Ignition switch with steering lock

“Start” - Starter motor on. The key will return to the “ON” position when re- leased. 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.

CAUTION

For manual transmission: Never remove the key when the ve- hicle is moving, as this will lock the steering wheel and result in loss of steering control.

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.

Automatic transmission

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 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

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 depressed). (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:1) Turn off the overdrive switch. The “O/D OFF” indicator light will come on and the transmission will downshift to the third gear.

(cid:1) Shift into the “2” position. The trans- mission will downshift to the second gear when the vehicle speed drops down to or lower than the following speed, and more powerful engine braking will be obtained. 106 km/h (65 mph) 5S-FE engine . . 1MZ-FE engine 119 km/h (73 mph) (cid:1) Shift into the “L” position. The trans- mission will downshift to the first gear when the vehicle speed drops down to or lower than the following speed, and maximum engine braking will be ap- plied. 5S-FE engine 1MZ-FE engine

46 km/h (28 mph) 56 km/h (34 mph)

. . . . . .

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 vehicle 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.

(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.

77

NOTICE

“2” “L”

(cid:2)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: . . . . . . . . . . .

125 km/h (77 mph) 69 km/h (42 mph) (cid:2)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.

78

(e) 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

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:1)

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

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 are no physical objects or people around the vehicle. During the rocking operation the vehicle may suddenly move forward or backward as it becomes unstuck, causing injury or damage to nearby people or objects.

NOTICE

If you rock your vehicle, observe the following precautions to prevent damage to the transmission and other parts. (cid:2)Do not depress the accelerator pedal while shifting the selector lever or before the transmission is completely shifted to forward or reverse gear.

(cid:2)Do not race the engine and avoid

spinning the wheels.

(cid:2)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 “P” position even though the brake pedal is depressed, use the shift lock override button. For instructions, see “If you can- not shift automatic transmission selector lever” in Part 4.

Manual transmission

The shift pattern is conventional as shown above. Press the clutch pedal down fully while shifting, and then release it slowly. Do not rest your foot on the pedal while driving, because it will cause clutch trouble. And do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopped on an uphill grade-use 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 follow- ing speeds:

gear

km/h (mph) 24 (15) 40 (25) 64 (40) 72 (45)

1 to 2 or 2 to 1
2 to 3 or 3 to 2
3 to 4 or 4 to 3
4 to 5 or 5 to 4
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 exces- sive engine wear and high fuel consump- tion. Maximum allowable speeds To get on a highway or to pass slower traf- fic, maximum acceleration may be neces- sary. Make sure you observe the following maximum allowable speeds in each gear:

gear

km/h (mph) 52 (32) 93 (57) 147 (91)

NOTICE

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

79

Parking brake

Good driving practice

(cid:1)

If it is difficult to shift into reverse, put the transmission in neutral, release the clutch pedal momentarily, and then try again.

(cid:1) When towing a trailer, in order to main- tain engine braking efficiency, do not use the fifth gear.

CAUTION

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

NOTICE

Make sure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into re- verse.

80

Type A

Type B

When parking, firmly apply the park- ing brake to avoid inadvertent creep- ing. To set: Pull up the lever. For better holding power, first depress the brake pedal and hold it while setting the brake. To release: Pull up the lever slightly, press the thumb button, and lower. 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:1) 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:1) 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.

TURNING ON THE SYSTEM To operate the cruise control, push 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 push 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.

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 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.

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.

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- ing.

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. 82

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 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. 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 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:1) The indicator light does not come on. (cid:1) The indicator light flashes again. (cid:1) 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” or “PWR/VOL” to turn the audio system on and off. Push “AM ⋅ FM” or “TAPE” or “CD” to turn on that function without pushing “PWR ⋅ VOL” or “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 the radio was previously on, it will come on again. SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS Push “AM ⋅ FM” , “TAPE” or “CD” if the system is already on but you want to switch from one function to another.

86

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 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

NOTICE (cid:5)Mast type antenna:

To prevent damage to the anten- na, make sure it is retracted before driving your Toyota through an automatic car wash.

(cid:5)On-glass antenna (built-in on the

rear window glass): Attaching the film (especially con- ductive or metalic 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 be to the right.

NOTICE

Do not oil any part of the player and do not insert anything other than cassette 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 auto- matically eject a disc if the label side is down.) The compact disc 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 except a com- pact disc into the slot.

8 cm (3 in.) compact disc singles Your compact disc player does not need an adaptor to play compact disc singles. Companct disc singles are about 8 cm (3
in.) in diameter-smaller than standard discs. After you eject a compact disc single, do not insert a standard 12 cm (5 in.) disc un- til “DISC” disappears from the display.

NOTICE

Do not use an adapter for compact disc singles—it could cause track- ing errors or interfere with the ejection of compact discs.

Cassette Player Type 2-2 only The cassette player scan feature is similar to the radio scan feature and uses the same button. Push “SCAN”. “SCAN” will appear on the display. The player will fast forward to the next cassette track, play it for 12 seconds, and then scan again. To select a track, push “SCAN” a second time. If the player reaches the end of one side of a cassette tape, it will continue scanning on the other side. SKIP Type 2-2 only The skip feature allows you to fast forward past long stretches of blank tape. This is especially useful at the end of cassettes.

95

Push “SKIP”. “SKIP” will appear on the display. The cassette player will keep track of how much blank space it plays. Any itme it has played about 10 seconds of blank tape, it will automatically fast for- ward to the next track and begin to play. Push the button a second time to turn off the skip feature. ST (Stereo reception) display Your radio automatically changes to ste- reo reception when a stereo broadcast is received. “ST” appears on the display. If the signal becomes weak, the radio re- duces the amount of channel separation to prevent the weak signal from creating noise. If the signal becomes extremely weak, the radio switches from stereo to mono reception. TAPE Push “Tape” to switch from radio opera- tion to cassette operation. If the audio system is off, you can turn on the cassette player by pushing “TAPE”. In both cases, a cassette must already be loaded in the player.

TREB (Treble) This knob lets you adjust the treble level. Push “BASS/TREB” so that it pops out of its retracted position. Pull out the knob. Turn the knob to adjust the treble.

These systems can store one AM and two FM stations for each button. (The display will show “AM”, “FM1”, or “FM2” when you push “AM⋅FM”.) To cancel out the preset station memory, push “1”, “2”, and “3” at the same time and hold them in until you hear a beep.

(Eject button)

Push the cassette tape eject button to eject a cassette. Push the compact disc eject button to eject a compact disc. After you turn the ignition to “LOCK”, you will be able to eject a cassette but you will not be able to reinsert it.

(Track down/up button)

By using this button, you can skip up or down to a different track. Cassette Player You can skip up to nine tracks at a time. Push the up or down side of the button. “1. FF” or “1. REW” will appear on the display. Next, push either side of the track button until the number on the display reaches the number of tracks you want to skip. If you push the button ten times, the skip feature will be turned off.

When counting thenumber of tracks you want to rewind, remember to count the current track as well. For example, if you want to rewind to a song that is two befor the son you are listening to, push on the down side of the button until “3. REW” ap- pears on the display. If you have pushed the track button more than you wanted to, push the other side of the button. The track number will be re- duced. The track number you select is not valid if it is higher than the number of tracks re- maining on the current cassette side. (cid:3) After the beginning of the tape is reached, the player will automatically start playing the same side.

(cid:3) After the end of the tape is reached, the player will automaticaally reverse sides andstart playing the other side. There must be at least 3 seconds of blank space between tracks for the track button to work correctly. In addition, the feature may not work well with some spoken word, live, or classical recordings.

Compact Disc Player Push either side of the track button until the number of the track you want to listen to appears on the display. If you want to return the beginning of thecurrent track, push the down side of the button one time, quickly.

NOTICE

To ensure the correct audio system operation: (cid:5)Be careful not to spill beverages

over the audio system.

(cid:5)Do not put anything other than a

cassette tape into the slot.

ILLUMINATION CONTROL LOGIC On some audio-units, when the instru- ment panel lights are on, the letters on op- erable buttons of the mode in current use light up together with the mode selection and eject buttons. RADIO RECEPTION Usually, a problem with radio reception does not mean there is a problem with your radio-it 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, and the farther you are from a station, the weaker its signal will be. In addition, reception conditions change constantly as your vehicle moves.

4. The three-digit code should be on the

display.

Push and hold in “SCAN” until the display goes dark. (At first, “SEC” will appear on the display.)

Here are some common reception prob- lems that probably do not indicate a prob- lem with your radio: FM Fading and drifing stations—Generally, the effective range of FM is about 40 km (25 miles). Once outside this range, you may notice fading and drifting, which in- crease with the distance from the radio transmitter. They are often accompanied by distortion. Multi-path—FM signals are reflective, making it possible for two signals to reach your antenna at the same time. If this hap- pens, the signals will cancel each other out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of reception. Static and fluttering—These occur when signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or other large objects. Increasing the bass level may reduce static and fluttering. Station swapping—If 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 original signal can be picked up again.

AM Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by the upper atmosphere-especially at night. These reflected signals can inter- fere with those received directly from the radio station, causing the radio station to sound alternately strong and weak. Station interference—when a reflected signal 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. Static—AM 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 high perfirmance from your cassette player and tapes: Clean the tape head and other parts regu- larly. (cid:3) A dirty tape head or tape path can de- crease sound quality and tangle your cassette tapes. The easiest way to clean them is by using a cleaning tape. (A wet tape is recommended.)

Use high-quality cassettes. (cid:3) Low-quality cassette tapes can cause many problems, including poor sound, inconsistent playing speed, and constant auto-reversing. They can also get stuck or tangled in the cas- sette player.

(cid:3) Do not use a cassette if it has been damaged or tangled or if its label is peeling off.

(cid:3) Do not leave a cassette in the player if you are not listening to it, especially if it is hot outside.

(cid:3) Store cassettes in their cases and out

of direct sunlight.

(cid:3) 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.

111

(cid:3)

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.

(cid:3) 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. (cid:3) Dirt, scrapes, warping, pin holes, or other disc damage could cause the player to skip or to repeat a section of a track. (To see a pin hole, hold the disc up to the light.)

(cid:3) Remove discs from the compact disc player when you are not listening to them. Store them in their plastic cases away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth that has been damp- ened with water. Wipe in a straight line from the center to the edge of the disc (not in circles). Dry it with another soft, lint- free cloth. Do not use a conventional re- cord cleaner or anti-static device.

CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER AND DISCS (cid:3) Use only compact discs labeled as

shown.

(cid:3) Extremely high

temperatures can keep your compact disc player from working. On hot days, use the air con- ditioning to cool the vehicle interior be- fore you listen to a disc.

(cid:3) Bumby roads or other vibrations may make your compact disc player skip.

112

A new disc may have rough edges on its inner and outer perimeter. Remove the rough edges by pressing the side of a ball-point pen or pencil against the inner and outer perimeter of the disc as shown. If you continue to play a disc with rough edges, flakes will fall on to the signal side of the disc and cause sound skipping or other problems.

CAUTION

Compact disc players use invisible laser beam which could cause haz- ardous radiation exposure if di- rected outside the unit. Be sure to operate the player correctly as instructed.

—Operating tips (cid:1) 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 condi- tioning to cool the interior more quickly. (cid:1) Make sure the air intake grilles in front of the windshield are not blocked (by leaves or snow, for example).

(cid:1) 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.

(cid:1) Keep the area under the front seats clear to allow air to circulate through- out the vehicle.

(cid:1) On cold days, move the fan speed to “HI” for a minute to help clear the in- take ducts of snow or moisture. This can reduce the amount of fogging on the windows.
