DO−IT−YOURSELF MAINTENANCE: Introduction185
If you perform maintenance by yourself,
be sure to follow the correct procedure
given in this Section.
You should be aware that improper or in-
complete servicing may result in operating
problems.
This Section gives instructions only for
those items that are relatively easy for an
owner to perform. As explained in Section
6, there are still a number of items that
must be done by a qualified technician
with special tools.
Utmost care should be taken when work-
ing on your vehicle to prevent accidental
injury. Here are a few precautions that
you should be especially careful to ob-
serve:
CAUTION
DWhen the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, and tools away
from the moving fan and engine
drive belts. (Removing rings,
watches, and ties is advisable.)
DRight after driving, the engine
compartment—the engine, radiator,
exhaust manifold and power steer-
ing fluid reservoir, etc.—will be hot.
So be careful not to touch them.
Oil and fluids may also be hot.
DIf the engine is hot, do not remove
the radiator cap or loosen the drain
plugs to prevent burning yourself.
DDo not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper or rags,
in the engine compartment.
DDo not smoke, cause sparks or al-
low open flames around fuel or the
battery. Their fumes are flammable.
DBe extremely cautious when work-
ing on the battery. It contains poi-
sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
DDo not get under your vehicle with
just the body jack supporting it. Al-
ways use automotive jack stands or
other solid supports.
DBe sure that the engine switch is
off if you work near the electric
cooling fans. With the engine
switch on, the electric cooling fans
will automatically start to run if the
engine coolant temperature is high
and/or the air conditioning is on.
DUse eye protection whenever you
work on or under your vehicle
where you may be exposed to flying
or falling material, fluid spray, etc.
DUsed 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.
DDo not leave used oil within the
reach of children.
DDispose 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.
DTake care when filling the brake and
clutch fluid reservoirs because
brake fluid can harm your hands or
eyes. If fluid gets on your hands or
in your eyes, flush the affected area
with clean water immediately. If you
still feel uncomfortable with your
hands or eyes, go to the doctor.

186DO−IT−YOURSELF MAINTENANCE: Introduction
NOTICE
zRemember that battery cables carry
high currents. Be careful of acci-
dentally causing a short circuit.
zAdd only “Toyota Super Long Life
Coolant” or similar high quality eth-
ylene glycol based non−silicate,
non−amine, non−nitrite, and non−bo-
rate coolant with long−life hybrid
organic acid technology to fill the
radiator. “Toyota Super Long Life
Coolant” is a mixture of 50% cool-
ant and 50% deionized water.
zIf you spill some of the coolant, be
sure to wash it off with water to
prevent it from damaging the parts
or paint.
zDo not overfill power steering fluid,
or the power steering could be
damaged.
zIf you spill brake fluid, be sure to
wash it off with water to prevent it
from damaging the parts or paint.
zDo not drive with the air cleaner
filter removed, or excessive engine
wear could result.
zBe careful not to scratch the glass
surface with the wiper frame.
zWhen closing the engine access
hole cover or lowering the cab,
check to see that you have not for-
gotten any tools, rags, etc.

192DO−IT−YOURSELF MAINTENANCE: Engine and Chassis
If any of the above parts are extremely
dirty or you are not sure of their condi-
tion, take your vehicle to any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
CAUTION
To prevent burning yourself, be care-
ful not to touch the radiator, con-
denser and intercooler when the en-
gine is hot.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the radiator,
condenser and intercooler, do not per-
formtheworkbyyourself.
When the fuel filter warning light
comes on, the water in the fuel filter
must be drained immediately.
Place a small tray under the drain plug to
catch the water.
1. Turn the drain plug about 2—2−1/2
turns, as shown above. (Loosening
more than this will cause water oozing
from around the drain plug.)
2. Operate the priming pump until fuel be-
gins to run out.
After draining, retighten the drain plug. Do
not use a tool.
