Important information about your Toyota

Occupant restraint systems

Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to read Section 13 of this Owners Manual carefully. In terms of helping you understand how you can receive the maximum benefit of the occupant restraint systems this vehicle provides, Section 13 of this Owners Manual is the most important Section for you and your family to read.

Section 13 describes the function and operation concern- ing seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraint sys- tems of this vehicle and some potential hazards you should be aware of. These systems work together along with the overall structure of this vehicle in order to provide occupant restraint in the event of a crash. The effect of each system is enhanced when it is used properly and together with other systems. No single occupant restraint system can, by itself, provide you or your family with the equal level of restraint which these systems can provide when used together. That is why it is important for you and your family to understand the purpose and proper use of each of these systems and how they relate to each other.

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

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

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

iv

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS air- bags makes the SRS airbags themselves potential sources of serious injury if an occupant is too close to an airbag, or if an object or some part of his or her body has been placed between the occupant and the airbag at the time of deployment. This is just one example of how the instruc- tions in Section 13 of this Owners Manual will help en- sure proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and increase the safety they can provide to you and your fami- ly in the event of an accident.

Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section 13 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time of ownership of this vehicle.

New vehicle warranty

CAUTION

To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the following.

Before you close the power win- dows, always make sure there is nobody around the power windows. You must also make sure the heads, hands and other parts of the bodies of all occupants are kept completely inside the vehicle. If someones neck, head or hands get caught in a closing window, it could result in a serious injury. When anyone closes the power win- dows, make sure he or she oper- ates the windows safely.

When small children are in the ve- hicle, never let them use the power window switches without supervi- sion. Use the window lock switch to prevent them from making unex- pected use of the switches.

Be sure to remove the ignition key when you leave your vehicle.

Never leave anyone (particularly a small child) alone in your vehicle, especially with the ignition key still inserted. Otherwise, he/she could use the power window switches and get trapped in a window. Unat- tended person (particularly a small child) can be involved in a serious accident.

Insert the master key into the keyhole and turn it.

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

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.

Jam protection function: If something gets caught between the moon roof and frame during closing operation, the moon roof stops and opens half way.

If the moon roof receives a strong impact, this function may work even if nothing is caught.

If the battery is disconnected or run down, the moon roof may not operate automatically and the jam protection func- tion will not function correctly after you reconnect, replace or recharge the battery. In any of these cases, you should normal- ize the moon roof.

To normalize the moon roof, 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.

Make sure that the moon roof opens and closes automatically. If the moon roof can- not be operated properly, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

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 heads, hands and other parts of the bodies of all occupants away from the roof opening. Other- wise, they could be seriously in- jured if the vehicle stops suddenly or if the vehicle is involved in an accident.

Before you close the moon roof, always make sure there is nobody around the moon roof. You must also make sure nobody places his or her head, hands and other parts of the body in the roof opening. If someones neck, head or hands get caught in the closing roof, it could result in a serious injury. When anyone closes the moon roof, first make sure it is safe to do so.

Be sure to remove the ignition key when you leave your vehicle.

Never leave anyone (particularly a small child) alone in your vehicle, especially with the ignition key still inserted. Otherwise, he/she could use the moon roof switches and get trapped in the roof opening. Unat- tended person (particularly a small child) can be involved in a serious accident.

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

Never try jamming any part of your body to activate the jam protection function 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 before operating it.

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 any passengers to sit on top of a foldeddown seatback, or in the luggage compartment or car- go area. Persons not properly seated and/or not 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 any passengers to stand up or move around between seats. Otherwise, severe injuries can occur in the event of emergency braking or a collision.

Driver seat

CAUTION

The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises:

Since the risk zone for driver airbag is the first 5075 mm (23 in.) of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag provides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in sever- al ways:

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

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

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

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

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

Front passenger seat

CAUTION

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

Front seats (with SRS side airbags)

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, since the side airbag inflates with consid- erable speed and force. Otherwise, you may be killed or seriously in- jured.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Do not put objects under the seats. Otherwise, the objects may interfere with the seatlock mechanism or unexpectedly push up the seat posi- tion adjusting lever and the seat may suddenly move, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Seat adjustment precautions

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

26

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

While adjusting the seat, do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts. Otherwise, your hands or fingers may be caught and injured.

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

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

Turn the knob either way.

For easy access to the rear seat:

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.

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 Sto- wage precautions in Section 2 for precau- tions when loading luggage.

CAUTION

When returning the seatback to the upright position, observe the follow- ing precautions in order to prevent personal injury in a collision or sud- den stop:

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 the seat belt from operating properly.

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.

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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.

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

Child. Use a child restraint system ap- propriate for the child until the child be- comes large enough to properly wear the vehicles seat belts. See Child restraint in this Section 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 any children 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. Holding a child in your arms does not provide sufficient restraint.

Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Ask your doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be worn securely and as low as possible over the hips and not on the waist.

Injured person. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Depending on the 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 seatback any more than needed. The seat belts provide maximum protection in a frontal or rear collision when the driver and the front passenger are sitting up straight and well back in the seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoulder belt. In the event of a frontal collision, the more the seat is reclined, the great- er the risk of death or personal in- jury.

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- ers, or allow them to come into contact with the beltthey may se- verely 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.

Tab

Buckle

Adjust the seat as needed and sit up straight and well back in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it out of the re- tractor and insert the tab into the buckle.

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

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

The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It also may lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and you can move around freely.

When a 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.

If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly pull the belt and release it. You will then be able to smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor.

CAUTION

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.

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.

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 event. Keep the lap belt positioned as low on hips as possible.

Do not place the shoulder belt un- der your arm.

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

To release the belt, press the buckle release button and allow the belt to retract.

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 it is not in use.

CAUTION

The seat belt must be removed from the tongue holder when the seat belt is in use.

If your seat belts cannot be fastened se- curely because they are not long enough, a personalized seat belt extender is avail- able from your Toyota dealer free of charge.

Please contact your local Toyota dealer to order the proper required length for the extender. Bring the heaviest coat you ex- pect to wear for proper measurement and selection of length. Additional ordering in- formation is available at your Toyota deal- er.

CAUTION

When using the seat belt extender, observe the following precautions. Failure to follow these instructions could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt restraint system in case of an accident, increasing the chance of personal injury.

Remember that the extender pro- vided for you may not be safe when used on a different vehicle, for another person, or at a different seating position than the one origi- nally intended.

Be sure to wear the seat belt with- out the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without the extender.

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

To connect the extender to the seat belt, insert the tab into the seat belt buckle so that the PRESS signs on the buckle release buttons of the 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 buckle release 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.

CAUTION

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

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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

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

The seat belt pretensioners are activated even with no passenger in the front seat.

The seat belt pretensioners and SRS air- bags may not operate together in case of collisions at a certain speeds and angles.

The seat belt pretensioner system con- sists mainly of the following components and their locations are shown in the il- lustration.

1. Front airbag sensors

2. SRS warning light

3. Seat belt pretensioner assemblies

4. Airbag sensor assembly

The seat belt pretensioners are controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sen- sor and airbag sensor.

When the seat belt pretensioners are acti- vated, an operating noise may be heard and a small amount of nontoxic gas may be released. This does not indicate that a fire is occurring. This gas is normally harmless.

Once the seat belt pretensioners have been activated, the seat belt retractors remain locked.

CAUTION

Do not modify, remove, strike or open the seat belt pretensioner assemblies, airbag sensor or surrounding area or wiring. Failure to follow these instruc- tions may prevent the seat belt pre- tensioners from activating correctly, cause sudden operation of the system or disable the system, which could result in death or serious injury. Con- sult your Toyota dealer about any re- pair and modification.

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

The front of the vehicle (shaded in the illustration) was involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the seat belt pretensioners to operate.

Either seat belt pretensioner assembly or surrounding area is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.

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 vehicle interior.

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

Always 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 front airbags are inflated.

SRS driver airbag and front passenger airbag

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

37

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

CAUTION

The SRS front airbag system is de- signed only as a supplement to the primary protection of the driver and front passenger seat belt systems. The driver and front passenger can be killed or seriously injured by the inflating airbags if they do not wear the available seat belts properly. During sudden braking just before a collision, an unrestrained driver or front passenger can move 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 in- structions and precautions concern- ing 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.

The SRS front airbags are designed to deploy in severe (usually frontal) colli- sions where the magnitude and duration of the forward deceleration of the ve- hicle exceeds the designed threshold level.

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.

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.

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 surface

Falling into or jumping over a deep hole

Landing hard or vehicle falling

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

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

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.

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

39

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

The front airbag sensors constantly moni- tor the forward deceleration of the vehicle. If an impact results in a forward decelera- tion beyond the designed threshold level, the system triggers the airbag inflators. At this time a chemical reaction in the infla- tors very quickly fills the airbags with nontoxic gas to help restrain the forward motion of the occupants. The front airbags then quickly deflate, so that there is no obstruction of the drivers vision should it be necessary to continue driving.

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

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

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

CAUTION

The driver or front passenger who is too close to the steering wheel or dashboard during airbag deployment can be killed or seriously injured. Toyota strongly recommends that:

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.

For instructions and precautions con- cerning the seating position, see Front seat precautions in this Section.

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

40

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard when the vehicle is in use, since the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Anyone who is up against, or very close to, an airbag when it inflates, can be killed or seriously injured. Sit up straight and well back in the seat, and always use your seat belt properly.

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

Do not allow a child to stand up or kneel on the front passenger seat, since the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, 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.

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

41

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

Do not put anything or any part of your body on or in front of the dashboard or steering wheel pad that houses the front airbag sys- tem. They might restrict inflation or cause death or serious injury as they are projected rearward by the force of the deploying airbags. Like- wise, the driver and front passenger should not hold objects 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, dashboard near the front passenger airbag, front passenger airbag cover, front passenger airbag or airbag sensor assembly. Doing so may prevent the front airbag system from activating correctly, cause sudden activation of the system or disable the sys- tem, which could result in death or serious injury.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury. Consult your Toyota dealer about any repair and modification.

NOTICE

Do not perform any of the following changes without consulting your Toyota dealer. Such changes can in- terfere with proper operation of the SRS front airbag system in some cases.

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

NOTICE

Do not disconnect the battery cables before contacting your Toyota dealer.

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.

Always 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

The SRS side airbag system is de- signed only as a supplement to the primary protection of the driver and front passenger seat belt systems. To ensure maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all pas- sengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. Wearing a seat belt properly during an acci- dent reduces the chances of death or serious injury or being thrown out of the vehicle. For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system, see Seat belts in this Section.

SRS side airbags

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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 seats of the vehicle and prop- erly restrained. The rear seats are the safest for infants and children. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint sys- tem, see Child restraint in this Section.

Do not allow anyone 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 SRS side airbag deploys even if he/she is a child seated in the child re- straint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbag inflates, and the impact of the deploying airbag could cause death or serious injury to the occupant.

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.

Always wear your seat belts properly.

Collision from the rear

Collision from the front

Vehicle rollover

The SRS side airbags are not generally designed to inflate if the vehicle is in- volved in a front or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low speed side collision.

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

45

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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.

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

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

SRS side airbags inflate with consid- erable force. To reduce the possibility of death or serious injury when they inflate, the driver and front passenger must:

Wear their seat belts properly.

Remain properly seated with their backs upright and against the seats at all times.

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

46

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

Do not allow anyone to lean against the front door when the vehicle is in use, since the side airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, he/she may be killed or be seriously injured. Spe- cial care should be taken especially when you have a small child in the vehicle.

Sit up straight and well back in the seat, distributing your weight evenly in the seat. Do not apply excessive weight to the outer side of the 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 objects in their arms or on their knees.

Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the side air- bags inflate. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from acti- vating correctly, causing death or serious injury.

Do not modify or replace the seats or upholstery of the seats with side airbags. Such changes may prevent the side airbag system from activat- ing correctly, disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate ac- cidentally, resulting in death or seri- ous injury.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury. Consult your Toyota dealer about any repair and modification.

Toyota strongly urges the use of ap- propriate child restraint systems for children.

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

Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819.

If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicles seat belt. See Seat belts in this Section for details.

CAUTION

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

Child restraint Child restraint precautions

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

Toyota strongly urges use of a proper child restraint system which conforms to the size of the child, installed 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 install a rearfacing child re- straint system on the front passen- ger seat. In the event of an acci- dent, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rearfacing child re- straint system is installed on the front passenger seat.

A forwardfacing child restraint sys- tem should be allowed to be installed on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as far back as possible, because the front pas- senger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.

On vehicles with side airbags, do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat from which the side airbags deploy 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.

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

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

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 child restraint system.

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

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

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

The gauge indicates the approximate quantity of fuel remaining in the tank when the ignition switch is on.

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.

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.

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.

2ZZGE engine onlyThe engine will not exceed 7100 rpm before it warms up.

NOTICE

Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone. This may cause severe engine damage.

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

CAUTION

Be careful when downshifting on a slippery surface. Abrupt shifting could cause the vehicle to skid or spin.

(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:

2 124 km/h (77 mph). . . . . . . . . . . L 67 km/h (41 mph). . . . . . . . . . . .

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.

(b) Overdrive switch

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

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

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

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

When you are driving in M mode, over- drive switch does not activate. (For de- tails, see (d) Driving in M mode and (e) Using engine 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. The current gear position is displayed on the instrument cluster.

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

97

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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) 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 (on the back of the steering wheel)

2: Downshift switch (on the face of the steering wheel)

When you push the transmission upshift switch on the rear side 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 side of the steering wheel, the transmission down- shifts from 4 to 3, 2 and then to 1.

The current gear position is displayed on the instrument cluster.

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.

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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) 1 to 2 or 2 to 1 24 (15) 2 to 3 or 3 to 2 40 (25) 3 to 4 or 4 to 3 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:

2 125 km/h (77 mph). . . . . . . . . . . . 1 70 km/h (43 mph). . . . . . . . . . . . .

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:

When you are driving in the D posi- tion, push the overdrive switch. The O/D OFF indicator light will come on and the transmission will downshift to third gear, and engine braking will be obtained. When you are driving in fourth gear (M position), push the transmission downshift switch to select the 3 position. 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 112 km/h (69 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 52 km/h (32 mph), and maximum engine braking will be enabled.

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. 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)

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 skid or spin.

NOTICE

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

Type A

Type B

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.

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 THE SYSTEM ON

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

CAUTION

To avoid accidental cruise control en- gagement, keep the ONOFF button off when not using the cruise control.

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 direc- tion and release it. This sets the vehicle at that speed. If the speed is not satisfac- tory, 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.

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

104

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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 direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain speed.

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

RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED

Push the lever down in the SET direc- tion 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 direction.

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 direction will re- store 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 ONOFF 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.

Type 2: AMFM radio/compact disc player with changer

Type 3: AMFM radio/cassette player/com- pact disc player with changer

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, FM, FM1, FM2, TAPE or DISC to turn on that function without pushing PWRVOL. To turn on the cas- sette or compact disc player, a cassette or compact disc must be loaded in the player.

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 the another function was pre- viously playing, it will come on again.

SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS

Push AM, FM, FM1, FM2, TAPE or DISC if the system is already on but you want to switch from one function to anoth- er.

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 (type 3) and bass levels. In fact, different kinds of music and vocal programs usually sound better with different mixes of treble, midrange and bass.

Balance

A good balance of the left and right stereo channels and of the front and rear sound levels is also important.

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

YOUR RADIO ANTENNA

Power antenna

To lower the power antenna, turn off the audio system by pushing PWRVOL, or turn the ignition key to LOCK.

The antenna automatically retracts when the radio mode is switched off to turn on the cassette tape player or compact disc player.

Manual antenna

To remove the antenna, carefully turn it counterclockwise.

Some models also have onglass antenna printed on the inside of the rear window.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the antenna, make sure it is retracted or re- moved before driving your Toyota through an automatic car wash.

With onglass antennaAttaching the film (especially conductive or metallic type) on the rear glass will noticeably reduce the sensitivity of the radio.

YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER

When you insert a cassette, the exposed tape should face to the right.

NOTICE

Do not oil any part of the player and do not insert anything other than cas- sette tapes into the slot, or the tape player may be damaged.

YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER

When you insert a disc, gently push it in with the label side up. (The player will automatically eject a disc if the label side is down.) The player will play from track 1 through the end of the disc. Then it will play from track 1 again.

NOTICE

Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the compact disc player. Do not insert anything other than com- pact discs into the slot.

The player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.

NOTICE

To ensure correct audio system op- erations:

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 a cellular phone inside or near the vehicle may cause a noise from the speakers of the au- dio system which you are listening to. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.

RADIO RECEPTION

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

For example, nearby buildings and terrain can interfere with FM reception. Power lines or telephone wires can interfere with AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited range. 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

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 cause your compact disc player to 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.

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.

Use only compact discs marked as shown above. The following products may not be playable on your compact disc player.

NOTICE

Do not use special shaped, transpar- ent/translucent, low quality or labeled discs such as those shown in the il- lustrations. The use of such discs may damage the player or changer, or it may be impossible to eject the disc.

Correct Wrong

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

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.

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:

Avoid full throttle acceleration when starting and driving.

Avoid racing the engine.

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 TYPE

Your new vehicle must use only un- leaded 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, occasionally, you may notice light knocking for a short time while accel- erating or driving up hills. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

GASOLINE CONTAINING DETERGENT ADDITIVES

Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to avoid buildup of engine deposits.

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

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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 four 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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

The 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.

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

151

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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.

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.

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.

Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km (1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 Imp. qt./600 miles)

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.

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.

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 increase. Also, the brake system warning light may come on.

CAUTION

Do not drive your vehicle with only a single brake system. Have your brakes fixed immediately.

BRAKE BOOSTER

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!

Iridiumtipped spark plugs Brake system

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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 increase.

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 a manhole cov- er, a steel plate at a construction site, joints in a bridge, etc. on a rainy day tends to activate the antilock brake sys- tem.

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

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.

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

If tire 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 a 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.

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 components moni- tored by the warning light system. Con- tact 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 (2ZZGE engine)

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.

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.

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

The purpose of these labels is to reduce the incidence of vehicle thefts by 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.

CAUTION

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

This information has been prepared in accordance with regulations issued by the National Highway Traffic Safe- ty Administration of the U.S. Depart- ment of Transportation. It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Toyota vehicles with in- formation on uniform tire quality grad- ing. Your Toyota dealer will help answer any questions you may have as you read this information. DOT quality gradesAll passenger vehicle tires must conform to Fed- eral Safety Requirements in addi- tion to these grades. Quality grades can be found where appli- cable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum sec- tion width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

TreadwearThe treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested un- der controlled conditions on a speci- fied government test course. For ex- ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (11/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving hab- its, service practices and differences in road characteristics 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 pave- ment as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor trac- tion performance. Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.

Uniform tire quality grading

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

165

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

Temperature A, B, CThe tempera- ture grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tires resis- tance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C cor- responds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of per- formance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a tire that is properly inflated and not over- loaded. Excessive speed, underinfla- tion, or excessive loading, either sep- arately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

Vehicle load limits include total load capacity, seating capacity, towing ca- pacity and cargo capacity. Follow the load limits shown below. Total load capacity:

329 kg (725 lb.) Total load capacity means com- bined weight of occupants, cargo and luggage. Tongue load is in- cluded when trailer towing.

Seating capacity: Total 4 (Front 2, Rear 2) Seating capacity means the maxi- mum number of occupants whose estimated average weight is 68 kg (150 lb.) per person. Depending on the weight of each person, the seat- ing capacity given may exceed the total load capacity.

NOTICE

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

Towing capacity: 907 kg (2000 lb.) Towing capacity means the maxi- mum gross trailer weight (trailer weight plus its cargo weight) that your vehicle is able to tow.

Cargo capacity Cargo capacity may increase or de- crease depending on the size (weight) and the number of occupants. For de- tails, see Capacity and distribution that follows.

CAUTION

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

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

gage compartment when at all possible. Be sure all items are se- cured in place.

Be careful to keep the vehicle bal- anced. Locating the weight as far forward as possible helps maintain balance.

For better fuel economy, do not carry unneeded weight.

CAUTION

To prevent cargo and luggage from sliding forward during braking, do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the seatbacks. Keep cargo and luggage low, as close to the floor as pos- sible.

Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts properly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer seri- ous bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking or a colli- sion.

Do not place anything on the luggage 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 turning, and im- pair the drivers control of the vehicle. In an accident they may injure the vehicle occu- pants.

Cargo capacity depends on the to- tal weight of the occupants. (Cargo capacity) = (Total load capac- ity) (Total weight of occupants) STEPS FOR DETERMINING CORRECT LOAD LIMIT 1. Locate the statement The com-

bined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds on your vehicles placard.

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

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds.

4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and lug- gage load capacity. For example, if the XXX amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and lug- gage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400750 (5x150)=650 lbs).

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

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

For details about trailer towing, see Trailer towing in Section 3.

Total load capacity

EXAMPLE ON YOUR VEHICLE In case that 2 people with the com- bined weight of 166 kg (366 lb.) are riding in your vehicle with the total load capacity of 329 kg (725 lb.), the available amount of cargo and lug- gage load capacity will be as follows: 329 kg 166 kg = 163 kg (725 lb. 366 lb. = 359 lb.) From this condition, if 2 more passen- gers with the combined weight of 93 kg (205 lb.) get on, the available car- go and luggage load will be reduced as follows:

163 kg 93 kg = 70 kg (359 lb. 205 lb. = 154 lb.) As shown in the above example, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo and luggage load equaling the combined weight of occupants who got on later must be reduced. In other words, if the increase in the number of occupants causes the excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load), you have to reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle. For details about total load capacity, see Vehicle load limits in this Sec- tion.

CAUTION

Even if the total load of occu- pants weight and the cargo load is less than the total load capac- ity, do not apply the load uneven- ly. That may cause not only dam- age to the tire but also deteriora- tion to the steering ability due to unbalance of the vehicle, causing an accident.

Determine what kind of tires your vehicle is originally equipped with. 1. Summer tires Summer tires are highspeed capabil- ity tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snowcovered or icy roads. For driving on snowcovered or icy roads, we recommend using snow tires. If installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires. 2. All season tires All season tires are designed to pro- vide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use all year round.

All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance compared with summer tires in highway driving. The details about how to distinguish summer tires from all season tires are described in this Section.

CAUTION

Do not mix summer and all sea- son tires on your vehicle as this can cause dangerous han- dling characteristics, resulting in loss of control.

Do not use tires other than the manufactures designated tires, and never mix tires or wheels of the sizes different from the originals.

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

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.

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 such as a tire burst.

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

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.

Tips for driving in various conditions

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

176

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

Be careful when accelerating, up- shifting, downshifting or braking on a slippery surface. Sudden accelera- tion or engine braking, could cause the vehicle to skid or spin.

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.

Make sure your coolant is properly pro- tected against freezing.

Only use Toyota Super Long Life Coolant or similar high quality ethylene glycol based nonsilicate, nonamine, nonnitrite, and nonborate coolant with longlife hybrid organic acid technology. (Coolant with longlife hybrid organic acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids.)

See Checking the engine coolant level in Section 72 for details of coolant type selection.

For the U.S.A.Toyota Super Long Life Coolant is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deionized water. This coolant pro- vides protection down to about 35C (31F).

For CanadaToyota Super Long Life Coolant is a mixture of 55% coolant and 45% deionized water. This coolant pro- vides protection down to about 42C (44F).

NOTICE

Do not use plain water alone.

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- erthey 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.

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

NOTICE

Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute because it may dam- age your vehicles paint.

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.

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.

NOTICE

Dinghy towing does not eliminate the 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.

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.

NOTICE

Do not tow your vehicle from the rear. This may cause serious damage to your vehicle.

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.

179

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

CAUTION

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

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.

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

180

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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.

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 and Section 8 for instructions.

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

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

181

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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.

MAINTENANCE

If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load. For this informa- tion, please refer to the scheduled maintenance information in the Sched- uled 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.

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

182

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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.

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.

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

183

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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.

Toyota does not recommend towing a trailer with your rear aero bumper equipped CELICA. It is not designed for trailer towing.

Improving fuel economy 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 17.)

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.

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.

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 fully depressed. Keep the key and accelerator pedal in these positions for 15 seconds and re- lease 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.

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.

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

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

2. If required, remove all the vent plugs from the booster and discharged 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.

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 at your Toyota dealer.

If the first start attempt is not success- ful...

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

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

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

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

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

CAUTION

Be especially careful to prevent erro- neous pedal operation.

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.

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. For the coolant type, see Coolant type selection in Section 72.

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.

1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cau- tiously 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 (auto- matic) or reverse (manual).

4. Have everyone get out of the ve- hicle on the side away from traffic.

5. Read the following instructions thoroughly.

CAUTION

When jacking, be sure to observe the following to reduce the possi- bility of personal injury: Follow jacking instructions. Do not put any part of your

body under the vehicle sup- ported by the jack. Otherwise, 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 wheel diag- onally opposite to the one be- ing changed if necessary.

Make sure to set the jack prop- erly in the jack point. Raising the vehicle with jack improper- ly positioned will damage the vehicle or may allow the ve- hicle 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 someone in the vehicle.

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

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

NOTICE

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

Type A

Type B

Spare tire with turning direction in- dicators (some models) The spare tires with turning direc- tion indicators are directional and intended to be used so that they turn in the same direction as the turning direction indicators. Installing the wheel on the driver side of the vehicle will not affect tire perfor- mance. If the spare tire is used on the driver side of the vehicle, it should be used only temporarily and then re- placed with the correct one.

Compact spare tire The compact spare tire is designed for temporary emergency use only. The compact spare tire is identified by the distinctive wording TEMPORARY USE ONLY molded into the side wall of the tire. 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.

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

193

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

The compact spare tire can be used many times, if necessary. It has tread life of up to 4800 km (3000 miles) de- pending on road conditions and your driving habits. When tread wear indi- cators appear on the tire, replace the tire. See also the tire information in Sec- tion 72 for details on the tread wear indicators and other service informa- tion.

CAUTION

The compact spare tire was de- signed especially for your To- yota. Do not use it on any other vehicle.

Do not use more than one com- pact spare tire at the same time.

The pressure for the compact spare tire must be 420 kPa (4.2 kgf/cm2 or bar, 60 psi).

Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) when driving with the compact spare tire.

Replace the compact spare tire with the standard tire as soon as possible.

Avoid sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration and sharp turns with the compact spare tire.

NOTICE

Your ground clearance is re- duced when the compact spare tire is installed so avoid driving over obstacles and drive slowly on rough, unpaved roads and speed bumps. Also, do not at- tempt to go through an auto- matic car wash as the vehicle may get caught, resulting in damage.

(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. 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 com- mercial tow truck service, tow your ve- hicle carefully in accordance with the instructions given in Emergency tow- ing 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.

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.

Vehicles with an automatic transmis- sion, use only the front towing eyelet when towing your vehicle.

NOTICE

Only use specified towing eyelet; otherwise your vehicle may be dam- aged.

Vehicles with an automatic trans- mission, never tow a vehicle from the rear with four wheels on the ground. This may cause serious damage to the transmission.

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.

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).

SECTION 5

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

Toyota, through the diligent research, de- sign and use of the most advanced technology available, helps prevent corro- sion and provides you with the finest qual- ity vehicle construction. Now, it is up to you. Proper care of your Toyota can help ensure longterm 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 do not dry quickly due to lack of proper ventilation.

The above signifies the necessity to keep your vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean as possible and to repair any 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. 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

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

209

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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 covered with water or snow, your garage may be so damp as to cause corrosion. Even if your garage is heated, a wet vehicle can cor- rode 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 exposed to coal tar, tree sap, bird droppings and carcass of an insect

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

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.

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

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

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 types 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 retracted or removed before driving your Toyota through an automatic car wash.

Waxing your Toyota

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

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

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

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.

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.

Air conditioning control panel, audio panel, instrument panel, console panel, and switches

Use a soft damp cloth for cleaning.

Soak a clean soft cloth in water or 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.

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. If any prob- lems 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.

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

Some states have vehicle emission in- spection programs which include OBD (OnBoard Diagnostics) checks.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

Be extremely cautious when work- ing on the battery. It contains poi- sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.

NOTICE

Remember that battery and ignition cables carry high currents or volt- ages. Be careful of accidentally causing a short circuit.

Add only Toyota Super Long Life Coolant or similar high quality eth- ylene glycol based nonsilicate, nonamine, nonnitrite, and nonbo- rate coolant with longlife hybrid organic acid technology to fill the radiator. Toyota Super Long Life Coolant is a mixture of 50% cool- ant and 50% deionized water (for the U.S.A.) or 55% coolant and 45% deionized water (for Canada).

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.

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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.

Do not raise the vehicle with some- one in the vehicle.

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

NOTICE

Make sure to place the jack correctly, or your vehicle may be damaged.

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

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

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

3. Reinsert the 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 while holding a rag under the end.

NOTICE

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

If the oil level is below or only slightly above the low level, add engine oil of the same type as already in the engine.

Remove the oil filler cap and add engine oil in small quantities at a time, checking the dipstick. We recommend that you use a funnel when adding oil.

The approximate quantity of oil needed to raise the level between low and full on the dipstick is indicated below for reference.

When the level reaches within the correct range, install the filler cap handtight.

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 Insti- tute) designations such as SL. The center portion of the label shows the SAE viscos- ity grade such as SAE 5W30. Energy Conserving shown in the lower portion, indicates that the oil has fuelsaving ca- pabilities.

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

To ensure excellent lubrication perfor- mance for your engine, Toyota Genuine Motor Oil is available, which has been specifically tested and approved for all Toyota engines.

Please contact your Toyota dealer for fur- ther details about Toyota Genuine Motor Oil.

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, add the coolant. (For the coolant type, see Coolant type selection described be- low.)

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.

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.

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.

Only use Toyota Super Long Life Coolant or similar high quality ethylene glycol based nonsilicate, nonamine, nonnitrite, and nonborate coolant with longlife hybrid organic acid technology. (Coolant with longlife hybrid organic acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids.)

For the U.S.A.Toyota Super Long Life Coolant is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deionized water. This coolant pro- vides protection down to about 35C (31F).

For CanadaToyota Super Long Life Coolant is a mixture of 55% coolant and 45% deionized water. This coolant pro- vides protection down to about 42C (44F).

NOTICE

Do not use plain water alone.

Toyota recommends Toyota Super Long Life Coolant, which has been tested to ensure that it will not cause corrosion nor result in malfunction of your engine coolant system with proper usage. Toyota Super Long Life Coolant is formulated with longlife hybrid organic acid technology and has been specifically designed to avoid engine cooling system malfunction on Toyota vehicles.

Please contact your Toyota dealer for further details.

If any of the above parts are extremely dirty or you are not sure of their condi- tion, take your vehicle to a Toyota dealer.

CAUTION

To prevent burning yourself, be care- ful not to touch the radiator or con- denser when the engine is hot.

NOTICE

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

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.

If the level is low, add SAE J1703 or FMVSS No.116 DOT 3 brake fluid to the brake reservoir.

Remove and replace the reservoir cap by hand. Fill the brake fluid to the dotted line. This brings the fluid to the correct level when you put the cap back on.

Use only newly opened brake fluid. Once opened, brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, and excess moisture can cause a dangerous loss of braking.

CAUTION

Take care when filling the reservoir because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the af- fected area with clean water immedi- ately. If you still feel uncomfortable with your hands or 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.

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

Clean all dirt from the outside of the res- ervoir 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.

Keep your tire inflation pressures at the proper level. The recommended cold tire inflation pressures, tire sizes and the com- bined weight of occupants and cargo (vehicle capacity weight) are de- scribed in Section 8. They are also on the tire and loading information la- bel. You should check the tire inflation pressure every two weeks, or at least once a month. And do not forget the spare!

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

The following instructions for checking tire inflation pressure should be observed: The pressure should be

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

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

Take special care when adding air to the compact spare tire. The smaller tire size can gain pressure very quickly. Add com- pressed air in small quantities and check the pressure often until it reaches the specified pressure.

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

Never exceed the vehicle capac- ity weight. Passenger and lug- gage weight should be located so that the vehicle is balanced.

Tire pressure gauge

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE 1. Remove the tire valve cap. 2. Press the tip of the tire pressure

gauge to the tire valve. 3. Read the pressure using the grad-

uations of the gauge. 4. In case the tire inflation pressure

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

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

237

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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

6. Install the tire valve cap. If a gauge and air pump are not avail- able, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION

Be sure to reinstall the tire valve caps. Without the valve caps, dirt or moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If the caps have been lost, have new ones put on as soon as pos- sible.

Incorrect tire inflation pressure may waste fuel, reduce the comfort of driv- ing, reduce tire life and make your ve- hicle less safe to drive. If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it checked by your Toyota deal- er.

CAUTION

Keep your tires properly inflated. Otherwise, the following condi- tions may occur and cause an ac- cident resulting in death or seri- ous injuries. Low tire pressure (underinfla- tion) Excessive wear Uneven wear Poor handling Possibility of blowouts from an

overheated tire Poor sealing of the tire bead Wheel deformation and/or tire

separation A greater possibility of tire

damage from road hazards

High tire pressure (overinfla- tion) Poor handling Excessive wear Uneven wear A greater possibility of tire

damage from road hazards

Tread wear indicator

CHECKING YOUR TIRES Check the tires tread for tread wear indicators. If the indicators show, replace the tires. The loca- tion of tread wear indicators is shown by the TWI or marks, etc., molded on the sidewall of each tire.

The tires on your Toyota have builtin tread wear indicators to help you know when the tires need replace- ment. When the tread depth wears to 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) or less, the indica- tors will appear. If you can see the indicators in two or more adjacent grooves, the tire should be replaced. The lower the tread, the higher the risk of skidding. Vehicles equipped with 205/50R16 tires: Your Toyota has been fitted with specially developed tires which pro- vide exceptional dynamic perfor- mance under general road conditions. However your riding comfort may worsen a little and road noise may in- crease during driving. You may also notice that your tires will wear more rapidly and tire grip performance will be reduced on the snowy and/or icy roads when compared to standard tires. Be sure to have snow tires or tire chains on the snowy and/or icy roads and drive carefully with the speed appropriate for road conditions.

NOTICE

Low profile tire like 205/50R16 may have greater damage than usual tires to its tire wheel when receiving impact from the road surface. Therefore, pay attention to the following. Be sure to use with proper

tire pressure. If the tire pres- sure is low, the tire may have a greater damage. For detailed information about tire pressure, see Section 8.

Avoid driving onto high, sharpedged objects and oth- er road hazards. Failure to do so can lead to severe tire damage.

Checking and replacing tires

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

239

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

The effectiveness of snow tires is lost if the tread wears down below 4 mm (0.16 in.). If you have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose the fabric, or bulges indi- cating internal damage, the tire should be replaced. If a tire often goes flat or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage, it should be replaced. If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer. If air loss occurs while driving, do not continue driving. Driving even a short distance can damage a tire beyond repair.

Any tires which are over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if damage is not obvious. Tires deteriorate with age even if they have never or seldom been used. This applies also to the spare tire and tires stored for future use.

REPLACING YOUR TIRES When replacing a tire, use a tire of the same size and construction, and the same or greater maximum load as the originally installed tires. Using any other size or type of tire may seriously affect handling, ride, speedometer/odometer calibration, ground clearance, and clearance be- tween the body and tires or snow chains. Check that the maximum load of the replaced tire is greater than 1/2 of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle or the rear axle, whichever is greater. As for the maximum load of the tire, see the load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure mentioned on the sidewall of the tire, and as for the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR), see the Cer- tification Label. For details about the side wall of the tire and the Certification Label.

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

CAUTION

Observe the following instruc- tions. Otherwise, an accident may occur resulting in death or serious injuries. Do not mix radial, bias belted,

or biasply tires on your ve- hicle, as this may cause dan- gerous handling characteris- tics resulting in loss of control.

Do not use tires other than the manufacturers recommended size, as this may cause danger- ous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control.

Toyota recommends all four tires, or at least both of the front or rear tires be replaced at a time as a set. See If you have a flat tire in Section 4 for tire change procedure. When a tire is replaced, the wheel should always be balanced. An unbalanced wheel may affect ve- hicle 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.

Turning direction

Type A

Type B

Vehicles equipped with directional tires: You have directional tires, and a turning indicator marked on the side wall. Before rotating, check whether your tires are direc- tional before rotating them. Using tires on the wrong side of the ve- hicle will impair tire performance. See the following instructions for how to rotate your tires correctly.

Rotating tires

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

Without directional tires (with a spare tire of the same wheel type as the installed tires)

Others

To equalize the wear and help ex- tend tire life, Toyota recommends that you rotate your tires accord- ing to the maintenance schedule. (For scheduled maintenance infor- mation, please refer to the Sched- uled Maintenance Guide or Own- ers Manual Supplement.) However, the most appropriate tim- ing for tire rotation may vary ac- cording to your driving habits and road surface conditions.

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 usually caused by incorrect tire pres- sure, improper wheel alignment, out ofbalance 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 tires of the same size, construction and load capacity as the originally installed tires.

Do not use tires other than those men- tioned above. Do not install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restrictions.

CAUTION

Do not use snow tires other than the manufacturers recommended size, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control. Otherwise, an accident may occur resulting in death or serious injuries.

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.

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 local reg- ulations 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.

Installing snow tires and chains

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

243

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

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 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.

WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR WHEELS

If you have wheel damage such as bending, cracks or heavy corrosion, the wheel should be replaced.

If you fail to replace a damaged wheel, the tire may slip off the wheel or cause loss of handling control.

WHEEL SELECTION

When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that the wheels are 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.

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.

CAUTION

Do not use wheels other than the manufacturers recommended size, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control. Otherwise, an accident may occur resulting in death or serious injuries.

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 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 the suspected fuse straight out and check it.

Determine which fuse may be causing the problem. The lid of the fuse box shows the name of the circuit for each fuse. See Section 8 for the functions controlled by each circuit.

Checking and replacing fuses

05MY CELICA U (L/O 0409)

249

2005 CELICA from Sep. 04 Prod. (OM20888U)

Type A fuses can be pulled out by the pullout tool. The location of the pullout tool is shown in the illustration.

If you are not sure whether the fuse has blown, try replacing the suspected fuse with one that you know is good.

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

Only install a fuse with the amperage 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 to the rating as possible. If the amperage is lower than that specified, the fuse might blow out again but this does not indicate anything wrong. Be sure to get the correct fuse as soon as possible and return the substitute to its original clip.

It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep them in your 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.

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 the 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.

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

To prevent burning yourself, do not replace the light bulbs while they are hot.

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.

Vehicles with discharge headlights

Do not touch the high voltage sock- et when the headlight turns on. 20000 V is momentarily generated and may cause severe injury by electric shock.

Do not disassemble, repair or take apart the headlight bulbs, connec- tor, power supply circuits and ro- tated components. Or you may be injured by electric shocks. Call your dealer when the headlights fail to work or have to be replaced or dis- posed of.

The inside of the lens of exterior lights such as headlights may temporarily fog up when the lens becomes wet in the rain or in a car wash. This is not a problem because the fogging is caused by the temperature difference between the outside and inside of the lens, just like the windshield fogs up in the rain. However, if there is a large drop of water on the inside of the lens, or if there is water pooled inside the light, contact your Toyota dealer.

NOTICE

Only use a bulb of the listed type.
