To deter the vehicle theft, the system is
designed to give an alarm and keep the
engine from being started if any of the
side doors, back door or hood is forci-
bly unlocked or the battery terminal is
disconnected and then reconnected
when the vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlights, tail lights andother exterior lights. The engine cannot
be started because the starter circuit will be cut.SETTING THE SYSTEM
1. Turn the ignition key to the LOCKº
position and remove it.
2. Have all passengers get out of the ve- hicle.
3. Close and lock all the side doors, back
door and hood.
The indicator light will come on when all
the side doors, back door and hood are
closed and locked.
As the side doors are locked, the system
will give you a preparation time of 30 sec-
onds before the setting, during which the
side doors, back door and hood may be
opened to prepare for the setting. Be careful not to use the key when open-
ing either side door. This will cancel the system.
4. After making sure the indicator light
starts fl
ashing, you may leave the vehicle.
The system will automatically be set after the preparation time passes. The indica-
tor light will flash to show the system is
set. If any of the side doors, back door or
hood is open at that time, the setting is in-
terrupted until it is closed and locked. Never leave anyone in the vehicle when you set the system, because unlocking
from the inside will activate the system. WHEN THE SYSTEM IS SET Activating the system
The system will give the alarm and cut the
starter circuit under the following condi- tions: If any of the side doors, back door or
hood is unlocked without using the
key.
If the battery terminal is disconnectedand then reconnected
After one minute, the alarm will automati-
cally stop with the starter circuit cut kept on.
Theft deterrent system

14Reactivating the alarm
Once
set, the system automatically resets
the alarm each time all the side doors, back door and hood are closed after the alarm stops.
The alarm will be activated again under the following conditions: If any of the side doors, back door or
hood is opened
If the battery terminal is disconnectedand then reconnected
Stopping the alarm
Turn the ignition key from the LOCKº to
ACCº position . The alarm will be stopped
with the starter circuit cut kept on. Stop-
ping the alarm in this manner will keep the
alarm from being reactivated when any of
the side doors, back door or hood is opened.
Interrupting the setting When the system set, the back door can
be opened by using the key without set-
ting off the system. While the back door is
open, the setting is interrupted and the
side doors and hood may be opened in
addition. However, when the battery ter-
minal is disconnected and then recon-
nected, the system is activated. Close and lock the side doors and hood,
and the system will automatically be reset
after two seconds when the back door isclosed with the key removed. CANCELLING THE SYSTEM
Unlock either side door with the key. This
cancels the system completely and the
starter ci
rcuit cut will be cancelled at once.
INDICATOR LIGHT
The indicator light gives the following three indications.
FLASHINGÐThe system is set. You
need the key to open the side doors, back
door and hood.
ONÐThe system will automatically be set
when the time comes. The side doors,back door and hood may be opened with-
out a key.
OFFÐThe system is inactive. You may
open any of the side doors, back door and
hood. TESTING THE SYSTEM
1. Open the windows
2. Set the system as described above.
The side doors should be locked with the
key. Be sure to wait until the indicator light
starts flashing.
3. Unlock
either side door from the inside.
The system should activate the alarm.
4. Cancel the system by unlocking either
side door with the key.
5. Repeat this operation for the other side
door, back door and hood. When testing
on the hood, also check that the system is activated when the battery terminal is dis-
connected and then reconnected.
If the system does not work properly, have
it checked by your Toyota dealer.

126Do not connect the cable to or near any
part that moves when the engine is cranked.
NOTICE
When making the connections, do not lean over the battery or
accidentally let the jumper cables or clamps touch anything exceptthe correct battery terminals or the ground.
5. Start your engine in the normal way.
After starting, run it at about 2000 rpm for several minutes with the accelerator ped-
al lightly depressed.
6. Carefully disconnect the cables in the
exact reverse order: the negative cable
and then the positive cable.
7. Carefully dispose of the battery cover
clothsÐthey may now contain sulfuricacid.
8. If removed, replace all the battery vent plugs.
If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent (for example, lights left on), you should have it checked. If your engine stalls while driving
0
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try starting the engine again.
If the engine will not start, see If your ve-
hicle will not startº.If the engine is not running, the
power assist for the brakes and
steering will not work so steering
and braking will be much harder
than usual. CAUTION
! If your engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates overheating, if you
experience a loss of power, or if you
hear a
loud knocking or pinging noise,
the engine has probably overheated.
You should follow this procedure 0
1. Pull safely off the road, stop the vehicle
and turn on your emergency flashers. Put
the transmission in Pº (automatic) or neu-
tral ( manual) and apply the parking brake.
Turn off the air conditioning if it is beingused.
2. If coolant or steam is boiling out of the
radiator or reservoir, stop the engine. Wait
until the steam subsides before opening
the hood. If there is no coolant boiling over or steam, leave the engine running.
To help avoid personal injury, keep
the hood closed until there is no steam. Escaping steam or coolant
is a sign of very high pressure. CAUTION
!
3. Visually check to see if the engine drive
belt (fan belt) is broken or loose. Look for
obvious coolant leaks from the radiator,
hoses, and under the vehicle. However, note that water draining from the air condi-
tioning is normal if it has been used.

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 Part 7.
If you are a skilled do-it-yourself me-
chanic, the Toyota service manuals are recommended. Please be aware that do-
it-yourself maintenance can affect your
warranty coverage. See Owner's Guide,
Owner 's Manual Supplement or W arranty
Booklet for the details. Listed
below are the general maintenance
items that should be performed as fre- quently as specified. In addition to check-
ing the items listed, if you notice any un-
usual noise, smell or vibration, you should
investigate the cause or take your vehicle
to your T oyota dealer or a qualified service
shop immediately. It is recommended thatany problem you notice be brought to theattention of your dealer or the qualified service shop for their advice.
Make these checks only where
adequate ventilation can be ob-
tained if you run the engine. CAUTION
!
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE

When the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, and tools away
from the moving fan and engine
drive belts. (Removing rings,
watches, and ties is advisable.)
Right after driving, the engine
compartmentÐthe engine, radia-
tor, exhaust manifold, power
steering fluid reservoir and spark
plug boots, etc.Ðwill be hot. So be
careful not to touch them. Oil,
fluids and spark plugs may also be
hot.
If the engine is hot, do not remove
the radiator cap or loosen the
drain plugs to prevent burning yourself.
Do not smoke, cause sparks or al-
low open flames around fuel or
the battery. Their fumes are flam- mable.
Be extremely cautious when
working on the battery. It contains
poisonous and corrosive sulfuricacid.
Do not get under your vehicle with
just the body jack supporting it.
Always use automotive jack
stands or other solid supports. CAUTION
!
Be sure that the ignition is off if you
work near the electric cooling fans
or radiator grille. With the ignition
on, the electric cooling fan will au-
tomatically start to run if the engine
coolant temperature is high and/or
the air conditioning is on.
Use eye protection whenever you
work on or under your vehicle
where you may be exposed to fly-
ing or falling material, fluid spray,etc.
Used engine oil contains potential-
ly harmful contaminants which
may cause skin disorders such as
inflammation or skin cancer, so
care should be taken to avoid pro-
longed and repeated contact with
it. To remove used engine oil from
your skin, wash thoroughly with
soap and water.
Do not leave used oil within the reach of children.
Dispose of used oil and filter only
in a safe and acceptable manner.
Do not dispose of used oil and fil-
ter in household trash, in sewers
or onto the ground. Call your deal-
er or a service station for informa-
tion concerning recycling or dis- posal.
Remember that battery and igni-
tion cables carry high currents or
voltages. Be careful of accidental-
ly causing a short circuit.
Add only demineralized or dis-tilled water to fill the radiator. And
if you spill some of the coolant, besure to wash it off with water to
prevent it from damaging the
parts or paint.
Do not overfill automatic trans-mission fluid, or the transmission
could be damaged.
Do not drive with the air cleaner fil-ter removed, or excessive enginewear could result. Also backfiringcould cause a fire in the engine
compartment.
Be careful not to scratch the glasssurface with the wiper frame.
When closing the engine hood,
check to see that you have not for-
gotten any tools, rags, etc.
