Power sliding door
Some vehicles are equipped with a power
sliding door on the right side. This system
has the following functions:
The power sliding door can be oper-
ated with the “PWR DOOR” switches
inside the vehicle or wireless remote
control transmitter. (For details about
the wireless remote control transmitter,
see “Wireless remote control” in this
section.)
If you move the sliding door to the
opening or closing direction by hand,
the sliding door will automatically and
completely open or close after you let
go of the sliding door.
CAUTION
Do not leave small children or pets
unattended in your vehicle. They
could operate the power sliding door,
and they themselves or others could
be injured. Turn off the power sliding
door system when the power sliding
door is not in use.
“PWR DOOR OFF” SWITCH
This switch is used to turn on and off
the power sliding door system. For op-
erating the power sliding door, the
“PWR DOOR OFF” switch on the instru-
ment panel must be pushed out. (The
orange line on the top of the switch
indicates that the system is on.) To dis-
able the power sliding door feature,
push in the switch.When the power sliding door system is
on, you can open and close the sliding
door with the “PWR DOOR” switches in-
side the vehicle or wireless remote control
transmitter even if the sliding door child−
protector is locked. If small children or
pets are in the vehicle, turn off the sys-
tem to prevent the accidental operation of
the door.
CAUTION
When jacking up the vehicle, turn off
the power sliding door system and
close the sliding door completely.
NOTICE
When your vehicle goes through an
automatic car wash, make sure the
power sliding door system is off.

3. Look for obvious coolant leaks from the
radiator, hoses, and under the vehicle.
However, note that water draining from
the air conditioning is normal if it has
been used.
CAUTION
When the engine is running, keep
hands and clothing away from the
moving fan and engine drive belts.
4. If the coolant is leaking, stop the en-
gine immediately. Call a Toyota dealer
for assistance.
5. If there are no obvious leaks, check
the coolant reservoir. If it is dry, add
coolant to the reservoir while the en-
gine is running. Fill it about half full.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine and radiator are
hot. Serious injury could result from
scalding hot fluid and steam blown
out under pressure.
6. After the engine coolant temperature
has cooled to normal, again check the
coolant level in the reservoir. If neces-
sary, bring it up to half full again. Seri-
ous coolant loss indicates a leak in the
system. You should have it checked as
soon as possible at your Toyota dealer.
If you have a flat tire—
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place well away from
the traffic. Avoid stopping on the center
divider of a highway. Park on a level
spot with firm ground.
2. Stop the engine and turn on your
emergency flashers.
3. Firmly set the parking brake and put
the transmission in “P”.
4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle
on the side away from traffic.
5. Read the following instructions thor-
oughly.
CAUTION
When jacking, be sure to observe the
following to reduce the possibility of
personal injury:
Follow jacking instructions.
Do not put any part of your body
under the vehicle supported by the
jack. Personal injury may occur.
Do not start or run the engine while
your vehicle is supported by the
jack.

—Loosening wheel nuts
4. Loosen all the wheel nuts.
Always loosen the wheel nuts before rais-
ing the vehicle.
The nuts turn counterclockwise to loosen.
To get maximum leverage, fit the wrench
to the nut so that the handle is on the
right side, as shown above. Grab the
wrench near the end of the handle and
pull up on the handle. Be careful that the
wrench does not slip off the nut.
Do not remove the nuts yet—just unscrew
them about one−half turn.
—Positioning the jack
5. Position the jack at the correct jack
point as shown.
Make sure the jack is positioned on a
level and solid place.
CAUTION
When jacking up the vehicle, turn off
the power sliding door system and
close the sliding door completely.
—Raising your vehicle
6. After making sure that 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
into the jack (it is a loose fit) and turn it
clockwise. As the jack touches the vehicle
and begins to lift, double−check that it is
properly positioned.
