TERMS Packet write— This is a general term for a method of writing on CD−R, etc. at the time required for a file, just as is done with files on floppy or hard discs. Bit rate— This expresses data volume per second, or bps units (bits per second). The higher the rate, the more information is available to reproduce the sound. Using the same encoding methods (such as MP3), the higher the rate, Multi−session— Multi−session is a recording method that allows additional data to be recorded later. When recording data on a CD−ROM, CD−R or CD−RW, etc., all data from be- ginning to end is treated as a single unit or session. Multi−session is a method of recording more than 2 sessions in one disc.

m3u— Playlists created using the “WINAMP” soft- ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u). MP3— MP3 is short for MPEG 1 & 2 Audio Layer 3. It is an audio compression standard set by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Standards Organization). MP3 is able to compress audio data to about 1/10 the level of a conventional disc.
CD−DA— CD−DA is an abbreviation of Compact Disc Digital Audio. It refers to the uncom- pressed format of regular CDs. ID3 Tag— This is a method of embedding track−re- lated information in a MP3 file. This em- bedded information can include the track title, the artist’s name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, com- ments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3

Operating tips D To cool off your Toyota after
it has been parked in the hot sun, drive with the windows open for a few minutes. This vents the hot air, allowing the air conditioning to cool the interior more quickly.
D Make sure the air intake grilles in front the windshield are not blocked (by
of leaves or snow,
for example).

D On humid days, do not blow cold air on the windshield. The windshield could fog up because of the difference in air temperature on the inside and outside of
the windshield.
D Keep the area under
the front seats clear to allow air to circulate through- out
the vehicle.
D On cold days, set
the fan speed to high for a minute to help clear the intake ducts of snow or moisture. This can reduce the amount of fogging on the windows.

This vehicle has higher ground clear- ance and narrower tread in relation to the height of its center of gravity to make it capable of performing in a wide variety of off−road applications. Specific design characteristics give it a higher center of gravity than ordinary passen- ger cars. This vehicle design feature causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to rollover. And, it has a signifi- cantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you to antici- pate problems. is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordi- nary passenger cars any more than low−slung sports cars designed to per- form satisfactorily off−road conditions. Therefore, sharp turns at excessive speeds may cause rollover.

CAUTION
Always observe the following precau- tions to minimize the risk of death, serious injury or damage to your ve- hicle: D In a rollover crash, an unbelted per- son is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers should fasten their seat belts whenever the vehicle is mov- ing.
D Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu- vers, if at all possible. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury.
D Avoid loading any items on the roof that will raise the vehicle’s center of gravity.

Break−in period Drive gently and avoid high speeds. Your vehicle does not need an elaborate break−in. But following a few simple tips for the first 1000 km (600 miles) can add to the future economy and long life of your vehicle: D Avoid full
throttle acceleration when
starting and driving.
D Avoid racing the engine. D Try to avoid hard stops during the first
300 km (200 miles).
D Do not drive slowly with the manual
transmission in a high gear.
D Do not drive for a long time at any
single speed, either fast or slow.
D Do not tow a trailer during the first 800
km (500 miles).
D Always slow down in gusty cross- winds. Because of its profile and higher center of gravity, your ve- hicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordinary passenger car. Slowing down will allow you to have better control.
D When driving off−road or in rugged terrain, do not drive at excessive speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike objects, etc. This may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. You are also risking expensive damage to your vehicle’s suspension and chassis.
D Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes. Driving straight up or straight down is preferred. Your ve- hicle (or any similar off−road ve- hicle) can tip over sideways much more easily than forward or back- ward.

Fuel Selecting the proper fuel for satisfactory engine performance. Engine damage caused by use of improp- er fuels is not covered under Toyota’s new vehicle warranty. FUEL TYPE Gasoline engine— Use only unleaded gasoline. To help prevent gas station mix−ups, your vehicle has a smaller fuel tank opening. The special nozzle on pumps with un- leaded fuel will fit it, but the larger stan- dard nozzle on pumps with leaded gas will not.
NOTICE
Do not use leaded gasoline. Use of leaded gasoline will cause the three− way catalytic converter to lose its ef- fectiveness and the emission control system to function improperly, and will damage the engine. Also, this can increase maintenance costs.

If your engine knocks... If you detect heavy knocking even when using the recommended fuel, or if you hear steady knocking while holding a steady speed on level roads, consult your Toyota dealer. However, occasionally, you may notice light knocking for a short time while accel- erating or driving up hills. This is normal and there is no need for concern. FUEL TANK CAPACITY
76 L (20.1 gal., 16.7 Imp. gal.)
Fuel pump shut off system The fuel pump shut off system stops sup- plying fuel to the engine when the engine stalls or an airbag inflates upon collision. To restart the engine after the fuel pump shut off system activates, turn the engine switch to “ACC” or “LOCK” once and start it.
CAUTION
Inspect the ground under the vehicle before restarting the engine. If you fuel has leaked onto the find that ground, the fuel system has been damaged and is in need of repair. In this case, do not restart the engine.
Diesel engine—Use only diesel fuel. OCTANE/CETANE NUMBER 1GR−FE engine—
Select Research Octane Number 91
or higher. For improved vehicle performance, the use of premium un- leaded gasoline with a Research Oc- tane Number of 95 or higher is rec- ommended.2TR−FE engine—
Select Research Octane Number 91
or higher.1KD−FTV engine—
Select cetane number 50 (cetane index 45) or higher.
Use of fuel with an octane or cetane num- ber lower than stated will cause persistent heavy knocking. If severe, this will lead to engine damage.

D When taking a nap in the vehicle, always turn the engine off. Other- wise, you may accidentally move the shift lever or depress the accel- erator pedal, which could cause an accident or fire due to engine over- heating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.
D Toyota does not recommend occu- pying the rear cargo area when it is fitted with a slide−in camper, camper shell or other type cover while the engine is running. This caution applies to both driving and stopped or parked situations with the engine running. Particular care should be taken to prevent exhaust gases from entering camper bodies, trailers or other enclosures on or around your vehicle. If exhaust fumes are detected, open all win- dows and thoroughly ventilate the area.
D Do not remain for a long time in a parked vehicle with the engine run- ning. If it is unavoidable, however, do so only in an unconfined area and adjust the heating or cooling system to force outside air into the vehicle.
D Keep the quarter windows closed while driving. An open or unsealed rear window and quarter windows may cause exhaust gases to be drawn into the vehicle.
D To allow proper operation of your vehicle’s ventilation system, keep the inlet grilles in front of the wind- shield clear of snow, leaves, or oth- er obstructions.
D If
the smell of exhaust
is noticed inside the vehicle, open the win- dows. Large amounts of exhaust in the vehicle can cause driver drowsi- ness and an accident, resulting in death or a serious health hazard. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.

Facts about engine oil consumption FUNCTIONS OF ENGINE OIL Engine oil has the primary functions of lubricating and cooling the inside of the engine, and plays a major role in main- taining the engine in proper working order. ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION It is normal that an engine should con- sume some engine oil during normal engine operation. The causes of oil consumption in a normal engine are as follows. D Oil
is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a pis- ton moves downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated when the vehicle is decelerating sucks some of this oil into the combustion chamber. This oil as well as some part of the oil film left on the cylinder wall is burned by the high temperature combustion gases during the combustion process. D Oil is also used to lubricate the stems of the intake valves. Some of this oil is sucked into the combustion chamber together with the intake air and is burned along with the fuel. High tem- perature exhaust gases also burn the oil used to lubricate the exhaust valve stems.
The amount of engine oil consumed de- pends on the viscosity of the oil, the quality of the oil and the conditions the vehicle is driven under. is consumed by high−speed driv- More oil ing and frequent acceleration and decel- eration. A new engine consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls have not become conditioned. Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000
km (1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp. qt./600
miles) When judging the amount of oil con- sumption, note that the oil may become diluted and make it difficult to judge the true level accurately. As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a nor- the dipstick may not mal amount of oil, show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km (600 miles) or more. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has not changed. The diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle is then driven at high speeds, as on an expressway, making it appear that oil is excessively consumed after driving at high speeds.IMPORTANCE OF ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK One of the most important points in prop- er vehicle maintenance is to keep the en- gine oil at the optimum level so that oil function will not be impaired. Therefore, it is essential level be checked regularly. Toyota recommends that the oil level be checked every time you refuel the vehicle.
that the oil
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine trouble due to insufficient oil.

ANTI−LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (on some models) The anti−lock brake system is designed to automatically help prevent lock−up of the wheels during a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. This assists in providing directional stability and steering performance of the vehicle under these circumstances.
Effective way to press the ABS brake pedal: When the anti−lock brake system function is in action, you may feel the brake pedal pulsating and hear a noise. In this situation, the anti−lock brake system work for you, just hold the brake pedal down more firmly. Do not pump the brake in a panic stop. This will result in reduced braking performan- ce.
to let
The anti−lock brake system becomes op- erative after the vehicle has accelerated to a speed in excess of approximately 10
km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when the vehicle decelerates to a speed below approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).HILUX (Q) OM71122E

Do not overestimate the anti−lock brake system: Although the anti−lock brake system assists in providing ve- hicle control, important to drive with all due care and maintain a moderate speed and safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, be- cause there are limits to the vehicle stability and effectiveness of steering wheel operation even with the anti− lock brake system on. tire grip performance exceeds its If capability, or if hydroplaning occurs during high speed driving in the rain, the anti−lock brake system does not provide vehicle control.
Depressing the brake pedal on slippery road surfaces such as on a manhole cov- er, a steel plate at a construction site, joints in a bridge, etc. on a rainy day tends to activate the anti−lock brake sys- tem. You may hear a click or motor sound in the engine compartment for a few seconds when the engine is started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This means that the anti−lock brake system is in the self−check mode, and does not indicate a malfunction. When the anti−lock brake system is ac- tivated, the following conditions may occur. They do not indicate a malfunc- tion of the system: D You may hear the anti−lock brake sys- tem operating and feel the brake pedal pulsating and the vibrations of the ve- hicle body and steering wheel. You may also hear the motor sound in the engine compartment even after the ve- hicle is stopped.
D At the end of the anti−lock brake sys- the brake pedal may

Anti−lock brake system is not de- signed to shorten the stopping dis- tance: Always drive at a moderate speed and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Compared with vehicles without an anti−lock brake system, your vehicle may require a longer stopping dis- tance in the following cases: D Driving on rough, gravel or snow−
covered roads.
D Driving with tire chains installed. D Driving over the steps such as the
joints on the road.
D Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has other differ- ences in surface height.
Install all 4 tires of specified size at appropriate pressure: The anti−lock brake system detects vehicle speeds using the speed sensors for respec- tive wheels’ turning speeds. The use of tires other than specified may fail to detect the accurate turning speed resulting in a longer stopping dis- tance.
