CAUTION
"
When the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, and tools away
from the moving fan and engine
drive
belts. (Removing rings,
watches, and ties is advisable.)
"
Right after driving, the engine
compartment—the engine, radiator,
exhaust manifold, power steering
fluid
reservoir and spark plug
boots, etc.—will be hot. So be care-
ful not to touch them. Oil, fluids
and spark plugs may also be hot.
"
If the engine is hot, do not remove
the radiator cap or loosen the drain
plugs to prevent burning yourself.
"
Do not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper or rags,
in the engine compartment.
"
Do not smoke, cause sparks or al-
low open flames around fuel or the
battery. Their fumes are flammable.
" Do not get under your vehicle with
just the body jack supporting it. Al-
ways use automotive jack stands or
other solid supports.
"
Use eye protection whenever you
work on or under your vehicle
where you may be exposed to flying
or falling material, fluid spray, etc.
"
Used engine oil contains potentially
harmful contaminants which may
cause skin disorders such as in-
flammation or skin cancer, so care
should be taken to avoid prolonged
and repeated contact with it. To re-
move used engine oil from your
skin, wash thoroughly with soap
and water.
" Do not leave used oil within the
reach of children.
"
Dispose of used oil and filter only
in a safe and acceptable manner.
Do not dispose of used oil and fil-
ter in household trash, in sewers or
onto the ground. Call your dealer or
a service station for information
concerning recycling or disposal.
"
Be extremely cautious when work-
ing on the battery. It contains poi-
sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
NOTICE
!
Remember that battery and ignition
cables carry high currents or volt-
ages. Be careful of accidentally
causing a short circuit.
!
Add only “Toyota Super Long Life
Coolant” or similar high quality eth-
ylene
glycol based non − silicate,
non − amine, non − nitrite, and non − bo-
rate coolant with long − life hybrid
organic acid technology to fill the
radiator. “Toyota Super Long Life
Coolant” is a mixture of 50% cool-
ant and 50% deionized water (for
the U.S.A.) or 55% coolant and 45%
deionized water (for Canada).
!
If you spill some of the coolant, be
sure to wash it off with water to
prevent it from damaging the parts
or paint.
!
Do not allow dirt or anything else
to fall through the spark plug holes.
!
Use only spark plugs of the speci-
fied type. Using other types will
cause engine damage, loss of per-
formance or radio noise.
