A word about safe vehicle operations

This Pocket Reference Guide is a summary of

basic vehicle operations. It contains brief

descriptions of fundamental operations so you

can locate and use the vehicle’s main

equipment quickly and easily.

The Pocket Reference Guide is not intended

as a substitute for the Owner’s Manual

located in your vehicle’s glove box. We

strongly encourage you to review the Owner’s

Manual and supplementary manuals so you

will have a better understanding of your

vehicle’s capabilities and limitations.

Your dealership and the entire staff of Toyota

Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. wish you many years

of satisfied driving in your new Tacoma.

This Pocket Reference Guide is not a full

description of Tacoma operations. Every

Tacoma owner should review the Owner’s

Manual that accompanies this vehicle.

Pay special attention to the boxed

“ ” information highlighted in

this reference guide and throughout the

Owner’s Manual. Each box contains safe

operating instructions to help you avoid

injury or equipment malfunction.

All information in this Pocket Reference

Guide is current at the time of printing.

Toyota reserves the right to make changes

at any time without notice.

This vehicle will handle and maneuver

differently from an ordinary passenger car

because it is also designed for off-road use. It

has a significantly higher rollover rate than

other types of vehicles. Refer to the Owner’s

Manual for important rollover information.

Moving the lever to “LOCK” will allow the door to

be opened only from the outside.
