■If your engine knocks
●Consult your Toyota dealer.
● You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerat-
ing or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.
NOTICE
■Notice on fuel quality
● Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be
damaged.
● Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalytic
converters causing the emission control system to malfunction.
● Do not use gasohol other than the type previously stated.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems.
● Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than the
level previously stated will cause persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.
■ Fuel-related poor driveability
If poor driveability is encountered after using a different type of fuel (poor
hot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.), discontinue the use of that
type of fuel.
■ When refueling with gasohol
Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle’s paint.

3248-1. Specifications
This information has been prepared in accordance with regulations
issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the
U.S. Department of Transportation.
It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Toyota
vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading.
Your Toyota dealer will help answer any questions you may have as
you read this information.
■DOT quality grades
All passenger vehicle tires must c onform to Federal Safety Require-
ments in addition to these grades. Quality grades can be found
where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width.
For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
■Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear
rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a speci-
fied government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 wo uld wear one and a half (1 - 1/2)
times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tire s depends upon the actual condi-
tions of their use. Performance may differ significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits , service practices and differences
in road characteristics and climate.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading

3258-1. Specifications

Vehicle specifications
■Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C,
and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking
(straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turn-
ing) traction.
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the hi ghest), B, and C, representing
the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissi-
pate heat when tested under cont rolled conditions on a specified
indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead
to sudden tire failure.
The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all pas-
senger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher le vels of performance on the labo-
ratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a
tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire
failure.

ATTENTION
■Port de la ceinture de sécurité
● Ne pas passer la sangle diagonale sous le bras.
● Faites toujours passer votre ceinture de sécurité au plus bas sur vos
hanches et bien dans l’axe.
■ Dommages et usure de la ceinture de sécurité
Inspectez les ceintures de sécurité périodiquement. Contrôlez qu’elles ne
sont pas entaillées, effilochées, et que leurs ancrages ne sont pas desser-
rés. Ne pas utiliser une ceinture de sécurité défectueuse avant qu’elle ne
soit remplacée. Une ceinture de sécurité défectueuse n’apporte aucune
garantie de protection de l’occupant contre des blessures graves, voire
mortelles.
■ Lorsque vous utilisez la ceinture de sécurité du siège central arrière
●Ne pas utiliser la ceinture de sécurité du
siège central arrière avec une de ses
deux boucles déverrouillée.
Si une seule des boucles est verrouil-
lée, tout freinage brusque ou collision
peut entraîner des blessures graves,
voire mortelles.

For owners
ATTENTION
■Précautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS
Respectez les précautions suivantes concernant les coussins gonflables
SRS.
À défaut, des blessures graves, voire mortelles, pourraient s’ensuivre.
● Le conducteur et tous les passagers à bord du véhicule doivent porter leur
ceinture de sécurité correctement.
Les coussins gonflables SRS sont des dispositifs de protection complé-
mentaires aux ceintures de sécurité.
● Le coussin gonflable SRS conducteur se déploie avec une puissance con-
sidérable et peut occasionner des blessures graves, voire mortelles, \
nota-
mment lorsque le conducteur se trouve très près du coussin gonflable.
L’autorité fédérale chargée de la sécurité routière aux États-Unis, la
NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) conseille:
Sachant que la zone de danger pour le coussin gonflable conducteur se
trouve dans les premiers 50 à 75 mm (2 à 3 pouces) du déploiement,
placez-vous à 250 mm (10 pouces) du coussin gonflable conducteur pour
garantir une marge de sécurité suffisante. Cette distance est à mesurer
entre le moyeu du volant de direction et le sternum. Si vous êtes assis à
moins de 10 in. (250 mm), vous pouvez changer votre position de con-
duite de plusieurs façons:
• Reculez votre siège le plus possible, tout en continuant à pouvoir
atteindre confortablement les pédales.
• Inclinez légèrement le dossier du siège. Bien que les véhicules soient
différents les uns des autres, la plupart des conducteurs peuvent
s’asseoir à une distance de 250 mm (10 in.), même avec le siège con-
ducteur complètement avancé, simplement en inclinant un peu le dos-
sier de siège. Si vous avez des difficultés à voir la route après avoir
incliné votre siège, utilisez un coussin ferme et antidérapant pour vous
rehausser ou, si votre véhicule est équipé du réglage en hauteur du
siège, remontez-le.
• Si votre volant de direction est réglable, inclinez-le vers le bas. Cela vous permet d’orienter le coussin gonflable vers votre buste plutôt que
vers la tête et le cou.
Le siège doit être réglé selon les recommandations de la NHTSA ci-des-
sus, tout en conservant le contrôle des pédales et du volant, et la vue des
commandes au tableau de bord.
