NOTICE
z Remember that battery and ignition
cables carry high currents or volt-
ages. Be careful of accidentally
causing a short circuit.
z 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. And if you spill some of
the coolant, be sure to wash it off
with water to prevent it from dam-
aging the parts or paint.
z Do not allow dirt or anything else
to fall through the plug holes.
z Do not pry the outer electrode of a
spark plug against the center elec-
trode.
z Use only spark plugs of the speci-
fied type. Using other types will
cause engine damage, loss of per-
formance or radio noise.
z Do not reuse iridium−tipped spark
plugs by cleaning or regapping.
z Do not overfill automatic transmis-
sion fluid, transfer oil and power
steering fluid, or the transmission,
transfer and power steering could
be damaged.
z Do not drive with the air cleaner
filter removed, or excessive engine
wear could result. Also backfiring
could cause a fire in the engine
compartment.
z Be careful not to scratch the glass
surface with the wiper frame.
z When closing the engine
check to see that you have not for-
gotten any tools, rags, etc.
