On inclines or curves, due to the move- ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level warning light may come on earlier than usual.

The light and buzzer remind you to buckle up the driver’s seat belt. Once the ignition key is turned to ”ON” or ”START”, the reminder light flashes and buzzer sounds if the driver’s seat belt is not pulled out. Unless the driver starts to pull the shoulder belt out of the retractor, the light keeps flashing and the buzzer stops after 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.

If it comes on while you are driving in case c, have your vehicle checked/re- paired by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

NOTICE

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

(g) ”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 driv- ing, 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 a few 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 anti- lock brake system is not assisting brake performance so that the wheels can lock- up during sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. (h) Open Door Warning Light This light remains on until all the doors and back door are completely closed.

(i) 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 system of the airbag and front seat belt pretensioners are operating properly. The warning light system monitors the air- bag sensor assembly, seat belt pretension- er assembly, inflators, warning light, inter- connecting wiring, 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.

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.

Do not attempt this procedure if people or objects are anywhere near the ve- hicle. During the rocking operation the vehicle may suddenly move for- ward or backward as it becomes un- stuck, causing injury or damage to nearby people or objects.

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.

Downshift to the appropriate gear if accel- eration is needed when you are cruising below the above downshifting speeds. Upshifting too too soon or downshifting late will cause lugging, and possibly ping- ing. Regularly revving the engine to maxi- mum speed in each gear will cause ex- cessive engine wear and high fuel consumption. Maximum allowable speeds To get on a highway or to pass slower traffic, maximum acceleration may be nec- essary. Make sure you observe the follow- ing maximum allowable speeds in each gear:

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.

To avoid accidental cruise control en- gagement, 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 satisfactory, tap the lever up for a faster speed, or tap it down for a slower speed. Each tap changes the set speed by 1.6

If this is the case, contact your Toyota dealer and have your vehicle inspected.

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 ac- celerate 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.

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 and bass levels. In fact, differ- ent kinds of music and vocal programs 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 To lower a manual antenna, carefully push it down.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the antenna, make sure it is retracted before driv- ing your Toyota through an automatic car wash.

YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER When you insert a cassette, the exposed tape should be to the right.

Do not oil any part of the player and do not insert anything other than cas- sette tapes into the slot, or the tape player may be damaged.
