Fitment is the whole point here: the 2010 Toyota Matrix left the factory with two different four-cylinders, the 1.8L (2ZR-FE) and the 2.4L (2AZ-FE), and this factory service and repair manual is tied to the year, engine and trim you actually own, so every clearance and tightening sequence in it is what Toyota specified for that exact combination rather than a number that only roughly applies.

Known issues on the 2010 Matrix. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the accelerator pedal, which can get stuck in the wide open position; a stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make the vehicle difficult to stop. A second covers the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module, where an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants. The other two are labeling non-compliances with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110 on tire selection and rims: one from Southeast Toyota, where a driver may overload a vehicle and increase the risk of a crash, and one from Gulf States Toyota, whose label does not meet the standard requirements. NHTSA has 55 owner complaints on record for the year, and Toyota has issued 98 technical service bulletins.
Whether you are chasing a throttle or pedal complaint, inspecting the passenger air bag module, or simply working a service interval on either four-cylinder, it keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the correct figure for your 2010 Matrix.
