Maintenance and Care
To get the best service from a battery:
• Keep it securely mounted.
• Keep the top clean and dry.
• Keep terminals and connec-
tions clean, tight, and coated
with petroleum jelly or terminal
grease.
• Rinse off spilled electrolyte
immediately with a solution of
water and baking soda.
• If the vehicle will not be used for an extended time, disconnect the
battery cables and charge the battery every six weeks.
Contact your Toyota dealer for a battery replacement purchase.
WARNING
■ Keep flames and sparks away from open battery cells and do
not allow metal tools to contact the positive (+) or negative (-) terminal
of the battery when working near a battery. Do not allow the positive (+)
terminal to contact the vehicle body
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas,
produced during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the bat-
tery to explode. An exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries.
Keep all flames including cigarettes and sparks away from open battery
cells.
