FUEL TYPE If your engine knocks... Your vehicle does not need an elaborate break- in. But following a few simple tips for the first 1600 km (1000 miles) can add to the future economy and long life of your vehicle: Your new vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline. If you detect heavy knocking even when using the recommended fuel, or if you hear steady knocking while holding a steady speed on level roads, consult your Toyota dealer. Do not drive over 88 km/h (55 mph). Run the engine at moderate speed between 2000 and 4000 rpm. Avoid full- throttle starts. Try to avoid hard stops during the first 300 km (200 miles). Do not drive slowly with the manual transmission in a high gear. Do not drive for a long time at any single speed, either fast or slow. Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500 miles). To help prevent gas station mix- ups, your Toyota has a new smaller fuel tank opening. The special nozzle on pumps with unleaded fuel will fit it, but the larger standard nozzle on pumps with leaded gas will not. At a minimum, the gasoline you use should meet specifications of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB 3.5- M93 in Canada. NOTICE Do not use leaded gasoline. Use of leaded gasoline will cause the threeway catalytic converter to lose its effectiveness and the emission control system to function improperly. Also, this can increase maintenance costs. GASOLINES ADDITIVES CONTAINING DETERGENT Toyota recommends use of gasolines that contain detergent additives to avoid build- up of engine deposits. For further details, ask your Toyota dealer or a local gasoline retailer. IMPROVED GASOLINES Select Octane Rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. The American Automobile Manufacturers Association (AAMA) has developed a specification of improved gasolines. The AAMA specification offers optimal fuel information for better vehicle performance and better protection of your engine. Use of unleaded fuel with an octane number or rating lower than stated above will cause persistent heavy knocking. If severe, this will lead to engine damage. Toyota recommends the use of gasolines that meet the AAMA specification, if available, for improved driveability and emission control system. OCTANE NUMBER 144 However, now and then, you may notice light knocking for a short time while accelerating or driving up hills. This is no need of concern. 2000 Corolla(U) GASOLINES CONTAINING MTBE Gasolines that contain MTBE (Methyl Tertiary- Butyl Ether) are available in the market. If you use a gasoline mixed with MTBE, make certain that it does not contain more than 15% of MTBE. GASOLINES CONTAINING MMT Some gasolines contain an octane- enhancing additive called MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl). Toyota does not recommend the use of gasolines that contain MMT. If fuels containing MMT are used, your emission control system may be adversely affected. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this happens, contact your Toyota dealer for service. GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL If you use gasohol in your Toyota, be sure that it is unleaded, has an octane rating no lower than 87 and does not contain more than 10% ethanol. Gasohol is a mixture of gasoline and ethanol. Toyota do not recommend the use of gasolines containing methanol. If you use gasoline containing methanol, use only gasoline meeting the requirements above and also containing less than 5% methanol with cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. FUEL TANK CAPACITY 50 L (13.2 gal., 11.0 lmp. gal.) GASOLINES QUALITY In a very few cases, you may experience driveability problems caused by the particular gasoline that you are using. If you continue to have unacceptable driveability, try changing gasoline brands. If that does not rectify your problem, then consult your Toyota dealer. NOTICE Do not use gasohol other than stated above. It will cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems. If driveability problems occur (poor hot starting, vaporizing, engine knock, etc.), discontinue the use. Take care not to spill gasohol during refueling. Gasohol may cause paint damage. 145 2000 Corolla(U) Fuel pump shut off system Operation in foreign countries The fuel pump shut off system stops supplying fuel to the engine to minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or an airbag inflates upon collision. To restart the engine after the fuel pump shut off system activates, turn the ignition switch to “ACC” or “LOCK” once and start it. If you plan to drive your Toyota in another country... Three- way catalytic converter First, comply with the vehicle registration laws. Second, confirm the availability of the correct fuel (unleaded and minimum octane number). CAUTION Inspect the ground under the vehicle before restarting the engine. If you find that liquid has leaked onto the ground, it is the fuel system has been damaged and it is in need of repair. In this case, do not restart the engine. The three- way catalytic converter is an emission control device installed in the exhaust system. The purpose is to reduce pollutants in the exhaust gas. CAUTION Keep people and combustible materials away from the exhaust pipe while the engine is running. The exhaust gas is very hot. Do not drive, idle or park your vehicle over anything that might burn easily such as grass, leaves, paper or rags. 146 2000 Corolla(U) Engine exhaust cautions NOTICE A large amount of unburned gases flowing into the three- way catalytic converter may cause it to overheat and create a fire hazard. To prevent this and other damage, observe the following precautions: Use only unleaded gasoline. Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level; running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, creating an excessive load on the threeway catalytic converter. Do not allow the engine to run at idle speed for more than 20 minutes. Avoid racing the engine. Do not push- start or pull- start your vehicle. Do not turn off the ignition while the vehicle is moving. Keep your engine in good running order. Malfunctions in the engine electrical system, electronic ignition system/distributor ignition system or fuel system could cause an extremely high three- way catalytic converter temperature. CAUTION Avoid inhaling the engine exhaust. It contains carbon monoxide, which is a colorless and odorless gas. It can cause unconsciousness or even death. If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, take your vehicle in for a check- up as soon as possible. Remember, your Toyota dealer knows your vehicle and its three- way catalytic converter system best. Make sure the exhaust system has To ensure that the three- way catalytic converter and the entire emission control system operate properly, your vehicle must receive the periodic inspections required by the Toyota Maintenance Schedule. For scheduled maintenance information, refer to the separate “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”. Do not run the engine in a garage no holes or loose connections. The system should be checked from time to time. If you hit something, or notice a change in the sound of the exhaust, have the system checked immediately. or enclosed area except for the time needed to drive the vehicle in or out. The exhaust gases cannot escape, making this a particularly dangerous situation. Do not remain for a long time in a parked vehicle with the engine running. If it is unavoidable, however, do so only in an unconfined area and adjust the heating or cooling system to force outside air into the vehicle. 147 2000 Corolla(U) Facts about engine oil consumption Keep the trunk lid closed while driving. An open or unsealed trunk lid may cause exhaust gases to be drawn into the vehicle. To allow proper operation of your vehicle’s ventilation system, keep the inlet grilles in front of the windshield clear of snow, leaves, or other obstructions. If you smell exhaust fumes in the vehicle, drive with the windows open and the trunk lid closed. Have the cause immediately located and corrected. FUNCTIONS OF ENGINE OIL Engine oil has the primary functions of lubricating and cooling the inside of the engine, and plays a major role in maintaining the engine in proper working order. ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION It is normal that an engine should consume some engine oil during normal engine operation. The causes of oil consumption in a normal engine are as follows. Oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated when the vehicle is decelerating sucks some of this oil into the combustion chamber. This oil as well as some part of the oil film left on the cylinder wall is burned by the high temperature combustion gases during the combustion process. Oil is also used to lubricate the stems of the intake valves. Some of this oil is sucked into the combustion chamber together with the intake air and is burned along with the fuel. High temperature exhaust gases also burn the oil used to lubricate the exhaust valve stems. The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the viscosity of the oil, the quality of the oil and the conditions the vehicle is driven under. More oil is consumed by high- speed driving and frequent acceleration and deceleration. A new engine consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls have not become conditioned. When judging the amount of oil consumption, note that the oil may become diluted and make it difficult to judge the true level accurately. As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a normal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km (600 miles) or more. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has not changed. 148 2000 Corolla(U) Iridium- tipped spark plugs The diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle is then driven at high speeds, as on an express way, making it appear that oil is excessively consumed after driving at high speeds. The tandem master cylinder brake system is a hydraulic system with two separate sub- systems. If either sub- system should fail, the other will still work. However, the pedal will be harder to press, and your stopping distance will be longer. Also, the brake system warning light may come on. IMPORTANCE OF ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK One of the most important points in proper vehicle maintenance is to keep the engine oil at the optimum level so that oil function will not be impaired. Therefore, it is essential that the oil level be checked regularly. Toyota recommends that the oil level be checked every time you refuel the vehicle. Your engine is fitted with iridium- tipped spark plugs. NOTICE NOTICE Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine trouble due to insufficient oil. Use only iridium- tipped spark plugs and do not adjust gaps for your engine performance and smooth driveability. For detailed information on oil level check, see “Checking the engine oil level” in Section 7- 2. Brake system CAUTION Do not drive your vehicle with only a single brake system. Have your brakes fixed immediately. BRAKE BOOSTER The brake booster uses engine vacuum to power- assist the brakes. If the engine should quit while you are driving, you can bring the vehicle to a stop with normal pedal pressure. There is enough reserved vacuum for one or two stops—but no more! 149 2000 Corolla(U) CAUTION Effective way to press the ABS brake pedal: Do not pump the brake pedal if the When the anti- lock brake system function is in action, just hold the brake pedal down more firmly. Especially, in a panic stop, you need to keep it depressed more firmly, and do not pump the brake. Pumping the brake pedal makes the stopping distance longer. engine stalls. Each push on the pedal uses up your reserved vacuum. Even if the power assist is completely lost, the brakes will still work. But you will have to push the pedal hard, much harder than normal. And your braking distance will be longer. ANTI- LOCK BRAKE “ABS” warning light) SYSTEM (with The anti- lock brake system is designed to help prevent lock- up of the wheels during a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. This assists in providing stability and steering performance of the vehicle under these circumstances. 150 The anti- lock brake system becomes operative after the vehicle has accelerated to a speed in excess of approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when the vehicle decelerates to a speed below approximately 5 km/h (3 mph). Depressing the brake pedal on slippery road surfaces such as on the manhole cover, the steel plate under the construction, joints in the bridge, etc. on a rainy day tends to activate the anti- lock brake system. You may hear a click or motor sound in the engine compartment for a few seconds when the engine is started or just after the vehicle is started. This means that the anti- lock brake system is in the self check mode, and does not indicate a malfunction. When the anti- lock brake system is activated, the following conditions may occur, however, do not indicate a malfunction of the system: You may hear the anti- lock brake system operating and feel the brake pedal pulsating and the vibrations of the vehicle body and steering wheel. You may also hear the motor sound in the engine compartment even after the vehicle is stopped. At the end of the anti- lock brake system activation, the brake pedal may move a little to the forward. 2000 Corolla(U) CAUTION Driving on rough, gravel or snowcovered roads. Do not overestimate the anti- lock brake system: Although the anti- lock brake system assists in providing vehicle control, it is still important to drive with all due care and maintain a moderate speed and safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, because there are limits to the vehicle stability and effectiveness of steering wheel operation even with the antilock brake system on. If tires grip performance exceeds its capability, or if hydroplaning occurs during high speed driving in the rain, the anti- lock brake system does not provide vehicle control. Driving with tire chains installed. Driving over the steps such as the joints on the road. Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has other differences in surface height. Install all 4 tires of specified size at designated pressure: The anti- lock brake system detects vehicle speeds using the speed sensors for respective wheels’ turning speeds. The use of tires other than specified may fail to detect the accurate turning speed, resulting in a longer stopping distance. Type A Anti- lock brake system is not designed to shorten the stopping distance: Always drive at the moderate speed and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Compared with vehicles not fitted with an anti- lock brake system, your vehicle may require a longer stopping distance in the following cases: Type B 151 2000 Corolla(U) Brake pad wear limit indicators “ABS” warning light The light comes on with the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position. If the antilock brake system works properly, the light goes out after a few seconds. Thereafter, if the system malfunctions, the light comes on. If the light lit during driving goes out and does not come on again, it is a normal operation. When the “ABS” warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the anti- lock brake system does not operate, but the brake system still operates conventionally. When the “ABS” warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the anti- lock brake system does not operate so that the wheels could lock up during a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. If the following conditions occur, this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by the warning light system. Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle. The light does not come on with the ignition key turned to “ON”, or remains on. The light comes on while driving. 152 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 rotor damage can result if the pads are not replaced when necessary. 2000 Corolla(U) Your Toyota’s identification— —Vehicle identification number Luggage stowage precautions When stowing luggage or cargo in the vehicle, observe the following: Put luggage or cargo in the trunk when at all possible. Be sure all items are secured in place. Be careful to keep the vehicle balanced. Locating the weight as far forward as possible helps maintain balance. For better fuel economy, do not carry unneeded weight. CAUTION To prevent luggage or packages from sliding forward during do not stack anything in larged trunk. Keep luggage ages low, as close to the possible. braking, the enor packfloor as Never allow anyone to ride in the Do not place anything on the package tray behind the rear seatback. Such items may be thrown about and possibly injure people in the vehicle during sudden braking or an accident. 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 turning, 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 vehicle capacity weight specified in Section 8. The vehicle identification number (VIN) is the legal identifier for your vehicle. This number is on the left top of the instrument panel, and can be seen through the windshield from outside. This is the primary identification number for your Toyota. It is used in registering the ownership of your vehicle. enlarged trunk. It is not designed 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. 153 2000 Corolla(U) —Engine number Theft prevention labels (except for Canada) Your new vehicle carries theft prevention labels which are approximately 56 mm (2.20 in.) by 16 mm (0.63 in.). The purpose of these labels is to reduce the incidence of vehicle thefts by facilitating the tracing and recovery of parts from stolen vehicles. The label is designed so that once it is applied to a surface, any attempt to remove it will result in destroying the integrity of the label. Transferring these labels intact from one part to another, will be impossible. NOTICE The vehicle identification number (VIN) is also on the Certification Label. 154 The engine number is stamped on the engine block as shown. You should not attempt to remove the theft prevention labels as it may violate certain state or federal laws. 2000 Corolla(U) Suspension and chassis Types of tires CAUTION Determine what kind of tires your vehicle is originally equipped with. Do not modify the suspension/chassis with lift kits, spacers, springs, etc. It can cause dangerous vehicle handling characteristics, resulting in loss of control. Summer tires are high- speed capability tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. 1. Summer tires Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow- covered or icy roads. For driving on snow- covered or icy roads, we recommend using snow tires. If installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires. CAUTION Do not mix summer and all season tires on your vehicle as this can cause dangerous handling characteristics, resulting in loss of control. Do not use tires other than the manufacturer’s designated tires, and do not mix tires or wheels of the sizes different from the originally equipped tires and wheels. 2. All season tires All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use all year round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance compared with summer tires in highway driving. 155 2000 Corolla(U) 156 2000 Corolla(U) Important information about this manual Safety and vehicle damage warnings Safety symbol In this manual, you will see CAUTION and NOTICE warnings.

Check the area around the vehicle before entering it. 2. Adjust seat position, seatback angle, head restraint height and steering wheel angle. 3. Adjust the inside and outside rear view mirrors. 4. Lock all doors. 5. Fasten seat belts. How to start the engine— (a) Before cranking 1. Apply the parking brake firmly. 2. Turn off unnecessary lights and accessories. 3. Manual transmission: Press the clutch pedal to the floor and shift the transmission into neutral. Hold the clutch pedal to the floor until the engine is started. A starter safety device will prevent the starter from operating if the clutch pedal is not fully depressed. Automatic transmission: Put the selector lever in “P”. If you need to restart the engine while the vehicle is moving, put the selector lever in “N”. A starter safety device will prevent the starter from operating if the selector lever is in any drive position. 4. Automatic transmission only: Depress the brake pedal and hold it to the floor until driving off. (b) Starting the engine Before starting the engine, be sure to follow the instructions in “(a) Before cranking”. Normal starting procedure The multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system in your engine automatically controls the proper air- fuel mixture for starting. You can start a cold or hot engine as follows: 1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, crank the engine by turning the key to “START”. Release it when the engine starts. 2. After the engine runs for about 10 seconds, you are ready to drive. If the weather is below freezing, let the engine warm up for a few minutes before driving. If the engine stalls... Simply restart it, using the correct procedure given in normal starting. If the engine will not start... See “If your vehicle will not start” in Section 4. 158 2000 Corolla(U) NOTICE Do not crank for more than 30 seconds at a time. This may overheat the starter and wiring systems. Do not race a cold engine. If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have the engine checked immediately. Tips for driving in various conditions Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. This will allow you much better control. Drive slowly onto curbs and, if possible, at a right angle. Avoid driving onto high, sharp- edged objects and other road hazards. Failure to do so can lead to severe tire damage resulting in tire bursts. When parking on a hill, turn the front wheels until they touch the curb so that the vehicle will not roll. Apply the parking brake, and place the transmission in “P” (automatic) or in first or reverse (manual). If necessary, block the wheels. Washing your vehicle or driving through deep water may get the brakes wet. To see whether they are wet, check that there is no traffic near you, and then press the pedal lightly. If you do not feel a normal braking force, the brakes are probably wet. To dry them, drive the vehicle cautiously while lightly pressing the brake pedal with the parking brake applied. If they still do not work safely, pull to the side of the road and call a Toyota dealer for assistance. 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 unattended 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, upshifting, downshifting or braking on a slippery surface. Sudden acceleration or engine braking could cause the vehicle to spin or skid. 159 2000 Corolla(U) Winter driving tips 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 consult 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 parking brake will not hold the vehicle securely. Make sure you have a proper freeze protection of engine coolant. Make sure the engine oil viscosity is suitable for the cold weather. Your coolant must contain ethylene- glycol type coolant for a proper corrosion protection of aluminum components. Use “TOYOTA Long Life Coolant” or equivalent. See Section 7- 2 for recommended viscosity. Leaving a heavy summer oil in your vehicle during winter months may cause harder starting. If you are not sure about which oil to use, call your Toyota dealer—he will be pleased to help. See Section 7- 2 for details about coolant type selection. Keep the door locks from freezing. NOTICE Do not use alcohol type antifreeze or plain water alone. When it is extremely cold, we recommend to use 60% solution for your Toyota, to provide protection down to about -50C (- 58F). Do not use more than 70% solution for better coolant performance. Check the condition of the battery and cables. Cold temperatures reduce the capacity of any battery, so it must be in top shape to provide enough power for winter starting. Section 7- 3 tells you how to visually inspect the battery. Your Toyota dealer and most service stations will be pleased to check the level of charge. 160 Squirt lock de- icer or glycerine into the locks to keep them from freezing. To open a frozen lock, try heating the key before inserting it. Use a washer fluid containing an antifreeze solution. This product is available at your Toyota dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for how much to mix with water. NOTICE Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute because it may damage your vehicle’s paint. 2000 Corolla(U) Trailer towing Do not use your parking brake when there is a possibility it could freeze. When parking, put the transmission into “P” (automatic) or into first or reverse (manual) and block the rear wheels. Do not use the parking brake, or snow or water accumulated in and around the parking brake mechanism may freeze, making it hard to release. Keep ice and snow from accumulating under the fenders. Ice and snow built up under your fenders can make steering difficult. During bad winter driving, stop and check under the fenders occasionally. Depending on where you are driving, we recommend you carry some emergency equipment. Some of the things you might put in the vehicle are tire chains, window scraper, bag of sand or salt, flares, small shovel, jumper cables, etc. Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger- carrying vehicle. Towing a trailer will have an adverse effect on handling, performance, braking, durability and driving economy (fuel consumption, etc.). Your safety and satisfaction depend on the proper use of correct equipment and cautious driving habits. For your safety and the safety of others, you must not overload your vehicle or trailer. Toyota warranties do not apply to damage or malfunction caused by towing a trailer for commercial purposes. Ask your local Toyota dealer for further details before towing. CAUTION WEIGHT LIMITS Before towing, make sure the total trailer weight, gross vehicle weight, gross axle weight and trailer tongue load are all within the limits. The total trailer weight (trailer weight plus its cargo load) must not exceed 680 kg (1500 lb.). Exceeding this weight is dangerous. The total trailer weight and tongue load can be measured with platform scales found at a highway weighing station, building supply company, trucking company, junk yard, etc. 161 2000 Corolla(U) Trailer hitch assemblies have differ- The load on either the front or rear ent weight capacities established by the hitch manufacturer. Even though the vehicle may be physically capable of towing a higher weight, the operator must determine the maximum weight rating of the particular hitch assembly and never exceed the maximum weight rating specified for the trailer- hitch. Exceeding the maximum weight rating set by the trailer hitch manufacturer can cause an accident resulting in serious personal injuries. axle resulting from distribution of the gross vehicle weight on both axles must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the Certification Label. The gross vehicle weight must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) indicated on the Certification Label. The gross vehicle weight is the sum of weights of the unloaded vehicle, driver, passengers, luggage, hitch and trailer tongue load. It also includes the weight of any special equipment installed on your vehicle. 162 Total trailer weight Tongue load Tongue load 100 = 9 to 11% Total trailer weight The trailer cargo load should be distributed so that the tongue load is 9 to 11% of the total trailer weight, not exceeding the maximum of 68 kg (150 lb.). Never load the trailer with more weight in the back than in the front. About 60% of the trailer load should be in the front half of the trailer and the remaining 40% in the rear. 2000 Corolla(U) A safety chain must always be used HITCHES Use only a hitch which is recommended by the hitch manufacturer and conforms to the total trailer weight requirement. Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer. Lubricate the hitch ball with a light coat of grease. Toyota recommends removing the trailer hitch whenever you are not towing a trailer to reduce the possibility of additional damage caused by the hitch if your vehicle is struck from behind. NOTICE Do not use axle- mounted hitches as they can cause damage to the axle housing, wheel bearings, wheels or tires. Also, never install a hitch which may interfere with the normal function of an Energy Absorbing Bumper, if so equipped. BRAKES AND SAFETY CHAINS Toyota recommends trailers with brakes that conform to any applicable federal and state/provincial regulations. between the towing vehicle and the trailer. Leave sufficient slack in the chain for turns. The chain should cross under the trailer tongue to prevent the tongue from dropping to the ground in case it becomes damaged or separated. For correct safety chain procedures, follow the hitch or trailer manufacturer’s recommendations. CAUTION If the total trailer weight exceeds 453 kg (1000 lb.), trailer brakes are required. Never tap into your vehicle’s hydraulic system as it would lower its braking effectiveness. Never tow a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch ball, there is danger of the trailer wandering over into another lane. TIRES Ensure that your vehicle’s tires are properly inflated. See Section 7- 2 for instructions. The trailer tires should be inflated to the pressure recommended by the trailer manufacturer in respect to the total trailer weight. TRAILER LIGHTS Trailer lights must comply with federal, state/provincial and local regulations. See your local recreational vehicle dealer or rental agency for the correct type of wiring and relays for your trailer. Check for correct operation of the turn signals and stop lights each time you hitch up. Direct splicing may damage your vehicle’s electrical system and cause a malfunction of your lights. BREAK- IN SCHEDULE Toyota recommends that you do not tow a trailer with a new vehicle or a vehicle with any new power train component (engine, transmission, differential, wheel bearing, etc.) for the first 800 km (500 miles) of driving. 163 2000 Corolla(U) MAINTENANCE TRAILER TOWING TIPS If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will When towing a trailer, your vehicle will handle differently than when not towing. The three main causes of vehicletrailer accidents are driver error, excessive speed and improper trailer loading. Keep these in mind when towing: require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load. For this information, please refer to the scheduled maintenance information in the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”. Retighten all fixing bolts of the towing ball and bracket after approximately 1000 km (600 miles) of trailer driving. PRE- TOWING SAFETY CHECK Check that your vehicle remains level when a loaded or unloaded trailer is hitched. Do not drive if the vehicle has an abnormal nose- up or nose- down condition, and check for improper tongue load, overload,worn suspension or other possible causes. Make sure the trailer cargo is securely loaded so that it can not shift. Check that your rear view mirrors conform to any applicable federal, state/ provincial or local regulation. If not, install the rear view mirrors required for towing purpose. 164 Before starting out, check operation of the lights and all vehicle- trailer connections. After driving a short distance, stop and recheck the lights and connections. Before actually towing a trailer, practice turning, stopping and backing with a trailer in an area away from traffic until you learn the feel. Backing with a trailer is difficult and requires practice. Grip the bottom of the steering wheel and move your hand to the left to move the trailer to the left. Move your hand to the right to move the trailer to the right. (This procedure is generally opposite to that when backing without a trailer). Also, just turn the steering wheel a little at a time, avoiding sharp or prolonged turning. Have someone guide you when backing to reduce the risk of an accident. Because stopping distance may be increased, vehicle- to- vehicle distance should be increased when towing a trailer. For each 16 km/h (10 mph) of speed, allow at least one vehicle and trailer length between you and the vehicle ahead. Avoid sudden braking as you may skid, resulting in jackknifing and loss of control. This is especially true on wet or slippery surfaces. Avoid jerky starts or sudden acceleration. If your vehicle has a manual transmission, prevent excessive clutch slippage by keeping engine rpm low and not racing the engine. Always start out in first gear. Avoid jerky steering and sharp turns. The trailer could hit your vehicle in a tight turn. Slow down before making a turn to avoid the necessity of sudden braking. 2000 Corolla(U) Remember that when making a turn, In order to maintain engine braking effi- the trailer wheels will be closer than the vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. Therefore, compensate for this by making a larger than normal turning radius with your vehicle. ciency do not use fifth gear (manual transmission) or overdrive (automatic transmission). Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely affect handling of your vehicle and trailer, causing sway. Pay attention to the rear from time to time to prepare yourself for being passed by large trucks or buses, which may cause your vehicle and trailer to sway. If swaying happens, firmly grip the steering wheel and reduce speed immediately but gradually. Never increase speed. Steer straight ahead. If you make no extreme correction with the steering or brakes, the vehicle and trailer will stabilize. Be careful when passing other vehicles. Passing requires considerable distance. After passing a vehicle, do not forget the length of your trailer and be sure you have plenty of room before changing lanes. Because of the added load of the trailer, your vehicle’s engine may overheat on hot days (at temperatures over 30C [85F]) when going up a long or steep grade with a trailer. If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating, immediately turn off the air conditioning (if in use), pull off the road and stop in a safe spot. Refer to “If your vehicle overheats” in Section 4 of this manual. Always place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Apply the parking brake firmly. Put the transmission in “P” (automatic) or in first or reverse (manual). Avoid parking on a slope with a trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so only after performing the following: 1. Apply the brakes and hold. 2. Have someone place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels. 3. When the wheel blocks are in place, release your brakes slowly until the blocks absorb the load. 4. Apply the parking brake firmly. 5. Shift into first or reverse (manual) or “P” (automatic) and turn off the engine. When restarting out after parking on a slope: 1. With the transmission in “P” position (automatic) or the clutch pedal depressed (manual), start the engine. (With an automatic transmission, be sure to keep the brake pedal depressed.) 2. Shift into gear. 3. Release the parking brake (also foot brake on automatic transmission vehicles) and slowly pull or back away from the wheel blocks. Stop and apply your brakes. 4. Have someone retrieve the blocks. 165 2000 Corolla(U) How to save fuel and make your vehicle last longer, too CAUTION Do not exceed 72 km/h (45 mph) or the posted towing speed limit,whichever is lower. Because instability (swaying) of a towing vehicletrailer combination usually increases as the speed increases, exceeding 72 km/h (45 mph) may cause loss of control. Slow down and downshift before descending steep or long downhill grades. Do not make sudden downshifts. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat and result in reduced braking efficiency. Getting more kilometers/mileage from a liter/gallon of fuel is easy—just take it easy. It will help make your vehicle last longer, too. Here are some specific tips on how to save money on both fuel and repairs: Keep your tires inflated at the correct pressure. Underinflation causes tire wear and wastes fuel. See Section 7- 2 for instructions. Do not carry unneeded weight in your vehicle. Excess weight puts a heavier load on the engine, causing greater fuel consumption. Avoid lengthy warm- up idling. Once the engine is running smoothly, begin driving—but gently. Remember, however, that on cold winter days this may take a little longer. Keep the automatic transmission overdrive turned on when engine braking is not required. Driving with the overdrive off will reduce the fuel economy. (For details, see “Automatic transmission” in Section 1- 6.) Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Avoid jackrabbit starts. Get into high gear as quickly as possible. 166 Avoid long engine idling. If you have a long wait and you are not in traffic, it is better to turn off the engine and start again later. Avoid engine lug or overrevving. Use a gear position suitable for the road on which you are travelling. Avoid continuous speeding up and slowing down. wastes fuel. Stop- and- go driving Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking. Maintain a steady pace. Try to time the traffic signals so you only need to stop as little as possible or take advantage of through streets to avoid traffic lights. Keep a proper distance from other vehicles to avoid sudden braking. This will also reduce wear on your brakes. Avoid heavy traffic or traffic jams whenever possible. Do not rest your foot on the clutch or brake pedal. This causes premature wear, overheating and poor fuel economy. Maintain a moderate speed on highways. The faster you drive,the greater the fuel consumption. By reducing your speed, you will cut down on fuel consumption. 2000 Corolla(U) Keep the front wheels in proper alignment. Avoid hitting the curb and slow down on rough roads. Improper alignment not only causes faster tire wear but also puts an extra load on the engine, which, in turn, wastes fuel. Keep the bottom of your vehicle free from mud, etc. This not only lessens weight but also helps prevent corrosion. CAUTION Never turn off the engine to coast down hills. Your power steering and brake booster will not function without the engine running. Also, the emission control system operates properly only when the engine is running. Keep your vehicle tuned- up and in top shape. A dirty air cleaner, improper valve clearance, dirty plugs, dirty oil and grease,brakes not adjusted, etc. all lower engine performance and contribute to poor fuel economy. For longer life of all parts and lower operating costs, keep all maintenance work on schedule, and if you often drive under severe conditions, see that your vehicle receives more frequent maintenance.

(b) Starting a flooded engine checks, make sure correct starting proto start the engine” you have sufficient If the engine turns over at its normal speed but will not start— If the engine is not turning over or is turning over too slowly— 2. If the engine does not start, check that all the push- on connectors are tight. (For example, connectors at the spark plugs, ignition coil and/or distributor) 1. Check that the battery terminals are tight and clean. 2. If the battery terminals are O.K., switch on the interior light. 3. If the light is out, dim or goes out when the starter is cranked, the battery is discharged. You may try jump starting. See “(c) Jump starting” for further instructions. If the light is O.K., but the engine still will not start, it needs adjustment or repair. Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop. NOTICE Do not pull- or push- start the vehicle. It may damage the vehicle or cause a collision when the engine starts. Also the three- way catalytic converter may overheat and become a fire hazard. 170 1. Turn the ignition key to “ACC” or “LOCK” and try starting the engine again. 3. If the connectors are O.K., the engine may be flooded because of repeated cranking. See “(b) Starting a flooded engine” for further instructions. If the engine will not start, your engine may be flooded because of repeated cranking. If this happens, turn the key to “START” with the accelerator pedal held down. Keep the key and accelerator pedal in this way for 15 seconds and release them. Then try starting the engine with your foot off the accelerator pedal. If the engine does not start after 15 seconds of cranking, release the key, wait a few minutes and try again. If the engine still will not start, it needs adjustment or repair. Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance. NOTICE Do not crank for more than 30 seconds at a time. This may overheat the starter and wiring systems. 2000 Corolla(U) (c) Jump starting To avoid serious personal injury and damage to your vehicle which might result from battery explosion, acid burns, electrical burns, or damaged electronic components, these instructions must be followed precisely. If you are unsure about how to follow this procedure, we strongly recommend that you seek the help of a competent mechanic or towing service. CAUTION Batteries contain sulfuric acid which is poisonous and corrosive. Wear protective safety glasses when jump starting, and avoid spilling acid on your skin, clothing, or vehicle. The gas normally produced by a battery will explode if a flame or spark is brought near. Use only standardized jumper cables and do not smoke or light a match while jump starting. NOTICE The battery used for boosting must be 12 V. Do not jump start unless you are sure that the booster battery is correct. JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE 1. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, make sure the vehicles are not touching. Turn off all unnecessary lights and accessories. 2. If required, remove all the vent plugs from the booster and discharged batteries. Lay a cloth over the open vents on the batteries. (This helps reduce the explosion hazard, personal injuries and burns.) 3. If the engine in the vehicle with the booster battery is not running, start it and let it run for a few minutes. During jump starting, run the engine at about 2000 rpm with the accelerator pedal lightly depressed. If you should accidentally get acid on yourself or in your eyes, remove any contaminated clothing and flush the affected area with water immediately. Then get immediate medical attention. If possible, continue to apply water with a sponge or cloth while en route to the medical office. 171 2000 Corolla(U) Discharged battery Jumper cable Booster battery Positive terminal (“+” mark) Jumper cable Discharged battery Positive terminal (“+” mark) 4. Make the cable connections in the order a, b, c, d. a. Connect the clamp of the positive (red) jumper cable to the positive ( ) terminal on the discharged battery. b. Connect the clamp at the other end of the positive (red) jumper cable to the positive ( ) terminal on the booster battery. 172 Negative terminal (“- ” mark) Booster battery c. Connect the clamp of the negative (black) jumper cable to the negative (- ) terminal on the booster battery. d. Connect the clamp at the other end of the negative (black) jumper cable to a solid, stationary, unpainted, metallic point of the vehicle with the discharged battery. The recommended connecting point is shown in the following illustration: Connecting point Do not connect the cable to or near any part that moves when the engine is cranked. CAUTION When making the connections, to avoid serious injury, do not lean over the battery or accidentally let the jumper cables or clamps touch anything except the correct battery terminals or the ground. 2000 Corolla(U) If your engine stalls while driving 5. Start your engine in the normal way. After starting, run it at about 2000 rpm for several minutes with the accelerator pedal lightly depressed. If your engine stalls while driving... 6. Carefully disconnect the cables in the exact reverse order: the negative cable and then the positive cable. 2. Turn on your emergency flashers. 7. Carefully dispose of the battery cover cloths—they may now contain sulfuric acid. 8. If removed, replace all the battery vent plugs. If the cause of your battery discharging is not apparent (for example, lights left on), you should have it checked. 1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place. 3. Turn the ignition key to “ACC” or “LOCK”, and try starting the engine again. If the engine will not start, see “If your vehicle will not start”. CAUTION If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering will not work so steering and braking will be much harder than usual. If your vehicle overheats If your engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating, if you experience a loss of power, or if you hear a loud knocking or pinging noise, the engine has probably overheated. You should follow this procedure... 1. Pull safely off the road, stop the vehicle and turn on your emergency flashers. Put the transmission in “P” (automatic) or neutral (manual) and apply the parking brake. Turn off the air conditioning if it is being used. 2. If coolant or steam is boiling out of the radiator or reservoir,stop the engine. Wait until the steam subsides before opening the hood. If there is no coolant boiling over or steam, leave the engine running and make sure the electric cooling fan is operating. If it is not, turn the ignition off. CAUTION To help avoid personal injury, keep the hood closed until there is no steam. Escaping steam or coolant is a sign of very high pressure. 173 2000 Corolla(U) If you have a flat tire— 3. Look for obvious coolant leaks from the radiator, hoses,and under the vehicle. However, note that water draining from the air conditioning is normal if it has been used. CAUTION When the engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from the moving fan and engine drive belts. 4. If the coolant is leaking, stop the engine immediately. Call a Toyota dealer for assistance. 5. If there are no obvious leaks, check the coolant reservoir. If it is dry, add coolant to the reservoir while the engine is running. Fill it about half full. CAUTION Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Serious injury could result from scalding hot fluid and steam blown out under pressure. 174 6. After the engine coolant temperature has cooled to normal, again check the coolant level in the reservoir. If necessary, bring it up to half full again. Serious coolant loss indicates a leak in the system. You should have it checked as soon as possible at your Toyota dealer. 1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place well away from the traffic. Avoid stopping on the center divider of a highway. Park on a level spot with firm ground. 2. Stop the engine and emergency flashers. turn on your 3. Firmly set the parking brake and put the transmission in “P” (automatic) or reverse (manual). 4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle on the side away from traffic. 5. Read the following instructions thoroughly. CAUTION When jacking, be sure to observe the following to reduce the possibility of personal injury: Follow jacking instructions. 2000 Corolla(U) Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle supported by the jack. Personal injury may occur. Do not start or run the engine while Use the jack only for lifting your vehicle during wheel changing. Do not raise the vehicle with someone in the vehicle. your vehicle is supported by the jack. When raising the vehicle, do not Stop the vehicle on a level firm Raise the vehicle only high enough ground, firmly set the parking brake and put the transmission in “P” (automatic) or reverse (manual). Block the wheel diagonally opposite to the one being changed if necessary. Make sure to set the jack properly in the jack point. Raising the vehicle with jack improperly positioned will damage the vehicle or may allow the vehicle to fall off the jack and cause personal injury. Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is supported by the jack alone. put an object on or under the jack. to remove and change the tire. NOTICE Do not continue driving with a deflated tire. Driving even a short distance can damage a tire beyond repair. Compact spare tire The compact spare tire is designed for temporary emergency use only. The compact spare tire is identified by the distinctive wording “TEMPORARY USE ONLY” molded into the side wall of the tire. The standard tire should be repaired and replaced as soon as possible. The compact spare tire saves space in your luggage compartment, and its lighter weight helps to improve fuel economy and permits easier installation in case of a flat tire. 175 2000 Corolla(U) —Required tools and spare tire The compact spare tire can be used many times, if necessary. It has tread life of up to 4800 km (3000 miles) depending on road conditions and your driving habits. When tread wear indicators appear on the tire, replace the tire. See also the tire section in Section 7- 2 for details on the tread wear indicators and other service information. NOTICE Your ground clearance is reduced when the compact spare tire is installed so avoid driving over obstacles and drive slowly on rough, unpaved roads and speed bumps. Also, do not attempt to go through an automatic car wash as the vehicle may get caught, resulting in damage. CAUTION The compact spare tire was designed especially for your Toyota. Do not use it on any other vehicle. Vehicles with compact spare tire Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) when driving spare tire. with the compact Avoid sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration and sharp turns with the compact spare tire.

Spare tire Jack handle Jack Tool bag To prepare yourself for an emergency, you should familiarize yourself with the use of the jack, each of the tools and their storage locations. Turn the jack joint by hand. To remove the spare tire: To remove: Turn the joint in direction 1 until the jack is free. To store: Turn the joint in direction 2 until the jack is firmly secured to prevent it flying forward during a collision or sudden braking. 1. Raise the luggage compartment floor. 2. On vehicles with compact spare tire, take the tool holder with tools out. 3. Loosen the bolt with spacer and remove it. Then take the spare tire out of the vehicle. When storing the spare tire, put it in place with the outer side of the wheel facing up. Then secure the tire by repeating the above removal steps in reverse order to prevent it from flying forward during a collision or sudden braking. 177 2000 Corolla(U) —Blocking the wheel —Removing wheel ornament 3. Remove the wheel ornament. Pry off the wheel ornament, using the beveled end of the wheel nut wrench as shown. CAUTION Do not try to pull off the ornament by hand. Take due care in handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury. 2. Block the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire to keep the vehicle from rolling when it is jacked up. Type A When blocking the wheel, place a wheel block from the front for the front wheels or from the rear for the rear wheels. Type B 178 2000 Corolla(U) —Loosening wheel nuts —Positioning the jack —Raising your vehicle 4. Loosen all the wheel nuts. 5. Position the jack at the correct jack point as shown. 6. After making sure that no one is in the vehicle, raise it high enough so that the spare tire can be installed. Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle. Turn the wheel nuts counterclockwise to loosen. To get maximum leverage, fit the wrench to the nut so that the handle is on the right side, as shown above. Grab the wrench near the end of the handle and pull up on the handle. Be careful that the wrench does not slip off the nut. Do not remove the nuts yet—just unscrew them about one- half turn. Make sure the jack is positioned on a level and solid place. Remember you will need more ground clearance when putting on the spare tire than when removing the flat tire. To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle into the jack (it is a loose fit) and turn it clockwise. As the jack touches the vehicle and begins to lift, double- check that it is properly positioned. 179 2000 Corolla(U) —Changing wheels CAUTION Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is supported by the jack alone. 7. Remove the wheel nuts and change tires. Lift the flat tire straight off and put it aside. Roll the spare wheel into position and align the holes in the wheel with the bolts. Then lift up the wheel and get at least the top bolt started through its hole. Wiggle the tire and press it back over the other bolts. 180 Before putting on wheels, remove any corrosion on the mounting surfaces with a wire brush or such. Installation of wheels without good metal- to- metal contact at the mounting surface can cause wheel nuts to loosen and eventually cause a wheel to come off while driving. Therefore after the first 1600 km (1000 miles), check to see that the wheel nuts are tight. 2000 Corolla(U) —Reinstalling wheel nuts —Lowering your vehicle CAUTION When lowering the vehicle, make sure all portions of your body and all other persons around will not be injured as the vehicle is lowered to the ground. 8. Reinstall all the wheel nuts finger tight. 9. Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the wheel nuts. Reinstall the wheel nuts (tapered end inward) and tighten them as much as you can by hand. Press back on the tire and see if you can tighten them more. Turn the jack handle counterclockwise to lower the vehicle. Use only the wheel nut wrench to tighten the nuts. Do not use other tools or any additional leverage other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot. Make sure the wrench is securely engaged over the nut. Tighten each nut a little at a time in the order shown. Repeat the process until all the nuts are tight. 181 2000 Corolla(U) —Reinstalling wheel ornament —After changing wheels 10. Reinstall the wheel ornament. 1. Put the wheel ornament into position. On some models, align the cutout of the wheel ornament with the valve stem as shown. 2. Then tap it firmly with the side or heel of your hand to snap it into place. CAUTION Type A Take due care in handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury. 11. Check the air pressure of the replaced tire. Adjust the air pressure to the specification designed in Section 8. If the pressure is lower, drive slowly to the nearest service station and fill to the correct pressure. Do not forget to reinstall the tire inflation valve cap as dirt and moisture could get into the valve core and possibly cause air leakage. If the cap is missing, have a new one put on as soon as possible. 12. Restow all the tools, jack and flat tire securely. As soon after changing wheels as possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the torque specified in Section 8 with a torque wrench. Have a technician repair the flat tire and replace the spare tire with it. CAUTION Before driving, make sure all the tools, jack and flat tire are securely in place in their storage location to reduce the possibility of personal injury during a collision or sudden braking. Type B 182 2000 Corolla(U) If your vehicle needs to be towed— (a) Towing with wheel lift type truck— —From front —From rear If towing is necessary, we recommend you to have it done by your Toyota dealer or a commercial tow truck service. In consultation with them, have your vehicle towed using either (a) or (b). Only when you cannot receive a towing service from a Toyota dealer or commercial tow truck service, tow your vehicle carefully in accordance with the instructions given in “—Emergency towing” in this section. Proper equipment will help ensure that your vehicle is not damaged while being towed. Commercial operators are generally aware of the state/provincial and local laws pertaining to towing. (b) Using flat bed truck Your vehicle can be damaged if it is towed incorrectly. Although most operators know the correct procedure, it is possible to make a mistake. To avoid damage to your vehicle, make sure the following precautions are observed. If necessary, show this page to the tow truck driver. TOWING PRECAUTIONS: Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by the state/provincial and local laws. The wheels and axle on the ground must be in good condition. If they are damaged, use a towing dolly. (a) Towing with wheel lift type truck From front—Release the parking brake. NOTICE When lifting wheels, take care to ensure adequate ground clearance for towing at the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Otherwise, the bumper and/or underbody of the towed vehicle will be damaged during towing. From rear— Manual transmission: We recommend using a towing dolly under the front wheels. If you do not use a towing dolly, place the ignition key in the “ACC” position and put the transmission in neutral. NOTICE Do not tow with the key removed or in the “LOCK” position when towing from the rear without a towing dolly. The steering lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold the front wheels straight. 183 2000 Corolla(U) —Emergency towing Automatic transmission: (c) Towing with sling type truck Use a towing dolly under the front wheels. NOTICE Never tow a vehicle with an automatic transmission from the rear with the front wheels on the ground, as this may cause serious damage to the transmission. (b) Using flat bed truck (c) Towing with sling type truck NOTICE Do not tow with sling type truck, either from the front or rear. This may cause body damage. 184 If towing is necessary, we recommend you to have it done by your Toyota dealer or a commercial tow truck service. If towing service is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be temporarily towed by a cable or chain secured to the emergency towing eyelet under the vehicle. Use extreme caution when towing vehicles. 2000 Corolla(U) If you cannot shift automatic transmission selector lever NOTICE NOTICE Only use specified towing eyelet; otherwise your vehicle may be damaged. Use only a cable or chain specifically intended for use in towing vehicles. Securely fasten the cable or chain to the towing eyelets provided. A driver must be in the vehicle to steer it and operate the brakes. Towing in this manner may be done only on hard- surfaced roads for a short distance and at low speeds. Also, the wheels, axles, drive train, steering and brakes must all be in good condition. CAUTION Use extreme caution when towing vehicles. Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which would place excessive stress on the emergency towing eyelets and towing cable or chain. The eyelets and towing cable or chain may break and cause serious injury or damage. Before towing, release the parking brake and put the transmission in neutral (manual) or “N” (automatic). The key must be in “ACC” (engine off) or “ON” (engine running). CAUTION If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering will not work so steering and braking will be much harder than usual. If you cannot shift the selector lever out of “P” position to other positions even though the brake pedal is depressed, use the shift lock override button as follows: 1. Turn the ignition key to position. Make sure the brake is on. “LOCK” parking 2. Pry up the cover with a flat- bladed screwdriver or equivalent. 185 2000 Corolla(U) If you lose your keys You can purchase a new key at your Toyota dealer if you can give them the key number. See the suggestion given in “Keys” in Section 1- 2. 3. Insert your finger into the push down the shift lock button. You can shift out position only while pushing ton. hole to override of “P” the but- 4. Shift into “N” position. 5. Insert the cover. 6. Start the engine. For your safety, keep the brake pedal depressed. Be sure to have the system checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. 186 If your keys are locked in the vehicle and you cannot get a duplicate, many Toyota dealers can still open the door for you, using their special tools. If you must break a window to get in, we suggest breaking the smallest side window because it is the least expensive to replace. Be extremely cautious to avoid cuts from the glass. 2000 Corolla(U) SECTION 5 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE Protecting your Toyota from corrosio . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 188 Washing and waxing your Toyota . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 189 Cleaning the interior . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 191 187 2000 Corolla(U) Protecting your Toyota from corrosion Toyota, through its diligent research, design and use of the most advanced technology available, has done its part to help prevent corrosion and has provided you with the finest quality vehicle construction. Now, it is up to you. Proper care of your Toyota can help ensure longterm corrosion prevention. The most common causes of corrosion to your vehicle are: The accumulation of road salt, dirt and moisture in hard- to- reach areas under the vehicle. Chipping of paint, or undercoating caused by minor accidents or by stones and gravel. Care is especially important if you live in particular areas or operate your vehicle under certain environmental conditions: Road salt or dust control chemicals will accelerate corrosion, as will the presence of salt in the air near the seacoast or in areas of industrial pollution. High humidity accelerates corrosion especially when temperatures range just above the freezing point. 188 Wetness or dampness to certain parts High pressure water or steam is effec- of your vehicle for an extended period of time, may cause corrosion even though other parts of the vehicle may be dry. tive for cleaning the vehicle’s underside and wheel housings. Pay particular attention to these areas as it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt. It will do more harm than good to simply wet the mud and debris without removing them. The lower edge of doors, rocker panels and frame members have drain holes which should not be allowed to clog with dirt as trapped water in these areas can cause corrosion. High ambient temperatures can cause corrosion to those components of the vehicle which are prevented from quick- drying due to lack of proper ventilation. The above signifies the necessity to keep your vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean as possible and to repair any damage to paint or protective coatings as soon as possible. To help prevent corrosion on Toyota, follow these guidelines: your Wash your vehicle frequently. It is, of course, necessary to keep your vehicle clean by regular washing, but to prevent corrosion, the following points should be observed: If you drive on salted roads in the winter or if you live near the ocean, you should hose off the undercarriage at least once a month to minimize corrosion. Wash the underside of the vehicle thoroughly when winter is over. See “Washing and waxing your Toyota” for more tips. Check the condition of your vehicle’s paint and trim. If you find any chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately to prevent corrosion from starting. If the chips or scratches have gone through the bare metal, have a qualified body shop make the repair. 2000 Corolla(U) Washing and waxing your Toyota Check the interior of your vehicle. Water and dirt can accumulate under the floor mats and could cause corrosion. Occasionally check under the mats to make sure the area is dry. Be particularly careful when transporting chemicals, cleansers, fertilizers, salt, e tc.; these should be transported in proper containers. If a spill or leak should occur, immediately clean and dry the area. Use mud shields on your wheels. If you drive on salted or gravel roads, mud shields help protect your vehicle. Full- size shields, which come as near to the ground as possible, are the best. We recommend that the fittings and the area where the shields are installed be treated to resist corrosion. Your Toyota dealer will be happy to assist in supplying and installing the shields if they are recommended for your area. Keep your vehicle in a well ventilated garage or a roofed place. Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. If you wash your vehicle in the garage, or if you drive it in covered with water or snow, your garage may be so damp it will cause corrosion. Even if your garage is heated, a wet vehicle can corrode if the ventilation is poor. Washing your Toyota Keep your washing. vehicle clean by regular The following cases may cause weakness to the paint or corrosion to the body and parts. Wash your vehicle as soon as possible. When driving in a coastal area When driving on a road sprinkled with antifreeze When having stuck of coal tar, tree sap, bird droppings and carcass of an insect When driving in the areas where there is a lot of smoke, soot, dust, iron dust and chemical substance When the vehicle becomes remarkably dirty with dust and mud Hand- washing your Toyota Work in the shade and wait until the vehicle body is not hot to the touch. 1. Rinse off loose dirt with a hose. Remove any mud or road salt from the underside of the vehicle or in the wheel wells. 2. Wash with a mild car- wash soap, mixed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use a soft cotton mitt and keep it wet by dipping it frequently into the wash water. Do not rub hard—let the soap and water remove the dirt. Plastic wheel ornaments: The plastic wheel ornaments are damaged easily by organic substances. If any organic substances splashes an ornament, be sure to wash it off with water and check if the ornament is damaged. CAUTION Do not attach the heavily damaged plastic wheel ornament. It may fly off the wheel and cause accidents while the vehicle is moving. CAUTION When cleaning under floor or chassis, be careful not to injure your hands. 189 2000 Corolla(U) Aluminum wheels: Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent. Plastic bumpers: Wash carefully. Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners. The bumper faces are soft. Road tar: Remove with turpentine or cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces. NOTICE Do not use organic substances (gasoline, kerosene, benzine or strong solvents), which may be toxic or cause damage. 3. Rinse thoroughly—dried soap can cause streaking. In hot weather you may need to rinse each section right after you wash it. 4. To prevent water spots, dry the vehicle using a clean soft cotton towel. Do not rub or press hard—you might scratch the paint. 190 Automatic car wash Waxing your Toyota Your vehicle may be washed in an automatic car wash, but remember that the paint can be scratched by some type of brushes, unfiltered washing water, or the washing process itself. Scratching reduces paint durability and gloss, especially on darker colors. The manager of the car wash should be able to advise you whether the process is safe for the paint on your vehicle. Polishing and waxing is recommended to maintain the original beauty of your Toyota’s finish. NOTICE To prevent damage to the antenna, make sure it is retracted before driving your Toyota through an automatic car wash. Once a month or if the vehicle surface does not repel water well, apply wax. 1. Always wash and dry the vehicle before you begin waxing, even if you are using a combined cleaner and wax. 2. Use a good quality polish and wax. If the finish has become extremely weathered, use a car- cleaning polish, followed by a separate wax. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions. Be sure to polish and wax the chrome trim as well as the paint. 3. Wax the vehicle again when water does not bead but remains on the surface in large patches. NOTICE Always remove the plastic bumpers if your vehicle is re- painted and placed in a high heat paint waxing booth. High temperatures could damage the bumpers. 2000 Corolla(U) Cleaning the interior CAUTION Vehicles with side airbags: Be careful not to splash water or spill liquid on the floor. This may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, resulting in serious injury. Do not wash the vehicle floor with water, or allow water to get onto the floor when cleaning the vehicle interior or exterior. Water may get into audio components or other electrical components above or under the floor carpet (or mat) and cause a malfunction; and it may cause body corrosion. Vinyl interior Carpets The vinyl upholstery may be easily cleaned with a mild soap or detergent and water. Use a good foam- type clean the carpets. First vacuum over the upholstery to remove loose dirt. Then, using a sponge or soft cloth, apply the soap solution to the vinyl. After allowing it to soak in for a few minutes to loosen the dirt, remove the dirt and wipe off the soap with a clean damp cloth. If all the dirt do not come off, repeat the procedure. Commercial foamingtype vinyl cleaners are also available which work well. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. NOTICE Do not use solvent, thinner, gasoline or window cleaner on the interior. shampoo to Begin by vacuuming thoroughly to remove as much dirt as possible. Several types of foam cleaners are available; some are in aerosol can sand others are powders or liquids which you mix with water to produce a foam. To shampoo the carpets, use a sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not apply water—the best results are obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as possible. Read the shampoo instructions and follow them closely. Seat belts The seat belts may be cleaned with mild soap and water or with l ukewarm water. Use a cloth or sponge. As you are cleaning, check the belts for excessive wear, fraying, or cuts. NOTICE Do not use dye or bleach on the belts—it may weaken them. Do not use the belts until they become dry. 191 2000 Corolla(U) Windows NOTICE The windows may be cleaned with any household window cleaner. NOTICE When cleaning the inside of the windows, be careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires on the rear window. Air conditioning control panel, car audio, instrument panel, c onsole panel, and switches Use a soft damp cloth for cleaning. Soak a clean soft cloth in water or lukewarm water then lightly w ipe off dirt. Do not use organic substances (solvents, kerosene, alcohol, g asoline, etc.) or alkaline or acidic solutions. These chemicals can cause discoloring, staining or peeling of the surface. If you use cleaners or polishing agents, make sure their ingredients do not include the substances mentioned above. If you use a liquid car freshener, do not spill the liquid onto the vehicle’s interior surfaces. It may contain the ingredients mentioned a bove. Immediately clean any spill using the method mentioned above. If you have any questions about the cleaning of your Toyota, your local Toyota dealer will be pleased to answer them. 192 2000 Corolla(U) SECTION 6 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND CARE Maintenance requirements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 194 General maintenance . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 195 Does your vehicle need repairing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 197 For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to the separate “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”. 193 2000 Corolla(U) Maintenance requirements Your Toyota vehicle has been designed for fewer maintenance requirements with longer service intervals to save both your time and money. However, each regular maintenance, as well as day- to- day care, is more important than ever before to ensure smooth, trouble- free, safe, and economical drivings. It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure the specified maintenance, including general maintenance service, is performed. Note that both the new vehicle and emission control system warranties specify that proper maintenance and care must be performed. See “Owner’s Warranty Information Booklet” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement” for complete warranty information. General maintenance General maintenance items are those dayto- day care practices that are important to your vehicle for proper operation. It is the owner’s responsibility to insure that the general maintenance items are performed regularly. These checks or inspections can be done either by yourself or a qualified technician, or if you prefer, your Toyota dealer will be pleased to do them at a nominal cost. 194 Scheduled maintenance Where to go for service? The scheduled maintenance items listed in the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement” are those required to be serviced at regular intervals. Toyota technicians are well- trained specialists and are kept up to date with the latest service information through technical bulletins, service tips, and in- dealership training programs. They learn to work on Toyotas before they work on your vehicle, rather than while they are working on it. For details of your maintenance schedule, read the separate “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”. It is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance or for the repair of the emission control system be Toyota supplied. You can be confident that your Toyota dealer’s service department performs the best job to meet the maintenance requirements on your vehicle—reliably and economically. The owner may elect to use non- Toyota supplied parts for replacement purposes without invalidating the emission control system warranty. However, use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the effectiveness of the emission control systems. Your copy of the repair order is proof that all required maintenance has been performed for warranty coverage. And if any problems should arise with your vehicle while under warranty, your Toyota dealer will promptly take care of it. Again, be sure to keep a copy of the repair order for any service performed on your Toyota. You may also elect to have maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and system performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual without invalidating this warranty. See “Owner’s Warranty Information Booklet” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement” for complete warranty information. What about do- it- yourself maintenance? Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little mechanical ability and a few basic automotive tools. Simple instructions for how to perform them are presented in Section 7. 2000 Corolla(U) General maintenance If you are a skilled do- it- yourself mechanic, the Toyota service manuals are recommended. Please be aware that do- it- yourself maintenance can affect your warranty coverage. See “Owner’s Warranty Information Booklet” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement” for the details. Listed below are the general maintenance items that should be performed as frequently as specified. In addition to checking the items listed, if you notice any unusual noise, smell or vibration, you should investigate the cause or take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer or a qualified service shop immediately. It is recommended that any problem you notice be brought to the attention of your dealer or the qualified service shop for their advice. Tire surface and wheel nuts Check the tires carefully for cuts, damage or excessive wear. See Section 7- 2 for additional information. When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check the nuts for looseness. Tighten them if necessary. CAUTION Fluid leaks Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, water or other fluid after the vehicle has been parked for a while. If you smell fuel fumes or notice any leak, have the cause found and corrected immediately. Make these checks only where adequate ventilation can be obtained if you run the engine. OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE Items listed below should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified. Tire pressure Check the pressure with a gauge every two weeks, or at least once a month. See Section 7- 2 for additional information. Tire rotation Rotate the tires every 12000 km (7500 miles). See Section 7- 2 for additional information. Doors and engine hood Check that all doors including trunk lid operate smoothly and all latches lock securely.

Engine oil level Check the level on the dipstick with the engine turned off and the vehicle parked on a level spot. See Section 7- 2 for additional information. 2000 Corolla(U) Does your vehicle need repairing? Power steering fluid level Check the level through the reservoir. The level should be in the “HOT” or “COLD” range depending on the fluid temperature. See Section 7- 2 for additional information. Exhaust system If you notice any change in the sound of the exhaust or smell exhaust fumes, have the cause located and corrected immediately. (See engine exhaust cautions in Section 2.) Be on the alert for changes in performance, sounds, and visual tip- offs that indicate service is needed. Some important clues are as follows: Engine missing, stumbling, or pinging Appreciable loss of power Strange engine noises A leak under the vehicle (however, water dripping from the air conditioning after use is normal.) If you notice any of these clues, take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. It probably needs adjustment or repair. CAUTION Do not continue driving with the vehicle unchecked. It could result in serious vehicle damage and possibly personal injury. Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system checked immediately.) Flat- looking tire; excessive tire squeal when cornering; uneven tire wear Vehicle pulls to one side when driving straight on a level road Strange noises related to suspension movement Loss of brake effectiveness; spongy feeling brake or clutch pedal;pedal almost touches floor; vehicle pulls to one side when braking Engine coolant temperature continually higher than normal 197 2000 Corolla(U) 198 2000 Corolla(U) SECTION 8 SPECIFICATIONS Dimensions and weight . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

U.S.Department of Transportation. Washington,D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline. This information has been prepared in accordance with regulations issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation. It provides the purchasers and/ or prospective purchasers of Toyota vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading. Your Toyota dealer will help answer any questions you may have as you read this information. DOT quality grades—All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades. These quality grades are molded on the sidewall. Treadwear—The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1- 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate. 2000 Corolla(U) Traction AA, A, B, C—The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure. Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction. Temperature A, B, C—The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. 239 2000 Corolla(U) 240 2000 Corolla(U) SECTION 1- 1 OPERATION OF INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS Overview of instruments and controls Instrument panel overview . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Instrument cluster overview . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Indicator symbols on the instrument pane . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 1 2000 Corolla(U) Instrument panel overview 1.

CAUTION Do not drive the vehicle unless the occupants are properly seated. Do not allow sitting on top of a folded- down seatback, or in the luggage compartment. Persons not properly seated and/or properly restrained by seat belts can be severely injured in the event of emergency braking or a collision. During driving, do not allow passengers to stand up or move around between seats. Severe injuries can occur in the event of emergency braking or a collision. 24 CAUTION The SRS side airbags are installed in the driver and front passenger seats. Observe the following precautions. Do not lean against the front door when the vehicle is in use. The side airbag inflates with considerable speed and force; you may be killed or seriously injured. Do not modify or replace the seats or surface of the front seats with the side airbags. Such changes may disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate, resulting in death or serious injury. Consult your Toyota dealer. Do not use accessories for the seats which cover the parts where the side airbags should inflate. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, causing death or serious injury. —Seat adjustment precautions Adjust the driver’s seat so that the foot pedals, steering wheel and instrument panel controls are within easy reach of the driver. CAUTION Adjustments should not be made while the vehicle is moving, as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. When adjusting the seat, be careful not to hit the seat against a passenger or luggage. After adjusting the seat position, try sliding it forward and backward to make sure it is locked in position. After adjusting the seatback, exert body pressure to make sure it is locked in position. Do not put objects under the seats as they may interfere with the seatlock mechanism or unexpectedly push up the seat position adjusting lever; the seat may suddenly move, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. 2000 Corolla(U) —Adjusting front seats While adjusting the seat, do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts. You may catch and injure your hands or fingers. 1. SEAT POSITION ADJUSTING LEVER Pull the lever up. Then slide the seat to the desired position with slight body pressure and release the lever. 2. SEATBACK LEVER ANGLE ADJUSTING Lean forward and pull the lever up. Then lean back to the desired angle and release the lever. CAUTION To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed. The seat belts provide maximum protection in a frontal or rear collision when the driver and the passenger are sitting up straight and well back in the seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen. Therefore, in the event of a frontal collision, the risk of personal injury may increase with increasing recline of the seatback. 25 2000 Corolla(U) Fold- down rear seat CAUTION When returning the seatback to the upright position: Make sure the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback and are arranged in the proper position and are ready to use. Make sure the seatback is securely (A) FOLDING DOWN REAR SEAT 2. Fold down the seatback. 1. To unlock the seatback, pull the lever in the luggage compartment. Each seatback may be folded separately. On vehicles with built- in child restraint, only the left seatback can be folded down. This will enlarge the trunk as far as the seatbacks. See “Luggage stowage precautions” in Section 2 for precautions in loading luggage. NOTICE Make sure the luggage loaded in the enlarged trunk will not damage the webbing of the rear center seat belt when the left seatback is folded down. 26 locked by pushing forward and rearward on the top of the seatback. Failure to do so will prevent seat belt from operating properly. 2000 Corolla(U) CAUTION Disconnect the rear center seat belt only under the above mentioned circumstances; do not disconnect it in other circumstances. (B) PREVENTING DAMAGE TO REAR CENTER SEAT BELT WEBBING When folding down the left seatback, if the luggage loaded in the enlarged trunk will damage the webbing of the rear center seat belt, disconnect the rear center seat belt to prevent damage. (C) BEFORE RETURNING REAR SEAT Make sure the shoulder belt pass through the guide when returning the seatback up. Insert the key into the hole (light gray) on the buckle to release tab 1 (light gray), and allow the belt to retract. 27 2000 Corolla(U) Head restraints CAUTION Be careful not to mix up the proper match of tab and buckle. Do not insert tab 1 (light gray) into other buckle than the one with light gray buckle release button. (See “Seat belts” in this section for proper matching of the buckles and tabs.) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked. Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in Before returning the seatback to the upright position, make sure to correctly connect the center seat belt for ready use. the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle. Make sure the belt is not twisted or Insert tab 1 (light gray) into the buckle with light gray buckle- release button. caught in the seatback and that it is arranged in the proper position for ready use. You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle. If the seat belt does not function 28 normally, immediately contact your Toyota dealer. For your safety and comfort, adjust the head restraint before driving. To raise: Pull it up. To lower: Push it down while pressing the lock release button. The head restraint is most effective when it is close to your head. Therefore, using a cushion on the seatback is not recommended. 2000 Corolla(U) Seat belts— —Seat belt precautions CAUTION Adjust the center of the head restraint so that it is closest to the top of your ears. After adjusting the head restraint, make sure it is locked in position. Do not drive with the head restraints removed. Toyota strongly urges that the driver and passengers in the vehicle be properly restrained at all times with the seat belts provided. Failure to do so could increase the chance of injury and/or the severity of injury in accidents. Child. Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belts. See “Child restraint” for details. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. If a child must sit in the front seat, the seat belts should be worn properly. If an accident occurs and the seat belts are not worn properly, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag may cause death or serious injury to the child. Do not allow the child to stand up or kneel on either rear or front seats. An unrestrained child could suffer serious injury or death during emergency braking or a collision. Also, do not let the child sit on your lap. It does not provide sufficient restraint. Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Ask your doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be worn securely and as low as possible over the hips and not on the waist. Injured person. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Depending on the injury, first check with your doctor for specific recommendations. CAUTION Persons should ride in their seats properly wearing their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer serious bodily injury or death in the event of sudden braking or a collision. When using the seat belts, observe the following: 29 2000 Corolla(U) —Front and rear seat belts Use the belt for only one person at Replace the belt assembly (includ- a time. Do not use a single belt for two or more people—even children. ing bolts) if it has been used in a severe impact. The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious. Avoid reclining the seatbacks too much. The seat belts provide maximum protection when the seatbacks are in the upright position. (Refer to the seat adjustment instructions.) Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. Take care that they do not get caught or pinched in the seat or doors. Inspect the belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Damaged parts should be replaced. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Keep the belts clean and dry. If they need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Never use bleach, dye, or abrasive cleaners—they may severely weaken the belts. (See “Cleaning the interior” in Section 5.) 30 Adjust the seat as needed (front seats only) and sit up straight and well back in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the tab into the buckle. You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle. The seat belt length automatically adjusts to your size and the seat position. The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It also may lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and you can move around freely. 2000 Corolla(U) If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly pull the belt and release it. You will then be able to smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor. CAUTION Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an accident and cause serious injures in a collision. When a passenger’s shoulder belt is completely extended and is then retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system securely. (For details, see “Child restraint” in this section.) To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more. CAUTION Seat belts with an adjustable shoulder anchor— After inserting the tab, make sure Adjust the shoulder anchor position to your size. the tab and buckle are locked and that the belt is not twisted.

Bring the heaviest coat you expect to wear for proper measurement and selection of length. Additional ordering information is available at your Toyota dealer. CAUTION CAUTION Do not use the rear center seat belt with either buckle released. Fastening only the shoulder belt or lap belt may cause severe personal injury in case of sudden braking or a collision. When using the seat belt extender, observe the following. Failure to follow these instructions could result in less effectiveness of the seat belt restraint system in case of vehicle accident, increasing the chance of personal injury. Never use the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without it. 34 Remember that the extender provided for you may not be safe when used on a different vehicle, or for another person or at a different seating position than the one originally intended for. 2000 Corolla(U) —Front seat belt pretensioners CAUTION After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the seat belt extender is not twisted. Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle. If the seat belt does not function To connect the extender to the seat belt, insert the tab into the seat belt buckle so that the “PRESS” signs on the buckle- release buttons of the extender and the seat belt are both facing outward as shown. You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle. When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle- release button on the extender, not on the seat belt. This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and extender itself. normally, immediately contact your Toyota dealer. The driver and front passenger’s seat belt pretensioners are designed to be activated in response to a severe frontal impact. When the airbag sensor detects the shock of a severe frontal impact, the front seat belt is quickly drawn back in by the retractor so that the belt snugly restrains the front seat occupants. The seat belt pretensioners are activated even with no passenger in the front seat. When not in use, remove the extender and store in the vehicle for future use. 35 2000 Corolla(U) When a seat belt pretensioner is activated, an operating noise may be heard and a small amount of smoke- like gas may be released. This gas is harmless and does not indicate that a fire is occurring. Once the seat belt pretensioner has been activated, the seat belt retractor remains locked. CAUTION This indicator comes on when the ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position. It goes off after about 6 seconds. This means the front seat belt pretensioners are operating properly. This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors, seat belt pretensioner assemblies, warning light, interconnecting wiring and power sources. (For details, see “Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers” in Section 1- 5.) 36 The seat belt pretensioner system mainly consists of the following components and their locations are shown in the illustration. 1. Front airbag sensors 2. SRS warning light 3. Seat belt pretensioner assemblies 4. Airbag sensor assembly The seat belt pretensioner is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and airbag sensor. Do not modify, remove, strike or open the front seat belt pretensioner assemblies, airbag sensor or surrounding area or wiring. Doing any of these may cause sudden operation of the front seat belt pretensioners or disable the system, which could result in serious injury. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injuries. 2000 Corolla(U) If either front seat belt does not retract NOTICE or can not be pulled out due to a malfunction or activation of the pretensioner.

Toyota strongly recommends that: The driver sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel while still maintaining control of the vehicle. The front passenger sit as far back The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are designed to provide further protection for the driver and front passenger in addition to the primary safety protection provided by the seat belts. In response to a severe frontal impact, the SRS airbags work together with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflating. The SRS airbags help to reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s or front passenger’s head or chest directly hitting the steering wheel or dashboard. The passenger airbag is activated even with no passenger in the front seat. Be sure to wear your seat belt. 38 as possible from the dashboard. All vehicle occupants be properly restrained using the available seat belts. This indicator comes on when the ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position. It goes off after about 6 seconds. This means the SRS airbags are operating properly. This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sensors, inflators, warning light, interconnecting wiring and power sources. (For details, see “Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers” in Section 1- 5.) 2000 Corolla(U) However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact, or if it is involved in an underride collision (e.g. a collision in which the nose of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck, etc.). It is possible with collision severity at the marginal level of airbag sensor detection and activation that only one of your vehicle’s two airbags will deploy. The SRS airbag system is designed to activate in response to a severe frontal impact within the shaded area between the arrows in the illustration. The SRS airbags will deploy if the severity of the impact is above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximate 25 km/h (15 mph) collision when impacting straight into a fixed barrier that does not move or deform. For the safety of all occupants, always wear your seat belts. Collision from the rear Collision from the side Vehicle rollover The SRS airbags are not designed to inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low- speed frontal collision. If the severity of the impact is below the above threshold level, the SRS airbags may not deploy. 39 2000 Corolla(U) Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard material In a severe frontal impact, sensors detect deceleration and the system triggers the airbag inflators. Then a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non- toxic gas to help restrain the forward motion of the occupants. Falling into or jumping over a deep hole Landing hard or vehicle falling The SRS airbags may deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration. The SRS airbag system consists mainly of the following components, and their locations are shown in the illustration. 1. Front airbag sensors 2. SRS warning light 3. Airbag module for passenger (airbag and inflator) 4. Airbag sensor assembly 5. Airbag module for driver (airbag and inflator) The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and airbag sensor. 40 When the airbags inflate, they produce a fairly loud noise and release some smoke and residue along with non- toxic gas. This does not indicate a fire. This gas is normally harmless; however, for those who have delicate skin, it may cause a minor skin irritation. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin irritation. Deployment of the airbags happens in a fraction of a second, so the airbags must inflate with considerable force. While the system is designed to reduce serious injuries, it may also cause minor burns or abrasions and swelling. Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, dashboard) may be hot for several minutes, but the airbags themselves will not be hot. The airbags are designed to inflate only once. 2000 Corolla(U) A crash severe enough to inflate the airbags may break the windshield as the vehicle buckles. In vehicles with a passenger airbag the windshield may also be damaged by absorbing some of the force of the inflating airbag. CAUTION The SRS airbag system is designed only as a supplement to the primary protection of the driver side and front passenger side seat belt systems. The front seat occupants can be killed or seriously injured by an inflating airbag if they do not wear the available seat belts. During sudden braking just before a collision, an unrestrained driver or front passenger can move forward into direct contact with or close proximity to the airbag which may then deploy during the collision. To ensure maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts. Wearing a seat belt during an accident reduces the chances of death or serious injury or being thrown out of the vehicle. For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” in this section. Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seat of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seat is the safest for infants and children. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see “Child restraint” in this section. 41 2000 Corolla(U) For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see “Child restraint” in this section.

To avoid potential death or serious injury when they inflate, the driver and front passenger must: Wear their seat belts. Remain properly seated with their back upright and against the seat at all times. In the following cases, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible: The SRS airbags have been inflated. The front part of the vehicle (shaded in the illustration) was involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS airbags to inflate. The pad section of the steering wheel or front passenger airbag cover (shaded in the illustration) is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged. NOTICE Do not disconnect the battery cables before contacting your Toyota dealer. The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) side airbags are designed to provide further protection for the driver and front passenger in addition to the primary safety protection provided by the seat belts. In response to a severe side impact, the SRS side airbags work together with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflating. The SRS side airbags help to reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s or front passenger’s chest. The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat is activated even with no passenger in the front seat. Be sure to wear your seat belt. 45 2000 Corolla(U) Collision from the rear Collision from the front Vehicle rollover This indicator comes on when the ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position.

This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, side airbag sensor assemblies, inflators, warning light, interconnecting wiring and power sources. (For details, see “Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers” in Section 1- 5.) The SRS side airbag system may not inflate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment as shown in the illustration. The SRS side airbags are designed to inflate when the passenger compartment area suffers a severe impact from the side. For the safety of all occupants, always wear your seat belts. 46 The SRS side airbags are not designed to inflate if the vehicle is involved in a front or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low- speed side collision. 2000 Corolla(U) In a severe side impact, the side airbag sensor triggers the side airbag inflators. Then a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non- toxic gas to help restrain the lateral motion of the occupants. The SRS side airbag system consists mainly of the following components, and their locations are shown in the illustration. 1. SRS warning light 2. Side airbag modules (airbag and inflator) 3. Side airbag sensor assemblies 4. Airbag sensor assembly The SRS side airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly.

Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems for children small enough to use them. The laws of all fifty states in the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of a child restraint system. Your vehicle conforms to SAE J1819. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt. See “Seat belts” for details. In the following cases, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible: The SRS side airbags have been inflated. The portion of the doors (shaded in the illustration) were involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS side airbags to inflate. The surface of the seats with the side airbag (shaded in the illustration) is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged. 50 CAUTION For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, children must be properly restrained using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior. 2000 Corolla(U) —Child restraint system Toyota strongly urges use of a A forward- facing child restraint sys- proper child restraint system which conforms to the size of the child, and is put on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. tem should be allowed to be put on the front seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as far back as possible, because the force of a deploying airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child. On vehicles with side airbags, do not allow the child to lean against the front door or around the front door even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbag inflates, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child. Never put a rear- facing child restraint system on the front seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag can cause death or serious injury if a rear- facing child restraint system is put on the front seat. Unless it is unavoidable, do not put a forward- facing child restraint system on the front seat. Make sure that you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. You must carefully consult the manufacturer’s instructions which accompany the child restraint system. To provide proper restraint, use a child restraint system following the manufacturer’s instructions about the appropriate age and size of the child for the child restraint system. Install the child restraint system correctly following the instructions provided by its manufacturer of the system. The child restraint system should be installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. 51 2000 Corolla(U) CAUTION Never put a rear- facing child restraint system on the front seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag can cause death or serious injury if a rear- facing child restraint system is put on the front seat. Unless it is unavoidable, do not put a forward- facing child restraint system on the front seat. A forward- facing child restraint system should be allowed to be put on the front seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as far back as possible, because the force of a deploying airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child. On vehicles with side airbags, do not allow the child to lean against the front door or around the front door even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbag inflates, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child. 52 After installing the child restraint system, make sure it is secured in place following the manufacturer’s instructions. If it is not restrained securely, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or accident. When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seat belt or place it in the trunk or somewhere other than the passenger compartment. This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident. Your vehicle has anchor brackets for securing the top strap of a child restraint system. For instructions about how to use the anchor bracket, see “—Using a top strap” in this section. 2000 Corolla(U) —Built- in child restraint The built- in child restraint system mainly consists of a child seat integrated in the rear seat and 5- point seat belts.

The child should be at least one year old and must be capable of sitting upright alone and whose shoulder height is at or below the maximum shoulder height indicator. It is important to use a rear- facing child restraint until the child is about a year old. A rear- facing restraint gives the child’s head, neck and body the support they would need in a crash. See “—Child restraint system” for more information. If your child’s shoulders are above the indicator position, do not use the builtin child restraint. Your child should use the vehicle’s seat belts. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. 54 Keep the belts clean and dry. If CAUTION Make sure the child is securely restrained with the built- in child restraint. WARNING! Failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the use of this child restraint system can result in your child striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash. Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint around your child. When using the built- in child straint, observe the following: re- Use the belts for only one child at a time. Do not use the belts for two or more children. Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. Take care that they do not get caught or pinched in the seatback. Inspect the belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Damaged parts should be replaced. Do not disassemble or modify the child restraint belt system. they need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Never use bleach, dye, or abrasive cleaners—they may severely weaken the belts. Replace the built- in child restraint assembly if it has been used in a severe impact. The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious. Do not use a separate child restraint system over the built- in child restraint. opened When the built- in child restraint is in use, do not use the adult lap and shoulder belt instead of the built- in child restraint seat belt as it can cause severe injury to the child in a sudden stop or crash. 2000 Corolla(U) 1. Separate the fastener tapes under the right rear seatback and fold the separated part of the seatback down while lowering it. 2. Unlock and remove the head restraint, then reinstall it facing backward. 3. While pulling the seat belt release strap (black), pull both shoulder belts together. CAUTION Pull the seat belt release strap from above at about 45angle to the child seat cushion. When using the built- in child restraint, the head restraint must be stored in reverse. If the shoulder belts cannot be pulled out, return the child seat cushion to an almost closed position, firmly pull the seat belt release strap and at the same time pull both shoulder belts, then lower the child seat cushion again. 55 2000 Corolla(U) 4.

Make sure the belts go through the slots in the pad. The removable pad is attached by fastener tapes. CAUTION CAUTION If your child’s shoulders are above the maximum shoulder height indicator label, do not use the built- in child restraint. Your child should use the adult lap and shoulder belt. 56 If you have removed the removable pad for cleaning etc., do not use the built- in child restraint without the pad. 2000 Corolla(U) Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tabs and buckle. If the seat belt does not function normally, it cannot protect your child from injury. Contact your Toyota dealer immediately. Do not use the built- in child restraint until the seat belt is fixed. 7. Sit the child on the child seat. Place a shoulder belt over each shoulder. Insert the tabs into the buckle. 8. Adjust the shoulder pads. CAUTION When the built- in child restraint is in use, do not use the adult lap and shoulder belt instead of the built- in child restraint seat belt as it can cause severe injury to the child in a sudden stop or crash. After inserting the tabs, make sure the tabs and buckle are locked and that the shoulder belts and buckle strap are not twisted. 57 2000 Corolla(U) 9. Fasten the shoulder belt clip. The purpose of the clip is to keep the shoulder belts positioned correctly on the shoulders. CAUTION An unfastened shoulder belt clip will not help keep the belts on the child’s shoulders. In a sudden stop or crash, the child may go too far forward and be seriously injured. Make sure the belt clip is fastened at all times. 58 10. Pull the seat belt adjustment strap (gray tab) firmly until the shoulder belts are snugly adjusted around the child’s shoulders. You should not be able to put more than two fingers between a shoulder belt and the child’s chest. After adjusting the shoulder belt tightness, move the shoulder belt clip 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in.) below the child’s chin. On each belt, the shoulder part should be centered on the child’s shoulder.

Nearly full—Needle at “F” Nearly empty—Needle at “E” It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4 full. This fuel gauge has a non- return type needle which remains at the last indicated position when the ignition switch is turned off. Type A If the fuel level approaches “E” or the low fuel level warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible. Type A On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the tank, the fuel gauge needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level warning light may come on earlier than usual. If the fuel tank is completely empty, the malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill the fuel tank immediately. The indicator lamp goes off after driving several times. If the indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. Type B 84 Type B 2000 Corolla(U) Tachometer The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is on. The engine operating temperature will vary with changes in weather and engine load. Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. See “If your vehicle overheats” in Section 4. If the needle moves into the red zone, your engine is too hot. If your vehicle overheats, stop your vehicle and allow the engine to cool. Your vehicle may overheat during severe operating conditions, such as: Driving up a long hill on a hot day. Reducing speed or stopping after high speed driving. Idling for a long period with the air conditioning on in stop- and- go traffic. Towing a trailer. NOTICE Do not remove the thermostat in the engine cooling system as this may cause the engine to overheat. The thermostat is designed to control the flow of coolant to keep the temperature of the engine within the specified operating range. The tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of rpm (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to select correct shift points and to prevent engine lugging and overrevving. Driving with the engine running too fast causes excessive engine wear and poor fuel economy. Remember, in most cases the slower the engine speed, the greater the fuel economy. NOTICE Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone. This may cause severe engine damage. 85 2000 Corolla(U) Odometer and two trip meters Thermometer 3.

With the brake pedal held down with your foot, shift the selector lever to the “R” position. NOTICE Never shift into reverse while the vehicle is moving. 98 (g) Parking and down between the third gear and overdrive when climbing a gentle slope, the overdrive should be turned off. Be sure to turn the switch on immediately afterward. When towing a trailer, in order to maintain engine braking efficiency, do not use overdrive. 2000 Corolla(U) CAUTION Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping. NOTICE Do not hold the vehicle on an upgrade with the accelerator pedal. It can cause the transmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake. (i) Rocking your vehicle if stuck CAUTION If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward and backward. Do not attempt this procedure if people or objects are anywhere near the vehicle. During the rocking operation the vehicle may suddenly move forward or backward as it becomes unstuck, causing injury or damage to nearby people or objects. Do not race the engine and avoid spinning the wheels. If your vehicle remains stuck after rocking the vehicle several times, consider other ways such as towing. (j) If you cannot shift the selector lever out of “P” position If you cannot shift the selector lever from “P” position even though the brake pedal is depressed, use the shift lock override button. For instructions, see “If you cannot shift automatic transmission selector lever” in Section 4. NOTICE If you rock your vehicle, observe the following precautions to prevent damage to the transmission and other parts. Do not depress the accelerator pedal while shifting the selector lever or before the transmission is completely shifted to forward or reverse gear. 99 2000 Corolla(U) Manual transmission Low altitude —1219 m (4000 ft.) or lower gear km/h 1 2 3 4 to to to to 2 3 4 5 or or or or 2 3 4 5 to to to to 1 2 3 4 24 37/40∗1 64/45∗2 72/64∗2 (mph) (15) (23/25∗1 ) (40/28∗2 ) (45/40∗2 ) ∗1 : ∗2 : Under cold engine conditions. For constant- speed cruise or constant- speed cruise after deceleration. The shift pattern is conventional as shown above. Press the clutch pedal down fully while shifting, and then release it slowly. Do not rest your foot on the pedal while driving, because it will cause clutch trouble. And do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopped on an uphill grade—use the parking brake. Recommended shifting speeds The transmission is fully synchronized and upshifting or downshifting is easy. For the best compromise between fuel economy and vehicle performance, you should upshift or downshift at the following speeds: 100 High altitude —Higher than 1219 m (4000 ft.) Upshifting gear km/h (mph) 1 2 3 4 to to to to 24 40 64 72 (15) (25) (40) (45) Downshifting gear km/h (mph) 2 3 4 5 24 40 64 72 (15) (25) (40) (45) to to to to 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 Downshift to the appropriate gear if acceleration is needed when you are cruising below the above downshifting speeds. Upshifting too soon or downshifting too late will cause lugging, and possibly pinging. Regularly revving the engine to maximum speed in each gear will cause excessive engine wear and high fuel consumption. Maximum allowable speeds To get on a highway or to pass slower traffic, maximum acceleration may be necessary. Make sure you observe the following maximum allowable speeds in each gear: gear 1 2 3 4 km/h 55 92 134 180 (mph) (34) (57) (83) (112) NOTICE Do not downshift if you are going faster than the maximum allowable speed for the next lower gear. 2000 Corolla(U) Parking brake Good driving practice When parking, firmly apply the parking brake to avoid inadvertent creeping. If it is difficult to shift into reverse, put the transmission in neutral, release the clutch pedal momentarily, and then try again. To set: Pull up the lever. For better holding power, first depress the brake pedal and hold it while setting the parking brake. To release: Pull up the lever slightly, press the thumb button, and lower. When towing a trailer, in order to maintain engine braking efficiency, do not use the fifth gear. To remind you that the parking brake is set, the parking brake reminder light in the instrument panel remains on until you release the parking brake. CAUTION Be careful when downshifting on a slippery surface. Abrupt shifting could cause the vehicle to spin or skid. Type A CAUTION Before driving, be sure the parking brake is fully released and the parking brake reminder light is off. NOTICE Make sure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into reverse. Type B 101 2000 Corolla(U) Cruise control The cruise control allows you to cruise the vehicle at a desired speed over 40 km/h (25 mph) even with your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your cruising speed can be maintained up or down grades within the limits of engine performance, although a slight speed change may occur when driving up or down the grades. On steeper hills, a greater speed change will occur so it is better to drive without the cruise control. CAUTION To help maintain maximum control of your vehicle, do not use the cruise control when driving in heavy or varying traffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy or snow- covered) or winding roads. Avoid vehicle speed increases when driving downhill. If the vehicle speed is too fast in relation to the cruise control set speed, cancel the cruise control then downshift the transmission to use engine braking to slow down. 102 TURNING ON THE SYSTEM SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED To operate the cruise control, press the “CRUISE ON·OFF” button. This turns the system on. The indicator light in the instrument panel shows that you can now set the vehicle at a desired cruising speed. Another press will turn the system completely off. On vehicles with automatic transmission, the transmission must be in “D” before you set the cruise control speed. CAUTION To avoid accidental cruise control engagement, keep the “CRUISE ON·OFF” switch off when not using the cruise control. Bring your vehicle to the desired speed, push the lever down in the “SET/COAST” direction and release it. This sets the vehicle at that speed. If the speed is not satisfactory, tap the lever up for a faster speed, or tap it down for a slower speed. Each tap changes the set speed by 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph). You can now take your foot off the accelerator pedal. 2000 Corolla(U) If you need acceleration—for example, when passing—depress the accelerator pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you release it, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior to the acceleration. CAUTION For manual transmission: While driving with the cruise control on, do not shift to neutral without depressing the clutch pedal, as this may cause engine racing or overrevving. CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED You can cancel the preset speed by: a. Pulling the lever in the “CANCEL” direction and releasing it. b. Depressing the brake pedal. c. Depressing the clutch pedal (manual transmission). If the vehicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will automatically cancel out. If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10 mph) below the preset speed,the preset speed will also automatically cancel out. If the preset speed automatically cancels out other than for the above cases, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer at the earliest opportunity. RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED Push the lever up in the “RES/ACC” direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain speed. However, a faster way to reset is to accelerate the vehicle and then push the lever down in the “SET/COAST” direction. RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED On vehicles with 4- speed automatic transmission, even if you turn off the overdrive switch, with the cruise control on, engine braking will not be applied because the cruise control is not cancelled. To decrease the vehicle speed, reset to a slower speed with the cruise control lever or depress the brake pedal. If you use the brake pedal, cruise control is cancelled. RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling the control lever or by depressing the brake pedal or clutch pedal, pushing the lever up in the “RES/ACC” direction will restore the speed set prior to cancellation. Push the lever down in the “SET/COAST” direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held down, the vehicle speed will gradually decrease. However, once the vehicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will not be resumed. However, a faster way to reset is to depress the brake pedal and then push the lever down in the “SET/COAST” direction. If the “CRUISE” indicator light in the instrument cluster flashes when using the cruise control, press the “CRUISE ON·OFF” button to turn the system off and then press it again to turn it on. CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING If any of the following conditions then occurs, there is some trouble in the cruise control system. 103 2000 Corolla(U) The indicator light does not come on. The indicator light flashes again. The indicator light goes out after it comes on. If this is the case, contact your Toyota dealer and have your vehicle inspected. 104 2000 Corolla(U) SECTION 1- 7 OPERATION OF INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS Car audio system Reference . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 106 Using your audio system . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 106 Car audio system operating hints . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 124 105 2000 Corolla(U) Using your audio system— —Some basics Reference This section describes some of the basic features on Toyota audio systems. Some information may not pertain to your system. Your audio system works when the ignition key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position. TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF Push “VOL/PWR”, “PWR·VOL” or “PWR/ VOL” to turn the audio system on and off.

You can turn on each player by inserting a cassette tape or compact disc. You can turn off each player by ejecting the cassette tape or compact disc. If the audio system was previously off, then the entire audio system will be turned off when you eject the cassette tape or compact disc. If the another function was previously playing, it will come on again. SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS Type 2: AM·FM ETR radio/cassette player 106 Push “AM”, “FM”, “AM·FM”, “TAPE” or “CD” if the system is already on but you want to switch from one function to another. Type 4: AM·FM ETR radio/compact disc player 2000 Corolla(U) TONE AND BALANCE YOUR RADIO ANTENNA YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER For details about your system’s tone and balance controls, see the description of your own system. To lower a manual antenna, carefully push it down. When you insert a disc, gently push it in with the label side up. (The player will automatically eject a disc if the label side is down.) The compact disc player will play from track 1 through the end of the disc. Then it will play from track 1 again. Tone How good an audio program sounds to you is largely determined by the mix of the treble and bass levels. In fact, different kinds of music and vocal programs usually sound better with different mixes of treble and bass. Balance A good balance of the left and right stereo channels and of the front and rear sound levels is also important. Keep in mind that if you are listening to a stereo recording or broadcast, changing the right/left balance will increase the volume of one group of sounds while decreasing the volume of another. NOTICE To prevent damage to the antenna, make sure it is retracted before driving your Toyota through an automatic car wash. YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER When you insert a cassette, the exposed tape should be to the right. NOTICE Do not oil any part of the player and do not insert anything other than cassette tapes into the slot, or the tape player may be damaged. NOTICE Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the compact disc player. Do not insert anything except a compact disc into the slot. 8 cm (3 in.) compact disc singles Your compact disc player does not need an adaptor to play compact disc singles. Compact disc singles are about 8 cm (3 in.) in diameter- smaller than standard discs. After you eject a compact disc single, do not insert a standard 12 cm (5 in.) disc until “DISC” disappears from the display. 107 2000 Corolla(U) NOTICE Do not use an adaptor for compact disc singles—it could cause tracking errors or interfere with the ejection of compact discs. 108 2000 Corolla(U) —Controls and features Type 1 Details of specific buttons, controls and features are described in the alphabetical listing that follows. 109 2000 Corolla(U) 1 2 3 4 5 6 (Preset buttons) BAL (Balance) TUNE These buttons are used to preset and tune in radio stations.

Seeking To seek a station, push and hold the “” or “” side of “TUNE” until you hear a beep. Do this again to find another station. NOTICE To ensure the correct audio system operation: Be careful not to spill beverages over the audio system. Do not put anything other than a cassette tape or Compact Disc into the slot. The use of cellular phone inside or near the vehicle may cause a noise from the speakers of the audio system which you are listening to. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. RADIO RECEPTION Usually, a problem with radio reception does not mean there is a problem with your radio—it is just the normal result of conditions outside the vehicle. For example, nearby buildings and terrain can interfere with FM reception. Power lines or telephone wires can interfere with AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited range. The farther you are from a station, the weaker its signal will be. In addition, reception conditions change constantly as your vehicle moves. 124 2000 Corolla(U) Here are some common reception problems that probably do not indicate a problem with your radio: FM Fading and drifting stations—Generally, the effective range of FM is about 40 km (25 miles). Once outside this range, you may notice fading and drifting, which increase with the distance from the radio transmitter. They are often accompanied by distortion. Multi- path—FM signals are reflective, making it possible for two signals to reach your antenna at the same time. If this happens, the signals will cancel each other out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of reception. AM Use high- quality cassettes. Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by the upper atmosphere—especially at night. These reflected signals can interfere with those received directly from the radio station, causing the radio station to sound alternately strong and weak. Low- quality cassette tapes can cause Station interference—When a reflected signal and a signal received directly from a radio station are very nearly the same frequency, they can interfere with each other, making it difficult to hear the broadcast. Do not use a cassette if it has been Static—AM is easily affected by external sources of electrical noise, such as high tension power lines, lightening, or electrical motors. This results in static. Store cassettes in their cases and out Static and fluttering—These occur when signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or other large objects. Increasing the bass level may reduce static and fluttering. CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER AND TAPES Station swapping—If the FM signal you are listening to is interrupted or weakened, and there is another strong station nearby on the FM band, your radio may tune in the second station until the original signal can be picked up again. Clean the tape head and other parts regularly. For the best performance for your cassette player and tapes: many problems, including poor sound, inconsistent playing speed, and constant auto- reversing. They can also get stuck or tangled in the cassette player. damaged or tangled or if its label is peeling off. Do not leave a cassette in the player if you are not listening to it, especially if it is hot outside. of direct sunlight. Avoid using cassettes with a total playing time longer than 100 minutes (50 minutes per side). The tape used in these cassettes is thin and could get stuck or tangled in the cassette player. A dirty tape head or tape path can decrease sound quality and tangle your cassette tapes. The easiest way to clean them is by using a cleaning tape. (A wet type is recommended.) 125 2000 Corolla(U) If moisture gets into your compact disc player, you may not hear any sound even though your compact disc player appears to be working. Remove the disc from the player and wait until it dries. CARING FOR YOUR PLAYER AND DISCS COMPACT DISC Use only compact discs labeled as shown. Extremely high temperatures can keep your compact disc player from working. On hot days, use the air conditioning to cool the vehicle interior before you listen to a disc. Bumpy roads or other vibrations may make your compact disc player skip. 126 2000 Corolla(U) Your compact disc player cannot play special shaped or low- quality compact discs such as those shown here. Do not use them as the player could be damaged. Handle compact discs carefully, especially when you are inserting them. Hold them on the edge and do not bend them. Avoid getting fingerprints on them, particularly on the shiny side. CAUTION Compact disc players use an invisible laser beam which could cause hazardous radiation exposure if directed outside the unit. Be sure to operate the player correctly. Dirt, scrapes, warping, pin holes, or other disc damage could cause the player to skip or to repeat a section of a track. (To see a pin hole, hold the disc up to the light.) Remove discs from the compact disc player when you are not listening to them. Store them in their plastic cases away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint- free cloth that has been dampened with water. Wipe in a straight line from the center to the edge of the disc (not in circles). Dry it with another soft, lint- free cloth. Do not use a conventional record cleaner or anti- static device. 127 2000 Corolla(U) 128 2000 Corolla(U) SECTION 1- 8 OPERATION OF INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS Air conditioning system Controls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This vents the hot air, allowing the air conditioning to cool the interior more quickly. Make sure the air intake grilles in front of the windshield are not blocked (by leaves or snow, for example). On humid days, do not blow cold air on the windshield. The windshield could fog up because of the difference in air temperature on the inside and outside of the windshield. Keep the area under the front seats clear to allow air to circulate throughout the vehicle. On cold days, move the fan speed to “HI” for a minute to help clear the intake ducts of snow or moisture. This can reduce the amount of fogging on the windows. 133 2000 Corolla(U) When driving on dusty roads, close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake selector be set to FRESH and the fan speed selector to any setting except “OFF”. If following another vehicle on a dusty road, or driving in windy and dusty conditions, it is recommended that the air intake selector be temporarily set to RECIRCULATE, which will close off the outside passage and prevent outside air and dust from entering the vehicle interior.

Do not overfill automatic transmission fluid, or the transmission could be damaged. Do not drive with the air cleaner filter removed, or excessive engine wear could result. Also backfiring could cause a fire in the engine compartment. Be careful not to scratch the glass surface with the wiper frame. When closing the engine hood, check to see that you have not forgotten any tools, rags, etc. Here is a list of parts and tools you will need on performing do- it- yourself maintenance. Remember all Toyota parts are designed in metric sizes, so your tools must be metric. Checking the engine oil level Parts (if level is low): Engine oil API grade SJ, “Energy- Conserving” or ILSAC multigrade having viscosity proper for your climate Tools: Rag or paper towel Funnel (only for adding oil) Checking the engine coolant level Parts (if level is low): “TOYOTA Long Life Coolant” or equivalent See Section 7- 2 for details about coolant type selection.

Engine oil selection Remove the oil filler cap and add engine oil in small quantities at a time, checking the dipstick. Recommended viscosity (SAE): Use API grade SJ, “Energy- Conserving” or ILSAC multigrade engine oil. The approximate quantity of oil needed to fill between the low level and the full level on the dipstick is indicated below for reference. Add oil O.K. Too full With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil level on the dipstick. 1. To get a true reading, the vehicle should be on a level spot. After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back into the bottom of the engine. 2. Pull out the dipstick, and wipe it clean with a rag. 3. Reinsert the dipstick—push it in as far as it will go, or the reading will not be correct. 4. Pull the dipstick out and look at the oil level on the end. 206 When the level reaches within the correct range, install the filler cap hand- tight. Oil quantity, L (qt., lmp. qt.): 1.3 (1.4, 1.1) NOTICE Avoid overfilling, or could be damaged. the engine Check the oil level on the dipstick once again after adding the oil. SAE 5W- 30 is the best choice for your vehicle, for good fuel economy, and good starting in cold weather. If you use SAE 10W- 30 engine oil in extremely low temperatures, the engine may become difficult to start, so SAE 5W- 30 engine oil is recommended. 2000 Corolla(U) Checking the engine coolant level Oil identification marks Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil containers to help you select the oil you should use. The API Service Symbol is located anywhere on the outside of the container. API service symbol The top portion of the label shows the oil quality by API (American Petroleum Institute) designations such as SJ. The center portion of the label shows the SAE viscosity grade such as SAE 5W- 30. “EnergyConserving” shown in the lower portion, indicates that the oil has fuel- saving capabilities. The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee) Certification Mark is displayed on the front of the container. Look at the see- through coolant reservoir when the engine is cold. The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” and “LOW” lines on the reservoir. If the level is low, add ethylene- glycol type coolant for a proper corrosion protection of aluminum components. The coolant level in the reservoir will vary with engine temperature. However, if the level is on or below the “LOW” line, add coolant. Bring the level up to the “FULL” line. Always use ethylene- glycol type coolant for a proper corrosion protection of aluminum components. See information in the next column. If the coolant level drops within a short time after replenishing, there may be a leak in the system. Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant filler cap, radiator cap and drain cock and water pump. If you can find no leak, have your Toyota dealer test the cap pressure and check for leaks in the cooling system. ILSAC certification mark 207 2000 Corolla(U) Checking brake fluid CAUTION To prevent burning yourself, do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Coolant type selection Use of improper coolants may damage your engine cooling system. Your coolant must contain ethylene- glycol type coolant for a proper corrosion protection of your engine that contains aluminum components. Use “TOYOTA Long Life Coolant” or equivalent. We recommend to use 50% solution for your Toyota, to provide protection down to about -35C (- 31F). When it is extremely cold, to provide protection down to about -50C (- 58F), 60% solution is recommended. Do not use more than 70% solution for better coolant performance. NOTICE Do not use alcohol type antifreeze or plain water alone. Type A In addition to preventing freezing and subsequent damage to the engine, this will also prevent corrosion. Further supplemental inhibitors or additives are neither needed nor recommended. Read the coolant container for information on freeze protection. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for how much to mix with plain water (preferably demineralized water or distilled water). The total capacity of the cooling system is given in Section 8. Type B 208 2000 Corolla(U) Checking power steering fluid To check the fluid level, simply look at the see- through reservoir. The level should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the reservoir. Use only newly opened brake fluid. Once opened, brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, and excess moisture can cause a dangerous loss of braking. It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear. So be sure to keep the reservoir filled. CAUTION If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious mechanical problem. If the level is low, add SAE J1703 or FMVSS No.116 DOT 3 brake fluid to the brake reservoir. Remove and replace the reservoir cover by hand. If hot O.K. Close Take care when filling the reservoir because brake fluid can harm your eyes and damage painted surfaces. If fluid gets in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water. NOTICE If you spill some of the fluid, be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging the parts or paint. If cold O.K. Open If cold add If hot add Check the fluid level through the reservoir. If necessary, add automatic transmission fluid DEXRON II or III. If the vehicle has been driven around 80 km/h (50 mph) for 20 minutes (a little more in frigid temperatures), the fluid is hot (60C—80C or 140F—175F). You may also check the level when the fluid is cold (about room temperature, 10C—30C or 50F—85F) if the engine has not been run for about five hours. 209 2000 Corolla(U) Checking tire pressure Clean all dirt from outside of the reservoir tank and look at the fluid level. If the fluid is cold, the level should be in the “COLD” range. Similarly, if it is hot, the fluid level should be in the “HOT” range. If the level is at the low side of either range, add automatic transmission fluid DEXRON II or III to bring the level within the range. Low tire pressure results in excessive wear, poor handling, reduced fuel economy, and the possibility of blowouts from overheated tires. Also, low tire pressure can cause poor sealing of the tire bead. If the tire pressure is excessively low, there is the possibility of wheel deformation and/or tire separation. To remove the filler cap, turn it counterclockwise and lift up. To reinstall it, turn it clockwise. After replacing the filler cap,visually check the steering box case, vane pump and hose connections for leaks or damage. High tire pressure produces a harsh ride, handling problems,excessive wear at the center of the tire tread, and a greater possibility of tire damage from road hazards. CAUTION The reservoir tank may be hot so be careful not to burn yourself. NOTICE Avoid overfilling, or the power steering could be damaged. 210 Keep your tire pressures at the proper level. The recommended cold tire pressures, tire size and the vehicle capacity weight are given in Section 8. They are also on the tire pressure label as shown. You should check the tire pressures every two weeks, or at least once a month. And don’t forget the spare! Incorrect tire pressure can reduce tire life and make your vehicle less safe to drive. If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it checked by your Toyota dealer. The following instructions for checking tire pressure should be observed: The pressure should be checked only when the tires are cold. If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours and has not been driven for more than 1.5 km or 1 mile since, you will get an accurate cold tire pressure reading. Always use a tire pressure gauge. The appearance of a tire can be misleading. Besides, tire pressures that are even just a few pounds off can degrade handling and ride. 2000 Corolla(U) Checking and replacing tires Take special care when adding air to the compact spare tire. The smaller tire size can gain pressure very quickly. Add compressed air in small quantities and check the pressure often until it reaches the specified pressure. Tread wear indicator Even if the damage does not appear serious, a qualified technician should examine the damage. Objects which have penetrated the tire may have caused internal damage. Do not bleed or reduce tire pressure after driving. It is normal for the tire pressure to be higher after driving. Never exceed the vehicle capacity Any tires which are over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if damage is not obvious. weight. The passenger and luggage weight should be located so that the vehicle is balanced. Be sure to reinstall the tire inflation valve caps. Without the valve caps, dirt or moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If the caps have been lost, have new ones put on as soon as possible. Check the tires regularly for damage such as cuts, splits and cracks. If any damage is found, consult with a technician and have the tire repaired or replaced. CHECKING YOUR TIRES Check the tires tread for the tread wear indicators. If the indicators show, replace the tires. The tires on your Toyota have built- in tread wear indicators to help you know when the tires need replacement. When the tread depth wears to 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) or less, the indicators will appear. If you can see the indicators in two or more adjacent grooves, the tire should be replaced. The lower the tread, the higher the risk of skidding. The effectiveness of snow tires is lost if the tread wears down below 4 mm (0.16 in.). Tires deteriorate with age even if they have never or seldom been used. This applies also to the spare tire and tires stored for future use. REPLACING YOUR TIRES When replacing a tire, use only the same size and construction as originally installed and with the same or greater load capacity. Using any other size or type of tire may seriously affect handling, ride, speedometer/odometer calibration, ground clearance, and clearance between the body and tires or snow chains. 211 2000 Corolla(U) Rotating tires To equalize the wear and help extend tire life, Toyota recommends that you rotate your tires approximately every 12000 km (7500 miles). However, the most appropriate timing for tire rotation may vary according to your driving habits and road surface conditions. CAUTION Do not mix radial, bias belted, or bias- ply tires on your vehicle. It can cause dangerous handling characteristics, resulting in loss of control. See “If you have a flat tire” in Section 4 for tire change procedure. Do not use tires or wheels other than the manufacturer’s mended size. recom- Toyota recommends all four tires, or at least both front or rear tires be replaced as a set. Vehicles with compact spare tire When rotating tires, check for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tire pressure, improper wheel alignment, out- of- balance wheels, or severe braking. See “If you have a flat tire” in Section 4 for tire change procedure. CAUTION When a tire is replaced, the wheel should always be balanced. Do not include a compact spare tire when rotating the tires. It is designed for temporary use only. An unbalanced wheel may affect vehicle handling and tire life. Wheels can get out of balance with regular use and should therefore be balanced occasionally. When replacing a tubeless tire, the air valve should also be replaced with a new one. Vehicles without compact spare tire 212 2000 Corolla(U) Installing snow tires and chains WHEN TO CHAINS USE SNOW TIRES OR CAUTION Snow tires or chains are recommended when driving on snow or ice. Do not drive with the snow tires On wet or dry roads, conventional tires provide better traction than snow tires. Never drive over 120 km/h (75 mph) incorrectly inflated. with any type of snow tires. SNOW TIRE SELECTION If you need snow tires, select the same size, construction and load capacity as the original tires on your Toyota. Do not use tires other than those mentioned above. Do not install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restrictions. SNOW TIRE INSTALLATION Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. Installing snow tires on the front wheels only can lead to an excessive difference in road grip capability between the front and rear tires which could cause loss of vehicle control. When storing removed tires you should store them in a cool dry place. Mark the direction of rotation and be sure to install them in the same direction when replacing. If wheel covers are used, they will be scratched by the chain band,so remove the covers before putting on the chains. TIRE CHAIN SELECTION CAUTION Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) or the chain manufacturer’s recommended speed limit, whichever is lower. Use the tire chains of correct size and type. Drive Use SAE Class “S” type radial tire chains except radial cable chains or V- bar type chains. Avoid sharp turns or locked- wheel Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary according to location or type of road, so always check them before installing chains. NOTICE CHAIN INSTALLATION Install the chains on the front tires as tightly as possible. Do not use tire chains on the rear tires. Retighten chains after driving 0.5—1.0 km (1/4—1/2 mile). carefully avoiding bumps, holes, and sharp turns, which may cause the vehicle to bounce. braking, as use of chains may adversely affect vehicle handling. Do not attempt to use a tire chain on the compact spare tire, as it may result in damage to the vehicle as well as the tire. When installing chains on your tires, carefully follow the instructions of the chain manufacturer. 213 2000 Corolla(U) Replacing wheels WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR WHEELS If you have wheel damage such as bending, cracks or heavy corrosion, the wheel should be replaced. If you fail to replace damaged wheels, the tire may slip off the wheel or cause loss of handling control. WHEEL SELECTION When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that the wheels are replaced by ones with the same load capacity, diameter, rim width, and offset. This must be observed on compact spare tires, too. Correct replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer. A wheel of a different size or type may adversely affect handling, wheel and bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odometer calibration, stopping ability, headlight aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tire or snow chain clearance to the body and chassis. 214 Replacement with used wheels is not recommended as they may have been subjected to rough treatment or high mileage and could fail without warning. Also, bent wheels which have been straightened may have structural damage and therefore should not be used. Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire. Aluminum wheel precautions After driving your vehicle the first 1600 km (1000 miles), check that the wheel nuts are tight. If you have changed your wheel nuts are 1600 km (1000 rotated, repaired, or tires, check that the still tight after driving miles). When using tire chains, be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels. Use only the Toyota wheel nuts and wrench designed for wheels. your aluminum When balancing your wheels, use only Toyota balance weights or equivalent and a plastic or rubber hammer. As with any wheel, periodically check your aluminum wheels for damage. If damaged, replace immediately. 2000 Corolla(U) SECTION 7- 3 DO- IT- YOURSELF MAINTENANCE Electrical components Checking battery condition . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Only do a slow charge (5A or less). Charging at a quicker rate is dangerous. The battery may explode, causing personal injuries. NOTICE Never recharge the battery while the engine is running. Also, be sure all accessories are turned off. 217 2000 Corolla(U) Checking and replacing fuses Type A fuses can be pulled out by the pull- out tool. The location of the pull- out tool is shown in the illustration. Type A If you are not sure whether the fuse has blown, try replacing the suspected fuse with one that you know is good. If the fuse has blown, push a new fuse into the clip. Good Only install a fuse with the amperage rating designated on the fuse box lid. Blown Type B If the headlights or other electrical components do not work, check the fuses. If any of the fuses are blown, they must be replaced. Good Blown Type C Turn the ignition switch and inoperative component off. Pull a suspected fuse straight out and check it. Good 218 See “Fuse locations” in Section 7- 1 for locations of the fuses. Blown Determine which fuse may be causing the problem. The lid of the fuse box shows the name of the circuit for each fuse. See Section 8 of this manual for the functions controlled by each circuit. If you do not have a spare fuse, in an emergency you can pull out the “FOG” or “S- HTR” fuse, which may be dispensable for normal driving, and use it if its amperage rating is the same. If you cannot use one of the same amperage, use one that is lower, but as close as possible to, the rating. If the amperage is lower than that specified, the fuse might blow out again but this does not indicate anything wrong. Be sure to get the correct fuse as soon as possible and return the substitute to its original clip. It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep them in your vehicle for emergencies. 2000 Corolla(U) If the new fuse immediately blows out, there is a problem with the electrical system. Have your Toyota dealer correct it as soon as possible. CAUTION Never use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, or any other object, in place of a fuse. This may cause extensive damage and possibly a fire. Adding washer fluid Replacing light bulbs— If any washer does not work or low windshield washer fluid level warning light comes on, the washer tank may be empty. Add washer fluid. The following illustrations show how to gain access to the bulbs. When replacing a bulb, make sure the ignition switch and light switch are off. Use bulbs with the wattage ratings given in the table. You may use plain water as washer fluid. However, in cold areas where temperatures range below freezing point, use washer fluid containing antifreeze. This product is available at your Toyota dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for how much to mix with water. NOTICE Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute because it may damage your vehicle’s paint. CAUTION Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and require special handling. They can burst or shatter if scratched or dropped. Hold a bulb only by its plastic or metal case. Do not touch the glass part of a bulb with bare hands.
