2906-2. Maintenance
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 missing, 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. 8 8 )
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.

■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
skin, wash thoro ughly with soap and water.
●Dispose of used oil and filters only in a safe and acceptable manner.
Do not dispose of used oil and fil-
ters in household trash, in sewers or onto the ground. Call any author-
ized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional, service station or auto
parts store for information concern-
ing recycling or disposal.
●Do not leave used engine oil within
the reach of children.

Maintenance and care
When replacing wheels, care
should be taken to ensure that they
are equivalent to those removed in
load capacity, diameter, rim width
and inset*.
Replacement wheels are available
at any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
*: Conventionally referred to as offset.
Toyota does not recommend using
the following:
Wheels of different sizes or types
Used wheels
Bent wheels that have been
straightened
■When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters that allow the tire pressure
warning system to provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire
inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are
replaced, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters mu st be installed.
( P.304)
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or
heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire
may separate from the wheel
or cause a loss of handling
control.
Wheel selection
WA R N I N G
■When replacing wheels
●Do not use wheels that are a differ-
ent size from those recommended in the Owner’s Manual, as this may
result in a loss of handling control.
●Never use an inner tube in a leak-
ing wheel which is designed for a
tubeless tire. Doing so may result in
an accident, causing death or seri- ous injury.
■When installing the wheel nuts
Never use oil or grease on the wheel
bolts or wheel nuts. Oil and grease
may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened, leading to bolt
or disc wheel damage. In addition, the
oil or grease can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall
off, causing an accident and resulting
in death or serious injury. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts
or wheel nuts.
■Use of defective wheels prohib-
ited
Do not use cracked or deformed wheels. Doing so could cause the tire
to leak air during driving, possibly
causing an accident.
NOTICE
■Replacing tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters
●Because tire repair or replacement may affect the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters, make sure
to have tires serviced by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer or other qualified service shop. In addition, make sure to pur-
chase your tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.

●Replace only with the same or equiva-
lent type recommended by the manu- facturer.
●Dispose of used batteries according to local laws.
NOTICE
■When removing the glove box
Do not forcibly pull the glove box.
Otherwise, the lower claws or the
lower claw engagement points may be deformed, making it difficult to
reinstall or close the glove box.
■When using the air conditioning
system
Make sure that a filter is always installed.
Using the air conditioning system
without a filter may cause damage to the system.
Electronic key batter y
Replace the battery with a new
one if it is depleted.
As the key may be damaged if
the following procedure is not
performed properly, it is rec-
ommended that key battery
replacement be performed by
any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.

When trouble arises
7-2.Steps to take in an emergency
If your vehicle needs to
be towed
If towing is necessary, we rec-
ommend having your vehicle
towed by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer or commercial
towing service, using a
wheel-lift type truck or flatbed
truck.
Use a safety chain system for
all towing, and abide by all
state/provincial and local laws.
If towing your vehicle with a
wheel-lift type truck from the
front, the vehicle's rear wheels
and axles must be in good con-
ditions. ( P.330)
If they are damaged, use a tow-
ing dolly or flatbed truck.
WA R N I N G
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■When towing the vehicle
Be sure to transport the vehicle with
all four wheels raised off the ground. If
the vehicle is towed with the tires con- tacting the ground, the drivetrain and
related parts may be damaged or an
accident may occur due to a change in direction of the vehicle.
■While towing
●When towing using cables or
chains, avoid sudden starts, etc. which place excessive stress on the
towing eyelets, cables or chains.
The towing eyelets, cables or chains may become damaged, bro-
ken debris may hit people, and
cause serious damage.
●Do not turn the engine switch off.
There is a possibility that the steer- ing wheel is locked and cannot be
operated.
■Installing towing eyelets to the
vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing eye-
lets may come loose during towing.
3307-2. Steps to take in an emergency
The following may indicate a prob-
lem with your transmission. Contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer or commercial tow-
ing service before towing.
The engine is running but the
vehicle does not move.
The vehicle makes an abnormal
sound.
From the front
Use a towing dolly under the rear
wheels.
WA R N I N G
■After towing
Make sure to remove the towing eye-
let. If not removed, the SRS airbags may
not deploy correctly if the vehicle is
involved in a frontal collision, or the fuel pump shutoff system may not
operate correctly if involved in a rear
collision.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift
type truck
●Do not tow the vehicle from the rear when the engine switch is off. The
steering lock mechanism is not
strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for tow-
ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear-
ance, the vehicle could be dam- aged while being towed.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing with a sling-type
truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either from the front or rear.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle during emergency towing
Do not secure cables or chains to the
suspension components.
■When towing down a long slope
Use a wheel lift-type or flat bed truck. If a wheel lift-type or flat bed truck is
not used, the brakes may overheat,
leading to poor brake performance.

at the next oil change.
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change
Preferred
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the
characteristic of the oil which
allows cold startab ility. 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-
ity (one with a higher value) may
be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or
under extreme load conditions.
How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks
are added to some oil containers to
help you select the oil you should
use.
API Service Symbol
Top portion: “API SERVICE SN” means
the oil quality designation by American
Petroleum Institute (API).
Center portion: “SAE 0W-20” means
the SAE viscosity grade.
Lower portion: “Resource-Conserving”
means that the oil has fuel-saving and
environmental protection capabilities.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The International Lubricant Specifica-
tion Advisory Commi ttee (ILSAC) Certi-
fication Mark is displayed on the front of
the container.
