Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty sur-
faces with a cloth dampened with
lukewarm water.
 If dirt cannot be removed, wipe it
off with a soft cloth dampened
with neutral detergent diluted to
approximately 1%.
Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent
and water.
■Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-
type cleaners available. Use a sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub in over-lapping circles. Do not use water. Wipe
dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keeping the car-pet as dry as possible.
■Handling the seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also check the belts periodically for exces-
sive wear, fraying or cuts.
NOTICE
■When using a high pressure car wash
●Vehicles with rear view monitor sys-tem: When washing the vehicle, do not spray the camera or its sur-
rounding area directly with a high pressure washer. Shock applied from high pressure water may
cause the device to not operate normally.
●Vehicles with Toyota Safety Sense: Do not spray water directly on the radar which is equipped behind the
emblem. Otherwise it may cause the device to be damaged.
●Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or resin manufac-tured cover), connectors or the fol-
lowing parts. The parts may be damaged if they come into contact with high-pressure water.
• Traction related parts
• Steering parts
• Suspension parts
• Brake parts
●Keep the cleaning nozzle at least 30 cm (11.9 in.) away from the vehi-cles body. Otherwise resin section,
such as moldings and bumpers, may be deformed and damaged. Also, do not continuously hold the
nozzle in the same place.
●Do not spray the lower part of the
windshield continuously. If water enters the air conditioning system intake located near the lower part of
the windshield, the air conditioning system may not operate correctly.
●Do not wash the underside of the vehicle using a high pressure car washer.

request that a record of maintenance
be kept.
■Does your vehicle need repairs?
Be on the alert for changes in perfor- mance and sounds, and visual tip-offs
that indicate service is needed. Some important clues are:
●Engine misses (misfire), stumbling or pinging
●Appreciable loss of power
●Strange engine noises
●A fluid leak under the vehicle (How-ever, water dripping from the air con-
ditioning system after use is normal.)
●Change in exhaust sound (This may
indicate a dangerous carbon monox- ide leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system checked
immediately.)
●Flat-looking tires, excessive tire
squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear
●Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road
●Strange noises related to suspension movement
●Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal (vehicles with a manual transmission),
pedal almost touches the floor, vehicle pulls to one side when braking
●Engine coolant temperature continu-ally higher than normal ( P.81, 84)
If you notice any of these clues, take
your vehicle to any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer as soon as possi-
ble. Your vehicle may need adjustment
or repair.

start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is high. ( P.272)
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying
or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner fil-ter
Driving with the air cleaner filter
removed may cause excessive engine wear due to dirt in the air.
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.If the reservoir needs frequent refill-
ing, it may indicate a serious problem.

WARNING
■Replacing a tire
●Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious
injury:
Do not touch the disc wheels or the
area around the brakes immediately
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. Touch-
ing these areas with hands, feet or
other body parts while changing a tire,
etc., may result in burns.
●Failure to follow these precautions
could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the tire to fall off, result-ing in death or serious injury.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 103 N•m (10.5
kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
• When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifi-cally designed for that wheel.
• If there are any cracks or deforma- tions in the bolt screws, nut threads
or bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

When using a flat-bed truck to
transport the vehicle, use tire strap-
ping belts. Refer to the owner’s
manual of the flat-bed truck for the
tire strapping method.
In order to suppress vehicle move-
ment during transportation, set the
parking brake and turn the engine
switch off.
If a tow truck is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables or
chains secured to the emergency
towing eyelets. This should only be
attempted on hard surfaced roads
for at most 80 km (50 miles) at
under 30 km/h (18 mph).
A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles,
steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
To have your vehicle towed by
another vehicle, the towing eyelet
must be installed to your vehicle.
Install the towing eyelet using the
following procedure.
1 Take out the towing eyelet.
( P.285, 325)
2 Remove the eyelet cover using
a flathead screwdriver.
To protect the bodywork, place a rag
between the screwdriver and the vehi- cle body as shown in the illustration.
