WARNING
■Make sure the mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub and lug nuts
are clean before changing or replacing tires
When changing or replacing a tire, not removing dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub and hub bolts is dangerous. The
lug nuts could loosen while driving and cause the tire to come off, result-
ing in an accident.
■Do not apply oil or grease to lug nuts and bolts and do not tighten
the lug nuts beyond the recommended tightening torque
Applying oil or grease to lug nuts and bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts
could loosen while driving and cause the tire to come off, resulting in an
accident. In addition, lug nuts and bolts could be damaged if tightened
more than necessary.
■Always securely and correctly tighten the lug nuts
Improperly or loosely tightened lug nuts are dangerous. The wheel
could wobble or come off. This could result in loss of vehicle control and
cause a serious accident.
■Be sure to reinstall the same nuts you removed or replace them
with metric nuts of the same configuration
Because the wheel studs and lug nuts on your Toyota have metric
threads, using a non-metric nut is dangerous. On a metric stud, it would
not secure the wheel and would damage the stud, which could cause
the wheel to slip off and cause an accident.
■Do not drive with any tires that have incorrect air pressure
Driving on tires with incorrect air pressure is dangerous. Tires with
incorrect pressure could affect handling and result in an accident. When
you check the regular tires’ air pressure, check the spare tire, too.

Jump-Starting
Jump-starting is dangerous if done incorrectly. So follow the proce-
dure carefully. If you feel unsure about jump-starting, we strongly rec-
ommend that you have a competent service technician do the work.Remove the battery cover.
Make sure the booster battery is 12 V and that its negative terminal
is grounded.
If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow both vehi-
cles to touch. Turn off the engine of the vehicle with the booster bat-
tery and all unnecessary electrical loads in both vehicles.

Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence as in the illustra-
tion.
Connect one end of a cable to the positive terminal on the dis-
charged battery.
Attach the other end to the positive terminal on the booster bat-
tery.
Connect one end of the other cabl e to the negative terminal of
the booster battery.
Connect the other end to the ground point indicated in the illus-
tration away from the discharged battery.
Start the engine of the booster v ehicle and run it a few minutes.
Then start the engine of the other vehicle.
When finished, carefully disconnect the cables in the reverse order
described in the illustration.
If the battery cover has been removed, install it in the reverse order
of removal.
Verify that the covers are securely installed.

WARNING
■ Follow These Precautions Carefully
To ensure safe and correct handling of the battery, read the following pre-
cautions carefully before using the battery or inspecting it.
■ Do not allow the positive (+) term inal to contact any other metal
object that could cause sparks
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas,
produced during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the bat-
tery to explode. An exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries.
When working near a battery, do not allow metal tools to contact the positive
(+) or negative (-) terminal of the battery.
■ Keep all flames, including cigarettes, and sparks away from
open battery cells
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas,
produced during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the bat-
tery to explode. An exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries.
■ Do not jump-start a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level
Jump-starting a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level is dangerous. It
may rupture or explode, causing serious injury.
■ Connect the negative cable to a good ground point away from the bat-
tery
Connecting the end of the second jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal
of the discharged battery is dangerous.
A spark could cause the gas around the battery to explode and injure some-
one.
■ Route the jumper cables away fr om parts that will be moving
Connecting a jumper cable near or to moving parts (cooling fans, belts) is
dangerous. The cable could get caught when the engine starts and cause
serious injury.
NOTICE
Use only a 12 V booster system. You can damage a 12 V starter, ignition
system, and other electrical parts beyond repair with a 24 V power supply
(two 12 V batteries in series or a 24 V motor generator set).

6-4. Emergency Starting
Starting a Flooded Engine
Follow this procedure:If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try, wait
ten seconds and try again.
Make sure the parking brake is on.
Depress the accelerator all the way and hold it there.
Depress the clutch pedal (Manual transaxle) or the brake pedal
(Automatic transaxle), then pres s the push button start. If the
engine starts, release the accele rator immediately because the
engine will suddenly rev up.
If the engine fails to start, crank it without depressing the accelera-
tor.
If the engine still does not start using the above procedure, have your
vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
If the engine fails to start, it may be flooded (excessive fuel in
the engine).

If Trouble Arises
Push-Starting
Do not push-start your Toyota.
You cannot start a vehicle with an automatic transaxle by pushing it.
WARNING
■Never tow a vehicle to start it
Towing a vehicle to start it is dangerous. The vehicle being towed could
surge forward when its engine starts, causing the two vehicles to collide.
The occupants could be injured.
NOTICE
Do not push-start a vehicle that has a manual transaxle. It can damage the
emission control system.

6-5. Overheating
Overheating
If the high engine coolant temperature warning light turns on:Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
Put a vehicle with an automatic tr ansaxle in park (P), a manual tran-
saxle in neutral.
Apply the parking brake.
Turn off the air conditioner.
Check whether coolant or steam is escaping from the engine com-
partment.
If steam is coming from the engine compartment
Do not go near the front of the vehicle. Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then open the hood and start the
engine.
If neither coolant nor steam is escaping
Open the hood and idle the engine until it cools.
Make sure the cooling fan is operating, then turn off the engine after
the temperature has decreased.
When cool, check the coolant level.
If it is low, look for coolant leaks from the radiator and hoses.
■If you find a leak or other damage , or if coolant is still leaking:
Stop the engine and call your Toyota dealer.
Cooling fan
Cooling system cap
Coolant reservoir
If the high engine coolant temperature warning light turns on,
the vehicle loses power, or you hear a loud knocking or pinging
noise, the engine is probably too hot.
