−5. Brake pad wear limit indicators
The brake pad wear limit indicators on
your disc brakes give a warning noise
when the brake pads are worn to where
replacement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise
while driving, have the brake pads
checked and replaced by your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. Expensive ro-
tor damage can result if the pads are not
replaced when necessary. Luggage stowage pr
ecautions
When stowing luggage or cargo in or on
the vehicle, observe the following: Put luggage or cargo in the luggage
compartment when at all possible. Be
sure all items are secured in place.
Be careful to keep the vehicle bal-
anced. Locating the weight as far for-
ward as possible helps maintain the
balance.
For better fuel economy, do not carry
unneeded weight.CAUTION
To prevent luggage or packages
from sliding forward during braking,
do not stack anything in the lug-
gage compartment higher than the
seatbacks.
Do not place anything on the flat-
tened seat or it may slide forward
during braking.

Never allow anyone to ride in the
luggage compartment. It is not de-
signed for passengers. They should
ride in their seats with their seat
belts properly fastened. Otherwise,
they are much more likely to suffer
serious bodily injury, in the event
of sudden braking or a co llision.
Do not place anything on the lug-
gage cover. Such items may be
thrown about and possibly injure
people in the vehicle during sudden
braking or an accident. Secure all
items in a safe place.
Do not drive with objects left on
top of the instrument panel. They
may interfere with the driver’s field
of view. Or they may move during
sharp vehicle acceleration or turn-
ing, and impair the driver’s control
of the vehicle. In an accident they
may injure the vehicle occupants.NOTICE
Do not load the vehicle beyond the
vehicle capacity weight given in Sec-
tion 8.
Rear step bumper
The rear step bumper is for rear end
protection and easier step −up loading.
To get on the rear step bumper, use the
shaded area between the arrows in the
illustration.
CAUTION
Do not allow more than one person
to get on the rear step bumper at
a time. It is designed for only one
person.
Never drive the vehicle with anyone
on the rear step bumper.

shown in the illustration.
1 Jack handle end
2 Jack handle extension
3 Jack handleWhen connecting a jack handle extension
with a jack handle end, use a Phi llips−
head screwdriver or jack handle to tighten
the bolts on the joints as shown in the
illustration. When connecting the jack han-
dle with extension, tighten the wing bolt
on the joint securely. Make sure the hol-
low meets the bolt on every joint when
you tighten the bolts.
NOTICE
Tighten all the joints securely. Other-
wise, the extension may come off and
it may damage the paint or vehicle
body.
2. Remove the access hole cover on the rear bumper with a flat −bladed screw-

3. Insert the jack handle end into the low-
ering screw through the access hole
and turn it counterclockwise with push-
ing it to the front lightly.4. After the tire is lowered completely tothe ground, remove the holding bracket
as shown in the illustration.When storing the spare tire, put it in place
with the outer side of the wheel facing up
and hook the holding bracket as shown in
the illustration. Then secure the tire, tak-
ing care that the tire goes straight up
without catching on any other part, to pre-
vent it from moving during a collision or
sudden braking.
Check the tire from the side to see that
the tire is stored horizontally.

When connecting a jack handle extension
with another extension and a jack handle
end, use a Ph illips−head screwdriver or
jack handle to tighten the bolts on the
joints as shown in the illustration. When
connecting the jack handle with extension,
tighten the wing bolt on the jack handle
securely. Make sure the hollow meets the
bolt on any joint when you tighten the
bolts. —Raising your vehicle6. After making sure no one is in the
vehicle, raise it high enough so that
the spare tire can be installed.
Remember you will need more ground
clearance when putting on the spare tire
than when removing the flat tire.
To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle
end into the joint of the jack (it is a loose
fit) and turn it clockwise with the handle,
making sure the handle remains firmly
fitted onto the jack handle end. As the
jack touches the vehicle and begins to lift,
double −check that it is properly positioned.
CAUTION
Never get under the vehicle when the
vehicle is supported by the jack
alone.

—Lowering your vehicle
9. Lower the vehicle completely and
tighten the wheel nuts.
Turn the jack handle extension counter-
clockwise with handle to lower the vehicle,
making sure the handle remains firmly
fitted onto the jack handle extension.
Use only the wheel nut wrench and turn
it clockwise to tighten the nuts. Do not
use other tools or any additional leverage
other than your hands, such as a hammer,
pipe or your foot. Make sure the wrench
is securely engaged over the nut.
Tighten each nut a little at a time in the
order shown. Repeat the process until all
the nuts are tight.
CAUTION
When lowering the vehicle, make sure
all portions of your body and all oth-
er persons around will not be injured
as the vehicle is lowered to the
ground.

—After changing wheels
11. Check the air pressure of the re- placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specification
designated in Section 8. If the pressure is
lower, drive slowly to the nearest service
station and fill to the correct pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire inflation
valve cap as dirt and moisture could get
into the valve core and possibly cause air
leakage. If the cap is missing, have a new
one put on as soon as possible.
12. Restow all the tools, jack and flat tire securely.
As soon after changing wheels as pos-
sible, tighten the wheel nuts to the torque
specified in Section 8 with a torque
wrench. Have a technician repair the flat
tire.
This is the same procedure for changing
or rotating your tires.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools, jack and flat tire are securely
in place in their storage location to
reduce the possibility of personal in-
jury during a collision or s udden
braking.
(a) Towing with wheel lift type truck—
—From rear
(b) Using flat bed truck —From front
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you have it done by your Toyota dealer
or a commercial tow truck service. In
consultation with them, have your ve-
hicle towed using either (a) or (b).
Only when you cannot receive a towing
service from a Toyota dealer or com-
mercial tow truck service, tow your ve-
hicle carefully in accordance with the
instructions given in ”—Emergency tow-
ing” in this section.
Proper equipment will help ensure that
your vehicle is not damaged while being
towed. Commercial operators are generally
aware of the state/provincial and local
laws pertaining to towing.
Your vehicle can be damaged if it is
towed incorrectly. Although most operators
know the correct procedure, it is possible
to make a mistake. To avoid damage to
your vehicle, make sure the following pre-
cautions are observed. If necessary, show
this page to the tow truck driver.
TOWING PRECAUTIONS:
Use a safety chain system for all towing,
and abide by the state/provincial and local
laws. The wheels and axle on the ground
must be in good condition. If they are
damaged, use a towing dolly.
If your vehicle needs
to be towed—

L/C 100_U
210 2000 L/C 100 (OM60866U)
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by your Toyota
dealer or a commercial tow truck ser-
vice.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be tempo-
rarily towed by a cable or chain se-
cured to one of the following parts:
Front: Front emergency towing hook
Rear: Rear emergency towing hook
Use extreme caution when towing the
vehicle.
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer it
and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard
−surfaced roads for a short dis-
tance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, drive train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when towing ve-
hicle. Avoid sudden starts or erratic
driving maneuvers which would place
excessive stress on the emergency
towing hook and towing cable or
chain. The hook and towing cable or
chain may break and cause serious
injury or damage.
NOTICE
Do not use front and rear eyelets.
It is not designed for towing.
Use only a cable or chain specifi-
cally intended for use in towing ve-
hicles. Securely fasten the cable or
chain to the towing hook provided.
Before towing, release the parking brake
and put the transmission in ”N”. Unlock
the center differential. The key must be in
”ACC” (engine off) or ”ON” (engine run-
ning).
CAUTION
If the engine is not running, the pow-
er assist for the brakes and steering
will not work so steering and braking
will be much harder than usual.
