 On-pavement and off-road
driving tips

n
io
This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class. Utility

ct
vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other

du
types of vehicles. This vehicle will handle and maneuver
differently from an ordinary passenger car because it is

ro
designed for off-road use also. In addition, this vehicle
has a higher ground clearance and center of gravity than

ep
that of an ordinary passenger car. This vehicle design
feature causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to

rR
rbllover. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result
in loss of control, accidents or vehicle rollover causing
Fo
death or serious injury. Be sure to read "Off-road vehicle
precautions" in Section 2 and "Off-road driving
ot
precautions" in Section 3.

Seat belts-
-Seat belt precautions
Toyota strongly urges that the driver and
passengers in the vehicle be properly re-
strained at all times with the seat belts
provided. Failure to do so could increase
the chance of injury and/or the severity of
injury in accidents.
Child. Use a child restraint system ap-
n
propriate for the child until the child be-
io
comes large enough to properly wear the
t
vehicle's seat belts.
uc
If a child is too large for a child restraint
system, the child should sit in the seat
d
and must be restrained using the vehicle's
ro
seat belt.
ep
• Models with rear seat belts-Put the
child in the rear seat and use the seat
rR
belt. According to accident statistics,
the child is safer when properly re-
Fo
strained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
• Models without rear seat belts-We

recommended installing the rear seat
N
belts on your vehicle. Ask your Toyota
dealer in rear seat belts can be
installed on your vehicle. On models
without a rear seat, also ask if a rear
seat with seat belts can be installed.
If installation is possible, put the child
in the rear seat and use the seat belts.
According to accident statistics, the
child is safer when properly restrained
in the rear seat than in the front seat.
If installation is not possible, let the
child sit in the front seat and use the
seat belt.
If a child must sit in the front seat, the
seat belts should be worn properly.
Do not allow the child to stand up or
kneel on either rear or front seats. An
unrestrained child could suffer serious in-
jury or death during emergency braking or
a collision. Also, do not let the child sit
on your lap. It does not provide sufficient
restraint.
Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends the
use of a seat belt. Ask your doctor for
specific recommendations. The lap belt
should be worn securely and as low as
possible over the hips and not on the
waist.
Injured person. Toyota recommends the
use of a seat belt. Depending on the inju-
ry, first check with your doctor for specific
recommendations.
If seat belt regulations exist in the country
where you reside, please contact your
Toyota dealer for seat belt replacement or
installation.
& CAUTION
When using the seat belts, observe
the following:
• Use the belt for only one person at
a time. Do not use a single belt for
n
two or more people-even children.
io
• Avoid reclining the seatbacks too
t
much. The seat belts provide maxi-
uc
mum protection when the seatbacks
are in the upright position. (Refer
d
to the seat adjustment instructions.)
ro
• Be careful not to damage the belt
ep
webbing or hardware. Take care that
they do not get caught or pinched
rR
in the seat or doors.
• Inspect the belt system periodically.
Fo
Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Damaged parts should be re-
placed. Do not disassemble or
ot
modify the system.
N
• Keep the belts clean and dry. If
they need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Never
use bleach, dye, or abrasive clean-
ers-they may severely weaken the
belts. (See "Cleaning the interior"
in Section 5.)
• Replace the belt assembly (includ-
ing bolts) if it has been used in a
severe impact. The entire assembly
should be replaced even if damage
is not obvious.
• Australian owners: Observe the fol-
lowing additional WARNINGS.
WARNING: Seat belts are designed
to bear upon the bony structure of
the body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as ap-
plicable; wearing the lap section of
the belt across the abdominal area
must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid con-
tamination of the webbing with po-
lishes, oils and chemicals, and par-
ticularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild
soap and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.
25

It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in
a severe impact even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious.
Belts should not be worn with
straps twisted.
Each belt assembly must only be
used by one occupant; it is danger-
ous to put a belt around a child
being carried on the occupant's lap.
WARNING: No modifications or
additions should be made by the
user which will either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices from op-
erating to remove slack, or prevent
the seat belt assembly from being
adjusted to remove slack.

CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
AND TAPES
For the best performance for your cas-
sette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regu-
larly.
• Avoid using cassettes with a total play-
ing time longer than 100 minutes (50
minutes per side). The tape used in
these cassettes is thin and could get
stuck or tangled in the cassette player.

n
• A dirty tape head or tape path can

io
decrease sound quality and tangle your
cassette tapes. The easiest way to

t
uc
clean them is by using a cleaning tape.
(A wet type is recommended.)

d
Use high-quality cassettes.

ro
• Low-quality cassette tapes can cause

ep
many problems, including poor sound,
inconsistent playing speed, and

rR
constant auto-reversing. They can also
get stuck or tangled in the cassette
player.
• Do not use a cassette if it has been
Fo
damaged or tangled or if its label is
ot

peeling off.
N

• Do not leave a cassette in the player

if you are not listening to it, especially
if it is hot outside.
• Store cassettes in their cases and out
of direct sunlight.

Facts about engine oil
consumption
FUNCTIONS OF ENGINE OIL
Engine oil has the primary functions of
lubricating and cooling the inside of the
engine, and plays a major role in main-
taining the engine in proper working order.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
It is normal that an engine should con-
sume some engine oil during normal
engine operation. The causes of oil
consumption in a normal engine are as
follows.
• Oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston
rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil
is left on the cylinder wall when a pis-
ton moves downwards in the cylinder.
High negative pressure generated when
the vehicle is decelerating sucks some
of this oil into the combustion chamber.
This oil as well as some part of the oil
film left on the cylinder wall is burned
by the high temperature combustion
gases during the combustion process.
95
• Oil is also used to lubricate the stems
of the intake valves. Some of this oil
is sucked into the combustion chamber
together with the intake air and is
burned along with the fuel. High tem-
perature exhaust gases also burn the
oil used to lubricate the exhaust valve
stems.
The amount of engine oil consumed de-
pends on the viscosity of the oil, the
quality of the oil and the conditions the
vehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed by high-speed driv-
ing and frequent acceleration and decel-
eration.
A new engine consumes more oil, since
its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls
have not become conditioned.
96
When judging the amount of oil con-

t
is because the oil is gradually becoming
uc
diluted with fuel or moisture, making it
appear that the oil level has not changed.
d
ro
The diluting ingredients evaporate out
when the vehicle is then driven at high
ep
speeds, as on an expressway, making it
appear that oil is excessively consumed

after driving at high speeds.

One of the most important points in prop-

function will not be impaired. Therefore, it
is essential that the oil level be checked
regularly. Toyota recommends that the oil
level be checked every time you refuel
the vehicle.

• Toyota recommends not using four-
wheel drive on dry hard-surfaced
roads, because four-wheel driving will
cause unnecessary noise and wear,
and poor fuel economy.
• In cold temperatures, noise may occur
when driving in two-wheel drive before
the transfer is warmed up. Therefore,
first drive in four-wheel drive until the
transfer is warmed up.
& CAUTION
• Before driving off, make sure the
parking brake is fully released and
the parking brake reminder light is
off.
• Do not leave your vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is running.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving. It can cause
dangerous overheating, needless
wear, and poor fuel economy.
• To drive down a long or steep hill,
reduce your speed and downshift.
Remember, if you ride the brakes
excessively, they may overheat and
not work properly.
108
• Be careful when accelerating, up-
shifting, downshifting or braking on
a slippery surface. Sudden accelera-
tion or engine braking could cause
the vehicle to spin or skid.
• Do not continue normal driving

Off-road driving precautions
& CAUTION
Always observe the following precau-
tions to minimize the risk of serious
personal injury or damage to your ve-
hicle:
• Drive carefully when off the road.
Do not take unnecessary risks by
driving in dangerous places.
• Do not grip the steering wheel
spokes when driving off-road. A
bad bump could jerk the wheel and
injure your hands. Keep both hands
and especially your thumbs on the
outside of the rim.
• Always check your brakes for effec-
tiveness immediately after driving in
sand, mud, water or snow.
• After driving through tall grass,
mud, rock, sand, rivers, etc., check
that there is no grass, bush, paper,
rags, stone, sand, etc. adhering or
trapped on the underbody. Clear off
any such matter from the under-
body. If the vehicle is used with
these materials trapped or adhered
to the underbody, a breakdown or
fire could occur.

• In a roll over crash, an unbelted per-
son is significantly more likely to
die than a person wearing a seat
belt. Therefore, the driver and all
passengers should fasten their seat
belts whenever the vehicle is mov-
ing.
• When driving off-road or in rugged
terrain, do not drive at excessive
speeds, jump, make sharp turns,
strike objects, etc. This may cause
loss of control or vehicle rollover
causing death or serious injury. You
are also risking expensive damage
to your vehicle's suspension and
chassis.
NOTICE
+If driving through water, such as
when crossing shallow streams,
first check the depth of the water
and bottom of the river bed for
firmness. Drive slowly and avoid
deep water.

Keep the door locks from freezing.
Squirt lock de-icer or glycerine into the
locks to keep them from freezing. To open
a frozen lock, try heating the key before
inserting it.
Use a washer fluid containing an anti-

Trailer towing
Your vehicle is designed primarily as a
passenger-and-Ioad-carryingvehicle. Tow-
ing a trailer will have an adverse effect on
handling, performance, braking, durability
and driving economy (fuel consumption,
etc.). Your safety and satisfaction depend
on the proper use of correct equipment
and cautious driving habits. For your safe-
ty and the safety of others, you must not
overload your vehicle or trailer. Ask your
local Toyota dealer for further details be-
fore towing, as there are additional legal
requirements in some countries.
We recommend you to use a weight dis-
tributing hitch when towing something
such as a caravan trailer.
NOTICE
When towing a trailer, be sure to con-
sult your Toyota dealer for further in-
formation on additional requirements
such as a towing kit, etc.
WEIGHT LIMITS
Before towing, make sure the total trail-
er weight, gross vehicle weight, gross
axle weight and trailer tongue load are
all within the limits.
The total trailer weight and tongue load
can be measured with platform scales
found at a public weighbridge, building
supply company, trucking company, junk
yard, etc.
Lt CAUTION
• The total trailer weight (trailer
weight plus its cargo load) must
not exceed 3500 kg (7716 lb.). Ex-
ceeding this weight is dangerous.
n
• Trailer hitch assemblies have differ-
io
ent weight capacities established by
t
the hitch manufacturer. Even though
uc
the vehicle may be physically capa-
ble of tOWing a higher weight, the
d
operator must determine the maxi-
ro
mum weight rating of the particular
hitch assembly and never exceed
ep
the maximum weight rating speci-
fied for the trailer-hitch. Exceeding
rR
the maximum weight rating set by
the trailer hitch manufacturer can

• The gross vehicle weight must not
exceed the following. The gross ve-
hicle weight is the sum of weights
of the unloaded vehicle, driver, pas-
sengers, luggage, hitch and trailer
tongue load. It also includes the
weight of any special equipment
installed on your vehicle.

• Backing with a trailer is difficult and
requires practice. Grip the bottom of
the steering wheel and move your hand
to the left to move the trailer to the
left. Move your hand to the right to
move the trailer to the right. (This pro-
cedure is generally opposite to that
when backing without a trailer.) Also,
just turn the steering wheel a little at
a time, avoiding sharp or prolonged
turning. Have someone guide you when
backing to reduce the risk of an acci-
dent.
• Because stopping distance may be in-
creased, vehicle-to-vehicle distance
should be increased when towing a
trailer. For each 10 km/h (6 mph) of
speed, allow at least one vehicle and
trailer length between you and the ve-
hicle ahead. Avoid sudden braking as
you may skid, resulting in jackknifing
and loss of control. This is especially
true on wet or slippery surfaces.
• Avoid jerky starts or sudden accelera-
tion. Prevent excessive clutch slippage
by keeping engine rpm low and not
racing the engine. Always start out in
first gear.
114
• Avoid jerky steering and sharp turns.
The trailer could hit your vehicle in a
tight turn. Slow down before making a
turn to avoid the necessity of sudden
braking.
• Remember that when making a turn,
the trailer wheels will be closer than
n
the vehicle wheels to the inside of the
io
turn. Therefore, compensate for this by
ct
making a larger than normal turning
radius with your vehicle.

• Crosswinds and rough roads will ad-

necessary to reduce speed, brake
slowly. Steer straight ahead. If you
N
make no extreme correction with the
steering or brakes, the vehicle and
trailer will stabilize.
• Be careful when passing other ve-
hicles. Passing requires considerable
distance. After passing a vehicle, do
not forget the length of your trailer and
be sure you have plenty of room be-
fore changing lanes.
• In order to maintain engine braking effi-
ciency, do not use fifth gear.
• Because of the added load of the trail-
er, your vehicle's engine may overheat
on hot days (at temperatures over
30°C [85°F]) when going up a long or
steep grade with a trailer. If the engine

overheating, immediately turn off the air
conditioning (if in use), pull off the road
and stop in a safe spot. Refer to "If
your vehicle overheats" in Section 4.
• Always place wheel blocks under both

parking. Apply the parking brake firmly.

Avoid parking on a slope with a trailer,
but if it cannot be avoided, do so only
after performing the following:

115
• Avoid continuous speeding up and
slowing down. Stop-and-go driving
wastes fuel.
• Avoid unnecessary stopping and
braking. Maintain a steady pace. Try
to time the traffic signals so you only
need to stop as little as possible or
take advantage of through streets to
avoid traffic lights. Keep a proper dis-
tance from other vehicles to avoid sud-
den braking. This will also reduce wear
on your brakes.
• Avoid heavy traffic or traffic jams
whenever possible.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch
or brake pedal. This causes premature
wear, overheating and poor fuel e.cono-
my.
• Maintain a moderate speed on high-
ways. The faster you drive, the greater
the fuel consumption. By reducing your
speed, you will cut down on fuel con-
sumption.
• Keep the front wheels in proper
alignment. Avoid hitting the curb and
slow down on rough roads. Improper
alignment not only causes faster tire
wear but also puts an extra load on
the engine, which, in turn, wastes fuel.

seconds. Then try starting the engine with-
out releasing the accelerator pedal. Do not
pump the pedal-just keep it held to the
floor.
If the engine does not start after 15 se-
conds of cranking, release the key, wait
a few minutes and try again.
If the engine does not start with the pro-
cedure described above, try the following.
1. Remove the spark plugs and dry the
wet electrodes of the plugs in heat with
a drier.
2. Turn the key to "START" with the ac-
celerator pedal held down for 15 se-

Before putting on wheels, remove any cor-
rosion on the mounting surfaces with a
wire brush or such. Installation of wheels
without good metal-to-metal contact at the
mounting surface can cause wheel nuts to
loosen and eventually cause a wheel to
come off while driving. Therefore after the
first 1600 km (1000 miles), check to see
that the wheel nuts are tight.

Protecting your Toyota from
corrosion
Toyota, through its diligent research, de-
sign and use of the most advanced
technology available, has done its part to
help prevent corrosion and has provided
you with the finest quality vehicle
construction. Now, it is up to you. Proper
care of your Toyota can help ensure long-
term corrosion prevention.
The most common causes of corrosion
to your vehicle are:
• The accumulation of road salt, dirt and
moisture in hard-to-reach areas under
the vehicle.
• Chipping of paint, or undercoating
caused by minor accidents or by
stones and gravel.
Care is especially important if you live
in particular areas or operate your ve·
hicle under certain environmental condi·
tions:
• Road salt or dust control chemicals will
accelerate corrosion, as will the pres-
ence of salt in the air near the sea-
coast or in areas of industrial pollution.
• High humidity accelerates corrosion es-
pecially when temperatures range just
above the freezing point.
140
• Wetness or dampness to certain parts • High pressure water or steam is effec-

• If you drive on salted roads in the
winter or if you live near the ocean,
you should hose off the undercarriage
at least once a month to minimize cor-
rosion.

Check the interior of your vehicle. Wa-
ter and dirt can accumulate under the
floor mats and could cause corrosion. Oc-
casionally check under the mats to make
sure the area is dry. Be particularly care-
ful when transporting chemicals, cleans-
ers, fertilizers, salt, etc.; these should be
transported in proper containers. If a spill
or leak should occur, immediately clean
and dry the area.
Use mud shields on your wheels. If you
drive on salted or gravel roads, mud
shields help protect your vehicle. Full-size
shields, which come as near to the ground
as possible, are the best. We recommend
that the fittings and the area where the
shields are installed be treated to resist
corrosion. Your Toyota dealer will be
happy to assist in supplying and installing
the shields if they are recommended for
your area.
Keep your vehicle in a well ventilated
garage or a roofed place. Do not park
your vehicle in a damp, poorly venti-
lated garage. If you wash your vehicle in
the garage, or if you drive it in covered
with water or snow, your garage may be
so damp it will cause corrosion. Even if
your garage is heated, a wet vehicle can
corrode if the ventilation is poor.

Automatic car wash
Your vehicle may be washed in an auto-
matic car wash, but remember that the
paint can be scratched by some type of
brushes, unfiltered washing water, or the
washing process itself. Scratching reduces
paint durability and gloss, especially on
darker colors. The manager of the car
wash should be able to advise you wheth-
er the process is safe for the paint on
your vehicle.

ways use automotive jack stands or
other solid supports.

153
• Take care when filling the brake and
clutch fluid reservoirs because
brake fluid can harm your eyes and
damage painted surfaces. If fluid
gets in your eyes, flush your eyes
with clean water immediately. If you
still feel uncomfortable with your
eyes, go to the doctor.
NOTICE
• Remember that battery and ignition
cables carry high currents or volt-
ages. Be careful of accidentally
causing a short circuit.
• Add only demineralized or distilled
water to fill the radiator. And if you
spill some of the coolant, be sure
to wash it off with water to prevent
it from damaging the parts or paint.
• Do not allow dirt or anything else
to fall through the spark plug holes.
• Do not pry the outer electrode of a
spark plug against the center elec-
trode.
154
• Use only spark plugs of the speci-
fied type. Using other types will
cause engine damage, loss of per-

Checking the engine coolant
level
Look at the see-through coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold. The cool-
ant level is satisfactory if it is between
the "FULL" and "LOW" lines on the
reservoir. If the level is low, add ethyl-
ene-glycol type coolant for a proper
corrosion protection of aluminum com-
ponents.
The coolant level in the reservoir will vary
with engine temperature. However, if the
level is on or below the "LOW" line, add
coolant. Bring the level up to the "FULL"
line.
Always use ethylene-glycol type coolant
for a proper corrosion protection of alumi-
num components. See information in the
next column.
If the coolant level drops within a short
time after replenishing, there may be a
leak in the system. Visually check the
radiator, hoses, radiator cap and drain
cock and water pump.
If you can find no leak, have your Toyota
dealer test the cap pressure and check
for leaks in the cooling system.

If any of the above parts are extremely
dirty or you are not sure of their condi-
tion, take your vehicle to Toyota dealer.

The following instructions for checking
tire pressure should be observed:
• The pressure should be checked only
when the tires are cold. If your ve-
hicle has been parked for at least 3
hours and has not been driven for
more than 1.5 km or 1 mile since, you
will get an accurate cold tire pressure
reading.
• Always use a tire pressure gauge.
The appearance of a tire can be mis-
leading. Besides, tire pressures that
are even just a few pounds off can
degrade ride and handling.
• Do not bleed or reduce tire pressure
after driving. It is normal for the tire
pressure to be higher after driving.
• Be sure to reinstall the tire inflation
valve caps. Without the valve caps,
dirt or moisture could get into the valve
core and cause air leakage. If the caps
have been lost, have new ones put on
as soon as possible.
160
Checking and replacing tires
Check the tires regularly for damage
such as cuts, splits and cracks. If any
Tread wear indicator damage is found, consult with a techni-
cian and have the tire repaired or re-

& CAUTION
• Do not mix radial, bias belted, or
bias-ply tires on your vehicle. It
can cause dangerous handling char-
acteristics, resulting in loss of con-
trol.
• Do not use tires or wheels other
than the manufacturer's recom-
mended size.
Never use second-hand tires on your
Toyota.
Using tires whose previous history is un-
known is a risk.
Toyota recommends all four tires, or at
least both front or rear tires be re-
placed as a set.
See "If you have a flat tire" in Section 4
for tire change procedure.
When a tire is replaced, the wheel

should always be balanced.
An unbalanced wheel may affect vehicle
handling and tire life. Wheels can get out

valve should also be replaced with a
new one.

161
Installing snow tires and
chains
WHEN TO USE SNOW TIRES OR
CHAINS
Snow tires or chains are recommended
when driving on snow or ice.
On wet or dry roads, conventional tires
provide better traction than snow tires.
SNOW TIRE SELECTION
If you need snow tires, select the same
size, construction and load capacity as
the original tires on your Toyota.
Do not use tires other than those men-
tioned above. Do not install studded tires
without first checking local regulations for
possible restrictions.
SNOW TIRE INSTALLATION
Snow tires should be installed on all
wheels.
Installing snow tires on the rear wheels
only can lead to an excessive difference
in road grip capability between the front
and rear tires which could cause loss of
vehicle control.
When storing tires, you should store them
in a cool dry place. Mark the direction of
rotation and be sure to install them in the
same direction when replacing.
