Be sure that the ignition is off if
you work near the electric cooling
fans or radiator grille. With the
ignition on, the electric cooling fans
will automatically start to run if the
engine coolant temperature is high
and/or the air conditioning is on.
Use eye protection whenever you
work on or under your vehicle
where you may be exposed to flying
or falling material, fluid spray, etc.
Used engine oil contains potentially
harmful contaminants which may
cause skin disorders such as in-
flammation or skin cancer, so care
should be taken to avoid prolonged
and repeated contact with it. To re-
move used engine oil from your
skin, wash thoroughly with soap
and water.
Do not leave used oil within the
reach of children.
Dispose of used oil and filter only
in a safe and acceptable manner.
Do not dispose of used oil and fil-
ter in household trash, in sewers or
onto the ground. Call your dealer or
a service station for information
concerning recycling or disposal.
NOTICE
Remember that battery and ignition
cables carry high currents or volt-
ages. Be careful of accidentally
causing a short circuit.
Add only demineralized or distilled
water to fill the radiator. And if you
spill some of the coolant, be sure
to wash off with water to prevent it
from damaging the parts or paint.
Do not allow dirt or anything else
to fall through the spark plugholes.
Use only spark plugs of the speci-
fied type. Using other types will
cause engine damage, loss of per-
formance or radio noise.
Do not reuse platinum±tipped spark
plugs by cleaning or regapping.
Do not overfill automatic transmis-
sion fluid, or the transmission
could be damaged.
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.
Be careful not to scratch the glass
surface with the wiper frame.
When closing the engine hood,
check to see that you have not for-
gotten any tools, rags, etc.

6. Fuel Filter
Mounted below the vehicle floor, the fuel filter re-
moves any moisture or oil from the fuel.
7. Fuel Pressure Regulator
The fuel pressure regulator regulates the fuel pressure by reducing the pressure of the compressed natural
gas from the fuel tank to the fuel injection pressure, which is 8 km/cm
2 (114 psi, 785 kPa).
Similar to the fuel shutoff valve for the fuel tank, a fuel shutoff valve is provided on the fuel inlet side
of the fuel pressure regulator to shut off the supply of fuel when the engine is stopped or during abnormal
conditions.
An oil separator that traps the moisture and oil in the fuel is provided on the low pressure side.
A built-in relief valve is provided to protect the parts located on the low pressure side.
While the fuel pressure is being reduced by the fuel pressure regulator, the Joule-Thomson effect associat-
ed with the expansion of the gas causes the fuel pressure regulator to be cooled excessively, exerting
unfavorable influence on the rubber parts such as diaphragms and fuel hoses.
Therefore, to raise the gas temperature, a water passage is provided in the fuel pressure regulator to
allow the engine coolant to warm the regulator.

TOYOTA MAINTENANCE & REPAIR SUPPORT5

Vehicle Service Agreements
By covering the cost of repairs that are no longer covered by
warranty, a vehicle service agreement protects you from unex-
pected repair costs down the road. Many service agreements
also cover services such as towing and car rental that minimize
the inconvenience of a mechanical breakdown.
Through Genuine Toyota Financial Services, Toyota offers
service agreement plans to meet the needs of almost every
customer. Under these plans, repairs are made only by autho-
rized Toyota dealerships using Genuine Toyota Parts. This
means you always get original- equipment quality installed
by factory- trained technicians.
Your Toyota dealer can help you select the service agreement
plan that’s best for you. Be sure to request a plan from Genuine
Toyota Financial Services to get the highest level of quality,
service and peace of mind.
Pre-Paid Maintenance
An excellent way to ensure that your Toyota receives regular
maintenance — and to protect yourself from increases in vehicle
service costs — is to pay for maintenance services in advance.
Toyota offers pre- paid maintenance plans for both new and
used vehicles. Both plans cover oil- and- filter changes, lubrica-
tion of key chassis parts and a 19- point vehicle inspection. The
plans also include 24- hour roadside assistance, timed service
reminders and a computerized history of each service visit.
To meet differing customer needs, Toyota’s pre- paid mainte-
nance plans offer a variety of options for service intervals and
coverage length. Ask your Toyota dealer to help you select the
options that are best for you.

Determining Your Vehicle’s Maintenance Needs

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE LOGS21 Brake Linings/Drums and Brake Pads/Discs
Check the brake linings (shoes) and drums for scoring, burning,
fluid leakage, broken parts and excessive wear. Check the pads for
excessive wear and the discs for runout, excessive wear and fluid
leakage. A qualified technician should perform these inspections.
Charcoal Canister (CA, MA and NY vehicles)
Check for internal damage and clogging. If necessary, clean
with compressed air or replace. A qualified technician should
perform these operations.
Differential Oil
Inspect each component for signs of leakage. If you discover any
leakage, have it repaired by a qualified technician immediately.
Drive Belts
Inspect for cracks, excessive wear and oiliness. Check the belt ten-
sion and adjust if necessary. Replace the belts if they are damaged.
Drive Shaft Boots
Check the drive shaft boots and clamps for cracks, deteriora-
tion and damage. Replace any damaged parts and, if necessary,
repack the grease. Selected models also require periodic inspec-
tion of the flange bolts for proper torque. A qualified technician
should perform these operations.
Engine Air Filter
Check for damage, excessive wear and oiliness. Replace if necessary.
Engine Coolant
Drain and flush the cooling system and refill with an ethylene-
glycol type coolant. A qualified technician should perform
this operation.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Change the oil filter and replace the engine oil with API SH,
Energy- Conserving II multigrade or ILSAC multigrade oil.
For recommended viscosity, refer to your
Owner’s Manual.
