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 Chapter 7-1 for locations of the fuses. Turn the ignition switch and inopera- tive component off. Pull a suspected fuse straight out and check it. Determine which fuse may be causing the problem. The lid of the fuse box shows the name of the circuit for each fuse. See Part 8 of this manual for the functions con- trolled by each circuit. Type A and B fuses can be pulled out by using the pull-out tool.

CAUTION

Never use a fuse with a higher am- perage rating, or any other object, in place of a fuse. This may cause extensive damage and possibly a fire.

Adding washer fluid If any washer does not work, the wash- er tank may be empty. Add washer fluid. You may use plain water as washer fluid. However, in cold areas where tempera- tures range below freezing point, use washer fluid containing antifreeze. This product is available at your Toyota dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for how much to mix with water.

NOTICE

Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute because it may damage your vehicle’s paint.

Replacing light bulbs— The following illustrations show how to gain access to the bulbs. When replacing a bulb, make sure the ignition switch and light switch are off. Use bulbs with the wattage ratings given in the table.

CAUTION

Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and require special han- dling. 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.

NOTICE

Only use a bulb of the listed type.

(cid:1) Uniform tire quality grading

inform

(NHTSA)

immediately

Reporting safety defects for U.S. owners If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in addition to notifying Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., (Toll-free: 1-800-331-4331). If NHTSA receives similar com- plaints, it may open an investiga- tion, and if it finds that a safety de- fect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA can- not become involved in individual problems between you, your deal- er, or Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

1-800-424-9393

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll- free (or 366-0123 in Washington D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA. U.S. De- partment of Transportation. Wash- ington D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about mo- tor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive load- ing, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

Traction A, B, C—The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are A, B, and C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified govern- ment test surfaces of asphalt and con- crete. 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. Temperature A, B, C—The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, rep- resenting the tire’s resistance to the gen- eration of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled condi- tions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degener- ate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire fail- ure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Ve- hicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of perfor- mance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

Uniform tire quality grading This information has been prepared in ac- cordance with regulations issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis- tration of the U.S. Department of Trans- portation. It provides the purchasers and/ or prospective purchasers of Toyota vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading. Your Toyota dealer will help answer any questions you may have as you read this information. DOT quality grades—All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades. These quality grades are molded on the sidewall. Treadwear—The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under con- trolled conditions on a specified govern- ment test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1-1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

OPERATION OF INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS—

Keys

Chapter 1-2
Keys and Doors

(cid:1) Keys (cid:1) Side doors (cid:1) Power windows (cid:1) Trunk lid (cid:1) Back door (cid:1) Hood (cid:1) Fuel tank cap (cid:1) Electric moon roof

The master key works in every lock. The subkey will not work in the trunk and glovebox. To protect things locked in the trunk or glvebox when you have your vehicle parked, leave the subkey with the atten- dant. Since the side doors, back door and trunk lid can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare master key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.

Keep the key number plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. If you should lose your keys or if you need additional keys, duplicates can be made by a Toyota dealer using the key number. You should also put a copy of the key number with your important papers.

Side doors

LOCKING WITH KEY Turn the key towards the front of the vehicle to lock and towards the back to unlock. Vehicles with power door lock sys- tem—All the side doors and back door lock and unlock simultaneously with either front door. In the driver’s door lock, turning the key once will unlock the driver’s door and twice in succession will unlock all the side doors and back door simultaneously. On some models, the door keyhole light will come on to help you locate the key- hole if you pull up and release the door handle when inserting the key into the driver’s door keyhole in the dark.

LOCKING WITH INSIDE LOCK KNOB Turn the lock knob forward to lock and backward to unlock the door. Closing the door with the lock knob in the lock position will also lock the door. Be careful not to lock your keys in the vehicle. Vehicles with power door lock system— The door cannot be locked if you leave the key in the ignition switch.

LOCKING WITH POWER DOOR LOCK SWITCH To lock all the side doors and back door simultaneously, push the power door lock switch on the LOCK side. Pushing on the UNLOCK side will un- lock them.

Power windows

CAUTION

Before driving, be sure that the doors are closed and locked, espe- cially when small children are in the vehicle. Along with the proper use of seat belts, locking the doors helps prevent the driver and passengers from being thrown out from the ve- hicle during an accident. It also helps prevent the doors from being opened unintentionally.

LOCKING WITH REAR DOOR CHILD- PROTECTORS Turn the lock knob to the “LOCK” position as shown on the label. This feature allows you to lock a rear door so it can be opened from the outside only, not from inside. We recommend using this feature whenever small children are in the vehicle.

The windows can be operated with the switch on each side door. The power windows work when the igni- tion switch is in the “ON” position. Howev- er, if both front doors are closed, they work for 60 seconds even after the ignition switch is turned off. They stop working when either front door is opened. OPERATING THE DRIVER’S WINDOW Use the switch on the driver’s door. Normal operation: The window moves as long as you hold the switch. To open: Lightly push down the switch. To close: Pull up the switch.

OPERATING THE PASSENGERS’ WIN- DOWS Use the switch on each passenger’s door or the switches on the driver’s door that control each passenger’s window. The windows move as long as you hold the switch. To open: Push down the switch. To close: Pull up the switch. If you push in the window lock button on the driver’s door, the passengers’ win- dows cannot be operated.

! CAUTION

To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the following. (cid:1) Always make sure the head, hands and other parts of the body of all oc- cupants are kept completely inside the vehicle before you close the power windows. If someone’s neck, head or hands gets caught in a clos- ing window, it could result in a seri- ous injury. When anyone closes the power windows, be sure that they operate the windows safely.

(cid:1) When small children are in the ve- hicle, never let them use the power window switches without supervi- sion. Use the window lock button to prevent them from making unex- pected use of the switches.

Automatic operation (to open only): Push the switch completely down and then release it. The window will fully open. To stop the window partway, lightly pull the switch up and then release it.

10

Trunk lid (sedan and coupe)—

—Lock release lever

(cid:1) Never leave small children alone in the vehicle, especially with the igni- tion key still inserted. They could use the power window switches and get trapped in a window. Unat- tended children can become in- volved in serious accidents.

To open the trunk lid from the driver’s seat, pull up on the lock release lever.

To open the trunk lid from the outside, insert the master key and turn it clock- wise. See “Luggage stowage precautions” in Part 2 for precautions to observe in load- ing luggage. To close the trunk lid, lower it and press down on it. After closing the trunk lid, try pulling it up to make sure it is securely closed.

CAUTION

Keep the trunk lid closed while driv- ing. This not only keeps the luggage from being thrown out but also pre- vents exhaust gases from entering the vehicle.

—Luggage security system

Back door (wagon)—

This system deactivates the lock re- lease lever so that things locked in the trunk can be protected. 1. Push down the security lock levers to lock the rear seatbacks. After locking the rear seatbacks, try folding them down to make sure they are securely locked—otherwise, someone could get into the trunk by folding down a rear seat.

2. After closing the trunk lid, insert the master key and turn it counterclock- wise to deactivate the lock release lev- er. After closing the trunk lid, try pulling it up to make sure it is securely locked.

12

FROM OUTSIDE To open the back door, insert the key and turn it clockwise to unlock. Then pull the handle and raise the door. To close the door, lower it and press down on it. After closing the back door, try pull- ing it up to make sure it is securely closed. FROM INSIDE (vehicles with third seat) Turn the lock knob rightward to lock and leftward to unlock the back door. To open the door, pull the handle and push the door outward. For closing, hold the lever and lower the door. After closing the back door, try push- ing it outward to make sure it is securely closed. See “Luggage stowage precautions” in Part 2 for precautions to observe in load- ing luggage. Closing the back door with the lock knob set in the lock position will also lock the back door. Be careful not to lock your keys in the vehicle.

—Power back door lock

Vehicles with power door lock sys- tem—To lock the back door, push the power door lock switch on the LOCK side. Pushing on the UNLOCK side will unlock it. At this time, all the side doors are oper- ated simultaneously (See “Side doors”.). You can, of course, lock and unlock the back door manually.

CAUTION

(cid:1) Do not smoke, cause sparks or al- low open flames when refueling. The fumes are flammable.

(cid:1) When opening the cap, do not re- move the cap quickly. In hot weather, fuel under pressure could cause injury by spraying out of the filler neck if the cap is sud- denly removed.

2. To remove the fuel tank cap, turn the cap slowly counterclockwise, then pause slightly before removing it. Af- ter removing the cap, hang it on the cap hanger. It is not unusual to hear a slight swoosh when the cap is opened. When installing, turn the cap clockwise till you hear a click. 5S-FE engined vehicles with automatic transmission— If the cap is not tightened securely, the malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Make sure the cap is tightened securely. 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.

15

Electric moon roof

CAUTION

(cid:1) Make sure the cap is tightened se- curely to prevent fuel spillage in case of an accident.

(cid:1) Use only a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap for replacement. It has a built-in check valve to reduce fuel tank vacuum.

To open the moon roof, push the switch on the “SLIDE” side. Pushing on the opposite side will close it. To tilt up the rear end of the moon roof, push the switch on the “UP” side. Pushing on the opposite side will lower it. The moon roof works when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. However, if both front doors are closed, it works for 60
seconds even after the ignition switch is turned off. It stops working when either front door is opened. The moon roof will move while the switch is being pushed and stop when released. However, as a precaution when closing, it stops at the three-quarters closed posi- tion before fully closing. Therefore, re- lease the switch and then push it again to close it completely. You may open the moon roof to any de- sired position. The sun shade can be opened or closed manually. However, if you open the moon roof, the sun shade will be opened togeth- er with the moon roof.

CAUTION

To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the following. (cid:1) While the vehicle is moving, al- ways keep the head, hands and other parts of the body of all occu- pants away from the roof opening. Otherwise, you could be seriously injured if the vehicle stops sud- denly or if the vehicle is involved in an accident.

(cid:1) Always make sure nobody places his/her head, hands and other parts of the body in the roof open- ing before you close the roof. If someone’s neck, head or hands gets caught in the closing roof, it could result in a serious injury. When anyone closes the roof, first make sure it is safe to do so.

(cid:1) Never leave small children alone in the vehicle, especially with the ignition key still inserted. They could use the moon roof switches and get trapped in the roof open- ing. Unattended children can be- come involved in serious acci- dents.

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.

(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 severe impact. The entire assem- bly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious.

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-
