Luggage
stowage
precautions
When stowing cargo and luggage in
the
vehicle, observe
the
following:
• Put cargo and luggage in
the
rear deck
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.
Lt
CAUTION
•
Never
allow
anyone
to
ride
in
the
rear
deck
area
other
than
on
the
seats.
It
is
not
designed
for
passen-
gers.
They
should
ride
in
their
seats
with
their
seat
belts
properly
fastened.
Otherwise,
they
are
much
more
likely
to
suffer
death
or

ous
bodily
injury,
in
the
event
of
sudden
braking
or
a
collision.
• Do
not
drive
with
objects
left
on
top
of
the
instrument
panel.
They
may
interfere
with
the
driver's
field
of
view.
Or
they
may
move
during
sharp
vehicle
acceleration
or
turn-
ing,
and
impair
the
driver's
control
of
the
vehicle.
In an
accident
they
may
injure
the
vehicle
occupants.

The
rear
step
bumper
is
for
rear
end
protection
and

& CAUTION
•
Do
not
allow
more

Limited-slip
differential
(on
some
models)
Some Toyotas are equipped with a limit-
ed-slip
differential.
If
one rear wheel be-
gins
to
spin,
the
limited-slip
differential is
designed to aid
traction
by automatically
transmitting
driving
force
to
the other rear
wheel. If you are not sure whether
your
vehicle
is equipped with one, you can ask
your
Toyota dealer.
& CAUTION
Do
not
start
or
run
the
engine
while
your
vehicle
is
supported
by
a
jack.
The
vehicle
could
be
driven
off
the
jack
and
could
pose
a
danger
or
re-
sult
in
serious
injury.
NOTICE
Use
only
a
spare
tire
of
the
same
size,
construction
and
load
capacity
as
the
original
tires
on
your
Toyota
because
damage
to
the
limited-slip
differential
could
possibly
occur
with
another
tire
type.
