Brake and fuel lines run under the
floor of the vehicle. If any of these
lines are damaged, the brakes may
fail or leaking fuel may ignite and cause a fire.
WA R N I N G
If the engine stalls while driving, sev-
eral warning lights will illuminate. Depending on vehicle specifications,
the power-assisted brakes and power
steering may stop operating. In this case the braking power will be
reduced and operation of the steering
wheel will become heavy. Although the operation of the brakes and steer-
ing will not be totally lost, they will
require stronger than normal input to
operate. Stop the vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible.
WA R N I N G
While driving, if a tire has been punc-
tured or has ruptured, firmly grip the
steering wheel, gradually reduce the vehicle speed and stop the vehicle in
a safe place. Avoid sudden braking
and steering operations as doing so may cause you to lo se control of the
vehicle. Gradually reduce the vehicle
speed and stop the vehicle in a safe
place.
●Vehicles equipped with run-flat tires
As the sidewalls of run-flat tires are
especially stiff, it may be difficult to
feel when a tire is punctured or if the tire pressure has decreased sud-
denly. It may also be difficult to vis-
ually tell that a tire is flat or the inflation pressure is low.
If the tire pressure warning indicator illuminates, while avoiding sudden
braking or steering operations,
decelerate to 80 km /h or less, care- fully stop the vehicle in a safe place
and check the condition of each tire.
For details on how to check the condi- tion of the tires, see page 292. If any
tire is damaged, contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota author- ized repairer, or any reliable repairer
for assistance.
The tire pressure warning indicator
may not illuminate if the inflation pres-
sure of a tire drops rapidly, such as when a tire has burst.

If you have been involved in a colli-
sion, perform the following:
1 Immediately leave the vehicle
and move to a safe place in
order to avoid secondary colli-
sions. Make sure to turn the
engine switch off to help prevent
the vehicle from catching fire. If
the airbags have deployed
(inflated), the airbag related
parts will be extremely hot.
Avoid touching the parts with
your hands or any part of your
body.
2 If someone has been injured,
contact emergency services and
request assistance. If someone
has no obvious external injuries,
but they may have a head injury,
keep their airway open while
moving them as little as possi-
ble. If there is danger of the
vehicle being involved in a sec-
ondary collision, move the
injured person to a safe place
while keeping them as horizon-
tal as possible.

console.

4 Connect a terminal clamp on the
negative/– jump lead to the neg-

5 Connect the second terminal
clamp to the negative terminal of

1 Start the engine of the donor
vehicle and allow it to run for a

increased idle speed.
2 Start the engine of the vehicle to
be started as normal.
If an initial attempt to start the engine
fails, wait several minutes until the dis-
charged battery has been recharged somewhat.
3 Allow both engines to run for a
few minutes.

Remove dust from the leather at
regular intervals with a cloth or vac-

Dust and road dirt will otherwise
become worked into pores and

In order to protect against discol-

Clean light-coloured leather more
frequently as it has the tendency to

NOTICE
■To prevent paint deterioration
and corrosion on the body and
components (aluminum wheels etc.)
Observe the following precautions:
●Wash the vehicle immediately in the
following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar or tree sap is present on the paint surface
• If dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings are present on the
paint surface
• After driving in an area contami-
nated with soot, oily smoke, mine
dust, iron powder or chemical sub- stances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gas- oline are spilled on the paint sur-
face
●If the paint is chipped or scratched,
have it repaired immediately.
●To prevent the wheels from corrod-
ing, remove any dirt and store in a
place with low humidity when stor- ing the wheels.
For the matte paintwork, pay attention to the following as well:
●If anything is spilled on a painted surface, wipe it off as soon as pos-
sible. If spilled washer fluid or alka-
line fluids are left as is, the paint in the affected area may deteriorate,
causing blemishing.
●Do not wax or apply coating to the
vehicle. Doing so may cause a
change in the body surface's tex- ture or irregularities in the paint.

leather from being altered or dis-

Regularly clean the upholstery with
a vacuum cleaner.
In the event of heavy soiling, for
example stains caused by drinks,
use a soft sponge or a lint-free
microfibre cloth with suitable inte-
rior cleaning agents.
Clean the upholstery up to the
seams using wide wiping actions.
Avoid rubbing vigorously.
When cleaning the wheels while
they are installed on the vehicle,
only use neutral rim cleaner with a
pH value of between 5 and 9. Do
not use abrasive cleaners or steam
cleaners above 60 °C/140 °F.
Observe the manufacturer's
instructions.
Corrosive, acidic or alkaline
cleaners may destroy the protective
layer of adjacent parts, for example
brake discs.
After cleaning, briefly apply the
brakes to dry them. The heat gen-
erated by braking dries the brake
discs and brake pads and protects
them against corrosion.
Carefully clean parts such as the
radiator grille and door handles with
plenty of water to which a shampoo
may be added, particularly if
exposed to road salt.
The surfaces of rubber parts can be
contaminated or lose their shine
due to environmental influences.
Only use water and suitable care
products for cleaning.
Rubber parts subjected to high
wear and tear should be treated
regularly with rubber care products.
Do not use silicone-based care
products for treating rubber seals,
otherwise these could be damaged
and become a source of noise.
