When trouble arises
■When replacing the battery
● Use a battery that conforms to European regulations.
● Use a battery that the case size is same as the previous one (LN2), 20 hour
rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent (60Ah) or greater, and performance rating
(CCA) is equivalent (356A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehicle
is not used is a short time, the battery may discharge and the engine may
not be able to start.
● For details, consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer
WARNING
■ Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-
mable gas that may be emitted from the battery:
● Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that
it is not unintentionally in contact with anything other than the intended ter-
minal.
● Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” termi-
nal to come into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area,
such as brackets or unpainted metal.
● Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact
with each other.
● Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near
the battery.

WARNING
■Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while
related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following pre-
cautions when handling the battery:
● When working with the battery, always wear safety glasses and take care
not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing
or the vehicle body.
● Do not lean over the battery.
● In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes,
immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention
can be received.
● Always wash your hands after handling the battery support, terminals, and
other battery-related parts.
● Do not allow children near the battery.

gled in the cooling fans or engine drive belt.

leaks, immediately contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or

When trouble arises
Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.
Do not open as coolant may over-
flow when “A” is opened.
Start the engine and turn the air conditioning system on to check
that the radiator cooling fan operates and to check for coolant leaks
from the radiator or hoses.
The fan operates when the air conditioning system is turned on immedi-
ately after a cold start. Confirm that the fan is operating by checking the fan
sound and air flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the air conditioning
system on and off repeatedly.
(The fan may not operate in freezing temperatures.)
If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

WARNING
■To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
● If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
● Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from
the fan and belts while the engine is operating.
● Do not loosen the radiator cap, the engine coolant filler cap or the inter-
cooler coolant reservoir cap while the engine and radiator are hot.
NOTICE
■ When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine has cooled down sufficiently. Adding
cool coolant to a hot engine too quickly can cause damage to the engine.
■ To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions.
● Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust
etc.).
● Do not use any coolant additives.
