1384-1. Before driving
WARNING
●If the brake booster device does
not operate, do not follow other
vehicles closely and avoid hills
or sharp turns that require brak-
ing.
In this case, braking is still pos-
sible, but the brake pedal
should be depressed more
firmly than usual. Also, the brak-
ing distance will increase. Have
your brakes fixed immediately.
●Do not pump the brake pedal if
the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal
uses up the reserve for the
power-assisted brakes.
●The brake system consists of 2
individual hydraulic systems; if
one of the systems fails, the
other will still operate. In this
case, the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than
usual and the braking distance
will increase. Have your brakes
fixed immediately.
■If the vehicle becomes stuck
Do not spin the wheels exces-
sively when any of the tires is up
in the air, or the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud, etc. This may damage
the driveline components or pro-
pel the vehicle forward or back-
ward, causing an accident.
NOTICE
■Pre-driving check
Trapping small animals in the
cooling fan and belts of the engine
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
time while driving, as this may
restrain the engine output.
●Do not use the accelerator
pedal or depress the accelera-
tor and brake pedals at the
same time to hold the vehicle on
a hill.
■When driving the vehicle
(vehicles with a manual trans-
mission)
●Do not depress the accelerator
and brake pedals at the same
time during driving, as this may
restrain the engine output.
●Do not shift gea rs unless the
clutch pedal is fully depressed.
After shifting, do not release the
clutch pedal abruptly. Doing so
may damage the clutch, trans-
mission and gears.
●Observe the fo llowing precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause
excessive premature wear or
damage to the clutch, eventu-
ally making it difficult to acceler-
ate and start off from a stop.
Have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal or depress it any
time other than when shifting.
Doing so may cause clutch trou-
ble.
• Do not use any gear other than the 1st gear when starting off
and moving forward.
Doing so may damage the
clutch.

WARNING
■Things that must not be car-
ried in the trunk
The following things may cause a
fire if loaded in the trunk:
●Receptacles co ntaining gaso-
line
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in
death or serious injury.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the
trunk whenever possible.
●To prevent cargo and luggage
from sliding forward during
braking, do not stack anything in
the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo
and luggage low, as close to the
floor as possible.
●When you fold down the rear
seats, long items should not be
placed directly behind the front
seats.
●Never allow anyone to ride in
the enlarged trunk. It is not
designed for passengers. They
should ride in their seats with
their seat belts properly fas-
tened. Otherwise, they are
much more likely to suffer death
or serious bodily injury, in the
event of sudden braking, sud-
den swerving or an accident.
●Do not place cargo or luggage
in or on the follo wing locations
as the item may get under the
clutch (manual transmission),
brake or accelerator pedal and
prevent the pedals from being
depressed properly, block the
driver’s vision, or hit the driver
or passengers, causing an acci-
dent:
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• On the package tray
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
●Secure all items in the occupant
compartment, as they may shift
and injure someone during sud-
den braking, sudden swerving
or an accident.
■Capacity and distribution
●Do not exceed the maximum
axle weight rating or the total
vehicle weight rating.
●Even if the total load of occu-
pant’s weight and the cargo
load is less than the total load
capacity, do not apply the load
unevenly. Improper loading may
cause deterioration of steering
or braking control which may
cause death or serious injury.

Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty
surfaces with a cloth damp-
ened with lukewarm water.
If dirt cannot be removed,
wipe it off with a soft cloth
dampened with neutral deter-
gent diluted to approximately
1%.
Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces o f detergent and
water.
■Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foam-
ing-type cleaners available. Use a
sponge or brush to apply the foam.
Rub in overlapping circles. Do not
use water. Wipe dirty surfaces and
let them dry. Excellent results are
obtained by keeping the carpet 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
excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
■Meter visor
Do not place anything on top of
meter visor. The color of the meter
visor may transfer.
Cleaning and protect-
ing the vehicle interior
Perform cleaning in a man-
ner appropriate to each
component and its material.

interior
WARNING
■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in
the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical
components, etc. to malfunction
or catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS com-
ponents or wiring in the vehicle
interior wet. ( P. 2 9 )
An electrical malfunction may
cause the airbags to deploy or not
function properly, resulting in
death or serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (espe-
cially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel
may reflect off the windshield,
obstructing the driver’s view and
leading to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the following types
of detergent, as they may dis-
color the vehicle interior or
cause streaks or damage to
painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic sub- stances such as benzene or
gasoline, alkaline or acidic solu-
tions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solu- tions, such as th inner, benzene,
and alcohol
●Do not use polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel’s
or other interior part’s painted
