airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, before you dispose of your vehicle.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM185
The air conditioning filter may clog af-
ter long term use. The filter may need
to be replaced if the air flow of the air
conditioning and heating and defrosting
experiences extreme reductions in oper-
ating 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. (For scheduled maintenance informa-
tion, please refer to the “Toyota Service
Booklet” or “Toyota Warranty Booklet”.)

1. Pull out the air conditioning filter as
shown in the illustration.
2. Inspect the filter on the surface.
If it is dirty, it should be replaced.
INFORMATION
The air filter should be installed prop-
erly in position. The use of air condi-
tioning with the air filter removed
may cause deteriorated dustproof per-
formance and then affect air condi-
tioning performance.

INFORMATION BEFORE DRIVING YOUR TOYOTA197
The three−way catalytic converter is an
emission control device installed in the
exhaust system.
The purpose is to reduce pollutants in the
exhaust gas.
CAUTION
DKeep people and combustible mate-
rials away from the exhaust pipe
while the engine is running. The
exhaust gas is very hot.
DDo not drive, idle or park your ve-
hicle over anything that might burn
easily such as grass, leaves, paper
or rags.
NOTICE
A large amount of unburned gases
flowing into the three−way catalytic
converter may cause it to overheat
and create a fire hazard. To prevent
this and other damage, observe the
following precautions:
zUse only unleaded gasoline.
zDo not drive with an extremely low
fuel level; running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, creat-
ing an excessive load on the three−
way catalytic converter.
zDo not allow the engine to run at
idle speed for more than 20 min-
utes.
zAvoid racing the engine.
zDo not push−start or pull−start your
vehicle.
zDo not turn off the engine while the
vehicle is moving.
zKeep your engine in good running
order. Malfunctions in the engine
electrical system, electronic ignition
system/distributor ignition system
or fuel system could cause an ex-
tremely high three−way catalytic
converter temperature.
zIf the engine becomes difficult to
start or stalls frequently, take your
vehicle in for a check−up to any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
zTo ensure that the three−way
catalytic converter and the entire
emission control system operate
properly, your vehicle must receive
the periodic inspections required by
the Toyota Maintenance Schedule.
For scheduled maintenance
information, refer to the “Toyota
Service Booklet” or “Toyota
Warranty Booklet”.

Three−way catalytic converter

STARTING AND DRIVING217
DMaintain a moderate speed on high-
ways.The faster you drive, the greater
the fuel consumption. By reducing your
speed, you will cut down on fuel con-
sumption.
DKeep the front wheels in proper
alignment.Avoid hitting the curb and
slow down on rough roads. Improper
alignment not only causes faster tire
wear but also puts an extra load on
the engine, which, in turn, wastes fuel.
DKeep the bottom of your vehicle free
from mud, etc.This not only lessens
weight but also helps prevent corro-
sion.
DKeep your vehicle tuned−up and in
top shape.A dirty air cleaner, improp-
er valve clearance, dirty plugs, dirty oil
and grease, brakes not adjusted, etc.
all lower engine performance and con-
tribute to poor fuel economy. For longer
life of all parts and lower operating
costs, keep all maintenance work on
schedule, and if you often drive under
severe conditions, see that your vehicle
receives more frequent maintenance.
CAUTION
Never turn off the engine to coast
down hills. Your power steering and
brake booster will not function with-
out the engine running. Also, the
emission control system operates
properly only when the engine is run-
ning.

Your Toyota has been designed for eco-
nomical driving and economical mainte-
nance. Many formerly required mainte-
nance items are no longer required or are
not required as often. To make sure your
vehicle runs at peak efficiency, follow the
maintenance schedule.
For full details of your maintenance
schedule, read the separate “Toyota
Service Booklet” or “Toyota Warranty
Booklet”.Where to go for service?
In order to maintain your vehicle in the
highest possible condition, Toyota
recommends that all repairs and service
operations are carried out by authorized
Toyota dealers or repairers or other duly
qualified and equipped professionals. For
repairs and services covered by your
warranty, please visit an authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, who will use genuine
Toyota parts in repairing any difficulties
you may encounter. There can also be
advantages to utilizing authorized Toyota
dealers or repairers for non−warranty
repairs and services, as due to their
specialization in working with Toyota
vehicles, members of the Toyota network
will be able to expertly assist you with
any difficulties you may encounter.
Your Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional
service department will perform all of the
scheduled maintenance on your ve-
hicle—reliably and economically.
What about do−it−yourself maintenance?
Many of the maintenance items are easy
to do yourself if you have a little mechani-
cal ability and a few basic automotive
tools. Simple instructions for how to per-
form them are presented on page 257 in
Section 7.

MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS255
Note, however, that some maintenance
tasks require special tools and skills.
These are best performed by qualified
technicians. Even if you’re an experienced
do−it−yourself mechanic, we recommend
that repairs and maintenance be
conducted by an authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional. Any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer will keep a
record of maintenance, which could be
useful should you ever require Warranty
Service. Should you choose to select a
qualified and equipped professional other
than an authorized Toyota repairer to
service or maintain your vehicle, we
recommend that you request that a record
of maintenance be kept.
The service interval for scheduled main-
tenance is determined by the odometer
reading or time interval, whichever
comes first, shown in the schedule.
Rubber hoses (for cooling and heater
system, brake system and fuel system)
should be inspected by a qualified tech-
nician in accordance with the Toyota
maintenance schedule.
They are particularly important mainte-
nance items. Have any deteriorated or
damaged hoses replaced immediately.
Note that rubber hoses will deteriorate
with age, resulting in swelling, chafing or
cracks.Be on the alert for changes in perfor-
mance, sounds, and visual tip−offs that
indicate service is needed. Some impor-
tant clues are as follows:
DEngine missing, stumbling, or pinging
DAppreciable loss of power
DStrange engine noises
DA leak under the vehicle (however, wa-
ter dripping from the air conditioning
after use is normal.)
DChange in exhaust sound (This may
indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide
leak. Drive with the windows open and
have the exhaustsystem checked im-
mediately.)
DFlat−looking tire; excessive tire squeal
when cornering; uneven tire wear
DVehicle pulls to one side when driving
straight on a level road
DStrange noises related to suspension
movement
DLoss of brake effectiveness; spongy
feeling brake or clutch pedal; pedal al-
most touches floor; vehicle pulls to one
side when braking
DEngine coolant temperature continually
higher than normal
If you notice any of these cues, take your
vehicle to any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, as soon as pos-
sible. It probably needs adjustment or re-
pair.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving with the ve-
hicle unchecked. It could result in se-
rious vehicle damage and possibly
personal injury.
