68GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS
The gauge indicates the approximate
quantity of fuel remaining in the tank
when the engine switch is on.
Nearly full—Needle at “F”
Nearly empty—Needle at “E”
It is a good idea to keep the tank over
1/4 full.
The needle moves when braking, acceler-
ating or making turns. This is caused by
the movement of the fuel in the tank.
If the fuel level approaches “E” or the low
fuel level warning light comes on, fill the
fuel tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the fuel gauge
needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.
On some models—
If the fuel tank is completely empty, the
malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill
the fuel tank immediately.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving
several times. If the indicator lamp does
not go off, contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional, as soon
as possible.The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature when the engine switch is
on. The engine operating temperature
will vary with changes in weather and
engine load.
If the needle moves into the red zone,
your engine is too hot. If your vehicle
overheats, stop your vehicle and allow the
engine to cool.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe
operating conditions, such as:
DDriving up a long hill on a hot day.
DReducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
DIdling for a long period with the air
conditioning on in stop−and−go traffic.
DTowingatrailer.
NOTICE
zDo not remove the thermostat in
the engine cooling system as this
may cause the engine to overheat.
The thermostat is designed to con-
trol the flow of coolant to keep the
temperature of the engine within
the specified operating range.
zDo not continue driving with an
overheated engine. See “If your ve-
hicle overheats” on page 156 in
Section 4.

stantially sway or on curves, this light
may come on due to the movement of
engine oil in the engine.
In normal conditions, due to engine oil
consumption, this light may come on earli-
er than the specified service interval of
the scheduled maintenance. This is be-
cause the engine oil is consumed to the
low level within the scheduled mainte-
nance interval and does not indicate a
problem. (For detailed information, see
“Facts about engine oil consumption” on
page 123 in Section 2.)
NOTICE
Continued engine operation with low
engine oil will damage the engine.
(e) Malfunction Indicator Lamp
This lamp comes on in the following
cases.

ENGINE (IGNITION) SWITCH, TRANSMISSION AND PARKING BRAKE81
The shift pattern is conventional as
shown above.
On some models, the buzzer will sound
when you shift the gear into “R” (reverse).
Press the clutch pedal down fully while
shifting, and then release it slowly. Do not
rest your foot on the pedal while driving,
because it will cause clutch trouble. Do
not use the clutch to hold the vehicle
when stopped on an uphill grade—use the
parking brake.
Upshifting too soon or downshifting too
late will cause lugging, and possibly ping-
ing. Regularly revving the engine to maxi-
mum speed in each gear will cause ex-
cessive engine wear and high fuel
consumption.
Maximum allowable speeds
To get on a highway or to pass slower
traffic, maximum acceleration may be nec-
essary. Make sure you observe the follow-
ing maximum allowable speeds in each
gear:
Dyna 100


gear km/h (mph)
1 28 (17)
2 53 (33)
3 90 (56)
4 127 (79)Dyna 150


gear km/h (mph)
1 28 (17)
2 52 (32)
3 84 (52)
4 121 (75)
NOTICE
Do not downshift if you are going
faster than the maximum allowable
speed for the next lower gear.

: See “Model code” on page vi in the
beginning of this manual if you are not
sure of your vehicle model.
Good driving practice
DIf it is difficult to shift into reverse, put
the transmission in neutral, release the
clutch pedal momentarily, and then try
again.
DWhen towing a trailer, in order to main-
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use fifth gear.
CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting on a
slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to skid or
spin.
NOTICE
zDo not use any gears other than
first gear when starting off and
moving forward. Doing so may dam-
age the clutch.
zMake sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into reverse.
