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.

OPERATION OF INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS—


Chapter 1-6
Ignition switch, Transmission and Parking brake (cid:2) Ignition switch with steering lock (cid:2) Automatic transmission (cid:2) Parking brake (cid:2) Cruise control


Ignition switch with steering lock


“START” - Starter motor on. The key will return to the “ON” position when released. For starting tips, see Part 3. “ON” - Engine on and all accessories on. This is the normal driving position. “ACC” - Accessories such as the ra- dio operate, but the engine is off. If you leave the key in the “ACC” or “LOCK” position and open the driver’s door, a buzzer will remind you to remove the key. “LOCK” - Engine is off and the steer- ing wheel is locked. The key can be re- moved only at this position.


You must push in the key to turn the key from “ACC” to the “LOCK” position. On vehicles with an automatic transmission, the selector lever must be put in the “P” position before pushing the key. When starting the engine, the key may seem stuck at the “LOCK” position. To free it, first be sure the key is pushed all the way in, and then rock the steering wheel slightly while turning the key gently.


NOTICE


Do not leave the key in the “ON” position if the engine is not running. The battery will discharge and the ignition could be damaged.


75


Automatic transmission (cid:1) Floor shift type


When the cruise control is being used, even if you downshift the transmission by turning off the overdrive switch, engine braking will not be applied because the cruise control is not cancelled. For ways to decrease the vehicle speed, see “Cruise control” in this chapter. 76


(cid:1) Column shift type


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


77


Your automatic transmission has a shift lock system to minimize the possibility of incorrect operation. This means you can only shift out of “P” position when the brake pedal is depressed (with the ignition switch in “ON” position and the lock re- lease button on the floor shift type trans- mission depressed or the selector lever on the column shift type transmission pulled toward you). (a) Normal Driving 1. Start the engine as instructed in “How to start the engine” in Part 3. The trans- mission must be in “P” or “N”.


2. With your foot holding down the brake


pedal, shift the selector lever to “D”.


In “D” position, the automatic transmis- sion system will select the most suitable gear for running conditions such as nor- mal cruising, hill climbing, hard towing, etc. Always turn the overdrive switch on for better fuel economy and quieter driving. If the engine coolant temperature is low, the transmission will not shift into overdrive gear even with the overdrive switch on.


CAUTION


Never put your foot in the accelera- tor pedal while shifting.


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


(b) Using engine braking To use engine braking, you can downshift the transmission as follows: (cid:2) Turn off the overdrive switch. The “O/D OFF” indicator light will come on and the transmission will downshift to the third gear.


(cid:2) Shift into the “2” position. The trans- mission will downshift to the second gear when the vehicle speed drops down to or lower than 136 km/h (83
mph), and more powerful engine brak- ing will be obtained.


(cid:2) Shift into the “L” position. The trans- mission will downshift to the first gear when the vehicle speed drops down to or lower than 61 km/h (37 mph), and maximum engine braking will be ap- plied.


Vehicles with cruise control—When the cruise control is being used, even if you downshift the transmission by turning off the overdrive switch, engine braking is not applied because the cruise control is not cancelled. For ways to decrease the ve- hicle speed, see “Cruise control” in this chapter.


CAUTION


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


78


(c) 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 the first gear and automatically shift to the second gear. With the selector lever in “L”, the trans- mission is engaged in the first gear.


NOTICE


(cid:3)Be careful not to overrev the en- gine. Watch the tachometer to keep engine rpm from going into the red zone. The approximate maximum allowable speed for each position is given below for your reference: . . . . . . . . . . .


126 km/h (77 mph) 68 km/h (41 mph)


“2” “L”


(cid:3)Do not continue hill climbing or hard towing for a long time in the “2” or “L” position. This may cause severe automatic transmis- sion damage from overheating. To prevent such damage, “D” position should be used in hill climbing or hard towing.


(d) 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 vehicle is moving.


(e) Parking 1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. 2. With the brake pedal pressed down, fully depress the parking brake pedal to apply the parking brake securely.


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


CAUTION


While the vehicle is moving, never attempt to move the selector lever into “P” position under any circum- stances. Serious mechanical dam- age and loss of vehicle control may result.


(f) Good driving practice (cid:2)


If the transmission is repeatedly up- shifted and downshifted between third gear and overdrive when climbing a gentle slope, the overdrive switch should be turned off. Be sure to turn the switch on immediately afterward. (cid:2) When towing a trailer, in order to main- tain engine braking efficiency, do not use overdrive.


79


(i) Driving in “PWR” (Power) mode In the “PWR” mode, the transmission is shifted up and down at a higher vehicle speed than in the “NORM” (Normal) mode and a more powerful acceleration is achieved. To set the “PWR” mode, push in the driving pattern selector button. The “PWR” mode indicator light comes on. For ordinary driving, Toyota recommends using the “NORM” mode to improve fuel economy.


CAUTION


Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.


NOTICE


Do not hold the vehicle on an upgrade with the accelerator pedal. It can cause the transmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.


(g) Rocking your vehicle if stuck


CAUTION


If you rock your vehicle to make it out when it becomes stuck in snow, mud, sand, etc., first check that there is no physical object or people around the vehicle. During opera- tion, the vehicle may suddenly move forward or backward, causing injury or damage to nearby people or objects.


80


NOTICE


If you rock your vehicle, observe the following precautions to prevent damage to the transmission and other parts. (cid:3)Do not depress the accelerator pedal while shifting the selector lever or before the transmission is completely shifted to forward or reverse gear.


(cid:3)Do not race the engine and avoid


spinning the wheels.


(cid:3)If your vehicle remains stuck after rocking the vehicle several times, consider other ways such as tow- ing.


(h) If you cannot shift the selector lever


out of “P” position


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


Parking brake


Type A


Type B


When parking, firmly apply the park- ing brake to avoid inadvertent creep- ing. To set: Fully depress the pedal. For better holding power, first depress the brake pedal and hold it while setting the brake. To release: Pull the lever. To remind you that the parking brake is set, the parking brake reminder light in the instrument panel remains on until you re- lease the parking brake.


CAUTION


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


Cruise control The cruise control allows you to cruise the vehicle at a desired speed over 40
km/h (25 mph) even with your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your cruising speed can be maintained up or down grades within the limits of engine performance, although a slight speed change may occur when driving up or down the grades. On steeper hills, a greater speed change will occur so it is better to drive without the cruise control.


CAUTION


(cid:2) To help maintain maximum con- trol of your vehicle, do not use the cruise control when driving in heavy or varying traffic, or in slip- pery (rainy, icy or snow-covered) or winding roads.


(cid:2) Avoid vehicle speed increases when driving downhill. If the ve- hicle speed is too fast in relation to the cruise control set speed, can- cel the cruise control then down- shift the transmission to use en- gine braking to slow down.


81


If you need acceleration — for example, when passing—depress the accelerator pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you release it, the ve- hicle will return to the speed set prior to the acceleration. 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. If the vehicle speed falls below about 40
km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will auto- matically cancel out. If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10
mph) below the preset speed, the preset speed will also automatically cancel out. If the preset speed automatically cancels out other than for the above cases have your vehicle checked by your Toyota deal- er at the earliest opportunity.


TURNING ON THE SYSTEM To operate the cruise control, press the “CRUISE ON-OFF” switch. This turns the system on. The indicator light in the instru- ment panel shows that you can now set the vehicle at a desired cruising speed. Another press will turn the system com- pletely off.


CAUTION


To avoid accidental cruise control engagement, keep the “CRUISE ON-OFF” switch off when not using the cruise control.


82


SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED On vehicles with automatic transmission, the transmission must be in “D” before you set the cruise control speed. Bring your vehicle to the desired speed, push the lever down in the “SET/COAST” direction and release it. This sets the ve- hicle at that speed. If the speed is not sat- isfactory, 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.


RESETTING AT A FASTER SPEED Push the lever up in the “RES/ACC” direc- tion and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain speed. However, a faster way to reset is to accel- erate the vehicle and then push the lever down in the “SET/COAST” direction. RESETTING AT A SLOWER SPEED Push the lever down in the “SET/COAST” direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held down, the vehicle speed will gradually decrease. However, a faster way to reset is to de- press the brake pedal and then push the lever down in the “SET/COAST” direction. Even if you turn off the overdrive switch with the cruise control on, engine braking will not be applied because the cruise con- trol is not cancelled. To decrease the ve- hicle speed, reset to a slower speed with the cruise control lever or depress the brake pedal. If you use the brake pedal, cruise control is cancelled.


RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling the control lever or by depressing the brake pedal or clutch pedal, pushing the lever up in the “RES/ACC” direction will restore the speed set prior to cancellation. However, once the vehicle speed falls be- low about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will not be resumed. CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARN- ING If the “CRUISE” indicator light in the in- strument cluster flashes when using the cruise control, press the “CRUISE ON- OFF” button to turn the system off and then press it again to turn it on. If any of the following conditions then oc- curs, there is some trouble in the cruise control system. (cid:2) The indicator light does not come on. (cid:2) The indicator light flashes again. (cid:2) The indicator light goes out after it


comes on.


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

—Using your audio system: some basics 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 igni- tion key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position. TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF Push “PWR/VOL” to turn the audio sys- tem on and off. Push “AM ⋅ FM” or “TAPE” or “CD” to turn on that function without pushing “PWR/ VOL”. You can turn on the cassette player by in- serting a cassette tape. You can turn off the cassette player by ejecting the cassette tape. If the audio system was previously off, then the entire audio system will be turned off when you eject the cassette tape. If another function was previously playing, it will come on again. SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS Push “AM ⋅ FM”, “TAPE” or “CD” if the sys- tem is already on but you want to switch from one function to another.


TONE AND BALANCE For details about your system’s tone and balance controls, see the description of your own system. Tone How good an audio program sounds to you is largely determined by the mix of the treble, midrange, and bass levels. In fact, different kinds of music and vocal pro- grams usually sound better with different mixes of treble, mid-range, 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.
