CAUTION!
Before driving, be sure that the
doors are closed and locked, espe-
cially when small children are in the
vehicle. Along with the proper use
of seat belts, locking the doors
helps prevent the driver and pas-
sengers from being thrown out
from the vehicle during an acci-
dent. It also helps prevent the doors
from being opened unintentionally.
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each side door.
The power windows work when the igni- tion switch is in the ONº position. Howev-
er, if both side doors are closed, they work
for 60 seconds even after the ignition
switch is turned off. They stop working
when either side door is opened.
OPERATING THE DRIVER'S WINDOW
Use the switch on the driver's door.
Normal operation: The window moves
as long as you hold the switch.
To open: Lightly pull down the switch.
To close: Push up the switch.Automatic operation (to open only):
Pull the switch completely down and then
release it. The window will fully open. To
stop the window partway, lightly push the switch up and then release it.

To open the back door from the out-
side, insert the key and turn it clock- wise.
See ``Luggage stowage precautionsº in
Part 2 for precautions to observe in load- ing luggage.
To close the back door, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the back door, try
pulling it up to make sure it is securely closed.
Keep the back door closed while
driving. This not only keeps the
luggage from being thrown out but
also prevents exhaust gases from
entering the vehicle.
CAUTION!
To open the back door from the driv-
er's seat, pull up on the lock release
lever.To open the hood, pull the hood lock
release lever under the dash. The hood
will spring up slightly. In front of the
vehicle, press up on the auxiliary
catch lever and lift the hood. Then
hold the hood open by inserting the
support rod into the slot.
Before closing the hood, check to see that
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,
etc. and return the support rod to its clipÐthis prevents rattles.
Your Supra has two hood locks at the front
edge of the hood. Hood

To deter the vehicle theft, the system is
designed to give an alarm and keep the
engine from being started if any of the
side doors, back door or hood is forci-
bly unlocked or the battery terminal is
disconnected and then reconnected
when the vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlights, tail lights andother exterior lights. The engine cannot
be started because the starter circuit will be cut.SETTING THE SYSTEM
1. Turn the ignition key to the LOCKº
position and remove it.
2. Have all passengers get out of the ve- hicle.
3. Close and lock all the side doors, back
door and hood.
The indicator light will come on when all
the side doors, back door and hood are
closed and locked.
As the side doors are locked, the system
will give you a preparation time of 30 sec-
onds before the setting, during which the
side doors, back door and hood may be
opened to prepare for the setting. Be careful not to use the key when open-
ing either side door. This will cancel the system.
4. After making sure the indicator light
starts fl
ashing, you may leave the vehicle.
The system will automatically be set after the preparation time passes. The indica-
tor light will flash to show the system is
set. If any of the side doors, back door or
hood is open at that time, the setting is in-
terrupted until it is closed and locked. Never leave anyone in the vehicle when you set the system, because unlocking
from the inside will activate the system. WHEN THE SYSTEM IS SET Activating the system
The system will give the alarm and cut the
starter circuit under the following condi- tions: If any of the side doors, back door or
hood is unlocked without using the
key.
If the battery terminal is disconnectedand then reconnected
After one minute, the alarm will automati-
cally stop with the starter circuit cut kept on.

Once
set, the system automatically resets
the alarm each time all the side doors, back door and hood are closed after the alarm stops.
The alarm will be activated again under the following conditions: If any of the side doors, back door or
hood is opened
If the battery terminal is disconnectedand then reconnected
Stopping the alarm
Turn the ignition key from the LOCKº to
ACCº position . The alarm will be stopped
with the starter circuit cut kept on. Stop-
ping the alarm in this manner will keep the
alarm from being reactivated when any of
the side doors, back door or hood is opened.
Interrupting the setting When the system set, the back door can
be opened by using the key without set-
ting off the system. While the back door is
open, the setting is interrupted and the
side doors and hood may be opened in
addition. However, when the battery ter-
minal is disconnected and then recon-
nected, the system is activated. Close and lock the side doors and hood,
and the system will automatically be reset
after two seconds when the back door isclosed with the key removed. CANCELLING THE SYSTEM
Unlock either side door with the key. This
cancels the system completely and the
starter ci
rcuit cut will be cancelled at once.

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
weather, fuel under pressure
could cause injury by spraying
out of the filler neck if the cap is
suddenly removed.
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.

3. Tighten the bolts and lock the cen-
ter lock in the order shown. (See
ÐDetaching from vehicleº for de-
tails.) Note that all five connections need to be
tight to secure the sport roof. Reverse the wrench handle so the
TIGHTENº side faces toward you and
turn it clockwise.
Check that the roof is correctly installed by
lightly trying to move the roof.
Put the wrench, handle, caps and plugs back in the tool bag in the console box.
Make sure to tighten all four bolts
and to lock the center lock when
installing the sport roof.
CAUTION!

ADJUSTING SEAT POSITION
Pull the lock release lever up. Then
slide the seat to the desired position
with slight body pressure and release
the lever.
ADJUSTING SEATBACK ANGLE
Lean forward and pull the lock release
lever. Then lean back to the desired
angle and release the lever.
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision, avoid
reclining the seatback any more
than needed. The seat belts provide
maximum protection when the driv-
er and the passenger are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats.
If you are reclined, the lap belt may
slide past your hips and apply re-
straint forces directly to the abdo-
men. Therefore, in the event of a
frontal collision, the risk of personal
injury may increase with increasing
recline of the seatback.
