Before driving
CAUTION
nRefueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle.
Failure to do so, may result in death or serious injury.
lTouch the vehicle or some other metal surface to discharge any static
electricity.
Sparks resulting from discharging static electricity may cause the fuel
vapors to ignite.
lAlways hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap.
In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck and cause
injury.
lDo not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their
bodies to come close to an open fuel tank.
lDo not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
lDo not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
lDo not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically
charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard.
nWhen replacing the fuel tank cap
Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your
vehicle. Failure to do so may cause a fire or other incident which may result
in death or serious injury.

4−2. Maintenance
Emission inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs
Some states have vehicle emissi on inspection programs which
include OBD (On Board Diagnostics) checks. The OBD system moni
tors the operation of th
e emission control system.
nIf the malfunction indicator lamp comes on
The OBD system determines that
a problem exists somewhere
in the emission control system. Your vehicle may not pass the I/
M test and may need to be repaired. Contact your Toyota dealer
to service the vehicle.
nYour vehicle may not pass the I/M test:
l
When the battery is disconnected or discharged
Readiness codes that are se
t during ordinary driving are
erased.
Also, depending on your driving habits, the readiness codes
may not be completely set.
l
When the fuel tank cap is loose
The malfunction indicator lamp comes on as a temporary mal−
function and your vehicle may not pass the I/M test.
n
When the malfunction indicator lamp goes off after several
driving trips
The error code in the OBD system will not be cleared unless the
vehicle is driven 40 or more times.
nIf your vehicle does not pass the I/M test
Contact your Toyota dealer to prepare the vehicle for re−testing.

Maintenance and care
nEffects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect ti
re inflation pressure may result in the following:
lReduced fuel efficiency
lReduced driving comfort and tire life
lReduced safety
lDamage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent re
filling, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.
nInstructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
lCheck only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours and has not been
driven for more than 1 mile or
1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold
tire inflation pressure reading.
lAlways use a tire pressure gauge.
The appearance of the tire can be mi
sleading. In addition, tire infla−
tion pressures that are even just a few pounds off can degrade ride
and handling.
lDo not bleed or reduce tire inflation pressure after driving. It is normal
for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving.
lNever exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle
is balanced.
