Brake Pad Wear Indicators; Luggage Stowage Precautions - Toyota LAND CRUISER 78 series Owner's Manual

Brake pad wear indicators
10310-01
The brake pad wear indicators on your
disc brakes give a warning noise when
the brake pads are worn to where re-
placement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise
while driving, have the brake pads
checked and replaced by your nearest
Toyota dealer immediately.
Avoid continuous driving with the warning
noise.
Continuous driving without replacing the
brake pads will cause expensive rotor
damage and increasing brake pedal effort
to get the same stopping distance.

Luggage stowage precautions
When stowing luggage or cargo in the
vehicle, observe the following:
• Put luggage or cargo in the luggage
compartment or rear deck when at all
possible. Be sure all items are secured
in place.
• Be careful to keep the vehicle bal-
anced. Locating the weight as far for-
ward as possible helps maintain bal-
ance.
• For better fuel economy, do not carry
unneeded weight.
&
CAUTION
• To prevent luggage or packages
from sliding forward during braking,
do not stack anything in the lug-
gage compartment higher than the
seatbacks. Keep luggage or pack-
ages low, as close to the floor as
possible.
• Never allow anyone to ride in the
luggage compartment or rear deck
area other than on the seats. It is
not designed for passengers. They
could be injured in sudden braking
or a collision.
• Do not drive with objects left on
top of the instrument panel. They
may interfere with the driver's field
of view. Or they may move during
sharp vehicle acceleration or turn-
ing, and impair the driver's control
of the vehicle. In an accident they
may injure the vehicle occupants.
