NOTICE
• Do not use the clutch pedal to adjust vehicle speed.
Doing so may damage the
clutch.
• Do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopping on an
uphill grade.
Doing so may damage the
clutch.
• When stopping the vehicle with the shift lever in a position other
than N, make sure to fully
depress the clutch pedal and
stop the vehicle using the
brakes.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R
without the vehicle completely
stopped.
Doing so may damage the
clutch, transmission and gears.
●Do not release the clutch pedal
too quickly. Doing so may dam-
age the transmission.
■When parking the vehicle
(vehicles with an automatic
transmission)
Always set the parking brake and
shift the shift lever to P. Failure to
do so may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehi cle may acceler-
ate suddenly if the accelerator
pedal is accidentally depressed.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle
parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel
fully in either direction and hold
it there for an extended period
of time. Doing so may damage
the power steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the
road, drive as slowly as possible
to avoid damagi ng the wheels,
underside of the vehicle, etc.
●Vehicles with an automatic
transmission: Do not race the
engine for more than 5 seconds
in any position except the N or P
position when the brake is
applied or when chocks are
used in the wheels. This may
cause the transmission fluid to
overheat.
■If you get a flat tire while driv-
ing
A flat or damaged tire may cause
the following situations. Hold the
steering wheel firmly and gradu-
ally depress the brake pedal to
slow down the vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your
vehicle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal
sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnor-
mally.
Information on what to do in case
of a flat tire (
P.358)
■When encountering flooded
roads or waterlogged roads
Do not drive on a road that has
flooded after h eavy rain etc.
Doing so may cause the following
serious damage to the vehicle:
●Engine stalling
●Short in electrical components
●Engine damage caused by
water immersion
●Rubber or mechanical part
damage or poor lubrication due
to grease being washed away,
or grease becoming contami-
nated with mud or dirt
In the event that you drive on a
flooded road and the vehicle is
flooded, be sure to have your Toy-
ota dealer check the following:

1404-1. Before driving
Cargo capacity depends on the
total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load
capacity) — (Total weight of
occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit —
(1) Locate the statement “The
combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your
vehicle’s placard.
(2) Determine the combined
weight of the driver and passen-
gers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and passen-
gers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX”
amount equals 1400 lbs. and
there will be five 150 lb passen-
gers in your vehicle, the amount
of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 -
