LUBRICATION OIL AND FILTER
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result
in the removal of natural fats from the skin, leading to dry-
ness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil
contains potentially harmful contaminants which may
cause skin cancer.Care should be taken, therefore, when
changing engine oil to minimize the frequency and length
of time your skin is exposed to used engine oil. Protective
clothing and gloves that cannot be penetrated by oil should
be worn. The skin should be thoroughly washed with soap
and water, or use water−less hand cleaner, to remove any
used engine oil. Do not used gasoline, thinners, or sol-
vents.In order to preserve the environment, used oil and
used oil filters must be disposed of only at designated dis-
posal sites.

INSIDE VEHICLE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The owners are responsible for these maintenance and inspection items.
They can be done by the owner or they can have them done at a service sh\
op.
These items include those which should be checked on a daily basis, thos\
e which, in most cases, do not
require (special) tools and those which are considered to be reasonabl\
e for the owner to do.
Items and procedures for general maintenance are as follows.
1. GENERAL NOTES
Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner’s manual supplement in which
the maintenance schedule is shown.
Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performe\
d.
Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in\
the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time inter\
val (months).
Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval \
as before unless
otherwise noted.
Failure to do even one item can cause the engine to run poorly and incre\
ase exhaust emissions.
2. LIGHTS
(a) Check that the headlights, stop lights, taillights, turn signal lights, \
and other lights are all working.
(b) Check the headlights aim.
3. WARNING LIGHTS AND BUZZERS

Check for scratches, pits or abrasions.
6. WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
(a) Check operation of the wipers and washer.
(b) Check that the wipers do not streak.
7. WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER
Check that air comes out from the defroster outlet when operating the heater \
or air conditioner at defroster
mode.
8. REAR VIEW MIRROR
Check that it is mounted securely.
9. SUN VISORS
Check that they move freely and mounted securely.
10. STEELING WHEEL
Check that it has the specified freeplay. Be alert for changes in steering condition, such as hard steering,
excessive freeplay or strange noises.
11. SEATS
(a) Check that all front seat controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recl\
iner, etc. operate smoothly.
(b) Check that all latches lock securely in any position.
(c) Check that the head restraints move up and down smoothly and that the lo\
cks hold securely in any latch position.
(d) For folding −down rear seat backs, check that the latches look securely.
12. SEAT BELTS
(a) Check that the seat belt system such as buckles, retractors and anchors operat\
e properly and smooth-
ly.
(b) Check that the belt webbing is not cut, frayed, worn or damaged.

(a) Check all brake lines and hoses.
Check for damage.
Check for wear.
Check for deformation.
Check for cracks.
Check for corrosion.
Check for leaks.
Check for bends.
Check for twists.
(b) Check all clamps for tightness and connections for leak- age.
(c) Check that the hoses and lines are clear of sharp edges, moving parts and the exhaust system.
(d) Check that the lines installed in grommets pass through the center of the grommets.
2. INSPECT FRONT BRAKE P ADS AND DISCS (See page

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM SRS AIRBAG
RS−1
1100
Author: Date:
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
SRS AIRBAG
PRECAUTION
NOTICE:
The LAND CRUISER is equipped with an SRS , which comprises a driver airbag \
and a front pas-
senger airbag. Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the
SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serio\
us accident. Further,
if a mistake is made in servicing the SRS, it is possible the SRS may fail to\
operate when re-
quired. Before performing servicing (including removal or installation \
of parts, inspection or
replacement), be sure to read the following items carefully, then follow the correct procedure
described in the repair manual.
Malfunction symptoms of the SRS are difficult to confirm, so the DTCs become the mos\
t impor-
tant source of information when troubleshooting. When troubleshooting th\
e SRS, always in-
spect the DTCs before disconnecting the battery.
Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, the steering wheel pad, front
passenger airbag assembly, and airbag sensor assembly should be inspected (See pages
RS−9 , RS−23 and RS−34 )
Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with \
new parts.
Never disassemble and repair the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly , or air-
bag sensor assembly in order to reuse it.
If the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly or airbag sen\
sor assembly have
been dropped, or if there are cracks, dents or other defects in the case, br\
acket or connector,
replace them with new ones.
Use a volt/ohmmeter wi th high impedance (10 k Ω/V minimum) for troubleshooting the system’s
electrical circuits.
Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the instruc-
tions on the notices.
After work on the SRS is completed, check the SRS warning light (See pa\
ge DI−240).
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the precaution in the
IN section.
CAUTION:
Work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the ignition switch is t\
urned to the ”LOCK”
position and the negative ( −) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.
(The SRS is equipped with a back− up power source so that if work is started within 90 seconds
of disconnecting the negative ( −) terminal cable of the battery, the SRS may be deployed.)
When the negative (−) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the memory of the clock
and audio system will be canceled. So before starting work, make a record o\
f the contents mem-
orized in the audio memory system. When work is finished, reset the audio syst\
ems as they
were before and adjust the clock. To avoid erasing the memory of each memory system, never
use a back−up power supply from outside the vehicle.
Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor if shocks are likely to be applied to the senso\
r during
repairs.
Do not expose the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, or airbag sensor as-
sembly directly to hot air or flames.
