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. It is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordi- nary passenger cars any more than low–slung sports cars designed to per- off–road form under conditions. Therefore, sharp turns at excessive speeds may cause rollover. satisfactorily CAUTION Always observe the following precau- tions to minimize the risk of serious personal injury or damage to your ve- hicle: (cid:1) 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. (cid:1) 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. (cid:1) Avoid loading any items on the roof that will raise the vehicle’s center of gravity. (cid:1) Always slow down in gusty cross- winds. Because of its profile and higher center of gravity, your ve- hicle to side winds than an ordinary passenger car. Slowing down will allow you to have better control. is more sensitive 172 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) jump, make sharp (cid:1) When driving off–road or in rugged terrain, do not drive at excessive speeds, 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. (cid:1) 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. 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 1600 km (1000 miles) can add to the future economy and long life of your vehicle: (cid:1) Do not drive over 88 km/h (55 mph). (cid:1) Run the engine at moderate speed be- tween 2000 and 4000 rpm. (cid:1) Avoid full–throttle starts. (cid:1) Try to avoid hard stops during the first 300 km (200 miles). (cid:1) Do not drive slowly with the manual transmission in a high gear. (cid:1) Do not drive for a long time at any single speed, either fast or slow. (cid:1) Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500 miles). Fuel FUEL TYPE Your new vehicle must use only un- leaded gasoline. To help prevent gas station mix–ups, your Toyota 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. the gasoline you use At a minimum, should meet specifications of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB 3.5–M93 in Canada. 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. Also, this can increase maintenance costs. 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) 173 ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) for quality QUALITY GASOLINE Automotive manufacturers in the U.S., Europe and Japan have developed a specification fuel named World–Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) that is expected to be applied world wide. The WWFC consists of three categories that depend on required emission lev- els. In the U.S., category 3 has been adopted. The WWFC improves air quali- ty by providing for better emissions in vehicle fleets, and customer satisfaction through better vehicle performance. CLEANER BURNING GASOLINE Cleaner burning gasoline, including re- formulated gasoline that contains oxy- genates such as ethanol or MTBE is available in many areas. Toyota recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriately blended reformulated gasoline. These types of gas- oline provide excellent vehicle perfor- mance, reduce vehicle emissions, and im- prove air quality. If you use gasohol OXYGENATES IN GASOLINE Toyota allows the use of oxygenate blended gasoline where the oxygenate content is up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE. in your Toyota, be sure that it has an octane rating no lower than 87. Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol. GASOLINE CONTAINING MMT Some gasoline contain an octane en- hancing additive called MMT (Methylcy- clopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl). Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel con- taining MMT is used, your emission con- trol system may be adversely affected. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the in- strument cluster may come on. If this hap- pens, contact your Toyota dealer for ser- vice. GASOLINE QUALITY In a very few cases, you may experience driveability problems caused by the partic- ular gasoline that you are using. If you continue to have unacceptable driveability, try changing gasoline brands. If this does not rectify your problem, then consult your Toyota dealer. fuel, or the recommended OCTANE RATING Select Octane Rating 87 (Research Oc- tane Number 91) or higher. Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating or research octane number lower than stated above will cause persistent heavy knocking. If it is severe, this will lead to engine damage. If your engine knocks... If you detect heavy knocking even when using if you hear steady knocking while holding a steady speed on level roads, consult your Toyota dealer. However, now and then, you may notice light knocking for a short time while accel- erating or driving up hills. This is no need of concern. GASOLINE CONTAINING DETERGENT ADDITIVES Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to avoid build–up of engine deposits. However, all gasoline sold the U.S. contains detergent additives to keep clean and/or clean intake systems. in 174 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) NOTICE (cid:2) Do not use gasohol other than stated above. It will cause fuel sys- tem damage or vehicle performance problems. (cid:2) If driveability problems occur (poor hot starting, vaporizing, engine knock, etc.), discontinue the use. (cid:2) Take care not to spill gasohol dur- ing refueling. Gasohol may cause paint damage. FUEL TANK CAPACITY 100 L (26.4 gal., 22.0 Imp. gal.) Three–way catalytic converters Operation in foreign countries If you plan to drive your Toyota another country... First, comply with the vehicle registration laws. Second, confirm the availability of the cor- rect fuel (unleaded and minimum octane number). in 5VZ–FE engine 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) 175 2UZ–FE engine ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) The three–way catalytic converter is an emission control device installed in the exhaust system. The purpose is to reduce pollutants in the exhaust gas. CAUTION (cid:1) Keep people and combustible mate- rials away from the exhaust pipe while the engine is running. The exhaust gas is very hot. (cid:1) Do not idle or park your vehicle over anything that might burn easi- ly such as grass, leaves, paper or rags. NOTICE A large amount of unburned gases flowing into the three–way catalytic converter may cause it to overheat and create a fire hazard. To prevent this and other damage, observe the following precautions: (cid:2) Use only unleaded gasoline. (cid:2) Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level; running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, creat- ing an excessive load on the three– way catalytic converter. (cid:2) Do not allow the engine to run at idle speed for more than 20 minu- tes. (cid:2) Avoid racing the engine. (cid:2) Do not push–start or pull–start your vehicle. (cid:2) Do not turn off the ignition while the vehicle is moving. (cid:2) Keep your engine in good running order. Malfunctions in the engine electrical system, electronic ignition system/distributor ignition system or fuel systems could cause an ex- tremely high three–way catalytic converter temperature. (cid:2) If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, take your vehicle in for a check–up as soon as possible. Remember, your Toyota dealer knows your vehicle and its three–way catalytic converter sys- tem best. (cid:2) To ensure that the three–way cata- lytic converter and the entire emis- sion control system operate proper- ly, your vehicle must receive the periodic inspections required by the Toyota Maintenance Schedule. For scheduled maintenance information, refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supple- ment”. 176 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) Engine exhaust cautions CAUTION (cid:1) Avoid inhaling the engine exhaust. It contains carbon monoxide, which is a colorless and odorless gas. It can cause unconsciousness or even death. (cid:1) Make sure the exhaust system has no holes or loose connections. The system should be checked from time to time. If you hit something, or notice a change in the sound of the the system exhaust, have checked immediately. (cid:1) Do not run the engine in a garage or enclosed area except the time needed to drive the vehicle in or out. The exhaust gases cannot escape, making this a particularly dangerous situation. for (cid:1) 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. (cid:1) 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. (cid:1) If you smell exhaust fumes in the vehicle, drive with the windows open. Have the cause immediately located and corrected. (cid:1) 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. 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. (cid:1) 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 temperature combustion gases during the combustion process. (cid:1) Oil is also used to lubricate the stems of the intake valves. Some of this oil is sucked into the combustion chamber together with is burned along with the fuel. High tem- perature exhaust gases also burn the oil used to lubricate the exhaust valve stems. intake air and the high the 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) 177 ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) Twin ground electrode spark plugs (5VZ–FE engine) 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 that the oil level be checked regularly. Toyota recommends that the oil level be checked every time you refuel the vehicle. NOTICE Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine trouble due to insufficient oil. For detailed information on oil level check, see “Checking the engine oil level” in Sec- tion 7–2. 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. More oil is consumed by high–speed driv- 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. 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- mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not 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. 178 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) Your engine is fitted with twin ground electrode spark plugs. NOTICE Use only twin ground electrode spark plugs for your engine performance. ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) Brake system The tandem master cylinder brake system is a hydraulic system with two separate sub–systems. If either sub–system should fail, the other will still work. However, the pedal will be harder to press, and your stopping distance will be longer. Also, the brake system warning light may come on. CAUTION Do not drive your vehicle with only a single brake system. Have your brakes fixed immediately. the brakes. BRAKE BOOSTER The brake booster uses engine vacuum to power–assist the engine should quit while you are driving, you can bring the vehicle to a stop with normal pedal pressure. There is enough reserved vacuum two stops—but no more! for one or If CAUTION (cid:1) Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls. Each push on the pedal uses up your reserved vacu- um. lost, (cid:1) Even if the power assist is com- pletely the brakes will still work. But you will have to push the pedal hard, much harder than nor- mal. And your braking distance will be longer. ANTI–LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (with “ABS” warning light) The anti–lock brake system is designed to help prevent lock–up of the wheels during a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. This assists in providing directional stability and steer- ing performance of the vehicle under these circumstances. this situation, 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 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. let to 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). the brake pedal on slippery Depressing road surfaces such as on the manhole cover, the steel plate under the construc- tion, joints in the bridge, etc. on a rainy day tends to activate the anti–lock brake system. 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 is started. This means that the anti–lock brake system the self– check mode, and does not indicate a mal- function. in is 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) 179 ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) When the anti–lock brake system is ac- tivated, the following conditions may occur. They do not indicate a malfunc- tion of the system: (cid:1) 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. (cid:1) At the end of the anti–lock brake sys- the brake pedal may tem activation, move a little forward. CAUTION Do not overestimate the anti–lock brake system: Although the anti–lock brake system assists in providing ve- hicle control, it is still 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. If tires grip performance exceeds its capability, or if hydroplaning occurs during high speed driving in the rain, the anti–lock brake system does not provide vehicle control. 180 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) the vehicle Anti–lock brake system is not de- signed to shorten the stopping dis- tance: Always drive at the moderate speed and maintain a safe distance from 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: (cid:1) Driving on rough, gravel or snow– in covered roads. (cid:1) Driving with tire chains installed. (cid:1) Driving over the steps such as the joints on the road. (cid:1) 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 longer stopping dis- tance. in a ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) “ABS” Warning light 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 is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the anti–lock brake system does not operate, but the brake system still operates con- ventionally. When the “ABS” warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), 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. the following conditions If either of occurs, indicates a malfunction this 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 “ON” posi- tion, or remains on. (cid:1) The light comes on while you are driv- ing. 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) A warning light turning on briefly during operation does not indicate a problem. 181 Type A Type B ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) Brake pad wear limit indicators The brake pad wear limit indicators on your disc brakes give a warning noise when the brake pads are worn to where replacement is required. If you hear a squealing or scraping noise the brake pads while driving, have checked and replaced by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. Expensive ro- tor damage can result if the pads are not replaced when necessary. in the luggage or cargo Luggage stowage precautions When stowing vehicle, observe the following: (cid:1) Put luggage or cargo in the rear deck when at all possible. Be sure all items are secured in place. to keep the vehicle bal- anced. Locating the weight as far for- ward as possible helps maintain bal- ance.

Theft prevention labels (except for Canada) Your new vehicle carries theft preven- tion labels which are approximately 56 mm (2.20 in.) by 16 mm (0.63 in.). The purpose of these labels is to reduce the incidence of vehicle thefts by facilitat- ing the tracing and recovery of parts from stolen vehicles. The label is designed so that once it is applied to a surface, any attempt to remove it will result in destroy- ing the integrity of the label. Transferring these labels intact from one part to anoth- er, will be impossible. NOTICE You should not attempt to remove the theft prevention labels as it may vio- late certain state or federal laws. 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) 185 ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) CAUTION (cid:1) Do not mix summer and all season tires on your vehicle as this can cause dangerous handling charac- teristics, resulting in loss of con- trol. (cid:1) Do not use tires other than the manufacturer’s designated tires, and never mix tires or wheels of the sizes different from the originals. Types of tires Determine what kind of tires your ve- hicle is originally equipped with. 1. Summer tires Summer tires are high–speed capability tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, sum- mer tires are inadequate for driving on snow–covered or icy roads. For driving on snow–covered or icy roads, we recom- mend using snow tires. If installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires. 2. All season tires All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use all year round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in accel- eration performance compared with summer tires in highway driving. handling and 186 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) WE REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU — PLEASE BUCKLE UP Toyota has made a special effort to encourage use of seat belts.

You can start a cold or hot engine as follows: 1. With your foot off the accelerator ped- al, crank the engine by turning the key to “START”. Release it when the en- gine starts. 2. After the engine runs for about 10 se- conds, you are ready to drive. If the weather is below freezing, let the engine warm up for a few minutes before driving. If the engine stalls... Simply restart it, using the correct proce- dure given in normal starting. If the engine will not start... See “If your vehicle will not start” in Sec- tion 4. NOTICE (cid:3) Do not crank for more than 30 se- conds at a time. This may overheat the starter and wiring systems. (cid:3) Do not race a cold engine. (cid:3) If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have the engine checked immediately. ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) (cid:1) Four–wheel drive models—Toyota rec- ommends not using four–wheel drive on dry hard–surfaced roads, because four– wheel driving will cause unnecessary noise and wear, and poor fuel econo- my. (cid:1) Four–wheel drive models—In cold tem- peratures, noise may occur when driv- ing in two–wheel drive before the trans- fer is warmed up. Therefore, first drive in four–wheel drive until the transfer is warmed up. Tips for driving in various conditions (cid:1) Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. This will allow you much better control. (cid:1) Drive slowly onto curbs and, if pos- sible, at a right angle. Avoid driving onto high, sharp–edged objects and other road hazards. Failure to do so can lead to severe tire damage result- ing in tire bursts. they (cid:1) When parking on a hill, turn the front wheels until touch the curb so that the vehicle will not roll. Apply the parking brake, and place the transmis- sion in “P” (automatic) or in first or reverse (manual). If necessary, block the wheels. (cid:1) Washing your vehicle or driving through deep water may get the brakes wet. To see whether they are wet, check that there is no traffic near you, and then press the pedal lightly. If you do not feel a normal braking force, the brakes are probably wet. To dry them, drive the vehicle cautiously while lightly pressing the brake pedal with the park- ing brake applied. If they still do not work safely, pull to the side of the road and call a Toyota dealer for assistance. 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) 189 ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) CAUTION (cid:1) Before driving off, make sure that the parking brake is fully released and reminder light is off. the parking brake (cid:1) Do not leave your vehicle unat- tended while the engine is running. (cid:1) Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving. It can cause dangerous overheating, needless wear, and poor fuel economy. (cid:1) To drive down a long or steep hill, reduce your speed and downshift. Remember, if you ride the brakes excessively, they may overheat and not work properly. (cid:1) Be careful when accelerating, up- shifting, downshifting or braking on a slippery surface. Sudden accelera- tion or engine braking could cause the vehicle to spin or skid. tire dealer (cid:1) Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit permits it, do not drive over 140 km/h (85 mph) unless your vehicle has high–speed capability tires. Driving over 140 km/h (85 mph) may result in tire failure, loss of control and possible injury.

Drive your vehicle only in areas where off–road vehicles are permitted to trav- el. b. Respect private property. Get owner’s permission before entering private prop- erty. c. Do not enter areas that are closed. Honor gates, barriers and signs that re- strict travel. d. Stay on established roads. When condi- tions are wet, driving techniques should be changed or travel delayed to pre- vent damage to roads. For owners in U.S. mainland, Hawaii and Puerto Rico: To obtain additional information pertaining to driving your vehicle off–road, consult the following organizations. (cid:1) State and Local Parks and Recreation Departments (cid:1) State Motor Vehicle Bureau (cid:1) Recreational Vehicle Clubs ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) (cid:1) U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management CAUTION Always observe the following precau- tions to minimize the risk of serious personal injury or damage to your ve- hicle: (cid:1) Drive carefully when off the road. Do not take unnecessary risks by driving in dangerous places. (cid:1) Do not grip the steering wheel spokes when driving off–road. A bad bump could jerk the wheel and injure your hands. Keep both hands and especially your thumbs on the outside of the rim. (cid:1) Always check your brakes for effec- tiveness immediately after driving in sand, mud, water or snow. (cid:1) After driving through tall grass, mud, rock, sand, rivers, etc., check that there is no grass, bush, paper, rags, stone, sand, etc. adhering or trapped on the underbody. Clear off any such matter from the under- body. If the vehicle is used with these materials trapped or adhering to the underbody, a breakdown or fire could occur. (cid:1) 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. jump, make sharp (cid:1) When driving off–road or in rugged terrain, do not drive at excessive speeds, 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. NOTICE (cid:3) If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check the depth of the water and the bottom of the river bed for firmness. Drive slowly and avoid deep water. (cid:3) Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the engine or other components does not occur. Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage. Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and premature failure, and may also en- ter the differentials, transmission and transfer case, reducing the gear oil’s lubricating qualities. (cid:3) Sand and mud that has accumulated in brake drums and around brake discs may affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system com- ponents. 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) 191 ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) (cid:3) Always perform a maintenance in- spection after each day of off–road driving that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or water. For scheduled maintenance in- formation, refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”. Winter driving tips Make sure you have a proper freeze protection of engine coolant. Your coolant must contain ethylene–glycol type corrosion protection of aluminum components. Use “TOYOTA Long Life Coolant” or equivalent. See Section 7–2 for details about coolant type selection. for a proper coolant NOTICE Do not use alcohol type antifreeze or plain water alone. When it is extremely cold, we recommend to use 60% solution for your Toyota, to provide protection down to about –50(cid:2)C (–58(cid:2)F). Do not use more than 70% solu- tion for better coolant performance. Check the condition of the battery and cables. Cold temperatures reduce the capacity of any battery, so it must be in top shape to provide enough power for winter start- ing. Section 7–3 tells you how to visually inspect the battery. Your Toyota dealer and most service stations will be pleased to check the level of charge. 192 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) Make sure the engine oil viscosity is suitable for the cold weather. See Section 7–2 for recommended viscos- ity. Leaving a heavy summer oil in your vehicle during winter months may cause harder starting. If you are not sure about which oil to use, call your Toyota deal- er—he will be pleased to help. Keep the door locks from freezing. Squirt lock de–icer or glycerine into the locks to keep them from freezing. To open a frozen lock, try heating the key before inserting it. Use a washer fluid containing an anti- freeze solution. This product is available at your Toyota dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for how much to mix with water. NOTICE Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute because it may dam- age your vehicle’s paint. into in and around Do not use your parking brake when there is a possibility it could freeze. When parking, put the transmission into “P” (automatic) or first or reverse (manual) and block the front wheels. Do not use the parking brake, or snow or water accumulated the freeze, parking brake mechanism may making it hard to release. Keep ice and snow from accumulating under the fenders. Ice and snow built up under your fenders can make steering difficult. During bad winter driving, stop and check under the fenders occasionally. Depending on where you are driving, we recommend you carry some emer- gency equipment. Some of the things you might put in the vehicle are tire chains, window scraper, bag of sand or salt, flares, small shovel, jumper cables, etc. ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) Dinghy towing Your vehicle to be dinghy towed (with four wheels on the ground) behind a motorhome. is not designed NOTICE Do not tow your vehicle with four wheels on the ground. This may cause serious damage to your vehicle. Trailer towing Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger–and–load–carrying vehicle. Tow- ing a trailer will have an adverse effect on handling, performance, braking, durability and driving economy (fuel consumption, etc.). Your safety and satisfaction depend on the proper use of correct equipment and cautious driving habits. For your safe- ty and the safety of others, you must not overload your vehicle or trailer. Ask your local Toyota dealer for further details be- fore towing. We recommend you use a weight distribut- ing hitch when towing to keep your ve- hicle level with the ground. NOTICE When towing a trailer, be sure to con- sult your Toyota dealer for further in- formation on additional requirements such as a towing kit, etc. WEIGHT LIMITS Before towing, make sure the total trail- er weight, gross combination weight, gross vehicle weight, gross axle weight and trailer tongue load are all within the limits. 2002 MY TUNDRA_U (OM34417U) 193 ’02 TUNDRA_U (L/O 0108) Four–wheel drive models Access cab models for Canada 5VZ–FE engine 2245 kg (4950 lb.) 2UZ–FE engine Two–wheel drive models SR5 grade 3265 kg (7200 lb.)
