Brake pad wear limit indicators
The brake pad wear limit indicators on
your disc brakes give a warning noise
when the brake pads are worn to where
replacement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise
while
driving,
have
the
brake
checked and replaced by
your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. Expensive ro-
tor damage can result if the pads are not
replaced when necessary.

Luggage stowage precautions
When stowing luggage or cargo in the
vehicle, observe the following:
D
Put luggage or cargo in the rear deck
when at all possible. Be sure all items
are secured in place.
D
Be careful to keep the vehicle bal-
anced. Locating the weight as far for-
ward as possible helps maintain bal-
ance.
D
For better fuel economy, do not carry
unneeded weight.
CAUTION
D
To prevent
luggage
or
from sliding forward during braking,
do not stack anything behind the
front seats higher than the seat-
backs
(Xtra–cab and double cab
pads
models). Keep luggage or packages
low, as close to the floor as pos-
sible.
D
Never allow anyone to ride in the
rear deck. It is not designed for
passengers.
They should
their seats with their seat belts
properly fastened. Otherwise, they
are much more likely to suffer seri-
ous bodily injury, in the event of
sudden braking or a collision.

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.
NOTICE
Do not load the vehicle beyond the
cargo weight specified in Section 8.
