76GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS
While driving on steep inclines or rough
roads which causes the vehicle to sub-
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.
a. On some models: The fuel tank is
completely empty. (See “Fuel gauge”
on page 68 in this Section for instruc-
tions.)
b. There is a problem somewhere in the
engine electricalsystem, electronic en-
gine control system orengine emission
control system.
If it comes on while you are driving in
case b, have your vehicle checked/re-
paired by any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional, as soon as pos-
sible.If engine speed does not increase when
the accelerator pedal is depressed, there
may be a problem somewhere in the elec-
tronic engine controlsystem. Stop the ve-
hicle and contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional, or take
your vehicle carefully, since the vehicle
performance will be lower than normal, to
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped
professional, as soon as possible.
Even if the abnormality in the electronic
engine controlsystem is corrected during
low speed driving, thesystem may not
recover until the engine is stopped and
the engine switch is turned to the “ACC”
or “LOCK” position.
The lamp flashes when the engine emis-
sion control system is not functioning cor-
rectly. If the engine is run for more than
50 hours with the lamp flashing, the sys-
tem will automatically reduce engine per-
formance until the malfunction is cor-
rected.
(f) Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This light comes on when the fuel level
in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up
the tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.

“START”—Starter motor on. The key
will return to the “ON” position when
released.
For starting tips, see page 131 in Section
3.
“ON”—Engine on and all accessories
on. Before starting, glow plugs on and
engine preheated.
This is the normal driving position.
“ACC”—Accessories such as the radio
operate, but the engine is off.
“LOCK”—Engine is off and the steering
wheel is locked. The key can be re-
moved only at this position.
You must push in the key to turn the key
from “ACC” to the “LOCK” position.
When starting the engine, the key may
seem stuck at the “LOCK” position. To
free it, first be sure the key is pushed all
the way in, and then rock the steering
wheel slightly while turning the key gently.
It is not a malfunction if the needles on
all meters and gauges move slightly when
the engine switch is turned to the “ACC”,
“ON” or “START” position.
CAUTION
Never remove the key when the ve-
hicle is moving, as this will lock the
steering wheel and result in loss of
steering control.
NOTICE

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.

84AUDIO SYSTEM
L·M·Uradio
This section describes some of the basic
features on Toyota audiosystems.
Your audiosystem works when theengine
switch is in the “ACC” or “ON” position.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
Push “PWR·VOL” to turn the audiosystem
on and off.
Push “BAND” to turn on that function with-
out pushing “PWR·VOL”.
TONE AND BALANCE
For details about yoursystem’s tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of
the treble and bass levels. In fact, differ-
ent kinds of music and vocal programs
usually sound better with different mixes
of treble and bass.
Balance
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to
a stereo recording or broadcast, changing
the right/left balance will increase the vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another.
YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
To lower a manual antenna, carefully push
it down.
