7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

Add coolant if necessary.

Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.

Start the engine to check that the radiator cooling fan operates and
to check for coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses.
If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and contact your Toyota dealer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest Toyota dealer.

WARNING

■

When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.

●

If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.

●

Keep hands and clothing away from the fans, etc., while the engine is run-
ning.

●

Do not loosen the radiator cap and the coolant reservoir cap while the
engine and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.

NOTICE

■

When adding engine coolant

Add coolant slowly after the engine has cooled down sufficiently. Adding
cool coolant to a hot engine too quickly can cause damage to the engine.

■

To prevent damage to the cooling system

Observe the following precautions:

●

Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust,
etc.).

●

Do not use any coolant additives.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

If the vehicle becomes stuck

Stop the engine. Set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P
(automatic transmission) or N (manual transmission).
Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the rear wheels.
Place wood, stones or some other material to help provide traction
under the rear wheels.
Restart the engine.
Shift the shift lever to D or R (automatic transmission), or 1 or R
(manual transmission) and release the parking brake. Then, while
exercising caution, depress the accelerator pedal.

■

When it is difficult to free the vehicle

Press

to turn off TRAC.

Turn off TRAC/active traction control system (if equipped) and/or VSC if these
functions are hampering your attempts to free the vehicle.
(



P. 318, 319)

Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:

WARNING

■

When attempting to free a stuck vehicle

If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the
surrounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.

■

When shifting the shift lever (vehicles with an automatic transmission)

Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

NOTICE

■

To avoid damage to the transmission and other components

●

Avoid spinning the rear wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more
than necessary.

●

If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.

●

When a warning message for the automatic transmission fluid temperature
is displayed while attempting to free a stuck vehicle, immediately remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal and wait until the warning message
disappears. Otherwise, the transmission may become damaged.

Engine oil selection

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to sat-
isfy the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice
for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available,
SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change.

Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):

• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows cold

startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for easier starting
of the engine in cold weather.

• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when the

oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity (one with a
higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load conditions.

How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant
Specification Advisory Commit-
tee (ILSAC) Certification Mark
is added to some oil containers
to help you select the oil you
should use.

Fuel information

■

Gasoline quality

In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gaso-
line you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of
gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.

■

Recommendation of the use of gasoline containing detergent additives

●

Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to
avoid the build-up of engine deposits.

●

All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains minimum detergent additives to
clean and/or keep clean intake systems, per EPA’s lowest additives concen-
tration program.

●

Toyota strongly recommends the use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For
more information on Top Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list of marketers,
please go to the official website www.toptiergas.com.

■

Recommendation of the use of low emissions gasoline

Gasolines containing oxygenates such as ethers and ethanol, as well as
reformulated gasolines, are available in some cities. These fuels are typically
acceptable for use, providing they meet other fuel requirements.
Toyota recommends these fuels, since the formulations allow for reduced
vehicle emissions.

You must only use unleaded gasoline.
Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher.
Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87
may result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to
engine damage.

At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of
ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A..

■

Non-recommendation of the use of blended gasoline

●

If you use gasohol in your vehicle, be sure that it has an octane rating no
lower than 87.

●

Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.

■

Non-recommendation of the use of gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains an octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcy-
clopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel
containing MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely
affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this
happens, contact your Toyota dealer for service.

■

If your engine knocks

●

Consult your Toyota dealer.

●

You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerat-
ing or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

●

Use only gasoline containing up to 15%
ethanol.
DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gasoline
that could contain more than 15% etha-
nol, including from any pump labeled
E30, E50, E85 (which are only some
examples of fuel containing more than
15% ethanol).

DO NOT use gasoline contain-
ing more than 15% ethanol.

(30% ethanol)

(85% ethanol)

548

8-1. Specifications

NOTICE

■

Notice on fuel quality

●

Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be
damaged.

●

Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalytic
converters causing the emission control system to malfunction.

●

Do not use gasohol other than the type previously stated.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems.

●

Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than the
level previously stated will cause persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.

■

Fuel-related poor driveability

If poor driveability (poor hot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.) is
encountered after using a different type of fuel, discontinue the use of that
type of fuel.

■

When refueling with gasohol

Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle’s paint.

This means the pressure to which a tire may be inflated.

TUBELESS or TUBE TYPE

A tubeless tire does not have a tube and air is directly put into the tire.

A tube type tire has a tube inside the tire and the tube maintains the air

pressure.

Radial tires or bias-ply tires

A radial tire has “RADIAL” on the sidewall. A tire not marked “RADIAL”

is a bias-ply tire.

Summer tire or all season tire

(

This information has been prepared in accordance with regulations
issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the
U.S. Department of Transportation.
It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Toyota
vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading.

Your Toyota dealer will help answer any questions you may have as

you read this information.

■

DOT quality grades

All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Require-
ments in addition to these grades. Quality grades can be found
where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width.

For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

■

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear
rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a speci-
fied government test course.

For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2)

times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.

The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual condi-

tions of their use. Performance may differ significantly from the norm

due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences

in road characteristics and climate.

■

Traction AA, A, B, C

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C,
and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete.

A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking

(straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turn-

ing) traction.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading

554

8-1. Specifications

■

Temperature A, B, C

The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing
the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissi-
pate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified
indoor laboratory test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to

degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead

to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger

car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-

dard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the labo-

ratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is properly

inflated and not overloaded.

Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either sepa-

rately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire

failure.

Votre véhicule est équipé de COUSSINS GONFLABLES ÉVOLUÉS,
dont la conception est basée sur les normes de sécurité des véhicules
automobiles américains (FMVSS208). Le boîtier électronique de
coussins gonflables (ECU) utilise les informations reçues des
capteurs, etc., détaillés dans le schéma ci-dessus de composition du
système, pour commander le déploiement des coussins gonflables.
Ces informations comprennent des informations sur la gravité de la
collision et les occupants. Le déploiement rapide des coussins
gonflables est obtenu au moyen d’une réaction chimique dans les
dispositifs pyrotechniques, qui produit un gaz inoffensif permettant
d’amortir le mouvement des occupants.

Précautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS

Respectez les précautions suivantes concernant les coussins gonflables
SRS.
À défaut, des blessures graves, voire mortelles, pourraient s’ensuivre.

●

Le conducteur et tous les passagers à bord du véhicule doivent porter leur
ceinture de sécurité correctement.
Les coussins gonflables SRS sont des dispositifs de protection
complémentaires aux ceintures de sécurité.

●

Le coussin gonflable SRS conducteur se déploie avec une puissance
considérable et peut occasionner des blessures graves, voire mortelles,
notamment lorsque le conducteur se trouve très près du coussin
gonflable. Conseils de la National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA):
Sachant que la zone de danger pour le coussin gonflable conducteur se
trouve dans les premiers 2 à 3 in. (50 à 75 mm) du déploiement, placez-
vous à 10 in. (250 mm) du coussin gonflable conducteur pour garantir
une marge de sécurité suffisante. Cette distance est à mesurer entre le
moyeu du volant de direction et le sternum. Si vous êtes assis à moins de
10 in. (250 mm), vous pouvez changer votre position de conduite de
plusieurs façons:
• Reculez votre siège le plus possible, tout en continuant à pouvoir

atteindre confortablement les pédales.

• Inclinez légèrement le dossier du siège.

Bien que les véhicules puissent être différents les uns des autres, la
plupart des conducteurs peuvent s’asseoir à une distance de 10 in.
(250 mm), même avec le siège conducteur complètement avancé,
simplement en inclinant un peu le dossier de siège. Si vous avez des
difficultés à voir la route après avoir incliné votre siège, utilisez un
coussin ferme et antidérapant pour vous rehausser ou, si votre véhicule
est équipé du réglage en hauteur du siège, remontez-le.

• Si votre volant de direction est réglable, inclinez-le vers le bas. Cela

vous permet d’orienter le coussin gonflable vers votre buste plutôt que
vers la tête et le cou.

Le siège doit être réglé selon les recommandations de la NHTSA ci-
dessus, tout en conservant le contrôle des pédales et du volant, et la vue
des commandes au tableau de bord.

■

Précautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS

●

Le coussin gonflable SRS passager avant se déploie également avec une
puissance considérable et peut occasionner des blessures graves, voire
mortelles, notamment lorsque le passager avant se trouve très près du
coussin gonflable. Le siège du passager avant doit se trouver le plus loin
possible du coussin gonflable et le dossier doit être réglé de manière à ce
que le passager avant soit assis bien droit.

●

Le déploiement d’un coussin gonflable risque d’infliger des blessures
graves, voire mortelles, aux bébés et aux enfants mal assis et/ou mal
attachés. Installez dans un siège de sécurité enfant les enfants trop jeunes
pour pouvoir utiliser la ceinture de sécurité. Toyota recommande vivement
que tous les nourrissons et enfants soient installés dans les sièges arrière
du véhicule et convenablement attachés. Les sièges arrière sont plus sûrs
pour les nourrissons et les enfants que le siège passager avant.

●

N’installez jamais un siège de sécurité enfant type dos à la route sur le
siège passager avant, même si le voyant “AIR BAG OFF” est allumé.
En cas d’accident, la force exercée par le déploiement rapide du coussin
gonflable passager peut causer des blessures graves, voire mortelles à un
enfant, si le siège de sécurité enfant type dos à la route est installé sur le
siège passager avant.

●

Si vous attachez une rallonge de
ceinture de sécurité aux boucles des
ceintures de sièges avant, mais pas au
pêne de la ceinture de sécurité
proprement

dite,

les

coussins

gonflables SRS frontaux déterminent
que le conducteur et le passager avant
portent leur ceinture de sécurité, alors
même qu’elle n’est pas attachée. Dans
ce cas, les coussins gonflables SRS
frontaux risquent de ne pas se déployer
correctement en cas de collision,
causant des blessures graves, voire
mortelles. Veillez à porter la ceinture de
sécurité avec la rallonge de ceinture de
sécurité.

578

ATTENTION

■

Précautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS

●

Ne pas s’asseoir sur le bord du siège et
ne pas s’appuyer contre la planche de
bord.

●

Ne laissez pas un enfant debout face
au coussin gonflable SRS passager
avant ni assis sur les genoux d’un
passager avant.

●

Ne pas laisser les occupants des sièges
avant voyager avec un objet sur les
genoux.

●

Ne pas s’appuyer contre la porte, contre
le rail latéral de toit ou contre les
montants avant, latéraux et arrière.

●

Ne laissez personne s’agenouiller face
à la portière sur les sièges du passager
ou sortir la tête ou les mains à
l’extérieur du véhicule.

●

Ne fixez ni ne posez aucun objet sur la
planche de bord, la garniture centrale
du volant de direction et la partie
inférieure du tableau de bord.
Lors du déploiement des coussins
gonflables SRS conducteur, passager
avant et de genoux, tout objet risque de
se transformer en projectile.

■

Précautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS

●

Ne suspendez aux crochets à vêtements aucun cintre nu ni aucun objet
dur. En cas de déploiement des coussins gonflables SRS rideau, tous ces
objets pourraient se transformer en projectiles et causer des blessures
graves, voire mortelles.

●

Si une housse en vinyle recouvre la partie où le coussins gonflable SRS
de genoux se déploie, veillez à l’enlever.

●

N’utilisez aucun accessoire de siège venant recouvrir les zones de
déploiement des coussins gonflables SRS latéraux, car il risquerait d’en
gêner le déploiement. De tels accessoires peuvent empêcher les coussins
gonflables latéraux de fonctionner correctement, désactiver le dispositif ou
entraîner le déploiement accidentel des coussins latéraux, entraînant la
mort ou des blessures graves.

●

Évitez de faire subir des chocs ou des pressions excessives aux zones
renfermant les composants des coussins gonflables SRS.
En effet, cela pourrait entraîner un mauvais fonctionnement des coussins
gonflables SRS.

●

Ne touchez à aucun composant des coussins gonflables SRS
immédiatement après leur déploiement (gonflage), car ils pourraient être
chauds.

●

Si vous avez des difficultés à respirer après le déploiement des coussins
gonflables SRS, ouvrez une porte ou une vitre pour faire entrer de l’air
frais, ou bien descendez du véhicule si cela ne présente pas de danger.
Retirez tout résidu dès que possible afin d’éviter d’éventuelles irritations
de la peau.

●

Ne rien fixer sur les parties telles que
les portes, la vitre de pare-brise, les
vitres latérales, les montants avant et
arrière, les rails latéraux de toit et les
poignées de maintien.

●

Ne pas attacher à la clé des objets
lourds, pointus ou très durs, comme
d’autres clés par exemple. Ces objets
risquent d’entraver le déploiement du
coussin gonflable SRS de genoux ou
d’être projetés en direction du siège
conducteur par la force de déploiement,
constituant ainsi un danger potentiel.

580

ATTENTION

■

Précautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS

●

Si les parties renfermant les coussins gonflables SRS, telles que la
garniture centrale du volant de direction et les garnitures de montants
avant et arrière, apparaissent abîmées ou craquelées, faites-les remplacer
par votre concessionnaire Toyota.

●

Ne placez aucun objet, par exemple un coussin, sur le siège du passager
avant. Cela a pour conséquence de répartir le poids du passager sur toute
la surface du siège, ce qui empêche le capteur de détecter normalement
le poids du passager. En conséquence, les coussins gonflables SRS
frontaux du passager avant peuvent ne pas se déployer en cas de
collision.

■

Modification et élimination en fin de vie des éléments du système de
coussins gonflables SRS

Consultez impérativement votre concessionnaire Toyota si vous avez
besoin d’intervenir sur votre véhicule ou de procéder à l’une des
modifications suivantes. Les coussins gonflables SRS peuvent ne pas
fonctionner correctement ou se déployer (gonfler) accidentellement,
provoquant ainsi des blessures graves, voire mortelles.

●

Installation, dépose, démontage et réparations des coussins gonflables
SRS

●

Réparations, modifications, démontage ou remplacement du volant, du
tableau de bord, de la planche de bord, des sièges ou de leur garnissage,
des montants avant, latéraux et arrière ou des rails latéraux de toit

●

Réparation ou modification des ailes avant, du bouclier avant, ou des
flancs de l’habitacle

Loading precaution

If a load is too far back, it can cause dangerous handling. If it is too far
forward, the front axle may be overloaded.

582

When the truck is used to carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo load
of the truck consists of the manufacturer’s camper weight figure, the
weight of installed additional camper equipment not included in the
manufacturer’s camper weight figure, the weight of camper cargo, and
the weight of passengers in the camper.
The total cargo load should not exceed the truck’s cargo weight rating
and the camper’s center of gravity should fall within the truck’s
recommended center of gravity zone when installed.

Overloading

Be careful — overloading can cause dangerous braking and handling
problems, and can damage your vehicle and its tires.

584

Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that could affect the
balance of your vehicle. When the truck camper is loaded, drive to a
scale and weigh on the front and on the rear wheels separately to
determine axle loads. Individual axle loads should not exceed either
of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle loads
should not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). These
ratings are given on the vehicle certification label which is located on
the door latch post on the left side of the vehicle. (



P. 535) If weight

ratings are exceeded, move or remove items to bring all weights
below the ratings.
