Head restraints


For your safety, adjust the head re- straint before driving. To raise: Pull it up. To lower: Push it down while pressing the lock release button. You can also move the head restraint for- ward or backward, pull or push the head restraint. The head restraining is most effective when it is close to your head. Therefore, using a cushion on the seatback is not rec- ommended.


Seat heaters


CAUTION


(cid:1) Adjust the top of the head restraint so that it is closest to the top of your ears.


(cid:1) After adjusting the head restraint, make sure it is locked in position. (cid:1) Do not drive with the restraints re-


moved.


To turn on the seat heater, push the switch. The key must be in the “ON” position. Pushing on the opposite side will turn it off.


CAUTION


Occupants must use caution when operating the seat heater because it may make them feel too hot or cause burns at low temperatures (erythe- ma, varicella). Use extra caution for; (cid:1) Baby, small child, elderly person, sick person or handicapped per- son


(cid:1) Persons who have delicate skin (cid:1) Persons who are exhausted (cid:1) Persons who have taken alcohol or drugs which induce sleep (sleep- ing drug, cold remedy, etc.)


To prevent the seat overheating, do not use the seat heater with a blan- ket, cushion, or other insulating ob- jects which cover the seat.

NOTICE


(cid:2)Do not put unevenly weighed ob- jects on the seat and do not stick sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.) into the seat.


(cid:2)When cleaning the seats, do not use organic substances (paint thinner, benzine, alcohol, gaso- line, etc.). They may damage the heater and seat surface.


(cid:2)To prevent the battery from being discharge, turn the switch on when the engine is running.


Seat belts— —Seat belt precautions Toyota strongly urges that the driver and passengers in the vehicle be properly re- strained at all times with the seat belts provided. Failure to do so could increase the chance of injury and/or the severity of injury in accidents. Child. Use a child restraint system ap- propriate for the child until the child be- comes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belts. See “Child restraint” for details. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s 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 acci- dent occurs and the seat belts are not worn properly, the force of the rapid infla- tion of the airbag may cause serious injury to the child.


Do not allow the child to stand up or kneel on either rear or front seats. An unre- strained child could suffer serious injury during emergency braking or a collision. Also, do not let the child sit on your lap. It does not provide sufficient restraint. If the shoulder belt falls across the child’s neck or face, have the child sit slightly closer to the buckle side or the seat so that the belt lays across the shoulder. 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.

CAUTION


Persons should ride in their seats properly wearing their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving. Otherwise, they are much more like- ly to suffer serious bodily injury in the event of sudden braking or a col- lision. When using the seat belts, observe the following: (cid:1) Use the belt for only one person at a time. Do not use a single belt for two or more people—even chil- dren.


(cid:1) Avoid reclining the seatbacks too much. The seat belts provide maxi- mum protection when the seat- backs are in the upright position. (Refer to the seat adjustment in- structions.)


(cid:1) 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. (cid:1) Inspect the belt system periodical- ly. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Damaged parts should be replaced. Do not disassemble or modify the system


(cid:1) 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—they may severely weaken the belts.


(cid:1) Replace the belt assembly (includ- ing bolts) if it has been used in a se- vere impact. The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious.


(cid:1) Front passenger’s seat only (ex- cept the center position of bench front seat)-Replace the belt if the warning label under the sleeve can be seen. The warning label, “RE- PLACE BELT”, will appear if the belt receives a severe impact or other force.


29


—Front and rear seat belts (3-point type)


Adjust the seat as needed (front seats only) and sit up straight and well back in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the tab into the buckle. You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle. The seat belt length automatically adjusts to your size and the seat position. The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It also may lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and you can move around freely.


30


If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly pull the belt and release it. You will then be able to smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor. When a passenger’s shoulder belt is com- pletely extended and is then retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that posi- tion and cannot be extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system securely. (For details, see “Child restraint” in this chapter.) To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more.


CAUTION


(cid:1) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the belt is not twisted.


(cid:1) Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.


(cid:1) If the seat belt does not function normally, immediately contact your Toyota dealer. Do not use the seat until the seat belt is fixed. It cannot protect an adult occupant or your child from injury.


Seat belts with an adjustable shoulder anchor— Adjust the shoulder anchor position to your size. To raise: Slide the anchor up. To lower: Push in the lock release button and slide the anchor down. After adjustment make sure the anchor is locked in position.


CAUTION


Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an accident and cause severe injures in a collision.


Adjust the position of the lap and shoulder belts Position the lap belt as low as possible on your hips—not your waist, then adjust it to a snug fit by pulling the shoulder portion upward through the latch plate.


CAUTION


(cid:1) High-positioned


lap belts and loose-fitting belts both could cause severe injuries due to slid- ing under the lap belt during a colli- sion. Keep the lap belt positioned as low on hips as possible.


(cid:1) For your safety, do not place the


shoulder belt under your arm.


31


—Front center seat belt (2-point type)


CAUTION


(cid:1) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the belt is not twisted.


(cid:1) Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.


(cid:1) If the seat belt does not function normally, immediately contact your Toyota dealer. Do not use the seat until the seat belt is fixed. It cannot protect an adult occupant or your child from injury.


To release the belt, press the buckle- release button and allow the belt to re- tract. If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check for kinks or twists. Then make sure it remains untwisted as it re- tracts.


Sit up straight and well back in the seat. To fasten your belt, insert the tab into the buckle. You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle. If the belt is not long enough for you, hold the tab at a right angle to the belt and pull on the tab.


32


—Stowing the front center seat belt


To release the belt, press the buckle- release button.


The front center seat belts can be stowed when not in use.


Remove excess length of the belt and adjust the belt position. To shorten the belt, pull the free end of the belt. Position the lap belt as low as possible on you hips-not on your waist, then adjust it to a snug fit.


CAUTION


High-positioned and loose-fitting lap belt could cause severe injuries due to sliding under the lap belt dur- ing a collision. Keep the lap belt positioned as low on hips as pos- sible.


33


(cid:1) Remember that the extender pro- vided for your may not be safe when used on a different vehicle, or for another person or at a differ- ent seating position than the one originally intended for.


—Seat belt extender If your seat belt cannot be fastened se- curely because it is not long enough, a personalized seatbelt extender is avail- able from your Toyota dealer free of charge. Please contact your local Toyota dealer so that the dealer can order the proper re- quired length for the extender. Bring the heaviest coat you expect to wear for prop- er measurement and selection of length. Additional ordering information is avail- able at your Toyota dealer.


CAUTION


When using the seat belt extender, observe the following. Failure to fol- low these instructions could result in less effectiveness of the seat belt restraint system in case of vehicle accident, increasing the chance of personal injury. (cid:1) Never use the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt with- out it.


34


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.


SRS airbags


CAUTION


(cid:1) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the seat belt extender is not twisted.


(cid:1) Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.


(cid:1) If the seat belt does not function immediately contact


normally, your Toyota dealer.


In response to a severe frontal impact, the SRS airbags work together with the seat belts to help preventing or reduce injury by inflating, in order to decrease the likeli- hood of the driver’s or front passenger’s head or chest directly hitting the steering wheel or dashboard. The passenger air- bag is activated even with no passenger in the front seat.


The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys- tem) airbags are designed to provide further protection to occupants in the following seats when added to the pri- mary protection provided by the seat belts. (cid:1) Vehicles with separate front seats- The SRS airbags are designed to pro- tect the driver and front passenger.


(cid:1) Vehicles with bench front seats-The SRS airbags are designed to protect the driver and right-front passenger. They are not designed to protect occu- pant in the center position.


35


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 im- pact, or if it is involved in an underride col- lision (e.g. a collision in which the noise of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck). It is possible with collision severity at the marginal level of airbag sensor detection and activation that only one of your ve- hicle’s two airbags will deploy. For the safety of all occupants, be sure to always wear seat belts.


This indicator comes on when the ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position. It goes off after about 6
seconds. This means the SRS airbags are operating properly. The SRS airbag warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, in- flators, warning light, interconnecting wir- ing and power sources.


The SRS airbag system is designed to activate in response to a severe frontal impact within the shaded area be- tween the arrows in the illustration. The SRS airbags will deploy if the severity of the impact is above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approxi- mate 20 km/h (14 mph) collision when im- pacting 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 airbags may not deploy.


36


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


The SRS airbag system mainly consists of the following components and their locations are shown in the illustration. 1. Steering wheel pad (airbag and inflat-


or)


2. Airbag sensor assembly. 3. SRS airbag warning light. 4. Passenger airbag module (airbag and


inflator)


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


In a severe frontal impact, sensors detect deceleration and the system triggers the airbag inflators. Then a chemical reaction in the inflators momentarily fills the air- bags with non-toxic nitrogen gas to help restrain the forward motion of the occu- pants. When the airbags inflate, they produce a fairly loud noise and release some smoke along with the nitrogen gas. This is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent minor skin irritation. Deployment of the airbags happen 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 swellings. Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, dashboard) may be hot for several minutes, but the airbags them- selves will not be hot. The airbags are de- signed to inflate only once. A crash severe enough to inflate the air- bags may break the windshield as the ve- hicle buckles. In vehicles with a passen- ger airbag the windshield may also be damaged by absorbing some of the force of the inflating airbag.


37


CAUTION


(cid:1) The SRS airbag system is designed only as a supplement to the prima- ry protection of the seat belt sys- tems. The front seat occupants are particularly susceptible to injury if they do not wear their seat belts; when sudden braking or a collision occurs, they may be thrown for- ward. To obtain maximum protec- tion in an accident, the driver and all passengers the vehicle should always wear their seat belts when driving because serious in- juries can result to unrestrained occupants. For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” in this chapter.


in


(cid:1) A baby or small child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured in a rear seat us- ing a child restraint system.


38


(cid:1) Never use a rear-facing child re- straint system in the front seat be- cause the force of the rapid infla- tion of the passenger airbag can cause severe injury to the child.


(cid:1) Only when it is unavoidable should forward-facing child restraint system be used on the front seat. Always move the seat as far back as possible because the force of de- ploying airbag would cause seri- ous injury to the child. For instruc- tions concerning the installation of the child restraint system, see “Child restraint” in this chapter.


(cid:1) Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean over the dashboard when the vehicle is in use. The airbags inflate with considerable speed and force; you may be severely in- jured. Sit up straight and well back in the seat, and always use your seat belt.


(cid:1) Do not allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on the front passenger seat. The airbag inflates with con- siderable speed and force; the child may be severely injured.


(cid:1) Do not hold a child on your lap or in your arms. Use a child restraint system in the rear seat. For in- structions concerning the installa- tion of a child restraint system, see “Child restraint” in this chapter.


(cid:1) Do not put objects on or in front of the dashboard or steering wheel pad that houses the airbag sys- tem. They might restrict inflation or cause serious injury as they are projected rearward.


39


(cid:1) Do not modify, remove or open any components or wiring, such as the steering wheel column cover, front passenger airbag cover, front pas- senger airbag, airbag sensor as- sembly. Doing any of these may cause sudden SRS airbag inflation or disable the system, which could result in personal injury.


Failure to follow these instructions can result serious injuries.


NOTICE


Do not perform any of the following changes without consulting your Toyota dealer. Such changes can interfere with proper operation of the SRS airbag system in some cases. (cid:2)Installation of electronic items such as a mobile two-way radio, cassette tape player or compact disc player


(cid:2)Modification of the suspension


system

Child restraint— —Child restraint precautions Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems for children small enough to use them. The laws of all fifty states in the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of a child restraint system. Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt. See “Seat belts” for details.


CAUTION


(cid:1) For effective protection in automo- bile accidents and sudden stops, children must be properly re- strained 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 substi- tute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s in- terior.


In the following cases, contact your Toyo- ta dealer as soon as possible: (cid:1) The SRS airbags have been inflated. (cid:1) The front part of the vehicle (shaded in the illustration) was involved in an ac- cident not of the extent to cause the SRS airbags to inflate


(cid:1) The pad section of the steering wheel or front passenger airbag cover (shaded in the illustration) is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.


(cid:1) Toyota strongly urges use of a proper child restraint system which conforms to the size of the child and is put on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly re- strained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

—Child restraint system A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with either the lap belt or the lap portion of the lap/ shoulder belt. You must carefully con- sult the manufacturer’s instructions which accompany your child restraint system. To provide proper restraint, use a child re- straint system following the manufactur- er’s instructions about the appropriate age and size of the child for the child re- straint system. Install the child restraint system correctly following the instructions provided by its manufacturer of the system. General di- rections are also provided under the fol- lowing illustrations. The child restraint system should be installed on the rear seat. According to ac- cident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.


42


CAUTION


(cid:1) Never install a rear-facing child re- straint system on the front seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag can cause serious injury if a rear- facing child restraint system is installed on the front seat.


(cid:1) Unless it is unavoidable, do not install a forward-facing child re- straint system on the front seat.


(cid:1) If you must install a forward-fac- ing child restraint system on the front seat, move the seat as far back as possible.


(cid:1) After installing the child restraint system, make sure it is secured in place following the manufactur- er’s instructions. If it is not re- strained securely, it may cause in- jury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or accident.


When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seat belt. This will prevent it injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident. Your vehicle has anchors for securing the top strap of a child restraint system. The anchor nuts are welded beneath the sheet metal to permit installation of an anchor bracket for a child restraint system. To install an anchor bracket, use an 8 mm X 30 mm X 1.25 mm coarse thread metric bolt and 15 mm (0.6 in.) spacer. Note that the bolts accompanying many child re- straint systems are not metric. You can damage the anchor nuts on our vehicle if you force bolts with different thread into the anchor nuts. For instructions about how to install the anchor bracket, see “Top strap anchors and locations.” If your child restraint system does not pro- vide any of the necessary parts, you can purchase the following items from your Toyota dealer. * CRS installation kit


(Part No. 04731-22012)—contains 1
bolt, 3 types of spacers and 1 locking clip.

(cid:1) Tachometer (cid:1) Odometer and two trip meter (cid:1) Thermometer (cid:1) Service reminder indicators and


warning buzzers


Fuel gauge


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.


The gauge works when the ignition switch is on and indicates the approxi- mate quantity of fuel remaining in the tank. Nearly full—Needle at “F” Nearly empty—Needle at “E” It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4
full. This fuel gauge has a non-return type needle which remains at the last indicated position when the ignition switch is turned off. If the level approaches “E” or the low fuel level warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.

NOTICE


(cid:2)Do not remove the thermostat in the engine cooling system as this may cause the engine to overheat. The thermostat is designed to control the flow of coolant to keep the temperature of the engine within the specified operating range.


(cid:2)Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. See “If your vehicle overheats” in Part 4.


tachometer


The indicates engine speed in thousands of rpm (revolu- tions per minute). Use it while driving to select correct shift points and to prevent engine lugging and overrev- ving. Driving with the engine running too fast causes excessive engine wear and poor fuel economy. Remember, in most cases the slower the engine speed, the greater the fuel economy.


NOTICE


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


The gauge indicates the engine cool- ant temperature when the ignition switch is on. The engine operating temperature will vary with changes in weather and engine load. If the needle moves into the red zone, 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: (cid:1) Driving up a long hill on a hot day. (cid:1) Reducing speed or stopping after high


speed driving.

(a) Brake System Warning Light This light has the following functions: Parking brake reminder If this light is on, make sure the parking brake is fully released. The light should go off. Low brake fluid level warning If this light comes on and stays on while you are driving, slowdown and pull off the road. Then stop the vehicle carefully. There may be a problem somewhere in the brake system. Check the fluid level of the see-through reservoir. To make sure the parking brake has not caused the warning light to come on, check to see that the parking brake is fully released. If the brake fluid level is low... At a safe place, test your brakes by start- ing and stopping.


(cid:1)


(cid:1)


If you judge that the brakes still work adequately, drive cautiously to your nearest dealer or shop for repairs. If the brakes are not working, have the vehicle towed in for repairs. (For tow- ing information, see Part 4.)


CAUTION


It is dangerous to continue driving normally when the brake fluid level is low.


If the brake fluid level is correct... Have the warning system checked by your Toyota dealer. (b) Seat Belt Reminder Light and


Buzzer


Once the ignition key is turned to “ON” or “START”, the reminder light and buzzer come on if the driver’s seat belt is not fas- tened. Unless the driver fastens the belt, the light stays on and the buzzer stops af- ter about 4 to 8 seconds. (c) Discharge Warning Light This light warns that the battery is being discharged. If it comes on while you are driving, there is a problem somewhere in the charging system.


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


NOTICE


Do not continue driving if the engine drive belt is broken or loose.


(d) Low Oil Level Warning Light This light warns that the engine oil pres- sure is too low. If it flickers or stays on while you are driv- ing, pull off the road to a safe place and stop the engine immediately. Call a Toyo- ta dealer or qualified repair shop for assis- tance. The light may occasionally flicker when the engine is idling or it may come on brief- ly after a hard stop. There is no cause for concern if it then goes out when the en- gine is accelerated slightly. The light may come on when the oil level is extremely low. It is not designed to indi- cate low oil level, and the oil level must be checked using the level dipstick.


71


NOTICE


Do not drive the vehicle with the warning light on—even for one block. It may ruin the engine.


(e) Malfunction Indicator Lamp This lamp comes on in the following cases. a. The fuel tank is completely empty. (See “Fuel gauge” in Chapter 1-5 for in- structions.) b. The fuel tank cap is not tightened se- curely. (See “Fuel tank cap” in Chapter 1-2 for instructions.) c. There is a problem somewhere in your engine or automatic transmission electrical system. If it comes on while you are driving in case c, have your vehicle checked/repaired by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. (f) Low Fuel Level Warning Light This light comes on when the fuel level in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up the tank as soon as possible.


72

If the light comes on while you are driving, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. The light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position. After about 3 seconds, the light will go off. When the “ABS” warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the brake system operates conventionally but anti-lock brake system is not assisting brake performance so that the wheels can lock-up during sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. (h) Open Door Warning Light This light remains on until all the doors are completely closed. (i) Rear Light Failure Warning Light If this light comes on when the headlight switch is turned on (at the position 1 or position 2), it indicates that one or more of the tail lights are burned out. If it comes on when the brake pedal is de- pressed, one or more stop lights are burned out.


Have defective bulbs replaced as soon as possible. (j) SRS Airbag Warning Light This light will come on when the igni- tion key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position. After about 6 seconds, the light will go off. This means the airbag system is operating properly. The warning light system monitors airbag sensor assembly, inflators, warning light, interconnecting wiring power sources. If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by the warning light system. Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle. (cid:1) The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position or remains on.
