5. Make sure that the indicator light
flashes. Then you may leave the ve-
hicle.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system because unlocking
from the inside activates the alarm.
Activating the alarm
If the system detects a threat to the
vehicle, blows the horn intermittently
for one minute while flashing head-
lights, tail lights and front side marker
lights, and turns on the interior light.
The system detects a threat under any of
the following conditions:
Either of the front doors is unlocked by
means other than the key or remote
keyless entry transmitter.
If the key is not in the ignition switch,
all the doors will be automatically
locked again.
Any of the doors is forcibly opened.
The side windows are tapped or bro-
ken.
The battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnected.
The ignition is hotwired. After one minute, the alarm automatically
stops and the indicator light starts flashing
again.
Reactivating the alarm
Once set, until you cancel the system, the
system automatically resets the alarm af-
ter the alarm has stopped.
The alarm will activate again under the
same circumstances described in “Activat-
ing the alarm”.
Stopping the alarm
You can stop the alarm in either of the
following ways:
Unlock any of the doors with the key
or remote keyless entry transmitter.
Place the ignition switch in the “ON”
position.
CANCELLING THE SYSTEM
You can cancel the system as described
in “Stopping the alarm”.
If you cancel the system by unlocking any
of the doors but no door is opened within
30 seconds, all the doors lock automati-
cally and the system will be set again. NOTE: If your vehicle’s tail lights and
front side marker lights turn on
and the buzzer sounds for 2 sec-
onds when the system is can-
celed, the trigger memory was ac-
tivated; an alarm was triggered
while you were away from the ve-
hicle.
TESTING THE SYSTEM
You can check the system operation as
follows.
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the system as described in “SETTING THE SYSTEM”.
3. Unlock the driver’s door with the inside lock knob. The system should activate
and the alarm should sound.
4. Stop the alarm as described in “Stop- ping the alarm”.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the passen- ger ’s door.
If the system does not work properly,
have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

1. To open the fuel filler door, pull the
door toward out as shown.
When refueling, turn off the engine.
CAUTION
Do not smoke, cause sparks or al-
low open flames when refueling.
The fumes are flammable.
When opening the cap, do not re-
move the cap quickly. In hot weath-
er, fuel under pressure could cause
injury by spraying out of the filler
neck if the cap is suddenly re-
moved.
Do not fill a fuel container on a
plastic truck bed liner, a rubber
truck bed mat, or any other insulat-
ing material. A static electricity
charge could cause a spark and fire
hazard. The proper procedure is to
place an approved fuel container on
the ground away from the truck for
filling.

2. To remove the fuel tank cap, turnthe cap counterclockwise by 90 de-
grees (to the pressure point 1), and
then turn it an additional 30 degrees
(to point 2). Pause slightly before
removing it.
Although a click will be heard as you turn
the cap to point 1, it does not indicate
that the cap can be removed.
It is not unusual to hear a slight swoosh
when the cap is opened.
When installing the cap, turn the cap
clockwise until you hear one click.
When you hear the click, the cap is
fully closed.
If the cap is not tightened securely, the
malfunction indicator lamp comes on.
Make sure the cap is tightened securely.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving
several times. If the indicator lamp does
not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.

Injured person. Toyota recommends the
use of a seat belt. Depending on the inju-
ry, first check with your doctor for specific
recommendations.
CAUTION
Persons should ride in their seats
properly wearing their seat belts
whenever the vehicle is moving.
Otherwise, they are much more likely
to suffer serious bodily injury or
death in the event of sudden braking
or a collision.
When using the seat belts, observe
the following:
Use the belt for only one person at
a time. Do not use a single belt for
two or more people—even children.
Avoid reclining the seatbacks too
much. The seat belts provide maxi-
mum protection when the seatbacks
are in the upright position. (Refer
to the seat adjustment instructions.)
Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. Take care that
they do not get caught or pinched
in the seat or side doors.
Inspect the belt system periodically.
Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Damaged parts should be re-
placed. Do not disassemble or
modify the system.
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-
ers—they may severely weaken the
belts. (See “Cleaning the interior”
in Section 5.)
Replace the belt assembly (includ-
ing bolts) if it has been used in a
severe impact. The entire assembly
should be replaced even if damage
is not obvious.Adjust the seat as needed (front seats
only) and sit up straight and well back
in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it
out of the retractor and insert the tab
into the buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts
to your size and the seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during a
sudden stop or on impact. It also may
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A
slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend, and you can move around freely.
