D In a rollover crash, an unbelted per-
son is significantly more likely to
die than a person wearing a seat
belt. Therefore, the driver and all
passengers should fasten their seat
belts whenever the vehicle is mo-
ving.
D When driving offāroad or in rugged
terrain, do not drive at excessive
speeds, jump, make sharp turns,
strike objects, etc. This may cause
loss of control or vehicle rollover
causing death or serious injury. You
are also risking expensive damage
to your vehicleās suspension and
chassis.
NOTICE
z If driving through water, such as
when crossing shallow streams,
first check the depth of the water
and the bottom of the river bed for
firmness. Drive slowly and avoid
deep water.
z Take all necessary safety measures
to ensure that water damage to the
engine or other components does
not occur.
Water entering the engine air intake
will cause severe engine damage.
Water can wash the grease from
wheel bearings, causing rusting and
premature failure, and may also en-
ter the differentials, transmission
and transfer case, reducing the gear
oilās lubricating qualities.
z Sand and mud that has accumulated
in brake drums and around brake
discs may affect braking efficiency
and may damage brake system com-
ponents.
z Always perform a maintenance in-
spection after each day of offāroad
driving that has taken you through
rough terrain, sand, mud, or water.
For scheduled maintenance informa-
tion, refer to the āScheduled Main-
tenance Guideā or āOwnerās Manual
Supplementā.

tected against freezing.
Only use āToyota Super Long Life Coolantā
or similar high quality ethylene glycol
based nonāsilicate, nonāamine, nonānitrite,
and nonāborate coolant with longālife
hybrid organic acid technology. (Coolant
with longālife hybrid organic acid
technology is a combination of low
phosphates and organic acids.)
See āChecking the engine coolant levelā
on page 382 in Section 7ā2 for details of
coolant type selection.
