If your vehicle will not start—

(a) Simple checks

(b) Starting a flooded engine

Before making these checks, make sure

you have followed the correct starting pro-

cedure given in “How to start the engine”

in Section 3 and that you have sufficient

fuel.

If the engine turns over at its normal

speed but will not start—

If the engine will not start, your engine

may be flooded because of repeated

cranking.

1. Turn the ignition key to “ACC” or

“LOCK” and try starting the engine

again.

If this happens, turn the key to “START”

with the accelerator pedal fully depressed.

Keep the key and accelerator pedal in

these positions for 15 seconds and re-

lease them. Then try starting the engine

with your foot off the accelerator pedal.

If the engine is not turning over or is

turning over too slowly—

2. If the engine will not start, the engine

may be flooded because of repeated

cranking. See “(b) Starting a flooded

engine” for further instructions.

1. Check that the battery terminals are

tight and clean.

If the engine does not start after 15 se-

conds of cranking, release the key, wait

a few minutes and try again.

2. If the battery terminals are O.K., switch

on the interior light.

3. If the engine still will not start, it needs

adjustment or repair. Call

a

Toyota

dealer or qualified repair shop.

3. If the light is out, dim or goes out

when the starter is cranked, the battery

is discharged. You may try jump start-

ing. See “(c) Jump starting” for further

instructions.

If the engine still will not start, it needs

adjustment or repair. Call a Toyota dealer

or qualified repair shop for assistance.

NOTICE

If the light is O.K., but the engine still will

not start, it needs adjustment or repair.

Do not crank for more than 30 seconds

at a time. This may overheat the starter

and wiring systems.

Call

a

Toyota dealer or qualified repair

shop.

NOTICE

Do not pull− or push−start the vehicle.

It may damage the vehicle or cause a

collision when the engine starts. Also

the three−way catalytic converter may

overheat and become a fire hazard.

(c) Jump starting

To avoid serious personal injury and

damage to your vehicle which might re-

sult from battery explosion, acid burns,

electrical burns, or damaged electronic

components, these instructions must be

followed precisely.

JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE

D The gas normally produced by

a

another vehicle, make sure the vehicles

are not touching. Turn off all unneces-

sary lights and accessories.

battery will explode if a flame or

spark is brought near. Use only

standardized jumper cables and do

not smoke or light a match while

jump starting.

2. If required, remove all the vent plugs

from the booster and discharged batter-

ies. Lay a cloth over the open vents

on the batteries. (This helps reduce the

explosion hazard, personal injuries and

burns.)

If you are unsure about how to follow this

procedure, we strongly recommend that

you seek the help of a competent me-

chanic or towing service.

NOTICE

The battery used for boosting must

be 12 V. Do not jump start unless you

are sure that the booster battery is

correct.

CAUTION

3. If the engine in the vehicle with the

booster battery is not running, start it

and let it run for a few minutes. During

jump starting, run the engine at about

2000 rpm with the accelerator pedal

lightly depressed.

D Batteries

contain

sulfuric

acid

which is poisonous and corrosive.

Wear protective safety glasses when

jump starting, and avoid spilling

acid on your skin, clothing, or ve-

hicle.

D If you should accidentally get acid

on yourself or in your eyes, remove

any contaminated clothing and flush

the affected area with water imme-

diately. Then get immediate medical

attention. If possible, continue to

apply water with a sponge or cloth

while en route to the medical office.

If you cannot increase the

engine speed

If your engine stalls while

driving

(2ZZ−GE engine)

5. Start your engine in the normal way.

After starting, run it at about 2000 rpm

for several minutes with the accelerator

pedal lightly depressed.

If your engine stalls while driving...

If the engine speed does not increase

when the accelerator pedal is depressed,

there may be a problem somewhere in

your electronic throttle control system.

1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping

a straight line. Move cautiously off the

road to a safe place.

6. Carefully disconnect the cables in the

exact reverse order: the negative cable

and then the positive cable.

At this time, vibration may occur. Howev-

er, if you depress the accelerator pedal

more firmly and slowly, you can drive your

vehicle at low speeds. Have your vehicle

checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as

possible.

2. Turn on your emergency flashers.

3. Turn the ignition key to “ACC” or

“LOCK”, and try starting the engine

again.

7. Carefully dispose of the battery cover

cloths—they may now contain sulfuric

acid.

If the engine will not start, see “If your

vehicle will not start” in this Section.

Even if the abnormality of the electronic

throttle control system is corrected during

low speed driving, the system may not be

recovered until the engine is stopped and

the ignition key is turned to “ACC” or

“LOCK” position.

8. If removed, replace all the battery vent

plugs.

CAUTION

If the cause of your battery discharging is

not apparent (for example, lights left on),

you should have it checked at your Toyota

dealer.

If the engine is not running, the pow-

er assist for the brakes and steering

will not work so steering and braking

will be much harder than usual.

CAUTION

Be especially careful to prevent erro-

neous pedal operation.

173

If your vehicle overheats

If your engine coolant temperature

gauge indicates overheating, if you ex-

perience a loss of power, or if you hear

a loud knocking or pinging noise, the

engine has probably overheated. You

should follow this procedure...

3. Look for obvious coolant leaks from the

CAUTION

radiator, hoses, and under the vehicle.

However, note that water draining from

the air conditioning is normal if it has

been used.

Do not attempt to touch the coolant

reservoir tank when the engine and

radiator are hot. Serious injury could

result from scalding hot fluid and

steam blown out under pressure.

CAUTION

1. Pull safely off the road, stop the ve-

hicle and turn on your emergency

flashers. Put the transmission in “P”

(automatic) or neutral (manual) and ap-

ply the parking brake. Turn off the air

conditioning if it is being used.

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.

2. If coolant or steam is boiling out of the

radiator or reservoir, stop the engine.

Wait until the steam subsides before

opening the hood. If there is no coolant

boiling over or steam, leave the engine

running and make sure the electric

cooling fan is operating. If it is not,

turn the ignition off.

5. If there are no obvious leaks, check

the coolant reservoir.

If it is dry, call a Toyota dealer for

assistance as soon as possible.

If there is enough coolant in the reser-

voir, again check the coolant level in

the reservoir after the engine coolant

temperature has cooled to normal. Seri-

ous coolant loss indicates a leak in the

system. You should have it checked as

soon as possible at you Toyota dealer.

CAUTION

To help avoid personal injury, keep

the hood closed until there is no

steam. Escaping steam or coolant is

a sign of very high pressure.

If you have a flat tire—

1. Reduce your speed gradually,

keeping a straight line. Move cau-

tiously 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” (auto-

matic) or reverse (manual).

CAUTION

D Make sure to set the jack prop-

erly in the jack point. Raising

the vehicle with jack improper-

ly positioned will damage the

vehicle or may allow the ve-

hicle to fall off the jack and

cause personal injury.

When jacking, be sure to observe

the following to reduce the possi-

bility of personal injury:

D Follow jacking instructions.

D Do not put any part of your

body under the vehicle sup-

ported by the jack. Otherwise,

personal injury may occur.

D Do not start or run the engine

while your vehicle is supported

by the jack.

D Stop the vehicle on a level firm

ground, firmly set the parking

brake and put the transmission

in “P” (automatic) or reverse

(manual). Block the wheel diag-

onally opposite to the one be-

ing changed if necessary.

D Never get under the vehicle

when the vehicle is supported

by the jack alone.

D Use the jack only for lifting

your vehicle during wheel

changing.

4. Have everyone get out of the ve-

hicle on the side away from traffic.

5. Read the following instructions

thoroughly.

D Do not raise the vehicle with

someone in the vehicle.

D When raising the vehicle, do

not place any objects on top

of or underneath the jack.

D Raise the vehicle only high

enough to remove and change

the tire.

NOTICE

Type A

Type B

Do not continue driving with a

deflated tire. Driving even a

short distance can damage a

tire and wheel beyond repair.

Spare tire with turning direction in-

dicators (some models)

The spare tires with turning direc-

tion indicators are directional and

intended to be used so that they

turn in the same direction as the

turning direction indicators.

Installing the wheel on the driver side

of the vehicle will not affect tire perfor-

mance. If the spare tire is used on

the driver side of the vehicle, it should

be used only temporarily and then re-

placed with the correct one.

Compact spare tire

The compact spare tire is designed

for temporary emergency use only.

The compact spare tire is identified

by the distinctive wheel design and

color

and

special

wording

“TEMPORARY USE ONLY” molded

into the side wall of the tire.

The compact spare tire saves space

in your trunk or luggage compartment,

and its lighter weight helps to improve

fuel economy and permits easier

installation in case of a flat tire.

—Blocking the wheel

To store the jack, put the jack base

on the fitting place. Turn the joint until

the jack upper side fits securely with

the protrusion of the carrier.

This prevents the jack from flying for-

ward during a collision or sudden

braking.

To remove the spare tire:

1. Remove the spare tire cover.

2. Loosen the bolt and remove it.

Then take the spare tire out of the

vehicle.

When storing the spare tire, put it in

place with the inner side of the wheel

facing up. Then secure the tire by re-

peating the above removal steps in

reverse order to prevent it from flying

forward during a collision or sudden

braking.

2. Block the wheel diagonally op-

posite the flat tire to keep the

vehicle from rolling when it is

jacked up.

When blocking the wheel, place a

wheel block in front of one of the front

wheels or behind one of the rear

wheels.

CAUTION

When storing the jack, be careful

not to injure your hands with the

edge of the trim.

CAUTION

Never use oil or grease on the

bolts or nuts. The nuts may loose

and the wheels may fall off,

which could cause a serious ac-

cident.

5. Position the jack at the correct

jack point as shown.

Make sure the jack is positioned on

a level and solid place.

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 posi-

tioned.

If your vehicle becomes stuck

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,

mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt

to rock the vehicle free by moving it

forward and backward.

11.Check the air pressure of the re-

placed tire.

Adjust the air pressure to the specifi-

cation designated in Section 8. If the

pressure is lower, drive slowly to the

nearest service station and fill to the

correct pressure.

Do not forget to reinstall the tire infla-

tion valve cap as dirt and moisture

could get into the valve core and

possibly cause air leakage. If the cap

is missing, have a new one put on as

soon as possible.

CAUTION

Before driving, make sure all the

tools, jack and flat tire are se-

curely in place in their storage

location to reduce the possibility

of personal injury during a colli-

sion or sudden braking.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to rock the vehicle

free by moving it forward and back-

ward if people or objects are any-

where near the vehicle. During the

rocking operation the vehicle may

suddenly move forward or backward

as it becomes unstuck, causing injury

or damage to nearby people or ob-

jects.

12.Restow all the tools, jack and

If you cannot shift automatic

transmission selector lever

CAUTION

If the engine is not running, the pow-

er assist for the brakes and steering

will not work so steering and braking

will be much harder than usual.

If you cannot shift the selector lever

out of “P” position to other positions

even though the brake pedal is de-

pressed, use the shift lock override but-

ton as follows:

3. Insert your finger into the hole to

push down the shift lock override

button. You can shift out of “P”

position only while pushing the but-

ton.

4. Shift into “N” position.

5. Insert the cover.

1. Turn the ignition key to “LOCK”

position. Make sure the parking

brake is applied.

6. Start the engine. For your safety,

keep the brake pedal depressed.

2. Pry up the cover with a flat−bladed

screwdriver or equivalent.

Be sure to have the system checked by

your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

If you lose your wireless

remote control transmitter

If you lose your keys

You can purchase a new key at your

Toyota dealer if you can give them the

key number.

You can purchase a new wireless re-

mote control transmitter at your Toyota

dealer.

See the suggestion given in “Keys” in

Section 1−2.

Have the registered identification numbers

of your transmitters deleted from your ve-

hicle by your Toyota dealer as soon as

possible to avoid the possibility of theft or

an accident. Then, have the identification

number of your new transmitter registered.

At the same time, you must bring all of

the remaining transmitters to have them

registered again as well.

If your keys are locked in the vehicle and

you cannot get a duplicate, many Toyota

dealers can still open the door for you,

using their special tools. If you must

break

a

window to get in, we suggest

breaking the smallest side window be-

cause it is the least expensive to replace.

Be extremely cautious to avoid cuts from

the glass.

You can use the wireless remote control

system with the new transmitter. Contact

your Toyota dealer for detailed information.
