2014 TOYOTA DYNA 100/150 inflation pressure

138STARTING AND DRIVING
CAUTION
DObserve the legal maximum speeds
for trailer towing.
DSlow down and downshift before
descending steep or long downhill
grades. Do not make sudden down-
shifts while descending steep or
long downhill grades.
DAvoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This
could cause the brakes to overheat
and result in reduced braking effi-
ciency.
Improving fuel economy is easy—just take
it easy. It will help make your vehicle last
longer, too. Here are some specific tips
on how to save money on both fuel and
repairs:
DKeep your tires inflated at the cor-
rect pressure.Underinflation causes
tire wear and wastes fuel. See page
193 in Section 7−2 for instructions.
DDo not carry unneeded weight in
your vehicle.Excess weight puts a
heavier load on the engine, causing
greater fuel consumption.
DAvoid lengthy warm−up idling.Once
the engine is running smoothly, begin
driving—but gently. Remember, howev-
er, that on cold winter days this may
take a little longer.
DAccelerate slowly and smoothly.
Avoid jackrabbit starts. Get into high
gear as quickly as possible.
DAvoid long engine idling.If you have
a long wait and you are not in traffic,
it is better to turn off the engine and
start again later.
DAvoid engine lugging or over−rev-
ving.Use a gear position suitable for
the road on which you are travelling.
DAvoid continuous speeding up and
slowing down.Stop−and−go driving
wastes fuel.
DAvoid unnecessary stopping and
braking.Maintain a steady pace. Try
to time the traffic signals so you only
need to stop as little as possible or
take advantage of through streets to
avoid traffic lights. Keep a proper dis-
tance from other vehicles to avoid sud-
den braking. This will also reduce wear
on your brakes.
DAvoid heavy traffic or traffic jams
whenever possible.
DDo not rest your foot on the clutch
or brake pedal.This causes premature
wear, overheating and poor fuel econo-
my.

How to save fuel and make
your vehicle last longer

162IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
11. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specification
designated on page 218 in Section 8. If
the pressure is lower, drive slowly to the
nearest service station and fill to the cor-
rect pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire inflation
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.
Front and single rear tires—
As soon after changing wheels as pos-
sible, tighten the wheel nuts to the torque
specified on page 218 in Section 8 with
a torque wrench. Have a technician repair
the flat tire.
Double rear tires—
As soon after changing wheels as pos-
sible, tighten the stop bolts and wheel
nuts to the torque specified on page 218
in Section 8 with a torque wrench. Have
a technician repair the flat tire.
This is the same procedure for changing
or rotating your tires.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools, jack and flat tire are securely
in place in their storage location to
reduce the possibility of death or se-
rious injury during sudden braking,
sudden swerving or an accident.
If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt
to rock the vehicle free by moving it
forward and backward.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle
free by moving it forward and back-
ward if people or objects are any-
where near the vehicle. During the
rocking operation the vehicle may
suddenly move forward or backward
as it becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or ob-
jects.
NOTICE
If you rock your vehicle, observe the
following precautions to prevent dam-
age to the transmission and other
parts.
zDo not race the engine and avoid
spinning the wheels.
zIf your vehicle remains stuck after
rocking the vehicle several times,
consider other ways such as tow-
ing.

DO−IT−YOURSELF MAINTENANCE: Engine and Chassis193
Keep your tire inflation pressures at the
proper level.
The recommended cold tire inflation pres-
sures and tire sizes are given on page
218 in Section 8.
You should check the tire inflation pres-
sure every two weeks, or at least once a
month. And do not forget the spare!
Incorrect tire inflation pressure may waste
fuel, reduce the comfort of driving, reduce
tire life and make your vehicle less safe
to drive.
If a tire frequently needsrefilling,have it
checked by any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
The following instructions for checking
tire inflation pressure should be ob-
served:
DThe pressure should be checked only
when the tires are cold.If your ve-
hicle has been parked for at least 3
hours and has not been driven for
more than 1.5 km or 1 mile since, you
will get an accurate cold tire inflation
pressure reading.
DAlways use a tire pressure gauge.
The appearance of a tire can be mis-
leading. Besides, tire inflation pressur-
es that are even just a few pounds off
can degrade ride and handling.
DDo not bleed or reduce tire inflation
pressure after driving.It is normal for
the tire inflation pressure to be higher
after driving.
DBe sure to reinstall the tire valve
caps.Without the valve caps, dirt or
moisture could get into the valve core
and cause air leakage. If the caps
have been lost, have new ones put on
as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Keep your tires properly inflated.
Otherwise, the following conditions
may occur and cause an accident re-
sulting in death or serious injuries.
Low tire pressure (underinflation)—
DExcessive wear
DUneven wear
DPoor handling
DPossibility of blowouts from an
overheated tire
DPoor sealing of the tire bead
DWheel deformation and/or tire sepa-
ration
DA greater possibility of tire damage
from road hazards
High tire pressure (overinflation)—
DPoor handling
DExcessive wear
DUneven wear
DA greater possibility of tire damage
from road hazards
