INTRODUCTION CAUTION D When the engine is running, keep hands, clothing, and tools away from the moving fan and engine drive belt. (Removing rings, watches, and ties is advisable.) D Right after driving, the engine compartment − the engine, radiator and exhaust manifold, etc. − will be hot. So be careful not to touch them. Oil and other fluids may also be hot. D Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper or rags, in the engine compartment. D Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open flames around fuel or the battery. Their fumes are flammable. D Do not get under your vehicle with just the body jack supporting it. Always use automotive jack stands or other solid supports. D Be sure the engine switch is off if you work near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille. With the engine switch on, the electric cooling fan may automatically start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or if the coolant temperature is high. D Use eye protection whenever you work on or under your vehicle where you may be exposed to flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. D Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid. 514 NOTICE D Remember that battery and ignition cables carry high currents or voltages. Be careful of accidentally causing a short circuit. D Add only "Toyota Super Long Life Coolant" or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non−silicate, non−amine, non−nitrite, and non−borate coolant with long−life hybrid organic acid technology to fill the radiator. "Toyota Super Long Life Coolant" is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deionized water (for the U.S.A.) or 55% coolant and 45% deionized water (for Canada). D If you spill some of the coolant, be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging the parts or paint. D Before closing the engine hood, check to see that you have not forgotten any tools, rags, etc. D Do not drive with the air cleaner removed, or excessive engine wear could result. Also backfiring could cause a fire in the engine compartment. D Be careful not to scratch the glass surface with the wiper frame.
