2014 TOYOTA DYNA 100/150 Owners Manual (in English)

STARTING AND DRIVING139
DMaintain a moderate speed on high-
ways.The faster you drive, the greater
the fuel consumption. By reducing your
speed, you will cut down on fuel con-
sumption.
DKeep the front wheels in proper
alignment.Avoid hitting the curb and
slow down on rough roads. Improper
alignment not only causes faster tire
wear but also puts an extra load on
the engine, which, in turn, wastes fuel.
DKeep the bottom of your vehicle free
from mud, etc.This not only lessens
weight but also helps prevent corro-
sion.
DKeep your vehicle tuned−up and in
top shape.A dirty air cleaner, carbure-
tor out of adjustment, improper valve
clearance, dirty plugs, dirty oil and
grease, brakes not adjusted, etc. all
lower engine performance and contrib-
ute to poor fuel economy. For longer
life of all parts and lower operating
costs, keep all maintenance work on
schedule, and if you often drive under
severe conditions, see that your vehicle
receives more frequent maintenance.
CAUTION
Never turn off the engine to coast
down hills. Your power steering and
brake booster will not function with-
out the engine running. Also, the
emission control system operates
properly only when the engine is run-
ning.

142IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
Before making these checks, make sure
you have followed the correct starting pro-
cedure given in “How to start the engine”
on page 124 in Section 3 and that you
have sufficient fuel.
If the engine is not turning over or is
turning over too slowly—
1. Check that the battery terminals are
tight and clean.
2. If the battery terminals are O.K., switch
on the interior light.
3. If the light is out, dim or goes out
when the starter is cranked, the battery
is discharged. You may try jump start-
ing. See “(c) Jump starting” on page
143 for further instructions.
If the light is O.K., but the engine still will
not start, it needs adjustment or repair.
Call any authorized Toyota dealer or re-
pairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
NOTICE
Do not pull−or push−start the ve-
hicle. It may damage the vehicle or
cause a collision when the engine
starts. Also, the catalytic converter
may overheat and become a fire haz-
ard.
If the engine turns over at its normal
speed but will not start—
1. If you are starting the engine that has
died from an empty tank, you may
have needed to bleed the fuelsystem
before cranking the engine. See “(b)
Bleeding the fuelsystem” onpage 142
for further instructions.
2. If the fuel system is O.K., but the
engine still will not start, it needs ad-
justment or repair. Call any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped profession-
al, for assistance.
If you run out of fuel and the engine
dies, the engine may not restart after
refueling. In such case, operate the
priming pump until you feel more resis-
tance.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY143
To avoid serious injury and damage to
your vehicle which might result from
battery explosion, acid burns, electrical
burns, or damaged electronic compo-
nents, these instructions must be fol-
lowed precisely.
If you are unsure about how to follow this
procedure, we strongly recommend that
you seek the help of a competent me-
chanic or towing service.
CAUTION
DBatteries contain sulfuric acid
which is poisonous and corrosive.
Wear protective safety glasses when
jump starting, and avoid spilling
acid on your skin, clothing, or ve-
hicle.
DIf you should accidentally get acid
on yourself or in your eyes, remove
any contaminated clothing and flush
the affected area with water imme-
diately. Then get immediate medical
attention. If possible, continue to
apply water with a sponge or cloth
while en route to the medical office.
DThe gas normally produced by a
battery will explode if a flame or
spark is brought near. Use only
standardized jumper cables and do
not smoke or light a match while
jump starting.
NOTICE
The battery used for boosting must
be 12 V. Do not jump start unless you
are sure that the booster battery is
correct.
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
1. If your vehicle is equipped with the
battery cover, remove it.
2. If the booster battery is installed in
another vehicle, make sure the vehicles
are not touching. Turn off all unneces-
sary lights and accessories.
When boosting, use the battery of
matching or higher quality. Any other
battery may be difficult to jump start
with.
If jump starting is difficult, charge the
battery for several minutes.
3. If the engine in the vehicle with the
booster battery is not running, start it
and let it run for a few minutes. During
jump starting, run the engine at about
2000 rpm with the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed.

Connecting point
Do not connect the cable to or near
any part that moves when the engine
is cranked.
CAUTION
When making the connections, to
avoid death or serious injury, do not
lean over the battery or accidentally
let the jumper cables or clamps touch
anything except the correct battery
terminals or the ground.
5. Charge the discharged battery with the
jumper cable connected for approxi-
mately 5 minutes. At this time, run the
engine in the vehicle with the booster
battery at about 2000 rpm with the ac-
celerator pedal lightly depressed.
6. Start your engine in the normal way.
After starting, run it at about 2000 rpm
for several minutes with the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed.
7. Carefully disconnect the cables in the
exact reverse order: the negative cable
and then the positive cable.
8. If your vehicle is equipped with the
battery cover, install it.If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent (for example, lights left on),
you should have it checked at any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
If the first start attempt is not success-
ful...
Check that the clamp on the jumper
cables are tight. Recharge the discharged
battery with the jumper cables connected
for several minutes and restart your en-
gine in the normal way.
If the another attempt is not successful,
the battery may be depleted. Have it ch-
ecked at any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
