Your vehicle is supplied with two
kinds of key.
1. Master keyÐThis key works in every lock.
2. SubkeyÐThis key will not work in the trunk.
To protect things locked in the trunk when
you have your vehicle parked, leave the subkey with the attendant. Since the doors and trunk lid can be
locked without a key, you should always
carry a
spare master key in case you acci-
dentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.KEY NUMBER PLATE
Your key number is shown on the
plate. Keep the plate in a safe place
such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
If you should lose your keys or if you need
additional keys, duplicates can be made
by a Toyota dealer using the key number.
You should also put a copy of the key
number with your important papers.

15
To resume the setting, close and lock all the doors, the trunk and hood. The trunk must be closed with the key removed. CANCELLING THE SYSTEM
Unlock either door with the key. This can- cels the system completely and the start-er circuit cut will be cancelled at once.
INDICATOR LIGHT
The indicator light gives the following three indications.
FLASHINGÐThe system is set. You
need
the key to open the doors, trunk and
hood.
ONÐThe system will automatically be set
when the time comes. The doors, trunk
and hood may be opened without a key.
OFFÐThe system is inactive. You may
open any door, trunk and hood. TESTING THE SYSTEM
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the system as described above.
The doors should be locked with the key. Be sure to wait until the indicator light
starts flashing.
3. Unlock eit
her door from the inside. The
system should activate the alarm.
4. Cancel the system by unlocking either
door with the key.
5. Repeat this operation for the other
doors, trunk and hood. When testing on
the hood, also check that the system is ac-
tivated when the battery terminal is dis-
connected and then reconnected.
If the system does not work properly, have
it checked by your Toyota dealer.
1. To open the fuel filler door, pull the
lever up.
CAUTION!
Do not smoke, cause sparks or al-
low open flames when refuelling.
The fumes are flammable.
When opening the cap, do not re-
move the cap quickly. In hot weath-
er, fuel under pressure could cause
injury by spraying out of the filler
neck if the cap is suddenly re- moved.

2. To remove the fuel tank cap, turn
the cap slowly counterclockwise, then
pause slightly before removing it. Af-
ter removing the cap, hang it on the
cap hanger.
It is not unusual to hear a slight swoosh
when the cap is opened. When installing,
turn the cap clockwise till you hear a click.
CAUTION!
Make sure the cap is tightened se-
curely to prevent fuel spillage in
case of an accident.
Use only a genuine Toyota fuel tank
cap for replacement. It has a built-
in check valve to reduce fuel tank vacuum.CAUTION!
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following. While the vehicle is moving, always
keep the head, hands and other
parts of the body of all occupants away from the roof opening. Other-
wise, you could be seriously in-
jured if the vehicle stops suddenly
or if the vehicle is involved in an ac-cident.
Never sit on top of the vehicle
around the roof opening.
Never attempt to remove the moon
roof panel while driving. Other-
wise, the panel may become a haz- ard by falling into or flying off thevehicle.
After installing the moon roof pan-
el, make sure they are firmly se-
cured by pushing up on the under-
side of the panel.
Never put your hands between the
moon roof panel and the surround-
ing roof.

OPERATION OF INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLSÐ
Chapter 1-5 Gauges, Meters and Service reminderindicators
Fuel gauge
Engine coolant temperature gauge
Tachometer
Odometer and trip meter
Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers
The gauge works when the ignition
switch is on
and indicates the approxi-
mate quantity of fuel remaining in the tank. Nearly fullÐNeedle at Fº Nearly emptyÐNeedle at Eº
It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4 full.
This fuel gauge has a non-return type
needle wh ich remains at the last indicated
position when the ignition switch is turned
off. If the level approaches Eº, or the low fuel
level warning light comes on, fill the fuel
tank as soon as possible. If the fuel tank is completely empty, themalfunction 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 your Toyota dealer assoon as possible.

54
The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature when the ignition 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: Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
Idling for a long period with the air con-
ditioning on in stop-and-go traffic.
NOTICE
Do 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.
Do not continue driving with anoverheated engine. See If your
vehicle overheatsº in Part 4.
The tachometer indicates engine speed
in thousands of rpm (revolutions per
minute). Use it while driving to select
correct shift points and to prevent en-
gine lugging and overrevving.
Driving with the engine running too fast
causes excessive engine wear and poor
fuel economy. Remember, in most cases
the slower the engine speed, the greater
the fuel economy.
NOTICE
Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone. This may cause
severe engine damage.

(a) Malfunction Indicator Lamp
This lamp comes on in the following cases.
a. The fuel tank is completely empty.
(See Fuel gaugeº in Chapter 1-5 for in- structions.)
b. There is a
problem somewhere in your
engine or automatic transmission electri- cal system.
If it comes on while you are driving in case
b, have your vehicle checked/repaired by
your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
(b) 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.
(c) ABSº Warning Light
This light warns that there is a problem
somewhere in your anti-lock brake sys- tem.
If the light comes on while you are driving,
have your vehicle checked by your T oyota
dealer as soon as possible.
The light comes on when the ignition key
is turned to the ONº position. After about
3 seconds, the light will go off. When the ABSº warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the brake system
operates conventionally but
without anti-lock function.
(d) Open Door Warning Light
This light remains on until both side doors
are completely closed.
(e) SRS Airbag Warning Light
This light will come on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the ACCº or ONº
position. After about 6 seconds, the
light will go off. This means the airbag
system is operating properly.
The warning light system monitors the air
bag sensor assembly, inflators, warning
light, interconnecting wiring and power sources.
If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by the warning light
system. Contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible to service the vehicle. The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the ACCº or
ONº position or remains on.
The light comes on while driving. (f) Light Reminder Buzzer
The buzzer will sound if the driver's door is opened with the key removed from the
ignition switch and the headlight switch
left on.
(g) Key Reminder Buzzer
This buzzer reminds you to remove the
key when you open the driver's door with the ignition key in the ACCº or LOCKºposition.
