Protecting your Toyota from corrosion Toyota, through its diligent research, de- sign and use of the most advanced technology available, has done its part to help prevent corrosion and has provided you with vehicle construction. Now, it is up to you. Proper care of your Toyota can help ensure long– term corrosion prevention. The most common causes of corrosion to your vehicle are: (cid:1) The accumulation of road salt, dirt and moisture in hard–to–reach areas under the vehicle.
quality
finest
(cid:1) Chipping of paint, or undercoating caused by minor accidents or by stones and gravel.
Care is especially important if you live in particular areas or operate your ve- hicle under certain environmental condi- tions: (cid:1) Road salt or dust control chemicals will accelerate corrosion, as will the pres- ence of salt in the air near the sea– coast or in areas of industrial pollution. (cid:1) High humidity accelerates corrosion es- pecially when temperatures range just above the freezing point.
186
(cid:1) Pay particular attention to the vehicle’s underside and wheel housings as it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt. It will do more harm than good to simply wet the mud and debris without remov- ing them. The lower edge of doors, rocker panels and frame members have drain holes which should not be al- lowed to clog with dirt as trapped wa- ter in these areas can cause corrosion. (cid:1) Wash the underside of the vehicle thor-
oughly when winter is over.
See “Washing and waxing your Toyota” for more tips. Check the condition of your vehicle’s paint and trim. If you find any chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up im- mediately to prevent corrosion from start- ing. If the chips or scratches have gone through the bare metal, have a qualified body shop make the repair.
(cid:1) Wetness or dampness to certain parts of your vehicle for an extended period of time, may cause corrosion even though other parts of the vehicle may be dry.
(cid:1) High ambient temperatures can cause corrosion to those components of the vehicle which are prevented from quick–drying due to lack of proper ven- tilation.
The above signifies the necessity to keep your vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean as possible and to repair any dam- age to paint or protective coatings as soon as possible. To help prevent corrosion on your Toyota, follow these guidelines: Wash your vehicle frequently. It is, of course, necessary to keep your vehicle clean by regular washing, but to prevent corrosion, the following points should be observed: (cid:1) If you drive on salted roads
in the winter or if you live near the ocean, you should hose off the undercarriage at least once a month to minimize cor- rosion.
Check the interior of your vehicle. Wa- ter and dirt can accumulate under the floor mats and could cause corrosion. Oc- casionally check under the mats to make sure the area is dry. Be particularly care- ful when transporting chemicals, cleans- ers, fertilizers, salt, etc.; these should be transported in proper containers. If a spill or leak should occur, immediately clean and dry the area. Keep your vehicle in a well ventilated garage or a roofed place. Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly venti- lated garage. If you wash your vehicle in the garage, or if you drive it in covered with water or snow, your garage may be so damp it will cause corrosion. Even if your garage is heated, a wet vehicle can corrode if the ventilation is poor.

4. To prevent water spots, dry the vehicle using a clean soft cotton towel. Do not rub or press hard—you might scratch the paint.
Automatic car wash Your vehicle may be washed in an auto- matic car wash, but remember that the paint can be scratched by some type of brushes, unfiltered washing water, or the washing process itself. Scratching reduces paint durability and gloss, especially on darker colors. The manager of the car wash should be able to advise you wheth- er the process is safe for the paint on your vehicle.
Waxing your Toyota Polishing and waxing is recommended to maintain the original beauty of your Toyota’s finish. Once a month or if the vehicle surface does not repel water well, apply wax. 1. Always wash and dry the vehicle be- fore you begin waxing, even if you are using a combined cleaner and wax.
2. Use a good quality polish and wax. If the finish has become extremely weath- ered, use a car–cleaning polish, fol- lowed by a separate wax. Carefully fol- low the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions. Be sure to polish and wax the chrome trim as well as the paint. the vehicle again when water does not bead but remains on the sur- face in large patches.

CAUTION
(cid:1) Do not wash the vehicle floor with water, or allow water to get onto the floor when cleaning the vehicle interior or exterior. Water may get into audio components or other electrical components above or un- der the floor carpet (or mat) and cause fire or malfunction; and it may cause body corrosion. (cid:1) Vehicles with side airbags:
Be careful not to splash water or spill liquid on the floor. This may prevent the side airbags from acti- vating correctly, resulting in serious injury.
Vinyl interior The vinyl upholstery may be easily cleaned with a mild soap or detergent and water.
First vacuum over the upholstery to re- move loose dirt. Then, using a sponge or soft cloth, apply the soap solution to the vinyl. After allowing it to soak in for a few minutes to loosen the dirt, remove the dirt and wipe off the soap with a clean damp cloth. If all the dirt do not come off, re- peat the procedure. Commercial foaming– type vinyl cleaners are also available which work well. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Maintenance requirements Your Toyota vehicle has been designed for fewer maintenance requirements with long- er service intervals to save both your time and money. However, each regular mainte- nance, as well as day–to–day care, is more important than ever before to ensure smooth, trouble–free, safe, and economical driving. It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure the specified maintenance, including general maintenance service, is performed. Note the new vehicle and emission control system warranties specify that proper maintenance and care must be performed. ”Owner’s Warranty Information Booklet” or ”Owner’s Manual Supplement” warranty information. General maintenance General maintenance items are those day– to–day care practices that are important to your vehicle for proper operation. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the general maintenance items are performed regularly. These checks or inspections can be done either by yourself or a qualified technician, or if you prefer, your Toyota dealer will be pleased to do them at a nominal cost.

Scheduled maintenance The scheduled maintenance items listed in the ”Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or ”Owner’s Manual Supplement” are those required to be serviced at regular inter- vals. For details of your maintenance schedule, read the ”Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or ”Owner’s Manual Supplement”. It is recommended that only genuine Toyota parts be used for maintenance or for the repair of the emission con- trol system. The owner may elect to use non–Toyota supplied parts replacement pur- poses without invalidating the emission control system warranty. However, use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the effec- tiveness of the emission control sys- tems. You may also elect to have mainte- nance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and system performed by any automotive repair es- tablishment or individual without invali- dating this warranty. See ”Owner’s War- ranty Information Booklet” or ”Owner’s Manual Supplement” for complete war- ranty information.

Where to go for service? Toyota technicians are well–trained spe- cialists and are kept up to date with the latest service information through technical bulletins, service tips, and in–dealership training programs. They learn to work on Toyotas before they work on your vehicle, rather than while they are working on it. You can be confident that your Toyota dealer’s service department performs the best job to meet the maintenance require- ments on your vehicle–reliably and eco- nomically. Your copy of the repair order is proof that all required maintenance has been per- formed for warranty coverage. And if any problems should arise with your vehicle while under warranty, your Toyota dealer will promptly take care of it. Again, be sure to keep a copy of the repair order for any service performed on your Toyota. What about do–it–yourself maintenance? Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little mechani- cal ability and a few basic automotive tools. Simple instructions for how to per- form them are presented in Section 8.

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 car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements these grades. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A.
in addition
to
from
Tread wear—The tread wear grade is a
comparative rating based on the wear rate
of the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government 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 condi-
tions of their use, however, and may de-
part significantly
the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service prac-
tices and differences in road characteris-
tics and climate.
Traction AA, A, B, C—The
traction
grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A,
B, and C, and they represent the tire’s
ability to stop on wet pavement as mea-
sured under controlled conditions on spe-
cified government test surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may have
poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to
this
is based on braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include
cornering (turning) traction.
tire
Temperature A, B, C—The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissi- pate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to de- generate and reduce tire life, and exces- sive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a lev- el of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of perfor- mance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a tire that is prop- erly inflated and not overloaded. Exces- sive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combina- tion, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

Toyota hybrid system operating condition Basic operations are described below. Be- sides, Toyota hybrid system performs vari- ous controls depending on the operating condition, such as at the time of hybrid system starting, at the time of charging should be required, at the time of the air conditioning is in use, etc.
Since the battery is charged by the gasoline engine as needed, it does not require charging from the outside like an electric vehicle. In this way, greatly improved fuel economy and reduced emissions are attained. If you do not use the vehicle for a long time, the hybrid vehicle battery will dis- charge and the battery condition is liable to decline.
to
the
improve
Toyota hybrid system Toyota hybrid system combines the gasoline engine and the electric motor power fuel economy largely and minimize the emissions as well as to provide higher power perfor- mance than the ordinary gasoline–pow- ered vehicles. Depending on the driving condition, the vehicle runs on the best combination of; (cid:1) Gasoline engine power (cid:1) Electric motor power generated by
the gasoline engine
(cid:1) Electric motor power of the hybrid
vehicle battery
Furthermore, the energy is effectively used in the following ways: (cid:1) When stopping the vehicle, the gaso-
line engine is automatically stopped.
(cid:1) When decreasing the speed by apply- ing the brakes, electricity converted from the turning force of the wheels is stored the hybrid vehicle battery. (This is called regenerative brake.)

Electric and gasoline power in use
When starting or backing up, etc., the gasoline engine efficiency worsens, so the vehicle runs on electric power from hybrid vehicle battery.
During normal driving, the vehicle runs mainly on gasoline power. However, the electric motor, using electric power gener- ated by the gasoline engine, makes up for any deficiency of gasoline power. The vehicle controls the optimum ratio of the gasoline and electric power to help save energy more effectively.
When driving at full throttle, electric power is further applied from the hybrid vehicle battery. Vehicle performance impro- ves.

Not in use
When decreasing speed or applying the brakes, the turning force of the wheels the electric motor operate as a makes generator and additional electricity is stored in the hybrid vehicle battery (regen- erative brake).
When stopping, the gasoline engine auto- matically shuts off.
Charging hybrid vehicle battery When the hybrid vehicle battery power is insufficient, the gasoline engine charges the hybrid vehicle battery. The system al- ways supplies electricity at a constant lev- el.

For efficient use of your vehicle Drive your vehicle with a smooth accel- eration and deceleration. (cid:1) When driving, energy is effectively re- covered through the regenerative brake as the vehicle decelerates. However, for more efficient use, do not acceler- ate or decelerate your vehicle more than necessary.
(cid:1) By avoiding abrupt acceleration and de- celeration, the remaining capacity of the hybrid vehicle battery can be pre- served and it makes it possible to run the vehicle utilizing the gasoline engine and the electric power from the hybrid vehicle battery.
(cid:1) The remaining capacity of the hybrid vehicle battery can be confirmed on the energy monitor screen of the multi– information display. See “Information” on 113 page in Section 2–6 for details. As the way in which you drive may decrease the remaining capacity of the hybrid vehicle battery and reduce fuel economy, drive your vehicle without abrupt acceleration or deceleration.
Use the “A/C” mode (with the “A/C” button only on) when you use the air conditioning. (cid:1) As
the gasoline engine starts and stops automatically in this mode, eco- nomical driving with less emissions is possible.

When parking, be sure to put the run- ning mode selector lever in “P” posi- tion. While driving, use “D” position. (cid:1) With the selector lever in “N” position, the gasoline engine operates but elec- tricity generated. The constant electrical power remaining in the hybrid vehicle battery becomes in- sufficient and the battery will be dis- charged.

If the output control warning light ( comes on in the instrument cluster, the hybrid vehicle battery temperature is low or high, or the hybrid vehicle bat- tery capacity is decreased with the se- lector lever at “R” during driving. As it does not indicate the failure of the sys- tem, you can continue driving but avoid hard acceleration because the power is insufficient (which is caused by the bat- tery power deterioration).
Precautions for use The vehicle runs in combination with the gasoline and electric power. Pay special attention to the following items. Be careful of a high voltage and high temperature. Your vehicle is equipped with the orange colored cables connected the hybrid vehicle battery which contain a high volt- age (about 300 V) and to other high volt- age parts.
to
CAUTION
Do not touch or come in contact with orange cables or battery terminals. Electric shock may cause serious in- jury or death. Read all caution labels.
A electric motor, coolant radiator and some other parts reach high temperature when you are driving. Caution labels are applied to these parts. Carefully observe the instructions on these caution labels.
(cid:1) The hybrid system automatically con- trols the level of electrical power re- maining in the hybrid vehicle battery. With the selector lever in a position other than “N”, electricity is generated and charging occurs when the level of electrical power in the hybrid vehicle battery decreases. It is unnecessary to charge the hybrid vehicle battery from outside.
