Driving
NOTICE
●Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exces-
sive premature wear or damage to the clutch, eventually making it diffi-
cult to accelerate and start off from
a stop. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal or depress it any time other
than when shifting.
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 pedal to
adjust vehicle speed.
Doing so may damage the clutch.
• When stopping the vehicle with the
shift lever in a position other than N, make sure to fully depress the
clutch pedal and stop the vehicle
using the brakes.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R with-
out the vehicle completely stopped. Doing so may damage the clutch,
transmission and gears.
■When parking the vehicle (vehi-
cles with a Multidrive)
Always set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P. Failure to do so
may cause the vehicle to move or the
vehicle may accelerate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is accidentally
depressed.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully
in either direction and hold it there for an extended period of time.
Doing so may damage the power
steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to
avoid damaging the wheels, under-
side of the vehicle, etc.
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually depress
the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your vehicle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnormally.
Information on what to do in case of a
flat tire (P.482, 498)
■When encountering flooded
roads
Do not drive on a road that has
flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so
may cause the following serious dam- age to the vehicle:
●Engine stalling
●Short in electrical components
●Engine damage caused by water
immersion
In the event that you drive on a
flooded road and the vehicle
becomes flooded or stuck in mud or sand, be sure to have any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer check the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in the quantity and quality
of the engine oil, transaxle fluid,
clutch fluid, differential oil, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the bearings
and suspension joints (where possi- ble), and the function of all joints,
bearings, etc.

■Engine oil consumption
A certain amount of engine oil will be consumed while driving. In the following
situations, oil consumption may
increase, and engine oil may need to be refilled in between oil maintenance inter-
vals.
●When the engine is new, for example
directly after purchasing the vehicle or
after replacing the engine
●If low quality oil or oil of an inappropri-
ate viscosity is used
●When driving at high engine speeds
or with a heavy load, when towing, or when driving while accelerating or
decelerating frequently
●When leaving the engine idling for a
long time, or when driving frequently
through heavy traffic

is between the “FULL” and “LOW”
lines on the reservoir when the

■Used engine oil
●Used engine oil contains poten-
tially harmful contaminants which may cause skin disorders such as
inflammation and skin cancer, so
care should be taken to avoid pro- longed and repeated contact. To
remove used engine oil from your

or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer, service station or auto parts store for information
concerning recycling or disposal.
●Do not leave used engine oil within
the reach of children.

[Reference*])
1ZR-FAE engine
M15A-FKS engine
*: The engine oil capacity is a reference
quantity to be used when changing
the engine oil. Warm up and turn off
the engine, wait more than 5 minutes,
and check the oil level on the dip-
stick.
■Engine oil selection (1ZR-FAE
engine)
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used
in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota rec-
ommends the use of approved
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”.
Another motor oil of matching qual-
ity can also be used.
Oil grade:
0W-20 and 5W-30:
API grade SM “Energy-Conserv-
ing”, SN “Resource-Conserving”,
SN PLUS “Resource-Conserving”
or SP “Resource-Conserving”; or
ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
Preferred
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change
SAE 0W-20 is filled in to your Toyota
vehicle at manufacturing, and the
best choice for good fuel economy
and good starting in cold weather. If
SAE 0W-20 oil is not available,
SAE 5W-30 oil may be used. How-
ever, it should be replaced with
SAE 0W-20 at the ne xt oil change.
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the
characteristic of the oil which
allows cold startability. Oils with a
lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine
in cold weather.
• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the
viscosity characteristic of the oil
when the oil is at high tempera-
ture. An oil with a higher viscos-
