Car audio system operating hints

NOTICE

To ensure the correct audio system operation: (cid:3) Be careful not to spill beverages

over the audio system.

(cid:3) Do not put anything other than a cassette tape into the cassette tape slot.

(cid:3) The use of cellular phone inside or near the vehicle may cause a noise from the speakers of the audio sys- tem which you are listening to. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.

RADIO RECEPTION FM broadcasts have a range of about 40
km or 25 miles. When driving away from a station, you may have to fine–tune your radio and turn up the volume as the sta- tion gets weaker. Because FM uses a line–of–sight signal, tall buildings or hills may sometimes block reception. These are all normal characteristics of FM recep- tion and do not indicate any problem with the radio itself.

(cid:1) Avoid using cassettes with a total play- ing time longer than 100 minutes (50
minutes per side). The tape used in these cassette is thin and could get stuck or tangled in the cassette player.

CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER AND TAPES For the best performance for your cas- sette player and tapes: Clean the tape head and other parts regu- larly. (cid:1) A dirty

tape head or tape path can decrease sound quality and tangle your cassette to clean them is by using a cleaning tape. (A wet type is recommended.)

To turn off the air conditioning, push the “A/C” button. With the “MAX” button on, the gasoline engine is frequently used. The air conditioning may not turn on with the selector lever in “N” position because the gasoline engine cannot start. If the “A/C” button indicator flashes, there is a problem in the air conditioning system and the air conditioning automatically shuts off. If this happens, take your ve- hicle to your Toyota dealer for service.

For economical and environment–friend- ly use Usually, use the air conditioning with the “A/C” button on (economical and environ- ment–friendly cooling). In this mode the gasoline engine starts and stops automatically and good fuel economy driving is achieved. To use the air conditioning in economi- cal and environment–friendly way, we recommend the following setting: 1. Lower

the setting temperature if you feel a little hot with the “A/C” button on.

2. If you feel still hot with the “A/C” but- ton on, push the “MAX” button also. After the compartment cools, turn off the “MAX” mode only.

Operating tips (cid:1) 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.

(cid:1) Make sure the air intake grilles in front of the windshield are not blocked (by leaves or snow, for example).

(cid:1) 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.

(cid:1) Keep the area under the front seats clear to allow air to circulate through- out the vehicle.

for a minute

(cid:1) On cold days, move the fan speed to “HI” the intake ducts of snow or moisture. This can reduce the amount of fogging on the windows.

to help clear

(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 recommended that the air intake selector be set to FRESH and the fan speed selector to any setting except “OFF”.

(cid:1) If following another vehicle on a dusty road, or driving in windy and dusty conditions, it is recommended that the air intake selector be temporarily set to RECIRCULATE, which will close off the outside passage and prevent outside air and dust from entering the vehicle interior.

Do–it–yourself service precautions If you perform maintenance by yourself, be sure to follow the correct procedure given in this Section. You should be aware that improper or in- complete servicing may result in operating problems. Performing do–it–yourself maintenance during the warranty period may affect your warranty coverage. Read the separate Toyota Warranty statement for details and suggestions. This Section gives for those items that are relatively easy for an owner to perform. As explained in Section 7, there are still a number of items that must be done by a qualified technician with special tools. For information on tools and parts for do– it–yourself maintenance, see ”Parts and tools” on page 205 in this Section. Utmost care should be taken when work- ing on your vehicle to prevent accidental injury. Here are a few precautions that you should be especially careful to ob- serve:

CAUTION

Be careful not to touch the hot ex- haust manifold.

If the oil level is below or only slightly above the low level, add engine oil of the same type as already in the engine. Remove the oil filler cap and add engine oil in small quantities at a time, checking the dipstick. The approximate quantity of oil needed to fill between the low level and the full level on the dipstick is indicated below for ref- erence. When the level reaches within the correct range, install the filler cap hand–tight. Oil quantity, L (qt., Imp. qt.):

1.5 (1.6, 1.3)

NOTICE

(cid:2) Avoid overfilling, or the hybrid sys-

tem could be damaged.

(cid:2) Check the oil level on the dipstick

once again after adding the oil.

ENGINE OIL SELECTION Use API grade SJ, ”Energy–Conserving” or ILSAC multigrade engine oil. Recommended viscosity (SAE):

OIL05u

for good

SAE 5W–30 is the best choice for your vehicle, fuel economy, and good starting in cold weather. If you use SAE 10W–30 engine oil in extremely low temperatures, the engine may become difficult to start, so SAE 5W–30 engine oil is recommended.

Oil identification marks Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil containers to help you select the oil you should use. The API Service Symbol is located any- where on the outside of the container. The top portion of the label shows the oil quality by API (American Petroleum Insti- tute) designations such as SJ. The center portion of the label shows the SAE viscos- ity grade such as SAE 5W–30. “Energy– Conserving” shown in the lower portion, indicates that the oil has fuel–saving ca- pabilities. The ILSAC (International Lubricant Stan- dardization and Approval Committee) Certi- fication Mark is displayed on the front of the container.

Checking the coolant level Look at the see–through coolant reser- voir when the hybrid system is cold. The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” and “LOW” lines on the reservoir. If the level is low, add ethylene–glycol type coolant for a prop- er corrosion protection of aluminum components. The coolant level in the reservoir will vary with hybrid system temperature. However, if the level is on or below the “LOW” line, add coolant. Bring to the “FULL” line. Always use ethylene–glycol type coolant for a proper corrosion protection of alumi- num components. See information in the next column. If the coolant level drops within a short time after replenishing, there may be a leak the radiator, hoses, radiator cap and drain cock and water pump. If you can find no leak, have your Toyota dealer test the cap pressure and check for leaks in the cooling system.

We recommend to use 50% solution for your Toyota, to provide protection down to about –35°C (–31°F). When it is extremely cold, to provide protection down to about –50°C (–58°F), 60% solution is recom- mended. Do not use more than 70% solu- tion for better coolant performance.

NOTICE

Do not use alcohol type antifreeze or plain water alone.

reservoir. The

To check the fluid level, simply look at the see–through level should be between the ”MAX” and ”MIN” lines on the reservoir. It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high. If the reservoir needs frequent refueling, it may indicate a serious mechanical prob- lem.

CAUTION

To prevent burning yourself, do not remove the radiator cap when the en- gine is hot.

Coolant type selection Use of improper coolants may damage your cooling system. Your coolant must contain ethylene–glycol type coolant for a proper corrosion protection of your hybrid system that contains aluminum compo- nents. Use “TOYOTA Long Life Coolant” or equivalent. In addition to preventing freezing and sub- sequent damage to the hybrid system, this type of coolant will also prevent corrosion. Further supplemental inhibitors or additives are neither needed nor recommended. Read the coolant container for information on freeze protection. Follow the manufac- turer’s directions to mix with plain water (preferably demineralized water of distilled water). The total capacity of the cooling system is given on page 234 in Section 9.

If the level is low, add SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3 brake fluid to the brake reservoir. Refilling brake fluid: 1. Turn the ignition switch off. 2. Depress the brake pedal more than 40

times.

3. Remove

the reservoir cap by hand. Add brake fluid up to the ”MAX” line. If you do not follow the procedure above, the reservoir may overflow. Use only newly opened brake fluid. Once opened, brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, and excess moisture can cause a dangerous loss of braking.

CAUTION

Take care when filling the reservoir because brake fluid can harm your eyes and damage painted surfaces. If fluid gets in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water immediately. If you still feel uncomfortable with your eyes, go to the doctor.

NOTICE

If you spill the fluid, be sure to wipe it off to prevent it from damaging the parts or painting.

Checking and replacing the air conditioning filter

82p006a

The air conditioning filter may clog af- ter long use. The filter may need to be replaced if the air flow of the air condi- tioning and heater experiences extreme reductions in operating efficiency, or if the windows become to fog up easily. The air conditioning filter is set behind the glove box. To maintain the air conditioning efficiency, inspect and replace the air conditioning filter according to the maintenance sched- ule.

211

1. Open the glove box. Turn and pull out 2 pins located on both sides. Pull down the glove box.

2. Pull the filter case toward you to

take it out.

3. Remove the filter from the filter case

and replace it with a new one.

212

4. Install the filter and filter case in the

reverse order of removal.

Set the filter in the filter case correctly.

NOTICE

Do not drive with the air conditioning filter removed, or the efficiency of the air conditioning may be lost.

Checking tire pressure

82p003

Keep your tire pressures at the proper level. The recommended cold tire pressures, tire size and the vehicle capacity weight are given on page 235 in Section 9. They are also on the tire pressure label as shown. You should check the tire pressures every two weeks, or at least once a month. And do not forget the spare! Incorrect tire pressure can reduce tire life and make your vehicle less safe to drive.

is excessively

Low in excessive wear, poor handling, reduced fuel econo- my, and the possibility of blowouts from overheated tires. Also, low tire pressure can cause poor sealing of the tire bead. If low, there is the possibility of wheel deforma- tion and/or tire separation. High tire pressure produces a harsh ride, handling problems, excessive wear at the center of the tire tread, and a greater possibility of tire damage from road haz- ards. If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it checked by your Toyota dealer. The following instructions for checking tire pressure should be observed: (cid:1) The pressure should be checked only when the tires are cold. If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3
hours and has not been driven for more than 1.5 km or 1 mile since, you
