CAUTION!
Before driving, be sure that the
doors are closed and locked, espe-
cially when small children are in the
vehicle. A long with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle during an accident. It also
helps prevent the doors from being
opened unintentionally.
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each door.
The power windows work when the igni- tion switch is in the ONº position. Howev-
er, if both doors are closed, they work for 60 seconds even after the ignition switch
is turned off. They stop working when ei-ther door is opened.

This indicator comes on when the
ignition key is turned to the ACCº or
ONº position. It goes off after about 6
seconds. This means the SRS airbag
is operating properly.
The SRS airbag warning light system
monitors the front airbag sensors, inflat- ors, warning light, interconnecting wiring
and power sources.The SRS airbag system is designed to
activate in response to a severe frontal
impact within the shaded area be-
tween the arrows in the illustration.
The SRS airbags will deploy if the severity
of the impact is above the designed
threshold level, comparable to an approxi-
mate 20 km/h (14 mph) collision when im-
pacting straight into a fixed barrier that
does not move or deform.
If the severity of the impact is below the
above threshold level, the SRS airbag
may not deploy. However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher if the vehicle strikes
an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign
pole, which can move or deform on im-
pact, or if it is
involved in an underride col-
lision (e.g. a collision in which the noise of
the vehicle underridesº, or goes under, the bed of a truck).
For the safety of all occupants, be sure to
always wear your seat belts.

CAUTION!
Do not put objects on the steering
wheel pad. They might restrict infla-
tion or cause serious injury as they
are projected rearward.
Do not modify, remove or open any
component or wiring, such as the
steering wheel, column cover, cen- ter airbag sensor assembly or front
airbag sensors. Doing any of these
may cause sudden SRS airbag infla-
tion or disable the system, which
could result in personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in severe injuries.
NOTICE
Do not perform any of the following changes without consulting your
Toyota dealer. Such changes can interfere with proper operation ofthe SRS airbag system in some cases.
Installation of electronic itemssuch as a mobile two-way radio,
cassette tape player or compactdisc player
Modification of the suspensionsystem
Modification of the front end
structure
Attachment of a grille guard (bullbar, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow-
plow winches or any other equip-ment to the front end
Repairs made on or nearthe frontfenders, the front end structure,
console, steering column or steer-
ing wheel
This SRS airbag system has a service re-
minder indicator to inf orm the driver of op-
erating problems. If either of the following
conditions occurs, this indicates a mal-
function of the airbags. Contact your To-
yota dealer as soon as possible to service
the vehicle. The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the ACCº or
ONº position, or remains on.
The light comes on while driving.

The gauge works when the ignition
switch is on and indicates the approxi-
mate quantity of fuel remaining in the tank.
It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4 full.
The needle moves when braking, acceler-
ating or making turns. This is caused by the fuel moving in the tank.
If the level approaches Eº or the low fuel
level warning light comes on, fill the fuel
tank as soon as possible.
If the fuel tank is completely empty, the malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill
the fuel tank immediately. The indicator lamp goes off after driving
several times. If the indicator lamp does
not go off, contact your Toyota dealer assoon as possible.
