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.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY227
DMake sure to set the jack properly
in the jack point. Raising the ve-
hicle with the jack improperly posi-
tioned will damage the vehicle or
may allow the vehicle to fall off the
jack and cause death or serious in-
jury.
DNever get under the vehicle when
the vehicle is supported by the jack
alone.
DUse the jack only for lifting your
vehicle during wheel changing.
DDo not raise the vehicle with any-
one in the vehicle.
DWhen raising the vehicle, do not
place any objects on top of or un-
derneath the jack.
DRaise the vehicle only high enough
to remove and change the tire.
NOTICE
Do not continue driving with a de-
flated tire. Driving even a short dis-
tance can damage the tire and wheel
beyond repair.

To prepare yourself for an emergency, you

To remove the spare tire:
1. Remove the tool tray.
2. Loosen the bolt and remove it.
Then take the spare tire out of the ve-
hicle.
When storing the spare tire, put it in place
with the inner side of the wheel facing up.
Then secure the tire by repeating the
above removal steps in reverse order to
prevent it from flying forward during a
collision or sudden braking.
—Blocking the wheel
MS41001
2. Block the wheel diagonally opposite
the flat tire to keep the vehicle from
rolling when it is jacked up.
When blocking the wheel, place a wheel
block in front of one of the front wheels
or behind one of the rear wheels.

6. After making sure that no one is in
the vehicle, raise it high enough so
that the spare tire can be installed.
Remember you will need more ground
clearance when putting on the spare tire
than when removing the flat tire.
To raise the vehicle, turn the jack handle
clockwise. As the jack touches the vehicle
and begins to lift, double−check that it is
properly positioned.
CAUTION
Never get under the vehicle when the
vehicle is supported by the jack
alone.
—Changing wheels

7. Remove the wheel bolts and change
tires.
Lift the flat tire straight off and put it
aside.
Roll the spare wheel into position and
align the vehicle side holes with the tire
wheel holes. Then secure the wheel with
the bolts.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY235
—After changing wheels
11. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specifica-
tions designated on page 299 in Section
8. If the pressure is lower, drive slowly to
the nearest service station and fill to the
correct pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire valve
cap as dirt and moisture could get into
the valve core and possibly cause air
leakage. If the cap is missing, have a new
one put on as soon as possible.
12. Restow all the tools, jack and flat
tire securely.
As soon as possible after changing
wheels, tighten the wheel bolts to the
torque specified on page 299 in Section
8 with a torque wrench. Have a technician
repair the flat tire and replace the spare
tire with it.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools, jack and flat tire are securely
placed in their storage locations to
reduce the possibility of death or se-
rious injury during sudden braking,
sudden swerving or an accident.

Aluminium wheels:
Before stowing the flat tire, remove the
center wheel ornament by pushing from
the reverse side.
Be careful not to lose the wheel ornament.

DO−IT−YOURSELF MAINTENANCE: Engine and Chassis271
NOTICE
Tires may have damage to its tire
wheel when receiving impact from the
road surface. Therefore, pay attention
to the following.
zBe sure to use with proper tire
inflation pressure. If the tire infla-
tion pressure is low, the tire may
have greater damage. For detailed
information about tire inflation pres-
sure, see page 299.
zAvoid driving onto high, sharp−
edged objects and other road haz-
ards. Failure to do so can lead to
severe tire damage.
The effectiveness of snow tires is lost
if the tread wears down below 4 mm
(0.16in.).
If you have tire damage such as cuts,
splits, cracks deep enough to expose
the fabric, or bulges indicating internal
damage, the tire should be replaced.
If a tire often goes flat or cannot be prop-
erly repaired due to the size or location
of a cut or other damage, it should be
replaced. If you are not sure, consult with
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
If air loss occurs while driving, do not
continue driving. Driving even a short dis-
tance could damage a tire beyond repair.
Any tires which are over 6 years old
must be checked by a qualified techni-
cian even if damage is not obvious.
Tires deteriorate with age even if they
have never or seldom been used.
This applies also to the spare tire and
tires stored for future use.REPLACING YOUR TIRES
When replacing a tire, use a tire of the
same size and construction, and the
same or greater load capacity as the
originally installed tires.
Using any other size or type of tire may
seriously affect handling, ride, speedome-
ter/odometer calibration, ground clearance,
and clearance between the body and tires
or snow chains.
CAUTION
Observe the following instructions.
Otherwise, an accident may occur re-
sulting in death or serious injuries.
DDo not mix radial, bias belted, or
bias−ply tires on your vehicle, as
this may cause dangerous handling
characteristics resulting in loss of
control.
DDo not use tires other than the
manufacturer ’s recommended size,
as this may cause dangerous han-
dling characteristics resulting in
loss of control.
DDo not mix tires of different makes,
models or tread patterns, and do
not mix tires of remarkably different
treadwear. This may cause danger-
ous handling characteristics result-
ing in loss of control.
Never use second−hand tires on your
To y o t a .
Using tires whose previous history is un-
known is a risk.
Toyota recommends all tires be re-
placed at a time as a set.
See “If you have a flat tire” on page 226
in Section 4 for tire change procedure.
