4-1. Before driving
Driving
WARNING
■If you hear a squealing or scrap- ing noise (brake pad wear indica-
tors)
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
Front brakes only: Moderate levels of brake pad and disc wear allow
enhanced front braking power. As a result, the discs may wear more quickly than conventional brake discs.
Therefore, when replacing the brake pads, Toyota recommends that you also have the thickness of the discs
measured. It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads and/or those of the brake
discs are exceeded.
■When the vehicle is stopped
●Do not race the engine. If the vehicle is in any gear other than N, the vehicle may accelerate
suddenly and unexpectedly, caus- ing an accident.
●If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent acci-dents caused by the vehicle rolling
forward or backward, always depress the brake pedal and securely apply the parking brake as
needed.
●Avoid revving or racing the engine.
Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause the exhaust system to over-
heat, which could result in a fire if combustible material is nearby.
■When the vehicle is parked
●Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink
cans in the vehicle when it is in the sun.Doing so may result in the follow-
ing:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette
lighter or spray can, and may lead to a fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and plastic material of glasses to
deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, caus-
ing the contents to spray over the interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s
electrical components.
●Do not leave cigarette lighters in the
vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a place such as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally
when luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
●Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place containers such as air fresh-
eners on the instrument panel or dashboard. Adhesive discs or con-tainers may act as lenses, causing
a fire in the vehicle.
●Do not leave a door or window
open if the curved glass is coated with a metallized film such as a sil-ver-colored one. Reflected sunlight
may cause the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.
●Always apply the parking brake, stop the engine and lock the vehi-cle.
Do not leave the vehicle unat- tended while the engine is running.

Before refueling the vehicle
WARNING
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions
while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to dis- charge any static electricity. It is important to discharge static elec-
tricity before refueling because sparks resulting from static electric-ity can cause fuel vapors to ignite
while refueling.
●Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened. Wait until the sound cannot be
heard before fully removing the cap. In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck
and cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has not
discharged static electricity from their body to come close to an open fuel tank.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.Fuel contains substances that are
harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling the
vehicle. Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is stati-
cally charged. This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible igni-
tion hazard.
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.
●Do not top off the fuel tank.

6-1. Maintenance and care
6-1.Mainte nance a nd care
Working from top to bottom, lib-
erally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside
of the vehicle to remove any dirt
and dust.
Wash the vehicle body using a
sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
For hard-to-remove marks, use
car wash soap and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
Wipe away any water.
Wax the vehicle when the water-
proof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean sur-
face, apply wax when the vehicle body
is cool.
■Automatic car washes
●Before washing the vehicle: • Fold the mirrors.
Start washing from the front of the vehi-
cle. Extend the mirrors before driving.
●Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle sur-
face, parts (wheel, etc.) and harm your vehicle’s paint.
●In certain automatic car washes, the rear spoiler may interfere with machine operation. This may prevent
the vehicle from being cleaned prop-
erly or result in damage to the rear
