WARNING
■Pre-driving check
Check that the hood is fully closed 
and locked.
If the hood is not locked properly, 
it may open while the vehicle is in 
motion and cause an accident, 
which may result in death or seri-
ous injury.
NOTICE
■When opening the hood
●Do not lift up or operate the wip-
ers. Doing so may cause the

scratching the hood.
●Use caution when opening the 
hood in windy weather as it may 
close suddenly in strong wind.
●Do not attach any accessories 
other than genuine Toyota prod-
ucts to the hood. Such addi-
tional weight on the hood may 
cause it to be too heavy to be 
supported by the supporting rod 
when opened.
■When closing the hood
Do not apply excessive weight or 
force when closing the hood as 
doing so may result in damage.

WARNING
●In the event that battery fluid 
comes into contact  with the skin 
or eyes, immediately wash the 
affected area with water and 
seek medical attention. Place a 
wet sponge or cloth over the 
affected area until medical 
attention can be received.
●Always wash your hands after

■To prevent damage to the 
vehicle
Do not pull- or push-start the vehi-
cle as the three-way catalytic con-
verter may overheat and become 
a fire hazard.

that your vehicle is over-
heating.
 The engine coolant tem-
perature gauge ( P.88) is 
in the red zone or a loss of 
engine power is experi-
enced. (For example, the 
vehicle speed does not 
increase.)

parking brake and shift the 
shift lever to P (automatic 
transmission) or N (manual 
transmission).
2 Remove the mud, snow or 
sand from around the rear

under the hood, do not open the 
hood until the steam has sub-
sided. The engine compart-
ment may be very hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (espe-
cially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) 
away from the fans and belts. 
Failure to do so m ay cause the 
hands or clothing to be caught, 
resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reser-
voir caps while the engine and 
radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or 
coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the 
engine has cooled down suffi-
ciently. Adding cool coolant to a 
hot engine too quickly can cause 
damage to the engine.
■To prevent damage to the 
cooling system
Observe the following precau-
tions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant 
with foreign matter (such as 
sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
If  the vehicle becomes 
stuck
Carry out the following pro-
cedures if the tires spin or 
the vehicle becomes stuck
