do a slow charge (5A or less). Charging at a quicker rate is dan- gerous. The battery may explode, causing personal injuries. Maintenance type batteries: Be sure to remove the vent plugs be- fore recharging.

ADDING DISTILLED WATER (MAINTE- NANCE TYPE BATTERY ONLY) 1. Remove the vent plugs. 2. Add distilled water to cells needing fluid. If the side of your battery is covered, check the water level by looking down di- rectly above the cell as illustrated above. 3. Retighten the vent plugs securely.

NOTICE

Do not overfill the cells. Excess electrolyte could squirt out of the battery during heavy charging, causing corrosion or damage.

Checking and replacing fuses

If you are not sure whether the fuse has blown, try replacing the suspected fuse with one that you know is good. If the fuse has blown, push a new fuse into the clip. Only install a fuse with the amperage rat- ing designated on the fuse box lid. If you do not have a spare fuse, in an emergency you can pull out the “CIG & RAD”, “DOME” or “HTR” fuse, which may be dispensable for normal driving, and use it if its amperage rating is the same. If you cannot use one of the same amper- age, use one that is lower, but as close as possible to the rating. If the amperage is lower than that specified, the fuse might blow out again but this does not indicate anything wrong. Be sure to get the correct fuse as soon as possible and return the substitute to its original clip. It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep them in your vehicle for emergencies. If the new fuse immediately blows out, there is a problem with the electrical sys- tem. Have your Toyota dealer correct it as soon as possible.

191

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 fuses can be pulled out by using the pull-out tool. The location of the pull- out tool is shown in the illustration.

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.

Checking headlight aims

The headlights have the beam angle gauges to check: 1 Vertical movement 2 Horizontal movement To obtain correct gauge readings, do these before you check the headlight aims. (cid:1) Make sure the body around the head-

light is not deformed.

(cid:1) Park the vehicle on a level spot. (cid:1) Fill up the fuel tank. (cid:1) Bounce the vehicle several times. A passenger should sit on the driver’s seat while checking the headlight aims.

192

Vertical movement gauges: The bubble on the gauge should be within two marks from center on both sides.

Horizontal movement gauges: The triangle mark on the gauge should be within one mark from the “O” position. If a gauge reading is not within the accept- able range, have the aiming adjusted by your Toyota dealer.

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 handling. 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.

(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). similar If NHTSA complaints, it may open a investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

receives

Inc.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in Washington D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA. U.S. Department of Transportation. Washington D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

211

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

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.

212

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 specific indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire life, and ex- cessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Mo- tor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

Keys and Doors

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

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of key. 1 Master key—This key works in every lock. 2 Subkey—This key is for side doors. To protect things locked in the glovebox, trunk or luggage compartment when you have your vehicle parked, leave the sub- key with the attendant. Since the side doors, trunk lid and back door can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare master key in case you accidentally lock your keys in- side the vehicle.

KEY NUMBER PLATE Your key number is shown on the plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. If you should lose your keys of 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.

It also helps prevent the side doors from being opened unintentionally.

Power windows— —Power window precautions

—Side windows

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 occupants are kept completely in- side the vehicle before you close the power windows. If someone’s neck, head or hands gets caught in a closing window, it could result in serious in a serious injury. When anyone closes the power windows, be sure that they operate the win- dows 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.

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

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 side doors are closed, they work for 60 seconds even after the ignition switch is turned off. They stop working when either side 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 pull down the switch. To close: Push up the switch.

Front seats— —Seat adjustment precautions Adjust the driver’s seat so that the foot pedals, steering wheel and instrument panel controls are within easy reach of the driver.

CAUTION

(cid:1) Adjustments should not be made while the vehicle is moving, as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. (cid:1) When adjusting the seat, be careful not to hit the seat against a passen- ger or luggage. (cid:1) After adjusting the seat position, try sliding it forward and backward to make sure it is locked in position. (cid:1) After adjusting the seatback, exert body pressure to make sure it is locked in position. (cid:1) Do not put objects under the seats as they may interfere with the seat- lock mechanism or unexpectedly push up the seat position adjusting lever; the seat may suddenly move, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. (cid:1) While adjusting the seat, do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts. You may catch and injure your hands or fingers.

—Adjusting front seats

—Moving passenger’s seat for rear seat entry

1. SEAT POSITION ADJUSTING LE- VER Pull the lever up. Then slide the seat to the desired position with slight body pressure and release the lever. 2. SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING LEVER Lean forward and pull the lever up. Then lean back to the desired angle and release the lever.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed. The seat belts provide maxi- mum protection in a frontal or rear collision when the driver and the passenger are sitting up straight and well back in the seats. If you are re- clined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen. Therefore, in the event of a frontal collision, the risk of personal injury may increase with increasing recline of the seat- back. 3. DRIVER’S SEAT CUSHION ANGLE ADJUSTING KNOB Turn the knob either way.

For easy access to the rear seat, do this. 1. Lift the seatback angle adjusting lever or press the pedal behind the seatback. The seat will slide forward slightly. 2. Move the seat to the front-most posi- tion. After passengers are in, lift up the seat- back and return the seat until it locks.

22

Fold-down rear seat

CAUTION

(cid:1) After putting back the seat, try pushing the seat forward and rear- ward to make sure it is secured in place.

(cid:1) Never allow anyone to rest their foot on the release pedal while the vehicle is moving.

CAUTION

When returning the seatback to the upright position: (cid:1) Make sure the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback and are arranged in the proper position for ready to use.

(cid:1) Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing forward and rearward on the top of the seat- back.

1. Pull up the seatback security lock lever 1 to the unlock position. 2. Pull up the lock release button 2. 3. Fold down the seatback. Each seatback may be folded separately. This will enlarge the trunk room (coupe) or luggage compartment (liftback) as far as the front seatbacks. See “Luggage stow- age precautions” in Part 2 for precautions to observe in loading luggage.

23

Head restraints

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.

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. On some models, you can also move the head restraint forward or backward. If such adjustment is desired, 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.

24

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 center of the vehicle 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. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Depending on the injury, first check with your doctor for specific recommendations.

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. (See the seat adjustment instruc- tions.)

(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 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—Re- place the belt if the warning label under the sleeve can be seen. The warning label, “REPLACE BELT”, will appear if the belt receives a severe impact or other force.

25

—Seat belts

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 you 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.

26

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.

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 in- crease the chance of injury due to sliding under the lap belt during a collision. Keep the lap belt posi- tioned as low on as possible hips. (cid:1) For your safety, do not place the

shoulder belt under your arm.

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.

—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.

(cid:1) Remember that the extender pro- vided for you 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.
