INFORMATION BEFORE DRIVING YOUR TOYOTA127
The brake pad wear indicators on your
disc brakes give a warning noise when
the brake pads are worn to where re-
placement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise
while driving, have the brake pads
checked and replaced by your nearest au-
thorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional, immediately.
Avoid continuous driving with the warning
noise.
Continuous driving without replacing the
brake pads will cause expensive rotor
damage and increasing brake pedal effort
to get the same stopping distance.When stowing cargo and luggage in or on
the vehicle, observe the following:
DPut cargo and luggage in the rear deck
when at all possible. Be sure all items
are secured in place.
DBe careful to keep the vehicle bal-
anced. Locating the weight as far for-
ward as possible helps maintain bal-
ance.
DFor better fuel economy, do not carry
unneeded weight.
CAUTION
DNever allow anyone to ride in the
luggage compartment. It is not de-
signed for passengers. They should
ride in their seats with their seat
belts properly fastened. Otherwise,
they are much more likely to suffer
death or serious bodily injury, in
the event of sudden braking or a
collision.
DDo not drive with objects left on
top of the instrument panel. They
may interfere with the driver’s field
of view. Or they may move during
sharp vehicle acceleration or turn-
ing, and impair the driver ’s control
of the vehicle. In an accident they
may injure the vehicle occupants.
