2012 TOYOTA DYNA 100/150 power steering

SEATS, SEAT BELTS, STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS35
The driver ’s seat belt pretensioner is
designed to be activated in response to
a severe frontal impact.
When the airbag sensor detects the shock
of a severe frontal impact, the driver ’s
seat belt is quickly drawn back in by the
retractor so that the belt snugly restrains
the driver.
Collisionsoccurring at certain speeds and
angles may cause the seat belt preten-
sioner and SRS airbag not to operate all
together.This indicator comes on when the en-
gine switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion. It goes off after about 6 seconds.
This means the driver ’s seat belt pre-
tensioner is operating properly.
This warning light system monitors the
airbag sensor assembly, airbag sensor,
driver ’s seat belt pretensioner assembly,
inflator, interconnecting wiring and power
sources. (For details, see “Service remind-
er indicators and warning buzzer” on page
73 in Section 1−5.)

SEATS, SEAT BELTS, STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS39
This indicator comes on when the en-
gine switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion. It goes off after about 6 seconds.
This means the SRS airbag is operating
properly.
This warning light system monitors the
airbag sensor assembly, airbag sensor,
driver ’s seat belt pretensioner assembly,
inflator, interconnecting wiring and power
sources. (For details, see “Service
reminder indicators and warning buzzer”
on page 73 in Section 1−5.)The SRS airbag system is designed to
activate in response to a severe frontal
impact within the shaded area between
the arrows in the illustration.
The SRS airbag will deploy in the event
of an impact that exceeds the set thresh-
old level (the level of force corresponding
to an approximately 20−30 km/h [12−18
mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that
does not move or deform).
If the severity of the impact is below the
above threshold level, the SRS airbag
may not deploy.
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher if the vehicle strikes
an object, such as a parked vehicle or
sign pole, which can move or deform on
impact, or if it is involved in an underride
collision (e.g. a collision in which the nose
of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under,
the bed of a truck, etc.).
It is possible that in some collisions at the
lower zone of airbag sensor detection and
activation the SRS airbag and seat belt
pretensioner will not operate all together.
For the safety of all occupants, always
wear your seat belts properly.

144STARTING AND DRIVING
TIRES
DEnsure that your vehicle’s tires are
properly inflated. See page 201 in Sec-
tion 7−2 and page 226 in Section 8 for
instructions.
DThe trailer tires should be inflated to
the pressure recommended by the trail-
er manufacturer in respect to the total
trailer weight.
TRAILER LIGHTS
DCheck for correct operation of the turn
signals and stop lights each time you
hitch up. Direct splicing may damage
your vehicle’s electrical system and
cause a malfunction of your lights.
BREAK−IN SCHEDULE
DToyota recommends that you do not
tow a trailer with a new vehicle or a
vehicle with any new power train com-
ponent (engine, transmission, differen-
tial, wheel bearing, etc.) for the first
800 km (500 miles) of driving.
MAINTENANCE
DIf you tow a trailer, your vehicle will
require more frequent maintenance due
to the additional load.
DRetighten all fixing bolts of the towing
ball and bracket after approximately
1000 km (600 miles) of trailer driving.
PRE−TOWING SAFETY CHECK
DBe sure not to exceed designated max-
imum load for the ball coupling of the
towing bracket. Please remember that
the ball coupling load will increase the
load on the vehicle. Maximum permissi-
ble rear axle capacity must not be ex-
ceeded.
DMake sure the trailer cargo is securely
loaded so that it cannot shift.
DIf the traffic behind the trailer cannot
be seen properly with the standard rear
view mirrors, additional outside mirrors
will be necessary. Both outside mirrors
must be fitted on folding arms and ad-
justed to give a good rear view at all
times.
TRAILER TOWING TIPS
Your vehicle will handle differently
when towing a trailer. In order to avoid
accident, death or serious injury, keep
the following in mind when towing:
DBefore starting out, check operation of
the lights and all vehicle−trailer connec-
tions. After driving a short distance,
stop and recheck the lights and con-
nections. Before actually towing a trail-
er, practice turning, stopping and back-
ing with a trailer in an area away from
traffic until you learn the feel.
DBecause stopping distance may be in-
creased, vehicle−to−vehicle distance
should be increased when towing a
trailer. For each 10 km/h (6 mph) of
speed, allow at least one vehicle and
trailer length between you and the ve-
hicle ahead. Avoid sudden braking as
you may skid, resulting in jackknifing
and loss of control. This is especially
true on wet or slippery surfaces.
DAvoid jerky starts or sudden accelera-
tion. Prevent excessive clutch slippage
by keeping engine rpm low and not
racing the engine. Always start out in
first gear.
DAvoid jerky steering and sharp turns.
The trailer could hit your vehicle in a
tight turn. Slow down before making a
turn to avoid the necessity of sudden
braking.
Dyna100/150_EE

STARTING AND DRIVING147
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, carbure-
tor out of adjustment, improper valve
clearance, dirty plugs, dirty oil and
grease, brakes not adjusted, etc. all
lower engine performance and contrib-
ute 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.
Dyna100/150_EE

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY175
Only in an emergency, such as if it
becomes impossible to stop the vehicle
in the normal way, stop the vehicle us-
ing the following procedure:
1. Steadily step on the brake pedal with
both feet and firmly depress it. Do not
pump the brake pedal repeatedly as
this will increase the effort required to
slow the vehicle.
2. Shift the shift lever to neutral.
If the shift lever is shifted to neutral:
3. After slowing down, stop the vehicle in
a safe place by the road.
4. Stop the engine.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted to
neutral:
3. Keep depressing the brake pedal with
both feet to reduce vehicle speed as
much as possible.
4. Stop the engine by turning the engine
switch to the “ACC” position.
5. Stop the vehicle in a safe place by the
road.
CAUTION
If the engine has to be turned off
while driving:
DPower assist for the brakes and
steering wheel will be lost, making
the brake pedal harder to depress
and the steering wheel heavier to
turn. Decelerate as much as pos-
sible before turning off the engine.
DNever attempt to remove the key, as
doing so will lock the steering
wheel.

194DO−IT−YOURSELF MAINTENANCE: Introduction
NOTICE
zRemember that battery cables carry
high currents. Be careful of acci-
dentally causing a short circuit.
zAdd only “Toyota Super Long Life
Coolant” or similar high quality eth-
ylene glycol based non−silicate,
non−amine, non−nitrite, and non−bo-
rate coolant with long−life hybrid
organic acid technology to fill the
radiator. “Toyota Super Long Life
Coolant” is a mixture of 50% cool-
ant and 50% deionized water.
zIf you spill some of the coolant, be
sure to wash it off with water to
prevent it from damaging the parts
or paint.
zDo not overfill power steering fluid,
or the power steering could be
damaged.
zIf you spill brake fluid, be sure to
wash it off with water to prevent it
from damaging the parts or paint.
zDo not drive with the air cleaner
filter removed, or excessive engine
wear could result.
zBe careful not to scratch the glass
surface with the wiper frame.
zWhen closing the engine access
hole cover or lowering the cab,
check to see that you have not for-
gotten any tools, rags, etc.
