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 is in the self
check mode, and does not indicate a mal-
function.
When the anti±lock brake system is ac-
tivated, the following conditions may
occur. They do not indicate a malfunc-
tion of the system:

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.

At the end of the anti±lock brake sys-
tem activation, the brake pedal may
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.
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 the vehicle in 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:

Driving on rough, gravel or snow±
covered roads.

Driving with tire chains installed.

Driving over the steps such as the
joints on the road.

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 in a longer stopping dis-
tance.

This child restraint is designed for use
only by children who weigh between 10
and 30 kg (22.1 and 66.1 pounds), and
whose height is between 85 and 127 cm
(33.5 and 50.0 inches).
The child should be at least one year
old and must be capable of sitting up-
right alone and whose shoulder height
is at or below the maximum shoulder
height indicator.
It is important to use a rear±facing
child restraint until the child is about
a year old. A rear±facing restraint gives
the child's head, neck and body the
support they would need in a crash.
See ªÐChild restraint systemº for more
information.
If your child's shoulders are above the
indicator position, do not use the built±
in child restraint. Your child should use
the vehicle's seat belts.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat.CAUTION
Make sure the child is securely re-
strained with the built±in child re-
straint. WARNING! Failure to follow
the manufacturer 's instructions on the
use of this child restraint system can
result in your child striking the ve-
hicle's interior during a sudden stop
or crash. Snugly adjust the belts pro-
vided with this child restraint around
your child.
When using the built±in child re-
straint, observe the following:

Use the belts for only one child at
a time. Do not use the belts for two
or more children.

Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. Take care that
they do not get caught or pinched
in the seatback.

Inspect the belt system periodically.
Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Damaged parts should be re-
placed. Do not disassemble or
modify the child restraint belt sys-
tem.

Keep the belts clean and dry. If
they need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Never
use bleach, dye, or abrasive clean-
ersÐthey may severely weaken the
belts.

Replace the built±in child restraint
assembly if it has been used in a
severe impact. The entire assembly
should be replaced even if damage
is not obvious.

Do not use a separate child re-
straint system over the opened
built±in child restraint.

When the built±in child restraint is
in use, do not use the adult lap and
shoulder belt instead of the built±in
child restraint seat belt as it can
cause severe injury to the child in
a sudden stop or crash.

4. Compress the shoulder belt clip to
separate the right and left shoulder
belts.5. Pull down the seatback part of the
removable pad. Make sure the child's
shoulders are at or below the maxi-
mum shoulder height indicator label.
The removable pad is attached by fasten-
er tapes.
CAUTION
If your child's shoulders are above
the maximum shoulder height indica-
tor label, do not use the built±in child
restraint. Your child should use the
adult lap and shoulder belt.
6. Press the removable pad against the
fastener tapes and install the pad to
the seatback. Make sure the belts go
through the slots in the pad.
CAUTION
If you have removed the removable
pad for cleaning etc., do not use the
built±in child restraint without the
pad.

Replacing wheels
WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR WHEELS
If you have wheel damage such as
bending, cracks or heavy corrosion, the
wheel should be replaced.
If you fail to replace damaged wheels, the
tire may slip off the wheel or cause loss
of handling control.
WHEEL SELECTION
When replacing wheels, care should be
taken to ensure that the wheels are re-
placed by ones with the same load ca-
pacity, diameter, rim width, and offset.
This must be observed on compact spare
tires, too.
Correct replacement wheels are available
at your Toyota dealer.
A wheel of a different size or type may
adversely affect handling, wheel and bear-
ing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odom-
eter calibration, stopping ability, headlight
aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clear-
ance, and tire or snow chain clearance to
the body and chassis.Replacement with used wheels is not rec-
ommended as they may have been sub-
jected to rough treatment or high mileage
and could fail without warning. Also, bent
wheels which have been straightened may
have structural damage and therefore
should not be used. Never use an inner
tube in a leaking wheel which is designed
for a tubeless tire.
Aluminum wheel precautions

When installing aluminum wheels,
check that the wheel nuts are tight
after driving your vehicle the first 1600
km (1000 miles).

If you have rotated, repaired, or
changed your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving
1600 km (1000 miles).

When using tire chains, be careful not
to damage the aluminum wheels.

Use only the Toyota wheel nuts and
wrench designed for your aluminum
wheels.

When balancing your wheels, use only
Toyota balance weights or equivalent
and a plastic or rubber hammer.

As with any wheel, periodically check
your aluminum wheels for damage. If
damaged, replace immediately.
