RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may move
suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death or seri-
ous injury, observe the following precautions.
⬛When working on the engine compartment
⚫Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan and engine drive
belt.
⚫Be careful not to touch the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc., right
after driving as they may be hot. O il and other fluids may also be hot.
⚫Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and rags, in the
engine compartment.
⚫Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the battery.
Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.
⚫Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid.
⚫Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage
painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the
affected area with cl ean water immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, consult a doctor.
⬛When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the engine switch is in off.
With the engine switch in “ON”, the elect ric cooling fan may automatically start
to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is high.
( ➞ P. 320)
⬛Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from
getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
⬛If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear
due to dirt in the air.
⬛If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear
or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious problem.

ble materials may lead to a vehicle fire.
If you notice a burning smell from th e engine compartment while driving,
immediately stop at a safe place and contact your Toyota dealer.

⬛Adding engine oil
If the oil level is below or near the low level mark, add engine oil of the
same type as that already in the engine.

Make sure to check the oil type and prepare the items needed before add-
ing oil.
a Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counterclockwise.
b Add engine oil slowly, checking the dipstick.

situations, oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be
refilled in between oil maintenance intervals.
⚫When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or
after replacing the engine
⚫If low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate viscosity is used
⚫When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load, or when driving
while accelerating or decelerating frequently

⚫When the outside temperature is low, the engine oil may become white and
creamy, and it may get to the back of the oil filler cap or oil filling port.This
phenomenon takes place when water vapor in the engine is cooled, forming
water drops, which in turn are mixed wi th the engine oil. This, however, will
disappear when the water evaporates as the outside temperature gets high
or the engine warms up.The engine oil does not deteriorate due to this phe-
nomenon and there will be no problem if the engine oil is continued to be
used.
WARNING
⬛Used engine oil
⚫Used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause
skin disorders such as inflammation and skin cancer, so care should be
taken to avoid prolonged and repeated contact. To remove used engine oil
from your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
⚫Dispose of used oil and filters only in a safe and acceptable manner. Do not
dispose of used oil and filters in hous ehold trash, in sewers or onto the
ground.
Call your Toyota dealer, service stat ion or auto parts store for information
concerning recycling or disposal.
⚫Do not leave used engine oil within the reach of children.
⬛If engine oil is spilled
If oil is spilled on the alternator, wipe off the oil immediately. Oil spilled on the
alternator will cause a fire.
NOTICE
⬛To prevent serious engine damage
Observe the following precautions.
⚫Check the oil level on a regular basis.
⚫Do not use any engine oil additive.
⬛When replacing the engine oil
⚫Be careful not to spill engine oil on the vehicle components.
⚫Avoid overfilling, or the engine could be damaged.
⚫Check the oil level on the dipstick every time you refill the vehicle.
⚫Be sure the engine oil filler cap is properly tightened.
