is on the left side of your vehicle.1. To open the fuel filler door, pull the
lever.

CAUTION
Do not smoke, cause sparks or
allow open flames when refuel-
ing. The fumes are flammable.

2. To remove the fuel tank cap, turn
the cap slowly counterclockwise,
then pause slightly before removing
it. After removing the cap, hang it
on the cap hanger.
It is not unusual to hear a slight swoosh
when the cap is opened. When installing,
turn the cap clockwise till you hear a click.
If the cap is not tightened securely, the
malfunction indicator lamp comes on.
Make sure the cap is tightened securely.

’01 L/C U (L/O 0008)29
CAUTION
Make sure the cap is tightened
securely to prevent fuel sp illage
in case of an accident.
Use only a genuine Toyota fuel
tank cap for replacement. It is
designed to regulate fuel tank
pressure.
Electric moon roof
Sliding operation
Tilting operation To operate the moon roof, use the
switches beside the personal light.
The moon roof works when the ignition
switch is in the ”ON” position. However,
if both front doors are closed, it works for
45 seconds even after the ignition switch
is turned off. It stops working when any
of the side doors or back door is opened.
Sun shade operation—
The sun shade can be opened or closed
by hand.
Sliding operation—
To open: Push the switch on the rear
side.
The roof will open and stop partway 35
mm (1.4 in.) from the fully opened posi-
tion. When you push the switch again, the
moon roof will open fully. To stop the roof
partway, push the same switch or tilt
switch while the roof is moving.
As driving with the moon roof opened fully
will cause wind throbs, we recommend
you to drive with the moon roof partway
35 mm (1.4 in.) from the fully opened
position.
The sun shade will be opened together
with the roof.
To close: Push the switch on the front
side.

GASOLINE CONTAINING MMT
Some gasoline contain an octane en-
hancing additive called MMT (Methylcy-
clopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Toyota does not recommend the use of
gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel con-
taining MMT is used, your emission con-
trol system may be adversely affected.
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the in-
strument cluster may come on. If this hap-
pens, contact your Toyota dealer for ser-
vice.
GASOLINE QUALITY
In a very few cases, you may experience
driveability problems caused by the partic-
ular gasoline that you are using. If you
continue to have unacceptable driveability,
try changing gasoline brands. If that does
not rectify your problem, then consult your
Toyota dealer.
NOTICE

Do not use gasohol other than
stated above. It will cause fuel sys-
tem damage or vehicle performance
problems.
If drive ability problems are occur
(poor hot starting, vaporizing, en-
gine knock, etc.), discontinue the use.
Take care not to spill gasohol dur-
ing refueling. Gasohol may cause
paint damage.

Luggage stowage pr
ecautions
When stowing luggage or cargo in or on
the vehicle, observe the following: Put luggage or cargo in the luggage
compartment when at all possible. Be
sure all items are secured in place.
Be careful to keep the vehicle bal-
anced. Locating the weight as far for-
ward as possible helps maintain the
balance.
For better fuel economy, do not carry
unneeded weight.
CAUTION
To prevent luggage or packages
from sliding forward during brak-
ing, do not stack anything in the
luggage compartment higher than
the seatbacks.
Do not place anything on the
flattened seat or it may slide for-
ward during braking.
Never allow anyone to ride in the
luggage compartment. It is not
designed for passengers. They
should ride in their seats with
their seat belts properly fastened.
Otherwise, they are much more
likely to suffer serious bodily in-
jury, in the event of sudden brak-
ing or a collision.
Do not place anything on the
luggage cover. Such items may
be thrown about and possibly in-
jure people in the vehicle during
sudden braking or an accident.
Secure all items in a safe place.
Do not drive with objects left on
top of the instrument panel. They
may interfere with the driver’s
field of view. Or they may move
during sharp vehicle acceleration
or turning, and impair the driv-
er’s control of the vehicle. In an
accident they may injure the ve-
hicle occupants.NOTICE
Do not load the vehicle beyond the
vehicle capacity weight given in Sec-
tion 8.

If you perform maintenance by yourself,
be sure to follow the correct procedure
given in this section.
You should be aware that improper or in-
complete servicing may result in operating
problems.
Performing do
−it−yourself maintenance
during the warranty period may affect your
warranty coverage. Read the separate
Toyota Warranty statement for details and
suggestions.
This part gives instructions only for those
items that are relatively easy for an owner
to perform. As explained in Section 6,
there are still a number of items that must
be done by a qualified technician with
special tools.
For information on tools and parts for do −
it −yourself maintenance, see ”Parts and
tools”.
Utmost care should be taken when work-
ing on your vehicle to prevent accidental
injury. Here are a few precautions that
you should be especially careful to ob-
serve:
CAUTION
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 advis-
able.)
Right after driving, the engine
compartment—the engine, radia-
tor, exhaust manifold, power
steering fluid reservoir and spark
plug boots, etc.—will 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 re-
move the radiator cap or loosen
the drain plugs to prevent burn-
ing yourself.
Do not smoke, cause sparks or
allow open flames around fuel or
the battery. Their fumes are flam-
mable.
Be extremely cautious when
working on the battery. It con-
tains poisonous and corrosive
sulfuric acid.
Warning: Battery posts, terminals
and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds, chemi-
cals know to the State of Califor-
nia to cause cancer and repro-
ductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
