WARNING
The engine compartment contains
many mechanisms and fluids that
may move suddenly, become hot,
or become electrically energized.
To avoid death or serious injury,
observe the following precautions.
ItemsParts and tools■When working on the engine
compartment
●Make sure that the “ACCES-
SORY” or “IGNITION ON” on
the multi-information display
and the “READY” indicator are
both off.
●Be careful not to touch the
engine, power control unit, radi-
ator, exhaust manifold, etc. right
after driving as they may be hot.
Oil and other fluids may also be
hot.
●Do not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the engine compart-
ment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or
expose an open flame to fuel.
Fuel fumes are flammable.
■When working near the elec-
tric cooling fan or radiator
grille
Be sure the power switch is off.
With the power switch in ON, the
electric cooling fa n may automati-
cally start to run if the air condi-
tioning is on and/or the coolant
temperature is high. ( P.419)
■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
filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter
removed may cause excessive
engine wear due to dirt in the air.

■After a fuse is replaced
●If the lights do not turn on even
after the fuse has been replaced,
a bulb may need replacement.
(
 P.449)
●If the replaced fuse blows again,
have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
■If there is an ove rload in a cir-
cuit
The fuses are designed to blow, pro-
tecting the wiring harness from
damage.
■When replacing light bulbs
Toyota recommends that you use
genuine Toyota pr oducts designed
for this vehicle. Because certain
bulbs are connected to circuits
designed to prevent overload,
non-genuine parts or parts not
designed for this vehicle may be
unusable.
WARNING
■To prevent system break-
downs and vehicle fire
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause dam-
age to the vehicle, and possibly a
fire or injury.
●Never use a fuse of a higher
amperage rating than that indi-
cated, or use any other object in
place of a fuse.
●Always use a genuine Toyota
fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a
wire, even as a temporary fix.
●Do not modify the fuses or fuse
boxes.
