The voltmeter tells whether the battary 
is charged or discharged. Check it 
while the engine is runningÐthe
needle should always indicates as
shown above. 
If the needle reads below or above the normal range while the engine is running,
it indicates the charging system needs im-
mediate repair. 
However, it is normal for the needle to 
drop below the normal range during en-
gine starting.The tachometer indicates engine 
speed in thousands of rpm (revolu- 
tions per minute). Use it while driving
to select correct shift points and to
prevent engine lugging and overfeed- ing. 
Driving with the engine running too fast 
causes excessive engine wear and poor 
fuel economy. Remember, in most cases 
the slower the engine speed, the greater 
the fuel economy.
NOTICE
Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone. This may cause
severe engine damage.
The odometer records the total dis- 
tance the vehicle has been driven. The 
trip meter may be set to zero to record
the distance on each trip. To reset the
trip meter, press the trip meter reset knob. 
The black digits on white indicate tenths of kilometers or miles.

To avoid accidental cruise control 
engagement, keep the CRUISE 
ON-OFFº  switch off when not using
the cruise control. CAUTION
!
SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED 
On vehicles with automatic transmission, 
the transmission must be in Dº beforeyou set the cruise control speed. 
Bring your vehicle to the desired speed, push the lever down in the SET/COASTº
direction and release it. This sets the ve- 
hicle at  that speed. If the speed is not sat-
isfactory, tap the lever up for a faster 
speed, or tap it down for a slower speed. 
Each tap changes the set speed by 1.6 
km/h (1.0 mph). You can now take your
foot off the accelerator pedal. 
If you need acceleration Ð for example, 
when passingÐdepress the accelerator 
pedal  enough for the vehicle to exceed the
set speed. When you release it, the ve-
hicle  will return to the speed set prior to the
acceleration.
For manual transmission: 
While  driving with the cruise control
on, do not shift to neutral without 
depressing the clutch pedal, as this
may cause engine racing or overrev-ing. CAUTION
!
CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED 
You can cancel the preset speed by: 
a. Pulling  the lever in the CANCELº di- rection and releasing it.
b. Depressing the brake pedal. 
c. Depressing the clutch pedal (manual transmission).
If the vehicle speed falls below about 40 
km/h  (25 mph), the preset speed will auto-
matically cancel out. 
If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10 mph) below the preset speed, the presetspeed will also automatically cancel out. 
If the preset speed automatically cancels 
out other than for the above cases haveyour  vehicle checked by your Toyota deal-
er at the earliest opportunity. RESETTING AT A FASTER SPEED 
Press the control lever upward in the 
RES/ACCº direction and hold it. Release 
the lever when the desired speed is at- tained. 
While the lever is held upward, the
vehicle will gradually gain speed. 
However, a  faster way to reset is to accel-
erate the vehicle and then press the con- trol lever downward in the SET/COASTº direction. 
RESETTING AT A SLOWER SPEED 
Press the control lever downward in the SET/COASTº direction and hold it. Re- 
lease the lever  when the desired speed is
attained. While the lever is held, the ve- 
hicle speed will gradually decrease. 
However, a faster way to reset is to de- 
press the brake pedal and then press the 
control lever downward in the SET/ 
COASTº direction. 
On vehicles with automatic transmission, 
even if you turn off the overdrive switch with the cruise control on, engine braking
will  not be applied because the cruise con-
trol is not cancelled. To decrease the ve-
hicle speed, reset to a slower speed with
the cruise control lever or depress the brake pedal. If you use the brake pedal, cruise control is cancelled. 

74RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED 
If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling 
the control lever or by depressing the
brake pedal or clutch pedal, pushing the 
lever up in the RES/ACCº direction will 
restore 
the speed set prior to cancellation.
However,  once the vehicle speed falls be-
low about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset
speed will not be resumed. 
CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARN- ING 
If the CRUISEº indicator light in the in- 
strument cluster flashes when using thecruise  control, there is some trouble in the
cruise control system. Contact your Toyo-
ta dealer and have your vehicle inspected.
To crank the engine without depress- ing the clutch pedal, push the switch 
with the ignition on. 
The switch stays on as long as the ignition 
is on. And it will automatically turn off 
when the ignition is off. 
This switch cancels the clutch start sys- 
tem, which is designed to keep the starter 
motor from operating if  the clutch pedal is
not depressed all the way down. 
The switch allows the vehicle to be driven 
out of difficult situations by cranking the 
engine with the clutch engaged. Never use the switch for normal engine 
starting. Be sure to 
follow the starting pro-
cedure instructed in How to start the en- gineº in Part 3.

Type 2-2 only 
The automatic program selection (AS) 
feature allows you to program your cas-
sette player to skip forward or backward 
to locate the song you want to hear. You can skip up to nine tracks at a time. Push APSº. APSº  and 1º will appear on
the display. Next, push APS until the number on the 
display reaches the number of tracks you want to skip. If you push APSº ten times,
the APS feature will be turned off. 
If you choose the number 1º, the play- er will rewind to the beginning of the
current track.
 When counting the number of tracksyou want to rewind, remember to count  the current track as well. For ex-
ample, if you want to rewind to a song 
that is two before the song you are lis-
tening to, push APSº until 3º appears
on the display.
Finally,  push REWº or FFº to choose the
direction you want to skip. The player will 
rewind or fast forward the selected num- 
ber of tracks and play. 
The APS number you select can be higher 
than the number of tracks remaining on 
the current cassette side. After the begin- 
ning or end of the tape is reached, the
player will automatically reverse sides 
and rewind or fast forward the additional 
number of tracks. 

86REW/FF (Rewind/Fast forward) Push 
the FFº side of the button to fast for-
ward a cassette tape. FFº will appear on 
the display. Push the REWº side to re-
wind a  tape. REWº will appear on the dis-
play. 
To stop the tape while it is fast forwarding, 
push FFº or TAPEº; to stop the tape
while it is rewinding, push REWº or
TAPEº. The tape will immediately begin
to play. 
If a tape side rewinds completely, the cas-
