(B) CONVERTIBLE SEAT INSTALLA-

TION

A convertible seat is used in forward- facing and rear-facing depending on the child’s age and size. When instal- ling, follow the manufacturer’s in- struction about the applicable child’s age and size.

CAUTION

(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.

51

it

(cid:1) Only when

is unavoidable should a forward-facing child re- straint system be used on the front seat. Always move the seat as far back as possible because the force of deploying airbag would cause serious injury to the child.

(cid:1) Do not use a rear-facing child re- straint system in the rear seat if it interferes with the lock mecha- nism of the front seats. This can cause severe injury to the child and front passenger in case of sudden braking or a collision.

1. Run the lap and shoulder belt through or around the convertible seat follow- ing the instructions provided by its manufacturer and insert the tab into the buckle taking care not to twist the belt. Keep the lap portion of the belt tight.

52

CAUTION

(cid:1) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the lap and shoulder portions of 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, it cannot protect your child from injury. Contact your To- yota dealer immediately. Do not use the seat until the seat belt is fixed.

2. Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it in the lock mode. When the belt is then retracted even slightly, it cannot be ex- tended.

To hold the convertible seat securely, make sure the belt is in the lock mode be- fore letting the belt to retract.

3. While pressing the convertible seat firmly against the seat cushion and seatback, let the shoulder belt retract as far as it will go to hold the convert- ible seat securely.

4. To remove the convertible seat, press the buckle-release button and allow the belt to retract completely. The belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult or older child passen- ger.

(C)BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLATION A booster seat is used in forward-fac- ing only.

CAUTION

Make sure the seat belt is securely locked. Also make sure the child re- straint system is secure by pushing and pulling it in different directions. Follow all the installation instruc- tions provided by its manufacturer.

54

CAUTION

Only when it is unavoidable should a forward-facing child restraint sys- tem be used on the front seat. Al- ways move the seat as far back as possible because the force of de- ploying airbag would cause serioud injury to the child.

1. Sit the child on a booster seat. Run the lap and shoulder belt through or around the booster seat and child fol- lowing the instructions provided by its manufacturer and insert the tab into the buckle taking care not to twist the belt.

Make sure the shoulder belt is correctly across the child’s shoulder and that the lap belt is positioned as low as possible on child’s hips. See “Seat belts” for details.

CAUTION

(cid:1) Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the cen- ter of child’s shoulder. The belt should be kept away from child’s neck, but not falling off child’s shoulder. Failure to do so could re- duce the amount of protection in an accident and increase the chance of injury. (cid:1) High-positioned

lap belts and loose-fitting belts both could in- crease the chance of injury due to sliding under the lap belt during an accident. Keep the lap belt as low on your hip bone as possible.

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

shoulder belt under child’s arm.

(cid:1) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the lap and shoulder portions of 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: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 maybe 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.)

70

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 Buzz-

er

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, ect., 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) 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 electri- cal 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. (e) Low Fuel Pressure Warning Light This light comes on when the fuel level in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up the tank as soon as possible.

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.

75

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.
