The spare wheel is stored under the floor of the car-
go bed.
A- Spare wheel
CAUTIONl When removing the spare wheel, put on
gloves. Removing the spare wheel with
your bare hands may cause injury to the
fingers.CAUTIONl Check the air pressure of the spare wheel
frequently and make sure it is ready for
emergency use at any time.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no
choice but to drive with an insufficient
tyre pressure, keep your speed down and
inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as
soon as possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation
pressures” on page 8-12.)
Maintaining the spare wheel at the high-
est specified air pressure will ensure that
it can always be used under any condi-
tions (city/high-speed driving, varying
load weight, etc.).
To remove
1.Set the jack handle. (Club cab, Double cab
with rear retractable power window only)
( Refer to “To use the jack handle” on page
6-12.)
2. Insert the jack handle (A) in the hole (B) be-
low the rear gate.
3. Securely insert the pin (C) on the jack handle
into the holder (D) of the spare wheel carrier.
4. Insert the wheel nut wrench (E) through the
end of the jack handle hole (F), and then turn
it anticlockwise to lower the spare wheel com-
pletely to the ground and to slack the chain.

Vehicle care precautionsE00900100870
In order to maintain the value of your vehicle, it is
necessary to perform regular maintenance using the
proper procedures. Always maintain your vehicle
in compliance with environmental pollution control
regulations. Carefully select the materials used for
washing, etc., to be sure that they do not contain cor-
rosives. If in doubt, we recommend you to consult
a specialist for selection of these materials.CAUTIONl Cleaning products can be dangerous.
Some are poisonous. Others can burst in-
to flame if you strike a match or drop
them on a hot part of the vehicle. Some
are dangerous if you breathe their fumes
in a closed space. When you use anything
in a container to clean your vehicle, al-
ways follow the instructions and always
open your vehicle doors or windows when
you’re cleaning the inside. Never use the
following to clean your vehicle: • Petrol
• Paint Thinner
• Benzine
• Kerosene
• Turpentine
• Naphtha
• Lacquer Thinner
• Carbon Tetrachloride
• Nail Polish Remover
• Acetone
l These are all dangerous, and can damage
your vehicle.Cleaning the interior of your
vehicle E00900200288
After cleaning the interior of your vehicle with wa-
ter, cleaner or similar, wipe and dry in a shady, well-
ventilated area.CAUTIONl Do not use organic substances (solvents,
benzine, kerosene, alcohol, petrol, etc.) or
alkaline or acidic solutions.
These chemicals can cause discolouring,
staining or cracking of the surface.
If you use cleaners or polishing agents,
make sure their ingredients do not in-
clude the substances mentioned above.
NOTE
l Always read the instructions on the cleaner la-
bel.
Plastic, vinyl leather, fabric and
flocked parts E00900300045
1.Gently wipe off with gauze or other soft

well. Using this cloth, wipe off the detergent
thoroughly.
NOTE
l Do not use cleaners, conditioners, and protec-
tants containing silicons or wax.
Such products may cause annoying reflec-
tions and obscure vision.Upholstery E00900500018
1.To maintain the value of your new vehicle,
handle the upholstery carefully and keep the
interior clean.
Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to clean the

CAUTIONlDo not use a scrubbing brush or other
hard tools as they may damage the plastic
part surface.
l Do not use wax containing compound (pol-
ishing powder) which may damage the
plastic part surface.
l Do not bring the plastic parts into contact
with petrol, light oil, brake fluids, engine
oils, greases, paint thinners, and sulphu-
ric acid (battery electrolyte) which may
crack, stain or discolour the plastic parts.
If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them
off with soft cloth, chamois or the like
and an aqueous solution of neutral deter-
gent then immediately rinse the affected
parts with water.Chrome parts E00901400014
In order to prevent spots and corrosion of chrome
parts, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and apply a
special protective coating. This should be done
more frequently in winter.
Aluminium wheels* E00901500116
1.Remove dirt using a sponge while sprinkling
water on the vehicle.
2. Use neutral detergent on any dirt that cannot
be removed easily with water.
Rinse off the neutral detergent after washing
the vehicle.
3. Dry the vehicle thoroughly using a chamois
leather or a soft cloth.
CAUTIONl Do not use a brush or other hard imple-
ment on the wheels.
Doing so could scratch the wheels.
l Do not use any cleaner that contains an
abrasive substance or is acidic or alka-
line. Doing so could cause the coating on
the wheels to peel or become discoloured
or stained.
l Do not directly apply hot water using a
steam cleaner or by any other means.
l Contact with seawater and road deicer
can cause corrosion. Rinse off such sub-
stances as soon as possible.Window glass E00901600058
The window glass can normally be cleaned using
only a sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can be used to remove oil, grease,
dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe dry
with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Never use the same
cloth to wipe the window glass as would be used to
wipe the paintwork; wax from the painted surfaces
could adhere to the glass and reduce its transparen-
cy and visibility.
NOTE l To clean the inside of the rear window, al-
ways use a soft cloth and wipe the window
glass along the demister heater element so as
not to cause damage.
Wiper blades E00901700017
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove grease,
dead insects, etc., from the wiper blades. Replace
the wiper blades when they no longer wipe proper-
ly. (Refer to page “Wiper blades” on page 8-17.)Cleaning the sunroof* E00901800180
Clean the inside of the sunroof with a soft cloth.
Hard deposits should be wiped away with a cloth
dipped in warm, neutral detergent solution. Wipe
away the solution with a sponge dipped in fresh wa-
ter.
NOTE l The surface treatment on the inside of the
glass may be removed if hard cloth or organ-
ic solvent (benzine, kerosene, thinner, etc.) is
used.
Engine compartment E00902100265
Clean the engine compartment at the beginning and
end of winter. Pay particular attention to flanges,
crevices and peripheral parts where dust containing
road chemicals and other corrosive materials might
collect.
If salt and other chemicals are used on the roads in
your area, clean the engine compartment at least ev-
ery three months.
Never spray or splash water on the electrical com-
ponents in the engine compartment, as this may
cause damage.
Do not bring the nearby parts, the plastic parts and
so on into contact with sulphuric acid (battery elec-
trolyte) which may crack, stain or discolour them.

Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and lubricate if neces-
sary by first cleaning and then applying multipur-
pose grease.For cold and snowy weather E01002800257
Ventilation slots
The ventilation slots in front of the windscreen
should be kept clear of leaves or brushed clear after
heavy snowfall, so that the operation of the heating
and ventilation systems will not be impaired.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the
doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with sili-
cone grease or spray.
Additional equipment
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-han-
dled spade in the vehicle during the winter so that
you can clear away snow if you get stranded. A
small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehi-
cle and a plastic scraper for the windscreen and
rear window are also useful.Fusible links E01002900030
The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if a
large current attempts to flow through certain elec-
trical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.

4.Referring to the fuse load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem.
C- Fuse is OK
D- Blown fuse
NOTE l If any system does not function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, there
may be a fault in the system elsewhere. We
recommend you to have your vehicle checked.
5. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity by us-
ing the fuse puller into the same place at the
fuse block.CAUTIONl If the newly inserted fuse blows again af-
ter a short time, we recommend you to
have the electrical system checked to find
the cause and rectify it.
l Never use a fuse with a capacity larger
than that specified or any substitute, such
as wire, foil, etc.; doing so will cause the
circuit wiring to heat up and could cause
a fire.Replacement of lamp bulbs E01003100710
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is off. Do
not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your
bare fingers; the skin oil left on the glass will evap-
orate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will
condense on the reflector and dim the surface.CAUTIONl Bulbs are extremely hot immediately af-
ter being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool
sufficiently before touching it. You could
otherwise be burnt.
NOTE
l If you are unsure of how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to con-
sult a specialist.
l Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body
when removing a lamp or lens.
l When it rains or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon
as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob-
lem. When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water gath-
ers inside the lamp, we recommend you to
have the lamp checked.
Bulb capacity E01003200085
When replacing a bulb, use a new bulb with the
same wattage and colour.
