STARTING AND DRIVING211
Before starting the engine, be sure to
follow the instructions in “(a) Before
cranking”.
Normal starting procedure
The multiport fuel injection system/sequen-
tial multiport fuel injection system in your
engine automatically controls the proper
air−fuel mixture for starting. You can start
a cold or hot engine as follows:
Multi−mode manual transmission:With
your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn
the engine switch to the “START” posi-
tion and crank the engine while depress-
ing the brake pedal. Release the key
when the engine starts. The engine can-
not be cranked if the shift lever is in a
position except “N” or the brake pedal
is not depressed.
Manual transmission:With your foot off
the accelerator pedal, crank the engine
by turning the engine switch to the
“START” position. Release it when the
engine starts.
Engine should be warmed up by driving,
not idling. For warming up drive with a
smoothly turning engine until the engine
coolant temperature is within the normal
range.
If the engine stalls...
Simply restart it, using the correct proce-
dure given in normal starting.
If the engine will not start...
See “If your vehicle will not start” on page
220 in Section 4.
NOTICE
zDo not crank for more than 30 se-
conds at a time. This may overheat
the starter and wiring systems.
zDo not race a cold engine.
zIf the engine becomes difficult to
start or stalls frequently, have the
engine checked immediately.
Pre−trip safety check
It is a good idea to do a safety check
before starting out on a trip. A few min-
utes of checking can help ensure safe and
pleasant driving. Just a basic familiarity
with your vehicle is required and a careful
eye! Or, if you would like, any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional, will
be pleased to make this check for you at
nominal cost.
CAUTION
If you make this check in an enclosed
garage, make sure there is adequate
ventilation. Engine exhaust is poison-
ous.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
Outside the vehicle
Tires.Check the pressure with a gauge
and look carefully for cuts, damage, or
excessive wear.
Wheel bolts.Make sure no bolts are mis-
sing or loose.
Fluid leaks.After the vehicle has been
parked for a while, check underneath for
leaking fuel, oil, water, or fluid. (Water
dripping from the air conditioning after use
is normal.)
Lights.Make sure the headlights, stop
lights, tail lights, turn signals and other
lights are all working. Check the headlight
aim.
Inside the vehicle
Spare tire, jack and wheel bolt wrench.
Check the spare tire pressure and make
sure you have your jack and wheel bolt
wrench.

Winter driving tips
Make sure your coolant is properly pro-
tected against freezing.
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant”
or similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non−silicate, non−amine, non−nitrite,
and non−borate coolant with long−life hy-
brid organic acid technology. (Coolant with
long−life hybrid organic acid technology is
a combination of low phosphates and or-
ganic acids.)
See “Checking the engine coolant level”
on page 267 in Section 7−2 for details of
coolant type selection.
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mix-
ture of 50% coolant and 50% deionized
water. This coolant provides protection
down to about−35_C(−31_F).
NOTICE
Do not use plain water alone.
Check the condition of the battery and
cables.
Cold temperatures reduce the capacity of
any battery, so it must be in top shape
to provide enough power for winter start-
ing. Section 7−3 tells you how to visually
inspect the battery. Any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional, will be
pleased to check the level of charge.
Make sure the engine oil viscosity is
suitable for the cold weather.
See page 264 in Section 7−2forrecom-
mended viscosity. Leaving a heavy sum-
mer oil in your vehicle during winter
months may make starting harder. If you
are not sure about which oil to use, call
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped
professional, they will be pleased to help.
Keep the door locks from freezing.
Squirt lock de−icer or glycerine into the
locks to keep them from freezing.Use a washer fluid containing an anti-
freeze solution.
This product is available at any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer and most auto
parts stores or another qualified profes-
sional. Follow the manufacturer ’s direc-
tions for how much to mix with water.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or any
other substitute because it may dam-
age your vehicle’s paint.
Do not use your parking brake when
there is a possibility it could freeze.
When parking, put the transmission into
“M(1)”, “E(1)” or “R” (multi−mode manual
transmission), or into first or reverse
(manual transmission) and block the rear
wheels. Do not use the parking brake,
snow or water accumulated in and around
the parking brake mechanism may freeze,
making it hard to release.
Keep ice and snow from accumulating
under the fenders.
Ice and snow built up under your fenders
can make steering difficult. During bad
winter driving, stop and check under the
fenders occasionally.
Depending on where you are driving,
we recommend you carry some emer-
gency equipment.
Some of the things you might put in the
vehicle are tire chains, a window scraper,
a bag of sand or salt, flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, etc.

226IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
4. If the coolant is leaking, stop the en-
gine immediately. Call any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped profession-
al, for assistance.
5. If there are no obvious leaks, check
the coolant reservoir. If it is dry, add
coolant to the reservoir while the
engine is running. Fill it about half full.
For the coolant type see “Coolant type
selection” on page 267 in Section 7−2.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine and radiator are
hot. Serious injury could result from
scalding hot fluid and steam blown
out under pressure.
6. After the engine coolant temperature
has cooled to normal, again check the
coolant level in the reservoir. If
necessary, bring it up to half full again.
Serious coolant loss indicates a leak in
the system. You should have it
checked as soon as possible at any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped
professional.1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place well away from
the traffic. Avoid stopping on the center
divider of a highway. Park on a level
spot with firm ground.
2. Stop the engine and turn on your
emergency flashers.
3.Manual transmission:
Firmly set the parking brake and put
the transmission in reverse.
Multi−mode manual transmission:
Securely apply the parking brake and
turn the engine switch “ON”. After the
operation, shift the shift lever to “M(1)”,
“E(1)” or “R”.
4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle
onthesideawayfromtraffic.
5. Read the following instructions thor-
oughly.
CAUTION
When jacking, be sure to observe the
following to help reduce the possibil-
ity of death or serious injury:
DFollow jacking instructions.
DDo not put any part of your body
under a vehicle supported by a
jack. Otherwise, death or serious
injury may occur.
DDo not start or run the engine while
your vehicle is supported by the
jack.
DStop the vehicle on a level firm
ground, firmly set the parking brake
and put the transmission in reverse.
Block the wheel diagonally opposite
to the one being changed if neces-
sary.
