Gauges, Meters and Service reminder indicators

(cid:1) Fuel gauge (cid:1) Engine coolant temperature

gauge

(cid:1) Tachometer (cid:1) Odometer and trip meter (cid:1) Service reminder indicators

and warning buzzers

Fuel gauge

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. 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 fuel level approaches “E” or the low fuel level warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible. If the fuel tank is completely empty, the malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill the fuel tank immediately.

67

Engine coolant temperature gauge

Tachometer

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 (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to se- lect correct shift points and to prevent engine lugging and overrevving. 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 points to the red zone or high- er, 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. Idling for a long period with the air con- ditioning on in stop-and-go traffic.

(cid:1)

(cid:1) Towing a trailer.

Odometer and trip meter

Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers

The odometer records the total dis- tance the vehicle has been driven. The trip meter may be set to zero to record the distance on each trip. To reset the trip meter, press the trip meter reset knob. The black digits on white indicate tenths of kilometers or miles.

69

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 operate, however, until the battery is discharged. 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 Pressure 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 Toyota 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.

NOTICE

Do not drive the vehicle with the warning light on—even for one block. It may ruin the engine.

(e) 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.

(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, slow down 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.

70

(f) “ABS” Warning Light This light warns that there is a problem somewhere in your anti-lock brake sys- tem. 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 without anti-lock function. (g) Open Door Warning Light This light remains on until all the side doors and back door are completely closed. (h) 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 the air- bag sensor assembly, inflators, warning light, interconnecting wiring and 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.

(cid:1) The light comes on while driving. (i) 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. There is a problem somewhere in your engine or automatic transmission electri- cal system. If it comes on while you are driving in case b, have your vehicle checked/repaired by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. (j) Key Reminder Buzzer This buzzer reminds you to remove the key when you open the driver’s door with the ignition key in the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.

(k) Light Reminder Buzzer This buzzer will sound if the driver’s door is opened with the key removed from the ignition switch and the headlight switch left on. CHECKING SERVICE REMINDER INDI- CATORS (except the low fuel level warning light) 1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Open one of the side doors or back door. The open door warning light should come on. 3. Close the door. The open door warning light should go off. 4. Turn the ignition key to “ACC”. The SRS airbag warning light should come on. It goes off after about 6 sec- onds. 5. Turn the ignition key to “ON”, but do not start the engine. All the service reminder indicators except the open door warning light and SRS air- bag warning light should come on. The “ABS” warning light goes off after about 3
seconds. If any service reminder indicators or warn- ing buzzer do not function as described above, either the bulb is burned out or the circuit is in need of repair. Have it checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as pos- sible.

*2: 4A-FE only—Applicable under heavy

acceleration conditions.

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.

78

Upshifting too soon or downshifting too late will cause lugging, and possibly pinging. Regularly revving the engine to maximum speed in each gear will cause excessive engine wear and high fuel comsumption. 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: 4A-FE engine

gear

7A-FE engine

gear

km/h (mph) 46 (29) 86 (54) 126 (78) 170 (106)

km/h (mph) 53 (33) 88 (55) 128 (80) 173 (108)

NOTICE

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

Good driving practice

(cid:1)

If it 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 reverse.

Parking brake

Cruise control

To set: Pull up the lever. To release: Pull up slightly, press the thumb button, and lower. Before leaving your vehicle, firmly apply the parking brake. For better holding pow- er, first depress the brake pedal and hold it while setting the parking brake.

CAUTION

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

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.

79

CAUTION

(cid:1) To help maintain maximum control of your vehicle, do not use the cruise control when driving in heavy or varying traffic, or on 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.

80

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. RESETTING AT A FASTER SPEED Press the control lever upward in the “RES/ACC” direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is at- tained. While the lever is held upward, the vehicle will gradually gain speed. However, a faster way to reset is to accel- erate the vehicle and then press the lever downward in the “SET/COAST” direction. RESETTING AT A SLOWER SPEED Push the control lever downward in the “SET/COAST” direction and hold it. Re- lease the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held down- ward, the vehicle speed will gradually de- crease.

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, press the “SET/COAST” direction and re- lease it. This sets the vehicle at that speed. Now you may take your foot off the accelerator pedal. If you need accelera- tion—for example, when passing—de- press the accelerator pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you release it, the vehicle 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 control lever in the “CAN- CEL” direction and releasing it. b. Depressing the brake pedal. c. Depressing the clutch pedal (manual transmission).

However, a faster way to reset is to de- press the brake pedal and then press the control lever downward in the “SET/ COAST” direction. 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 WARNING If the “CRUISE” indicator light in the in- strument cluster flashes when using the cruise control, there is some trouble in the cruise control system. Contact your Toyo- ta dealer and have your vehicle inspected.

Car audio system operating tips You can listen to the car audio system when the ignition key is at “ON” or “ACC”. However, if the engine is not running, the key must be in the “ACC” position. 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 FM reception tips Most of us are not aware that a vehicle is not an ideal place to listen to a radio. Be- cause it moves, reception conditions change continuously. Buildings, terrain, signal distance and noise from other ve- hicles are all working against good recep- tion. Some FM reception conditions may appear to be problems even though they are normal. The following characteristics are normal for a given reception area, and they do not indicate any problem with the radio itself. (cid:2) Fading and Drifting: On the average, the broadcast range of FM stations is limited to about 40 km (25 miles), ex- cept for some high power stations.

If a vehicle is moving away from the desired station’s transmitter, the signal will tend to fade and/or drift. This phe- nomenon is more noticeable with FM than with AM, and is accompanied by distortion. Fading and drifting can be minimized to a certain degree by fine tuning, or you should tune in to a stronger signal. (cid:2) Static and Fluttering: When the line- of-sight path between a transmitter and vehicle is blocked by large build- ings or the like, static or fluttering may occur because of the characteristic of FM. In a similar effect, a fluttering noise is sometimes heard when driv- ing along a tree-lined road. This static and fluttering can be re- duced by adjusting the tone control for greater bass response until the distur- bance has passed.

(cid:2) Multipath: Because of the reflection characteristics of FM, direct and re- flected signals may reach the antenna at the same time (a phenomenon called multipath reception) and cancel each other out. As a vehicle moves through these electronic dead spots, the listener may hear a momentary flutter or lose reception.

83

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.

CASSETTE TAPE PLAYER Use only undamaged cassette tapes of good quality. Avoid using tapes with a total playing time longer than 90 min- utes. Using damaged tapes will cause trouble with the tape player. Longer tapes are not recommended because of their thinness. Before inserting a cassette, make sure the tape is not slack and that the label is firmly stuck on the shell. Wind the tape firmly by turning the hub with a pencil or the like. Be careful not to touch the exposed tape surface. When not in use, take the cassette out of the player, put it back into its case and store it away from dust, magnets and direct sunlight. Leaving cassettes on the dashboard in the sun could damage your tapes. Keep the playback head, capstan and pinch roller clean. Remove tape coating residue accumu- lated on the head, capstan and pinch roll- er once or twice a month. A cleaning tape is available on the market.

(cid:2) Station swapping: When two FM sta- tions are close to each other, and an electronic dead spot, such as is caused by static or multipath recep- tion, interrupts the original signal, sometimes the stronger second signal is picked up automatically until the original one returns. This swapping can also occur as you drive away from the selected station and approach another station with a stronger signal. On models with a power antenna, the an- tenna automatically extends to its full height when the radio and ignition are turned on. To lower the power antenna, turn off the audio system by pushing “PWR.VOL”, or turn the ignition key to “LOCK”. On some models, the power antenna au- tomatically retracts when the radio mode is switched off to turn on the cassette tape player. Before extending the power antenna, confirm that no one is close enough to get injured by it.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the antenna, make sure it is retracted before driving your vehicle through an automatic car wash.

(f) Air flow selection FACE position—This position directs the air flow to face level. BI-LEVEL—This position directs the air flow to face level and floor. Except in ven- tilation, the air to the floor is slightly warm- er than that to the face level. FLOOR position—This position directs the air flow mostly to the floor. FLOOR / WINDSHIELD position — This position directs the air flow to the wind- shield and front side windows as well as the floor. WINDSHIELD position—This position di- rects the air flow mostly to the windshield, front side windows. Do not use the WINDSHIELD position during cooling operation in extremely hu- mid weather. The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield could cause the outer sur- face of the windshield to fog up blocking your vision. (g) Operating tips (cid:1) Be sure the air inlet grilles in front of the windshield are not blocked by leaves or other obstructions.

(cid:1)

If air flow control is not satisfactory, check the side vents. (See “Side vents” after “Heater controls”.)

(cid:1) To help cool down the interior after parking in the hot sun, drive for the first few minutes with the windows open. After the excess heat has blown away, close the windows.

(cid:1) When driving on dusty roads, close all windows. If dust thrown up by the ve- hicle is still drawn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recom- mended that the air intake control le- ver be set to the OUTSIDE AIR posi- tion and the fan speed control lever anywhere except the “OFF” position. If following another vehicle on a dusty road, or driving in windy and dusty con- ditions, it is recommened that the air intake control lever be temporarily set to the RECIRCULATED AIR position, which will close off the outside pas- sage and prevent outside air and dust from entering the vehicle interior.
