106 2−1. Driving procedures
Lightly depress the accelerator pedal at the same time as
gradually releasing the clutch pedal.
Release the parking brake.
 Driving in the rain
 Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the
windows may become fogged−up, and the road will be slippery.
Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be
especially slippery.
 Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road
surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
 Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, the following precautions are recommended
to observe:
 For the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
For the first 500 miles (800 km):
Do not tow a trailer.
 For the first 1000 miles (1600 km):
Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
Avoid sudden acceleration.
Do not drive continuously in the low gears.
Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
 Drumin disc type parking brake system
Your vehicle has a drum−in−disc type parking brake system. This type of
brake system needs bedding−down of the brake shoes periodically or when−
ever the parking brake shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have your Toyota
dealer perform the bedding down.
 Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. (
