z Remember that battery and ignition
cables carry high currents or volt-
ages. Be careful of accidentally
causing a short circuit.

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% deion-
ized water. If you spill some of the
coolant, be sure to wash it off with
water to prevent it from damaging
the parts or paint.

to fall through the spark plug holes.
z Use only spark plugs of the speci-
fied type. Using other types will
cause engine damage, loss of per-
formance or radio noise.

sion fluid and power steering fluid,
or the transmission and
steering could be damaged.
