WARNING
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the
battery. Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.
●Be extremely cautious when work-ing on the battery. It contains poi-sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
●Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and dam-
age painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water
immediately. If you still experience discomfort, consult a doctor.
■When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the engine switch is OFF. With the engine switch in ON, the electric cooling fan may automatically
start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is high. ( →P.274)
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying
or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner fil-ter
Driving with the air cleaner filter
removed may cause excessive engine wear due to dirt in the air.
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.If the reservoir needs frequent refill-
ing, it may indicate a serious problem.

Maintenance and care
faces up to avoid scratching the wheel
surface.
1 Remove any dirt or foreign mat-
ter from the wheel contact sur-
face.
If foreign matter is on the wheel contact
surface, the wheel nuts may loosen while the vehicle is in motion, causing the tire to come off.
2 Install the tire and loosely
tighten each wheel nut by hand
by approximately the same
amount.
Turn the wheel nuts until the washers come into contact with the disc wheel.

WARNING
■Replacing a tire
●Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious
injury:
Do not touch the disc wheels or the
area around the brakes immediately
after the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven the
disc wheels and the area around the
brakes will be extremely hot. Touch-
ing these areas with hands, feet or
other body parts while changing a tire,
etc., may result in burns.
●Failure to follow these precautions
could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the tire to fall off, result-ing in death or serious injury.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 103 N•m (10.5
kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
• When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifi-cally designed for that wheel.
• If there are any cracks or deforma- tions in the bolt screws, nut threads
or bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

The emergency flashers will turn off automatically after operating for approximately 20 minutes. To manu-
ally turn the emergency flashers off, press the switch twice.(The emergency flashers may not turn
on automatically depending on the force of the impact and conditions of the collision.)

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
WARNING
●Do not touch the wheels or the area around the brakes immediately
after the vehicle has been driven. After the vehicle has been driven, the wheels and the area around the
brakes may be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other body parts may result
in burns.
●Connect the valve and hose
securely with the tire installed on the vehicle. If the hose is not prop-erly connected to the valve, air
leakage may occur as sealant may be sprayed out.
●If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk that the hose will move abruptly due
to air pressure.
●After inflation of the tire has com-
pleted, the sealant may splatter when the hose is disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
●Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not
followed, the sealant may spray out.
●Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it bursting while the repair opera-
tion is being performed. If you notice any cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor
switch and stop the repair operation immediately.
●The repair kit may overheat if oper-ated for a long period of time. Do not operate the repair kit continu-
ously for more than 40 minutes.
●Parts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful when handling the repair kit during and
after operation. Do not touch the metal part around the connecting area between the bottle and com-
pressor. It will be extremely hot.
●Do not attach the vehicle speed
warning sticker to an area other than the one indicated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an
SRS airbag is located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may prevent the SRS airbag from oper-
ating properly.
●To avoid risk of burst or severe
leakage, do not drop or damage the bottle. Visually inspect the bottle before use. Do not use a bottle with
shock, crack, scratch, leakage or any other damage. In such case, immediately replace.
■Driving to spread the liquid seal-ant evenly
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.Failing to do so may result in a loss of
vehicle control and cause death or serious injury.
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turning and cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steer-
ing wheel, stop the vehicle and check the following.
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3
kgf/cm2 or bar, 19 psi) or less, the
tire may be severely damaged.
