2007 FJ CRUISER from Jan. ’06 Prod. (OM35857U)

CAUTION

Before driving off, make sure that
the parking brake is fully released
and the parking brake reminder
light is off.

Do not leave your vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is running.

Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving. It can cause
dangerous overheating, needless
wear, and poor fuel economy.

To drive down a long or steep hill,
reduce your speed and downshift.
Remember, if you ride the brakes
excessively, they may overheat and
not work properly.

Be careful when accelerating, up-
shifting, downshifting or braking on
a slippery surface. Sudden accelera-
tion or engine braking, could cause
the vehicle to skid or spin.

Do not drive in excess of the speed
limit. Even if the legal speed limit
permits it, do not drive over 140
km/h (85 mph) unless your vehicle
has high−speed capability tires.
Driving over 140 km/h (85 mph) may
result in tire failure, loss of control
and possible injury. Be sure to con-
sult a tire dealer to determine
whether the tires on your vehicle
are high−speed capability tires or
not before driving at such speeds.

Do not continue normal driving
when the brakes are wet. If they are
wet, your vehicle will require a
longer stopping distance, and it
may pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Also, the park-
ing brake will not hold the vehicle
securely.

When driving your vehicle off−road, please
observe the following precautions to en-
sure your driving enjoyment and to help
prevent the closure of areas to off−road
vehicles.

a. Drive your vehicle only in areas where

off−road vehicles are permitted to trav-
el.

b. Respect private property. Get owner’s

permission before entering private prop-
erty.

c. Do not enter areas that are closed.

Honor gates, barriers and signs that re-
strict travel.

d. Stay on established roads. When condi-

tions are wet, driving techniques should
be changed or travel delayed to pre-
vent damage to roads.

For owners in U.S. mainland, Hawaii and
Puerto Rico:

To obtain additional information pertaining
to driving your vehicle off−road, consult
the following organizations.

State and Local Parks and Recreation
Departments
