CAUTION
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
The battery produces flammable
and explosive hydrogen gas. Do not cause a spark from the
battery with tools.
Do not smoke or light a match
near the battery.
The electrolyte contains poison-
ous and corrosive sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or
clothes.
Never ingest electrolyte.
Wear protective safety glasses
when working near the battery.
Keep children away from the
battery.
EMERGENCY MEASURES If electrolyte gets in your eyes,
flush your eyes with clean wa-
ter immediately and get immedi-
ate medical attention. If pos-
sible, continue to apply water
with a sponge or cloth while en
route to the medical office.
If electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the contact
area. If you feel pain or burn-
ing, get medical attention im-
mediately.
If electrolyte gets on your
clothes, there is a possibility of
its soaking through to your
skin, so immediately take off
the exposed clothing and follow
the procedure above, if neces-
sary.
If you happen to swallow elec-
trolyte, drink a large quantity of
water or milk. Follow with milk
of magnesia, beaten raw egg or
vegetable oil. Then go immedi-
ately for emergency help.

NOTICE
Never recharge the battery while
the engine is running. Also, besure all accessories are turnedoff.
Checking and replacing
fuses

4RUNNER (1998)
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work, check the
fuses. If any of the fuses are blown,
they must be replaced.
See ºFuse locationsº in Chapter 7- 1
for locations of the fuses.
Turn the ignition switch and inop-
erative component off. Pull a sus-
pected fuse straight out and check it.
Determine which fuse may be causing
the problem. The lid of the fuse box
shows the name of the circuit for
each fuse. See Part 8 of this manual
for the functions controlled by each
circuit. Type A fuses can be pulled out by
using the pull- out tool. The location of
the pull- out tool is shown in the il-
lustration.
If you are not sure whether the fuse
has blown, try replacing the suspected
fuse with one that you know is good.
If the fuse has blown, push a new
fuse into the clip.
Only install a fuse with the amperage
rating designated on the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in
an emergency you can pull out the
ºDOMEº or ºA/Cº fuse, which may be
dispensable for normal driving, and
use it if its amperage rating is the
same.If you cannot use one of the same
amperage, use one that is lower, but
as close as possible to the rating. If
the amperage is lower than that speci-
fied, the fuse might blow out again but
this does not indicate anything wrong.
Be sure to get the correct fuse as
soon as possible and return the sub-
stitute to its original clip.
It is a good idea to purchase a set
of spare fuses and keep them in your
vehicle for emergencies.
