AVENSIS_OM_OM20C79E_(EE)
WARNING
■To prevent burns or damage on your vehicle
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to your vehicle
● Do not turn the heater on and off repeatedly in 5 minute intervals as this
can shorten the life of the heater components. If the engine must be turned
on and off repeatedly within short intervals (such as when the vehicle is
being used for delivery purposes), turn the heater off.
● Do not modify or open the heater without consulting any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. This may
cause a heater malfunction or a fire.
● Be careful not to splash water or spill liquid directly on the heater or on the
heater fuel pump. This may cause the heater to malfunction.
● Keep the intake and exhaust pipes of the heater free from water, snow,
ice, mud, etc. If the pipes become clogged, this can cause the heater to
malfunction.
● If you notice anything unusual, such as a fluid leak, smoke or poor opera-
tion, turn off the heater and have your vehicle checked by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● Do not touch the heater or its exhaust
pipe as they are hot.
● Keep flammable items such as fuel
away from the heater and its exhaust
pipe. This may cause a fire.

When trouble arises
Fuel pump shut off system (gasoline
engine)
Follow the procedure below to restart the engine after the system is
activated.
Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position (vehicles
without smart entry & start system), or ACCESSORY mode or off
(vehicles with smart entry & start system).
Restart the engine.
To minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or an
airbag inflates upon collision, the fuel pump shut off system
stops supplying fuel to the engine.
NOTICE
■ Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked on to the ground, the fuel system has been
damaged and is in need of repair. Do not restart the engine.
