressure

Keep your tire pressures at the proper level.

The recommended cold tire pressures, tire size and the vehicle capacity weight are given in Section 8. They are also on the

tire pressure label as shown.

You should check the tire pressures every two weeks, or at least once a month. And

do not forget the spare!

Incorrect tire pressure can reduce tire life and make your vehicle less safe to drive.

Low tire pressure results in excessive wear, poor handling, reduced fuel econo- my, and the possibility of blowouts from

overheated tires. Also, low tire pressure can cause poor sealing of the tire bead. If the tire pressure is excessively low,

there is the possibility of wheel deforma- tion and/or tire separation.

High tire pressure produces a harsh ride, handling problems, excessive wear at the center of the tire tread, and a greater

possibility of tire damage from road haz- ards.

If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it

checked by your Toyota dealer.

The following instructions for checking

tire pressure should be observed:

The pressure should be checked only

when the tires are cold. If your ve- hicle has been packed for at least 3 hours and has not been driven for

more than 1.5 km or 1 mile since, you will get an accurate cold tire pressure reading.

Always use a tire pressure gauge. The appearance of a tire can be mis- leading. Besides, tire pressures that

are even just a few pounds off can degrade ride and handling.

Take special care when adding air to

the compact spare tire. The smaller tire size can gain pressure very quick- ly. Add compressed air in small quanti-

ties and check the pressure often until it reaches the specified pressure.

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

Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight. The passenger and luggage weight should be located so that the

vehicle is balanced.

Be sure to reinstall the tire inflation

valve caps. Without the valve caps, dirt or moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If the caps

have been lost, have new ones put on as soon as possible.

Checking and replacing tires

Tread wear indicator

CHECKING YOUR TIRES

Check the tire tread for the tread wear

indicators. If the indicators show, re- place the tires.

The tires on your Toyota have builtin

tread wear indicators to help you know when the tires need replacement. When the tread depth wears to 1.6 mm (0.06

in.) or less, the indicators will appear. If you can see the indicators in two or more adjacent grooves, the tire should be re-

placed. The lower the tread, the higher the risk of skidding.

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

Check the tires regularly for damage such as cuts, splits and cracks. If any damage 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 examine the damage. Objects which have pene- trated the tire may have caused internal

damage.

Any tires which are over 6 years old

must be checked by a qualified techni- cian even if damage is not obvious.

Tires deteriorate with age even if they

have never or seldom been used.

This also applies to the spare tire and

tires stored for future use.

REPLACING YOUR TIRES

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

er load capacity.

Using any other size or type of tire may

seriously affect handling, ride, speedome- ter/odometer calibration, ground clearance, and clearance between the body and tires

or snow chains.

CAUTION

Do not mix radial, bias belted, or

biasply tires on your vehicle. It can cause dangerous handling char- acteristics, resulting in loss of con-

trol.

Do not use tires or wheels other than the manufacturers recom-

mended size.

Toyota recommends all four tires, or at least both front or rear tires be re-

placed as a set.

See If you have a flat tire" in Section 4

for tire change procedure.

When a tire is replaced, the wheel should always be balanced.

An unbalanced wheel may affect vehicle handling and tire life. Wheels can get out

of balance with regular use and should therefore be balanced occasionally.

When replacing a tubeless tire, the air valve should also be replaced with a new one.

Rotating tires

Turning direction

Turning direction indicator (type A)

Turning direction

Turning direction indicator (type B)

If a turning indicator is marked on your tires, you have unidirectional tires. Be- fore rotating, check whether your tires

are unidirectional before rotating them. Using tires on the wrong side of the vehicle will impair tire performance.

See the following instructions for how to rotate your tires correctly.

With unidirectional tires

Without unidirectional tires

as the installed tires)

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

2012001 CELICA (20766U)

Without unidirectional tires

(with a spare tire of different wheel type

from the installed tires)

To equalize the wear and help extend tire life, Toyota recommends that you rotate your tires according to the main-

tenance schedule. (For scheduled main- tenance information, please refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide" or

Owners Manual Supplement".) Howev- er, the most appropriate timing for tire rotation may vary according to your

driving habits and road surface condi- tions.

See If you have a flat tire" in Section 4

for tire change procedure.

When rotating tires, check for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usu- ally caused by incorrect tire pressure, im-

proper wheel alignment, outofbalance wheels, or severe braking.

CAUTION

Do not include a compact spare tire

when rotating the tires. It is designed for temporary use only.

WHEN TO USE SNOW TIRES OR CHAINS

Snow tires or chains are recommended when driving on snow or ice.

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

SNOW TIRE SELECTION

If you need snow tires, select the same

size, construction and load capacity as the original tires on your Toyota.

Do not use tires other than those men- tioned above. Do not install studded tires without first checking local regulations for

possible restrictions.

SNOW TIRE INSTALLATION

Snow tires should be installed on all wheels.

Installing snow tires on the front wheels

only can lead to an excessive difference in road grip capability between the front

and rear tires which could cause loss of vehicle control.

When storing removed tires, you should

store them in a cool dry place.

Mark the direction of rotation and be sure

to install them in the same direction when replacing.

Installing snow tires and chains

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

202 2001 CELICA (20766U)

CAUTION

Do not drive with the snow tires

incorrectly inflated.

Never drive over 120 km/h (75 mph) with any type of snow tires.

TIRE CHAIN SELECTION

Use the tire chains of correct size and type.

Use SAE Class S" type radial tire chains

except radial cable chains or Vbar type chains.

Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary according to location or type of road, so always check them

before installing chains.

CHAIN INSTALLATION

Install the chains on the front tires as tightly as possible. Do not use tire chains on the rear tires. Retighten

chains after driving 0.51.0 km (1/41/2 mile).

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

If wheel covers are used, they will be scratched by the chain band, so remove the covers before putting on the chains.

CAUTION

Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) or

the chain manufacturers recom- mended speed limit, whichever is lower.

Drive carefully avoiding bumps, holes, and sharp turns, which may cause the vehicle to bounce.

Avoid sharp turns or lockedwheel braking, as use of chains may ad-

versely affect vehicle handling.

When driving with chains installed, be sure to drive carefully. Slow

down before entering the curves to avoid losing control of the vehicle.

Otherwise an accident may occur.

NOTICE

Do not attempt to use a tire chain on

the compact spare tire, as it may re- sult in damage to the vehicle as well as the tire.

Replacing wheels

WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR WHEELS

If you have wheel damage such as bending, cracks or heavy corrosion, the wheel should be replaced.

If you fail to replace damaged wheels, the tire may slip off the wheel or cause loss of handling control.

WHEEL SELECTION

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

This must be observed on compact spare tires, too.

Correct replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer.

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

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

2032001 CELICA (20766U)

Replacement with used wheels is not rec- ommended as they may have been sub- jected to rough treatment or high mileage and could fail without warning. Also, bent wheels which have been straightened may have structural damage and therefore should not be used. Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire.

Aluminum wheel precautions

When installing aluminum wheels,

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

If you have rotated, repaired, or changed your tires, check that the wheel nuts are still tight after driving

1600 km (1000 miles).

When using tire chains, be careful not

to damage the aluminum wheels.

Use only the Toyota wheel nuts and wrench designed for your aluminum

wheels.

When balancing your wheels, use only

Toyota balance weights or equivalent and a plastic or rubber hammer.

As with any wheel, periodically check your aluminum wheels for damage. If damaged, replace immediately.

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

See Fuse locations" in Section 71 for locations of the fuses.

Turn the ignition switch and inoperative component off. Pull a suspected fuse straight out and check it.

Determine which fuse may be causing the problem. The lid of the fuse box shows the name of the circuit for each fuse. See Section 8 of this manual for the functions controlled by each circuit.

Type A fuses can be pulled out by the pullout tool. The location of the pullout tool is shown in the illustration.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

2092001 CELICA (20766U)

If you are not sure whether the fuse has blown, try replacing the suspected fuse with one that you know is good.

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

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

If you do not have a spare fuse, in an emergency you can pull out the RADIO", CIG" or HTR" fuse, which may be dis- pensable for normal driving, and use it if its amperage rating is the same.

If you cannot use one of the same amper- age, use one that is lower, but as close as possible to the rating. If the amperage is lower than that specified, the fuse might blow out again but this does not indicate anything wrong. Be sure to get the correct fuse as soon as possible and return the substitute to its original clip.

It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep them in your 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 as soon as possible.

CAUTION

Never use a fuse with a higher am-

perage rating, or any other object, in place of a fuse. This may cause ex- tensive damage and possibly a fire.

Adding washer fluid

If any washer does not work, the wash- er tank may be empty. Check the wash- er fluid level on the level gauge. If the washer fluid level is below LOW", add washer fluid.

You may use plain water as washer fluid. However, in cold areas where tempera- tures range below freezing point, use washer fluid containing antifreeze. This product is available at your Toyota dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow the manufacturers directions for how much to mix with water.

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

210 2001 CELICA (20766U)

NOTICE

Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute because it may dam- age your vehicles paint.

Replacing light bulbs

The following illustrations show how to gain access to the bulbs. When replacing a bulb, make sure the ignition switch and light switch are off. Use bulbs with the wattage ratings given in the table.

CAUTION

Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas

inside and require special handling. They can burst or shatter if scratched or dropped. Hold a bulb only by its

plastic or metal case. Do not touch the glass part of a bulb with bare hands.

The inside of the lens of exterior lights such as headlights may temporarily fog up when the lens becomes wet in the rain or

in a car wash. This is not a problem because the fogging is caused by the temperature difference between the outside

and inside of the lens, just like the windshield fogged up in the rain. However, if there is a large drop of water on the

inside of the lens, or if there is water pooled inside the light, contact your Toyota dealer.

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a

crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately in- form the National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (Tollfree: 18003314331).

If NHTSA receives similar com-

plaints, it may open an investiga- tion, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of ve-

hicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between

you, your dealer, or Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

To contact NHTSA, you may ei- ther call the Auto Safety Hotline

tollfree at 18004249393 (or 3660123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S.

Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hot-

line.

Uniform tire quality grading

This information has been prepared in ac- cordance with regulations issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis-

tration of the U.S. Department of Trans- portation. It provides the purchasers and/ or prospective purchasers of Toyota

vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading.

Your Toyota dealer will help answer any

questions you may have as you read this information.

DOT quality gradesAll passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these

grades. 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

Reporting safety defects for U.S. owners

01MY CELICA U (L/O 0008)

2312001 CELICA (20766U)

TreadwearThe treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled

conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 1/2) times

as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual condi-

tions of their use, however, and may de- part significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service prac-

tices and differences in road characteris- tics and climate.

Traction AA, A, B, CThe traction

grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, and they represent the tires ability to stop on wet pavement as mea-

sured under controlled conditions on spe- cified 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 (straighta- head) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.

Temperature A, B, CThe 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 de- generate and reduce tire life, and exces-

sive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a lev- el of performance which all passenger car

tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of perfor-

mance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

Warning: The temperature grades for this

tire are established for a tire that is prop- erly inflated and not overloaded. Exces-

sive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combina- tion, can cause heat buildup and possible

tire failure.
