NOTICE
■Pre-driving check
Trapping small animals in the cooling fan and belts of the engi ne may result
in a malfunction. Check that no small animal enters the engine compartment
and under the vehicle before starting the engine.
■ When driving the vehicle
Vehicles with an automatic transmission
●Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same tim e during
driving, as this may r estrain driving torque.
● Do  not  use  the  accelerator  pedal  or  depress  the  accelerator  and  brake
pedals at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
Vehicles with a manual transmission
● Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same tim e during
driving, as this may r estrain driving torque.
● Do not shift gears unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed.  After shifting,
do not release the clutch pedal abruptly. Doing so may damage t he clutch,
transmission and gears.
● Observe the following to prevent the clutch from being damaged.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. 
Doing so may cause clutch trouble.
• Do not use any gear other than the 1st gear when starting off  and mov-
ing forward. 
Doing so may damage the clutch.
• Do  not  use  the  clutch  to  hold  the  vehicle  when  stopping  on  an  uphill
grade. 
Doing so may damage the clutch.
● Do  not  shift  the  shift  lever  to  R  when  the  vehicle  is  still  moving.  Doing  so
may damage the clutch, transmission and gears.
● Do  not  release  the  clutch  pedal  too  quickly.  Doing  so  may  damag e  the
transmission.
■ When parking the vehicle (vehicl es with an automatic transmission)
Always  shift  the  shift  lever  to  P.  Failure  to  do  so  may  cause  t he  vehicle  to
move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if the accelerator  pedal is acci-
dentally depressed.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Installing the spare tire
Remove  any  dirt  or  foreign  mat-
ter  from  the  wheel  contact  sur-
face.
If foreign matter is on the wheel
contact  surface,  the  wheel  nuts
may  loosen  while  the  vehicle  is
in  motion,  and  the  tire  may
come off the vehicle.
Install  the  spare  tire  and  loosely
tighten  each  wheel  nut  by  hand
to  approximately  the  same
amount.
Tighten  the  wheel  nuts  until  the
tapered  portion  comes  into
loose  contact  with  the  disc
wheel seat.
Lower the vehicle.
Firmly  tighten  each  nut  two  or
three times in the order shown in
the illustration.
Tightening torque:

WARNING
■Replacing a flat tire
●Do  not  touch  the  disc  wheels  or  the  area  around  the  brakes  imme
di-
ately after the vehicle has been driven. 
After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area  around
the brakes will be extremely hot . Touching these areas with han ds, feet
or other body parts w hile changing a tire, etc. may result in b urns.
●Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly o ff the
wheel while the ve hicle is moving.
●Failure  to  follow  these  precautions  could  cause  the  wheel  nuts  to
loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious  injury.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 89 ft•lb f (120
N•m, 12.2 kgf•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
• When  installing  a  tire,  only  use  wheel  nuts  that  have  been  spe cifi-
cally designed for that wheel.
• If  there  are  any  cracks  or  deformations  in  the  bolt  screws,  nu t
threads  or  bolt  holes  of  the  wh eel,  have  the  vehicle  inspected  by
your Toyota dealer.
• When  installing  the  wheel  nuts,  be  sure  to  install  them  with  t he
tapered ends facing inward. ( P. 358)
