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 pads
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.
When stowing cargo and luggage in the
vehicle, observe the following:
D
Put cargo and luggage 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
Double − cab models: To prevent car-
go and luggage from sliding for-
ward during braking, do not stack
anything behind the front seats
higher than the seatbacks. Keep
cargo and luggage low, as close to
the floor as possible.
D
Never allow anyone to ride in the
rear deck area other than on the
seats. It is not designed for passen-
gers. They should ride in their
seats with their seat belts properly
fastened. Otherwise, they are much
more likely to suffer death or seri-
ous bodily injury, in the event of
sudden braking or a collision.
D
Do not drive with objects left on
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.
