8. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION:
If large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it may overheat and create a fire haz-
ard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
(a) Use only unleaded gasoline.
(b) Avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
(c) Avoid spark jump test.
(1) Perform spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
(2) While testing, never race the engine.
(d) Avoid prolonged engine compression measurement.
Engine compression tests must be done as rapidly as possible.
(e) Do not run engine when fuel tank is nearly empty.
This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
(f) Avoid coasting with ignition turned off.
(g) Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil.
9. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
For vehicles with mobile communication systems such as two±way radios and cellular telephones, observe
the following precautions.
(1) Install the antenna as far as possible away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle's electronic
system.
(2) Install the antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and sensors of the ve-
hicle's electronic systems. For details about ECU and sensors locations, refer to the section on
the applicable component.
(3) Avoid winding the antenna feeder together with other wiring as much as possible, and also avoid
running the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harnesses.
(4) Check that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
(5) Do not install powerful mobile communications system.
10. FOR USING OBD II SCAN TOOL OR TOYOTA HAND±HELD TESTER
CAUTION:
Observe the following items for safety reasons:

Before using the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester, the OBD II scan tool's instruc-
tion book or TOYOTA hand±held tester's operator manual should be read thoroughly.

Be sure to route all cables securely when driving with the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±
held tester connected to the vehicle. (i.e. Keep cables away from feet, pedals, steering wheel
and shift lever.)

Two persons are required when test driving with the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held
tester, one person to drive the vehicle and the other person to operate the OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand±held tester.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
These are maintenance and inspection items which are considered to be the owner's responsibility.

the maintenance schedule is shown.

Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performed.

Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time interval (months).

Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval as before unless
otherwise noted.
2. LIGHTS

excessive freeplay or strange noises.
11. SEATS
(a) Check that the seat adjusters operate smoothly.
(b) Check that all latches lock securely in any position.
(c) Check that the head restraints move up and down smoothly and that the locks hold securely in any
latch position.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT STEERING LINKAGE
(a) Check the steering wheel freeplay. (See page SR±3)
(b) Check the steering linkage for looseness or damage.
Check that:

Tie rod ends do not have excessive play.

Dust seals and boots are not damaged.

Boot clamps are not loose.
2. INSPECT SRS AIRBAG (See page RS±2)
3. INSPECT STEERING GEAR HOUSING OIL
Check the steering gear housing for oil leakage.
4. INSPECT DRIVE SHAFT BOOTS

damage.
5. INSPECT BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERS
(a) Inspect the ball joints for excessive looseness.

Jack up the front of the vehicle and place wooden
blocks with a height of 180 ± 200 mm (7.09 ± 7.87
in.) under the front tires.

Lower the jack until there is about half a load on the
front coil spring. Place stands under the vehicle for
safety.

Check that the front wheels are pointing straight
ahead, and block them with chocks.

Using a lever, pry up the end of the lower arm, and
check the amount of play.
Maximum ball joint vertical play: 0 mm (0 in.)
If there is play, replace the ball joint.
(b) Check the dust cover for damage.
6. CHECK TRANSAXLE OIL (FLUID)
Visually check the transaxle for oil (fluid) leakage.
If leakage is found, check for the cause and repair.
7. REPLACE TRANSAXLE OIL (FLUID)
