NOTICE
Pre−trip safety check
It is a good idea to do a safety check
before starting out on a trip. A few min-
utes of checking can help ensure safe and
pleasant driving. Just a basic familiarity
with your vehicle is required and a careful
eye! Or, if you would like, your Toyota
dealer will be pleased to make this check
for you at a nominal cost.
CAUTION
If you make this check in an enclosed
garage, make sure there is adequate
ventilation. Engine exhaust is poison-
ous.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

Tires. Check the pressure with a gauge
and look carefully for cuts, damage, or
excessive wear.
Wheel nuts. Make sure no nuts are mis-
sing or loose.
Fluid leaks. After the vehicle has been
parked for a while, check underneath for
leaking fuel, oil, water, or fluid. (Water
dripping from the air conditioning after use
is normal.)
