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. "Toyota Super Long Life
Coolant" is a mixture of 50% cool-
ant and 50% deionized water.
z If you spill some of the coolant, be
sure to wash it off with water to
prevent it from damaging the parts
or paint.
z Do not allow dirt or anything else
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.
z Do not overfill automatic transmis-
sion fluid and power steering fluid,
or the transmission and
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.

surface with the wiper frame.
