This indicates that the fuel filler door
is on the left side of your vehicle.1. To open the fuel filler door, pull the
lever.
When refueling, turn off the engine.
CAUTION
Do not smoke, cause sparks or
allow open flames when refuel-
ing. The fumes are flammable.
When opening the cap, do not
remove the cap quickly. In hot
weather, fuel under pressure
could cause injury by spraying
out of the filler neck if the cap
is suddenly removed.

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.

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.

Keep the back door and quarter
windows closed while driving. An
open or unsealed back door and
quarter windows may cause ex-
haust gases to be drawn into the
vehicle.
To allow proper operation of your
vehicle’s ventilation system, keep
the inlet grilles in front of the
windshield clear of snow, leaves,
or other obstructions.
If you smell exhaust fumes in
the vehicle, drive with the win-
dows open and the back door
closed. Have the cause immedi-
ately located and corrected.FUNCTIONS OF ENGINE OIL
Engine oil has the primary functions of
lubricating and cooling the inside of the
engine, and plays a major role in main-
taining the engine in proper working order.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
It is normal that an engine should con-
sume some engine oil during normal
engine operation. The causes of oil
consumption in a normal engine are as
follows.
Oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston
rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil
is left on the cylinder wall when a pis-
ton moves downwards in the cylinder.
High negative pressure generated when
the vehicle is decelerating sucks some
of this oil into the combustion chamber.
This oil as well as some part of the oil
film left on the cylinder wall is burned
by the high temperature combustion
gases during the combustion process.
Oil is also used to lubricate the stems
of the intake valves. Some of this oil
is sucked into the combustion chamber
together with the intake air and is
burned along with the fuel. High tem-
perature exhaust gases also burn the
oil used to lubricate the exhaust valve
stems.
The amount of engine oil consumed de-
pends on the viscosity of the oil, the
quality of the oil and the conditions the
vehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed by high −speed driv-
ing and frequent acceleration and decel-
eration.
A new engine consumes more oil, since
its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls
have not become conditioned.
When judging the amount of oil con-
sumption, note that the oil may become
diluted and make it difficult to judge
the true level accurately.

If you are a skilled do
−it−yourself
mechanic, the Toyota service manuals are
recommended. Please be aware that do −it−yourself maintenance can affect your
warranty coverage. See ”Owner ’s Warranty
Information Booklet” or ”Owner ’s Manual
Supplement” for the details. General maintenance
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
unusual noise, smell or vibration, you
should investigate the cause or take your
vehicle to your Toyota dealer or a quali-
fied service shop immediately. It is recom-
mended that any problem you notice be
brought to the attention of your dealer or
the qualified service shop for their advice.
CAUTION
Make these checks only where ade-
quate ventilation can be obtained if
you run the engine.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
Items listed below should be performed
from time to time, unless otherwise
specified.
Tire pressure
Check the pressure with a gauge every
two weeks, or at least once a month. See
Section 7
−2 for additional information. Tire surface and wheel nuts
Check the tires carefully for cuts, damage
or excessive wear. See Section 7
−2 for
additional information. When checking the
tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and
check the nuts for looseness. Tighten
them if necessary.
Tire rotation
Rotate the tires according to the mainte-
nance schedule. (For scheduled mainte-
nance information, please refer to the
”Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or ”Own-
er ’s Manual Supplement”.) See Section 7 −2 for additional information.
Fluid leaks
Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, wa-
ter or other fluid after the vehicle has
been parked for a while. If you smell fuel
fumes or notice any leak, have the cause
found and corrected immediately.
Doors and engine hood
Check that all doors and back door oper-
ate smoothly and all latches lock securely.
Make sure the engine hood secondary
latch secures the hood from opening when
the primary latch is released.
