The air conditioning filter may clog af-
ter long use. The filter may need to be
replaced if the air flow of the air condi-
tioning and heater experiences extreme
reductions in operating efficiency, or if
the windows begin to fog up easily.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency,
inspect and replace the air conditioning
filter according to the maintenance sched-
ule. In dusty areas or areas with heavy
traffic flow, such as inner city or desert
areas, early replacement may be required.
(For scheduled maintenance information,
please refer to the “Scheduled Mainte-
nance Guide” or “Owner ’s Manual Supple-
ment”.)

The protection circuit may be activated to
cut the power supply if any of the follow-
ing conditions apply:
The engine is started with the power
outlet switch on.
Use of electrical appliances exceeding
the maximum capacity is attempted.
A sound may be heard when the
protection circuit is activated. This is
normal and does not indicate a mal-
function.
Electrical appliances, which consume
power exceeding 100W, have been
used continuously for a long time per-
iod.
The total power usage by all electrical
features (headlights, air conditioning,
etc.) has exceeded the total vehicle
maximum for an extended period of
time.
If the protection circuit is activated and
the power supply is cut, conduct the fol-
lowing procedure:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe area, and then securely apply the parking brake.
2. Check and ensure the following condi- tions: Automatic transmission models: The
selector lever is in the “P” or “N” posi-
tion.
Manual transmission models: The shift
lever is in the neutral position and the
clutch pedal is not depressed.
3. Make sure that the power consumption of the electric appliance is within the
maximum capacity of the power outlet
and the appliance is not broken.
4. Push the power outlet main switch again.
When the cabin temperature is high, open
the windows to cool the temperature
down. Once it reaches the normal temper-
ature, turn the power outlet main switch
on again.
If the power supply is not resumed even
after performing the above procedure,
have the vehicle inspected by a Toyota
dealer.

NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, turn off all the vehicle’s
electronic equipment and accesso-
ries, such as the headlights, fog
lights and air conditioner, when
electrical appliances that consume
in excess of 100W are used contin-
uously for long periods of time.
 To prevent any damage caused by
heat, do not use any electrical ap-
pliances that give off intense heat
such as toasters, in any locations
including the internal or external
trim, seats and deck.
 Do not use any electrical ap-
pliances, which are easily affected
by vibration or heat, inside the ve-
hicle. Vibration while driving, or the
heat of the sun while parking, may
result in damage to those electrical
appliances.
 Keep the lid closed when the power
outlet is not in use. Do not insert
any items other than appropriate
plugs, as this may cause electrical
failure or short circuits.
After inserting a plug, gently close
the power outlet lid. Failure to do
so may cause damage to the plug.
 If any electrical appliances are to
be used while driving, securely fas-
ten both the appliances and their
cables to prevent them from falling
or getting caught any of the power-
train components.
 Do not use plug adaptors to con-
nect too many plugs to the power
outlet.
 If the power outlet is loose when an
electrical appliance plug is con-
nected, replace the outlet. Contact
a Toyota dealer for any necessary
replacements.
 If the power outlet gets dirty, turn
the main switch off and use a soft,
clean, drywet cloth to wipe it gent-
ly. Do not use any cleansing materi-
als, such as organic solvents, wax,
or compound cleaners, as these
may damage the power outlet or
cause it to malfunction.Keep the power outlet free from
dust and foreign materials and
clean it regularly.
The power outlet is not designed for
the following electric appliances even if
their power consumption is below the
maximum capacity. These appliances
may not operate properly.
Appliances with high initial peak watt-
age: cathode− ray tube type televisions,
compressor −driven refrigerators, electric
tools, etc.
Measuring devices which process pre-
cise data: medical equipment, measur-
ing instruments, etc.
Other appliances requiring an extremely
stable power supply: microcomputer −
controlled electric blankets, touch sen-
sor lamps, etc.
Use of the power outlet may not be
possible if the vehicle battery voltage is
low due to decreased battery capacity.
The integrated timers of electrical ap-
pliances may not function properly
when the power supply is cut by the
protection circuit.

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.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000
km (1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 Imp. qt./600
miles)
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.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for
repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-
mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not
show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km (600 miles) or more. This
is because the oil is gradually becoming
diluted with fuel or moisture, making it
appear that the oil level has not changed.
The diluting ingredients evaporate out
when the vehicle is then driven at high
speeds, as on an expressway, making it
appear that oil is excessively consumed
after driving at high speeds. IMPORTANCE OF ENGINE OIL LEVEL
CHECK
One of the most important points in prop-
er vehicle maintenance is to keep the en-
gine oil at the optimum level so that oil
function will not be impaired. Therefore, it
is essential that the oil level be checked
regularly. Toyota recommends that the oil
level be checked every time you refuel
the vehicle.
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly
could lead to serious engine trouble
due to insufficient oil.
For detailed information on oil level check,
see “Checking the engine oil level” on
page 292 in Section 7
−2. This brake system has 2 independent hy-
draulic circuits. If either circuit should fail,
the other will still work. However, the ped-
al will be harder to press, and your stop-
ping distance will increase. Also, the
brake system warning light may come on.
CAUTION
Do not drive your vehicle with only a
single brake system. Have your
brakes fixed immediately.
BRAKE BOOSTER
The brake booster uses brake fluid pres-
surized by the pump to power
−assist the
brakes. If the brake booster fails during
driving, the brake system warning light
comes on and buzzer sounds continuous-
ly. In this case, the brakes may not work
properly. If they do not work well, depress
the brake pedal firmly. If the brake system
warning light comes on, immediately stop
your vehicle and contact your Toyota deal-
er.
It is not a malfunction that the brake sys-
tem warning light may stay on for 60 sec-
onds after the ignition key is turned to the
“ON” position.
