YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
Lowering the antenna
To lower a power antenna, push the ”
”
(down) switch. Also, the antenna automati-
cally goes down when the radio mode is
switched off to turn on the cassette tape
player or compact disc player, turning off
the audio system by pushing ”PWR·VOL”
or turning the ignition key to ”LOCK” posi-
tion.
Some models also have an antenna
printed on the inside of the right side
quarter window.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the antenna,
make sure it is retracted before
driving your Toyota through an au-
tomatic car wash.
On models with glass antenna, at-
taching the film (especially conduc-
tive or metallic type) on the right
side quarter window will noticeably
reduce the sensitivity of the radio.
Down Up
Adjusting the power antenna
To adjust the antenna height, push the
switch.
Confirm that no one is close enough to
get pushed before extending the antenna.
Clean the antenna mast periodically with
a clean dry cloth. YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
When you insert a cassette, the exposed
tape should be to the right.
NOTICE
Do not oil any part of the player and
do not insert anything other than cas-
sette tapes into the slot, or the tape
player may be damaged.
YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER
When you insert a disc, gently push it in
with the label side up. (The player will
automatically eject a disc if the label side
is down.)
The discs set in the player are played
continuously, starting with disc number 1.
The disc number of the disc currently be-
ing played, the track number and the time
from the beginning of the program appear
on the display.
When play of one disc ends, the first
track of the following disc starts. When
play of the final disc ends, play of the
first disc starts again.
The player will skip any empty disc num-
ber.

−road vehicle precautions
This vehicle belongs to the ut ility ve-
hicle class, which has higher ground
clearance and narrower tread in relation
to the height of its center of gravity to
make it capable of performing in a wide
variety of off −road applications. Specif-
ic design characteristics give it a high-
er center of gravity than ordinary pas-
senger cars. This vehicle design
feature causes this type of vehicle to
be more likely to rollover. And, utility
vehicles have a significantly higher rol-
lover rate than other types of vehicles.
An advantage of the higher ground
clearance is a better view of the road
allowing you to anticipate problems. It
is not designed for cornering at the
same speeds as ordinary passenger
cars any more than low −slung sports
cars designed to perform satisfactorily
under off −road conditions. Therefore,
sharp turns at excessive speeds may
cause rollover.CAUTION
Always observe the following precau-
tions to minimize the risk of serious
personal injury or damage to your ve-
hicle: In a rollover 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.
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-
vers, if at all possible. Failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control or vehicle
rollover causing death or serious in-
jury.
Avoid loading any items on the roof
that will raise the vehicle’s center
of gravity.
Always slow down in gusty cross-
winds. Because of its profile and
higher center of gravity, your ve-
hicle is more sensitive to side
winds than an ordinary passenger
car. Slowing down will allow you
to have better control.

Depressing the brake pedal on slippery
road surfaces such as on the manhole
cover, the steel plate under the construc-
tion, joints in the bridge, etc. on a rainy
day tends to activate the anti
−lock brake
system.
You may hear a click or motor sound in
the engine compartment for a few seconds
when the engine is started or just after
the vehicle is started. This means that the
anti −lock brake system is in the self
check mode, and does not indicate a mal-
function.
When the anti −lock brake system is ac-
tivated, the following conditions may
occur. They do not indicate a malfunc-
tion of the system:
You may hear the anti −lock brake sys-
tem operating and feel the brake pedal
pulsating and the vibrations of the body
and steering wheel. You may also hear
the motor sound in the engine compart-
ment even after the vehicle is stopped.
At the end of the anti −lock brake sys-
tem activation, the brake pedal may
move a little forward.
CAUTION
Do not overestimate the anti −lock
brake system: Although the anti −lock
brake system assists in providing ve-
hicle control, it is still important to
drive with all due care and maintain
a moderate speed and safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you, be-
cause there are limits to the vehicle
stability and effectiveness of steering
wheel operation even with the anti −
lock brake system on.
If tires grip performance exceeds its
capability, or if hydroplaning occurs
during high speed driving in the rain,
the anti −lock brake system does not
provide vehicle control.
Anti −lock brake system is not de-
signed to shorten the stopping dis-
tance: Always drive at the moderate
speed and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you.
Compared with vehicles without an
anti −lock brake system, your vehicle
may require a longer stopping dis-
tance in the following cases: Driving on rough, gravel or snow −
covered roads.
Driving with tire chains installed.
Driving over the steps such as the
joints on the road.
Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has other differ-
ences in surface height.
Install all 4 tires of specified size at
appropriate pressure: The anti −lock
brake system detects vehicle speeds
using the speed sensors for respec-
tive wheels’ turning speeds. The use
of tires other than specified may fail
to detect the accurate turning speed,
resulting in a longer stopping dis-
tance.
