Toyota Vehicle FZJ78

Warning: Incorrect tire pressure can reduce tire life and make your vehicle less safe to drive.

Enter the current tire pressure

Tire pressure within the recommended range

If tire pressure is excessively low, there is the possibility of wheel deformation and/or tire separation.

High tire pressure produces a harsh ride, handling problems, excessive wear at the center of the tire tread, and a greater possibility of tire damage from road hazards.

Tire frequently needs refilling?

If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

The pressure should be checked only when the tires are cold.

The battery produces flammable and explosive hydrogen gas. Do not cause a spark from the battery with tools. Do not smoke or light a match near the battery.

The electrolyte contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothes. Never ingest electrolyte. Wear protective safety glasses when working near the battery. Keep children away from the battery.

EMERGENCY MEASURES: If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water immediately and get immediate medical attention. If possible, continue to apply water with a sponge or cloth while en route to the medical office.

Checking battery exterior: Check the battery for corroded or loose terminal connections, cracks, or loose hold-down clamp.

If the battery is corroded, wash it off with a solution of warm water and baking soda. Coat the outside of the terminals with grease to prevent further corrosion.

If the terminal connections are loose, tighten their clamp nuts-but do not overtighten.

Tighten the hold-down clamp only enough to keep the battery firmly in place. Overtightening may damage the battery case.

NOTICE: Be sure the engine and all accessories are off before performing maintenance.

The fluid (electrolyte) level must be between the upper and lower lines.

When checking the fluid level, look at all six cells, not just one or two.

If the level is lower than the lower line, add distilled water. (See "ADDING DISTILLED WATER".)

2. Add distilled water to cells needing fluid.

If the side of your battery is covered, check the water level by looking down directly above the cell as illustrated above.

Warning: Battery produces hydrogen gas during recharging. Ensure sufficient ventilation.

Is the battery installed on the vehicle?

If battery is installed on the vehicle, disconnect the ground cable.

Power switch on the recharger is off when connecting/disconnecting charger cables

Battery is in an unconfined area

Never recharge the battery while the engine is running or accessories are turned on.

Warning: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot to prevent burning yourself.

If the engine is not cold, wait until it cools down.

Is the coolant level between the 'FULL' and 'LOW' lines on the reservoir?

If the level is low, add ethylene-glycol type coolant.

Did the coolant level reach the 'FULL' line after adding coolant?

If the coolant level drops within a short time after replenishing, there may be a leak in the system.

Did you visually check the radiator, hoses, radiator cap, drain cock, and water pump for leaks?

If you can find no leak, have your Toyota dealer test the cap pressure and check for leaks in the cooling system.
