tem functions may be restricted to
protect the battery.
Also, battery per formance may
decrease and the engine may not
be able to restart. Contact your
Toyota dealer for details.

tem: Use a battery that the case
size is same as the previous one
(LN3), 20 hour rate capacity
(20HR) is equivalent (70Ah) or
greater, and per formance rating
(CCA) is equivalent (603A) or
greater.

lent (65Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(603A) or greater.
