CAUTION
D For effective protection in automo- bile accidents and sudden stops, a child must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an acci- dent, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.

—Child restraint system A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with either the lap belt or the lap portion of the lap/ shoulder belt. You must carefully con- sult the manufacturer’s instructions which accompany the child restraint system. To provide proper restraint, use a child restraint system following the manufactur- er’s instructions about the appropriate age and size of the child for the child restraint system. Install the child restraint system correctly following the instructions provided by its manufacturer. General directions are also provided under the following illustrations. Double−cab models— system should be The child restraint installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

Toyota strongly urges use of a proper child restraint system which conforms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. Accord- ing to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. D Never install a rear−facing child re- straint system on the front passen- ger seat. In the event of an acci- dent, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear−facing child re- straint system is installed on the front passenger seat.

The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature when the engine 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 higher, stop your vehicle and allow the engine to cool. Your vehicle may overheat during severe operating conditions, such as: D Driving up a long hill on a hot day. D Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
D Idling for a long period with the air conditioning on in stop−and−go traffic.
D Towing a trailer.
NOTICE
z Do not
remove the thermostat
in the engine cooling system as this may cause the engine to overheat. The thermostat is designed to con- trol the flow of coolant to keep the temperature of the engine within the specified operating range.
z Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. See “If your ve- hicle overheats” on page 201.

Tachometer (on some models)
16h008
The tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of rpm (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to select correct shift points and to prevent en- gine lugging and over−revving. Driving with the engine running too fast causes excessive engine wear and poor in most cases fuel economy. Remember, the slower the engine speed, the greater the fuel economy.

The light acts as a reminder to have the front passenger buckle up the seat belt. Once the ignition key is turned to “ON”, the reminder light flashes if a passenger sits in the front passenger seat and does not fasten the seat belt. Unless the front passenger fastens the belt, the light con- tinues flashing. If luggage or other load is placed on the front passenger seat, depending on its weight and how it is placed on the seat, built−in sensors in the seat cushion may detect the pressure, causing the reminder light
to flash.

(g) 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. On inclines or curves, due to the move- level ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel warning light may come on earlier than usual. (h) “ABS” Warning Light
(on some models)
The light comes on when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position. If the anti− lock brake system works properly, the light turns off after a few seconds. There- after, if the system malfunctions, the light comes on again. When the “ABS” warning light the anti−lock brake system does not operate so that the wheels could lock up during a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces, but the brake system still operates conventionally.

At this time, vibration may occur. Howev- er, if you depress the accelerator pedal more firmly and slowly, you can drive your vehicle at low speeds. Have your Toyota checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. Even if the abnormality in the electronic throttle control system (gasoline engine) or electronic engine control system (diesel engine) is corrected during low speed driv- ing, the system may not be recovered until the engine is stopped and the ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
