• 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 6 weeks.
Contact your Toyota dealer for a battery replacement purchase.
