± SUSPENSION AND AXLETIRE PRESSURE MONITOR VALVE
SA±17
3013 Author: Date:
2005 SEQUOIA (RM1146U)

If installed in the reverse direction, the tire pressure
monitor valve may be damaged or fail to transmit sig-
nals when running at high speed.

If installing a new tire pressure monitor valve, write
down the ID number before installation.

It is necessary to registor an ID in the ECU after instal-
lation (See page DI±805).
(b) Install the washer on the tire pressure monitor valve from
the rim side and tighten with a nut.
Torque: 4.0 NVm (41 kgfVcm, 35 in.Vlbf)
NOTICE:

Check that there is no foreign matter on the washer
and nut.

If the tire pressure monitor valve is removed when the
tire is removed for replacement, check that there is no
damage or cuts, and no foreign matter such as mud,
dirt or sand attached to the grommet. Replace the
grommet with a new one if any of the defects men-
tioned above are found.

Check that there is no oil, water or lubricant around
the rim hole, tire pressure monitor valve, washer and
nut. Failing to do so may result in improper installa-
tion.
(c) After the tire is inflated, the valve nut may be loose. Re-
tighten the nut to the specified torque and then check for
air leaks with soapy water.
Torque: 4.0 NVm (41 kgfVcm, 35 in.Vlbf)
(d) Set the wheel disc to the mounting machine and install the
lower tire bead. Position the main body of the sensor as
in the shaded area shown in the illustration.
NOTICE:
If the sensor is positioned outside this area, it generates in-
terference with the tire bead, causing possible damage to
the sensor.
(e) Install the upper bead.
NOTICE:
Make sure that the tire bead and tool do not interfere with
the main body of the sensor and that the sensor is not
clamped by the bead.
5. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL
Torque: 103 NVm (1,050 kgfVcm, 76 ftVlbf)
6. INSTALL REAR WHEEL
Torque: 103 NVm (1,050 kgfVcm, 76 ftVlbf)
7. INSPECT TIRE (See page SA±3)
8. REGISTRATION OF TRANSMITTED ID
(See page DI±805)

Improving fuel economy is easyÐjust take
it easy. It will help make your vehicle last
longer, too. Here are some specific tips
on how to save money on both fuel and
repairs:

Keep your tires inflated at the cor-
rect pressure. Underinflation causes
tire wear and wastes fuel. See page
429 in Section 7±2 for instructions.

Do not carry unneeded weight in
your vehicle. Excess weight puts a
heavier load on the engine, causing
greater fuel consumption.

Avoid lengthy warm±up idling. Once
the engine is running smoothly, begin
drivingÐbut gently. Remember, howev-
er, that on cold winter days this may
take a little longer.

Keep the automatic transmission
overdrive turned on when engine
braking is not required. Driving with
the overdrive off will reduce the fuel
economy. (For details, see ªAutomatic
transmissionº on page 173 in Section
1±7.)

Accelerate slowly and smoothly.
Avoid jackrabbit starts. Get into high
gear as quickly as possible.

Avoid long engine idling. If you have
a long wait and you are not in traffic,
it is better to turn off the engine and
start again later.

Avoid engine lugging or over±rev-
ving. Use a gear position suitable for
the road on which you are travelling.

Avoid continuous speeding up and
slowing down. Stop±and±go driving
wastes fuel.

Avoid unnecessary stopping and
braking. Maintain a steady pace. Try
to time the traffic signals so you only
need to stop as little as possible or
take advantage of through streets to
avoid traffic lights. Keep a proper dis-
tance from other vehicles to avoid sud-
den braking. This will also reduce wear
on your brakes.

Avoid heavy traffic or traffic jams
whenever possible.

Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal. This causes premature wear,
overheating and poor fuel economy.

Maintain a moderate speed on high-
ways. The faster you drive, the greater
the fuel consumption. By reducing your
speed, you will cut down on fuel con-
sumption.

Keep the front wheels in proper
alignment. Avoid hitting the curb and
slow down on rough roads. Improper
alignment not only causes faster tire
wear but also puts an extra load on
the engine, which, in turn, wastes fuel.

Keep the bottom of your vehicle free
from mud, etc. This not only lessens
weight but also helps prevent corro-
sion.

Keep your vehicle tuned±up and in
top shape. A dirty air cleaner, improp-
er valve clearance, dirty plugs, dirty oil
and grease, brakes not adjusted, etc.
all lower engine performance and con-
tribute to poor fuel economy. For longer
life of all parts and lower operating
costs, keep all maintenance work on
schedule, and if you often drive under
severe conditions, see that your vehicle
receives more frequent maintenance.

tion, please refer to the ªScheduled
Maintenance Guideº or ªOwner 's Manu-
al Supplementº.)

CAUTION
Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine and radiator are
hot. Serious injury could result from
scalding hot fluid and steam blown
out under pressure.
7. After the engine coolant temperature
has cooled to normal, again check the
coolant level in the reservoir. If neces-
sary, bring it up to half full again. Seri-
ous coolant loss indicates a leak in the
system. You should have it checked as
soon as possible at your Toyota dealer.
1. Reduce your speed gradually,
keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place
well away from the traffic. Avoid
stopping on the center divider of
a highway. Park on a level spot
with firm ground.
2. Stop the engine and turn on your
emergency flashers.
3. Firmly set the parking brake and
put the transmission in ªPº.
4. Have everyone get out of the ve-
hicle on the side away from traffic.
5. Read the following instructions
thoroughly.CAUTION
When jacking, be sure to observe
the following to reduce the possi-
bility of personal injury:

Follow jacking instructions.

Do not put any part of your
body under the vehicle sup-
ported by the jack. Otherwise,
personal injury may occur.

Do not start or run the engine
while your vehicle is supported
by the jack.

Stop the vehicle on a level firm
ground, firmly set the parking
brake and put the transmission
in ªPº. Block the wheel diago-
nally opposite to the one being
changed if necessary.

Tire inflation pressure
Check the pressure with a gauge ev-
ery two weeks, or at least once a
month. See page 429 in Section 7±2
for additional information.
Tire surface and wheel nuts
Check the tires carefully for cuts,
damage or excessive wear. See page
432 in Section 7±2 for additional in-
formation. 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
maintenance schedule. (For sched-
uled maintenance information, please
refer to the ªScheduled Maintenance
Guideº or ªOwner 's Manual Supple-
mentº.) See page 434 in Section 7±2
for additional information.Be on the alert for changes in perfor-
mance, sounds, and visual tip±offs that
indicate service is needed. Some impor-
tant clues are as follows:

Engine missing, stumbling, or pinging

Appreciable loss of power

Strange engine noises

A leak under the vehicle (however, wa-
ter dripping from the air conditioning
after use is normal.)

Change in exhaust sound (This may
indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide
leak. Drive with the windows open and
have the exhaust system checked im-
mediately.)

Flat±looking tire; excessive tire squeal
when cornering; uneven tire wear

Vehicle pulls to one side when driving
straight on a level road

Strange noises related to suspension
movement

Loss of brake effectiveness; spongy
feeling brake pedal; pedal almost
touches floor; vehicle pulls to one side
when braking

Engine coolant temperature continually
higher than normal

Engine continually runs hot; oil pres-
sure gauge stays low
If you notice any of these clues, take your
vehicle to your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible. It probably needs adjustment or
repair.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving with the ve-
hicle unchecked. It could result in se-
rious vehicle damage and possibly
personal injury.
