Introducing Celica
Congratulations on selecting a new
Celica!
Now you can begin enjoying this outstanding vehicle
immediately with this brief guide to basic vehicle
operations.
This brief guide contains a summary description of
basic operations so that you can locate and use the
vehicle’s main equipment and features, quickly and
easily.
This brief guide does not replace or substitute the
Owner’s Manual which you will find in the vehicle’s
glove compartment. It is important that you review
the full Owner’s Manual as well as any further
supplementary manuals. This will allow you to
familiarise yourself with the operating and safety
instructions and to handle the vehicle within its
limitations.
Your dealership and the entire staff of Toyota wish
you many years of enjoyable driving in your new
Celica.
