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:
Put luggage or cargo in the luggage
D
compartment when at all possible. Be
sure all items are secured in place.
Be careful to keep the vehicle bal-
D
anced. Locating the weight as far for-
ward as possible helps maintain bal-
ance.
For better fuel economy, do not carry
D
unneeded weight.
CAUTION
To prevent luggage
D
from sliding forward during braking,
do not stack anything in the lug-
gage compartment higher than the
seatbacks. Keep luggage or pack-
pads
ages low, as close to the floor as
possible.
Never allow anyone to ride in the
D
luggage compartment. It is not de-
signed for passengers. They should
ride in their seats with their seat
belts properly fastened. Otherwise,
they are much more likely to suffer
serious bodily injury, in the event
of sudden braking or a collision.

Do not place anything on the lug-
D
gage cover. Such items may be
thrown about and possibly injure
people in the vehicle during sudden
braking or an accident. Secure all
items in a safe place.
Do not drive with objects left on
D
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.
or packages
Do not load the vehicle beyond the
vehicle capacity weight specified on
page 308 in Section 8.
