To adjust the steering wheel position,
hold the steering wheel, push down the
lock release lever. Then tilt the steering
wheel to the desired angle, push or pull
it to the desired steering column length
and return the lever to its original posi-
tion.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the steering wheel
while the vehicle is moving. Doing
so may cause the driver to mishan-
dle the vehicle and an accident may
occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.
After adjusting the steering wheel,
try moving it up and down or for-
ward and rearward to make sure it
is locked in position.
Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the side of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
Be careful when judging the size or dis-
tance of any object seen in the outside
rear view mirror on the passenger ’s side
because it is a convex mirror. Any object
seen in a convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat
mirror.
On some models, when you push the rear
window defogger switch, the heater panels
in the outside rear view mirrors will quick-
ly clear the mirror surface. (See “Rear
window and outside rear view mirror de-
foggers” on page 129 in Section 1−5.)

(h) Electric Power Steering SystemWarning Light
This light comes on when the power
steering control system fails.
CAUTION
If this light comes on, take your ve-
hicle to the Toyota dealer as soon as
possible. In this case, you may feel
the heavy steering wheel maneuver-
ing. Drive your vehicle while gripping
the steering wheel firmly.
(i) Open Door Warning Light and Buzz- er
This light remains on until all the doors
and trunk lid are completely closed.
The buzzer also sounds once when any
of the doors or trunk lid is not completely
closed at the vehicle speed 5 km/h (3
mph) or more. Stop the vehicle and close
the door and trunk lid completely. (j) SRS Warning Light
This indicator comes on when the
“POWER” switch is set at ON. It goes
off after about 6 seconds. This means
the SRS front airbags and seat belt pre-
tensioners are operating properly.
This warning light system monitors the
airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-
sors, side and curtain shield airbag sen-
sors, curtain shield airbag sensors, driv-
er ’s seat position sensor, driver ’s seat belt
buckle switch, front passenger occupant
classification system, “AIRBAG ON” indi-
cator light, “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light,
front passenger ’s seat belt buckle switch,
seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflat-
ors, interconnecting wiring and power
sources.
If any of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction of the airbags
or seat belt pretensioners. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to.
The light does not come on when the
“POWER” switch is set at ON or re-
mains on for more than 6 seconds.
The light comes on or starts flashing
while driving.The SRS warning light and “AIRBAG OFF”
indicator light will come on if there is a
malfunction in the front passenger occu-
pant classification system.
(k) Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the tire pressure of
one or more of your tires (including the
spare tire) is low. The light comes on
when the “POWER” switch is set at ON.
It goes off when the “READY” light comes
on. This indicates that the tire pressure
warning system is functioning properly.
If the warning light comes on, stop your
vehicle in a safe place as soon as pos-
sible and check that the inflation pressure
of all tires (including the spare tire) is as
specified on the tire and loading informa-
tion label. (See “Checking tire inflation
pressure” on page 359 in Section 7−
2.)
The light should go off a few minutes after
the tire pressure is adjusted.
If the warning light blinks (comes on after
blinking for 1 minute), the tire pressure
warning system may be malfunctioning.
Contact your Toyota dealer.
For details, see “Tire pressure warning
system” on page 168 in Section 1 −7.

ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FUNCTION
The anti −lock brake system function is de-
signed to help prevent lock −up of the
wheels during sudden braking or when
braking on slippery road conditions. This
assists in providing directional stability
and steering performance of the vehicle
under these circumstances.
Effective way to press the ABS brake
pedal: When the brake pedal is de-
pressed and the anti −lock brake system
function is in action, the slip indicator
flashes. In this situation, to let the anti −
lock brake system work for you, just
hold the brake pedal down more firmly.
Do not pump the brake in a panic stop.
This will result in reduced braking per-
formance.
Depressing the brake pedal on slippery
road surfaces such as on a manhole cov-
er, a steel plate at a construction site,
joints in a bridge, etc. on a rainy day
tends to activate the anti −lock brake sys-
tem function. When the anti
−lock brake system function
is activated, you may hear the anti −lock
brake system function operating sound
and the vibrations of the vehicle body and
steering wheel. You may also hear the
motor sound in the engine compartment
even after the vehicle is stopped. Howev-
er, it does not indicate any trouble.
CAUTION
The antilock brake system function
is not designed to shorten braking
distance. Always drive at a moderate
speed and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you. De-
pending on road conditions, braking
distance may be longer than that of
a vehicle without the antilock brake
system. If tire chains are used, brak-
ing distance may become longer.
Compared with vehicles without an
antilock brake device, your vehicle
may require a longer stopping dis-
tance in the following cases:
Driving on rough, gravel or snow
covered roads.
Driving with tire chains installed.
Driving over the steps such as the
joints on the road.
Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has other differ-
ences in surface height.
If tire grip performance exceeds its
capability, or if hydroplaning occurs
during high speed driving in the rain,
the antilock brake system does not
provide vehicle control.

TRACTION CONTROL FUNCTION
The traction control function is designed to
help prevent skid of the drive wheels dur-
ing sudden acceleration on slippery road
surfaces.
You may feel vibration or noise in your
vehicle, caused by operation of the
brakes.
CAUTION
Under certain slippery road condi-
tions, full traction of the vehicle and
power against drive wheels cannot be
maintained, even though the traction
control system is in operation. Do not
drive the vehicle under any speed or
maneuvering conditions which may
cause the vehicle to lose traction
control. In situations where the road
surface is covered with ice or snow,
your vehicle should be fitted with
snow tires or tire chains. Always
drive at a moderate speed.
VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL
FUNCTION
The vehicle stability control function is de-
signed to help prevent skid of the wheels
while cornering on slippery road surfaces
or when turning the steering wheel abrupt-
ly.
The system controls the driving and brak-
ing forces on each tire and also controls
the power steering assistance to help the
driver to recover vehicle stability.
CAUTION
Depending on the road conditions,
the vehicle stability control function
may not be able to stabilize your ve-
hicle. Always drive at a moderate
speed.
The tire pressure warning system warns
you that the tire inflation pressure is
low.
The tire pressure warning system is not
a substitute for checking normal tire infla-
tion pressure. Check the tire inflation
pressure with a tire pressure gauge regu-
larly.
CAUTION
The warning system may not activate
immediately if bursts or sudden air
leakage should occur.
