06 04.25 Brake pad wear limit indicators Rear step bumper Limited- slip differential Some Toyotas are equipped with a limited- slip differential. If one of the rear wheels begins 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. LS20007 LS20010 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 result in serious injury. 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. The rear step bumper is for rear end protection and easier step- up loading. CAUTION 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. D Do not allow more than one person to get on the rear step bumper at a time. It is designed for only one person. D Never drive the vehicle with anyone on the rear step bumper. D Do not stand on the rear step bumper while the vehicle is moving. 2006 TACOMA from Jan.'06 Prod. (OM35871U) 281
