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.

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 the charger cables to the battery and when disconnecting them.

Battery is being charged in an unconfined area

Never recharge the battery while the engine is running. Also, be sure all accessories are turned off.

Warning: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.

Enter the coolant level in the reservoir

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

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, there may be a leak in the system.

Any visible leaks in the radiator, hoses, radiator cap, drain cock, or water pump?

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