Checking the radiator and
condenser
If any of the above parts are extremely
dirty or you are not sure of their condi-
tion, take your vehicle to Toyota dealer.
&
CAUTION
To prevent yourself from burning, be
careful not to touch the radiator or
condenser when the engine is hot.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the radiator
and condenser, do not perform the
work by yourself.

When the fuel filter warning light and
buzzer come on, the water in the fuel
filter must be drained immediately.
Place a small tray under the drain plug to
catch the water.
1. Turn the drain plug about 2-2-1/2
turns, as shown above. (Loosening
more than this will cause water oozing
from around the drain plug.)
2. Operate the priming pump until fuel be-
gins to run out.
After draining, retighten the drain plug. Do
not use a tool.
Checking tire pressure
Keep your tire pressures at the proper
level.
The recommended cold tire pressures and
tire sizes are given in Section 8.
You should check the tire pressures every
two weeks, or at least once a month. And
don't forget the spare!
Incorrect tire pressure can reduce tire
life and make your vehicle less safe to
drive.
Low tire pressure results in excessive
wear, poor handling, reduced fuel econo-
my, and the possibility of blowouts from
overheated tires. Also, low tire pressure
can cause poor sealing of the tire bead.
If the tire pressure is excessively low,
there is the possibility of wheel deforma-
tion and/or tire separation.
High tire pressure produces a harsh ride,
handling problems, excessive wear at the
center of the tire tread, and a greater
possibility of tire damage from road haz-
ards.
If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it
checked by your Toyota dealer.
