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
from sliding forward during braking,
do not stack anything behind the
front seats higher than the seat-
backs (access cab models). Keep
pads
luggage or packages low, as close
to the floor as possible.
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.
