Toyota bZ4X Owner's Manual / Maintenance and care / Do-it-yourself Maintenance: Pre-driving Safety and Equipment Checks

WARNING

Pre-driving Check

Always verify that the hood is completely closed and securely locked before driving. An improperly secured hood can unexpectedly open while the vehicle is in motion, posing a serious risk of accidents that may result in death or severe injury.

After Installing the Support Rod

Once the support rod is inserted into its designated slot, double-check to ensure it is properly seated. This precaution prevents the hood from accidentally shutting on your head or body when closing, thereby avoiding potential injury.

NOTICE

When Closing the Hood

Always return the support rod to its clip before closing the hood. Failing to do so may cause the hood to bend, leading to misalignment or damage that could compromise the vehicle’s safety features.

Positioning a Floor Jack

When using a floor jack for lifting your vehicle, follow the instructions provided in the jack’s manual meticulously. Proper positioning is essential-incorrect placement can damage your vehicle and potentially cause injury. Always make sure that the floor jack is positioned exactly at the designated jack point.

Location of the Jack Point

Locate the manufacturer’s specified jack point and use it when lifting your vehicle. This ensures not only effective support but also helps protect critical components from unnecessary stress during maintenance procedures.

Regular pre-driving checks and proper use of maintenance tools are critical for safe vehicle operation. For owners of the 2024 Toyota bZ4X, integrating these essential precautions into your DIY maintenance routine enhances both safety and performance. By following these guidelines, you minimize the risk of equipment failure and personal injury, while also extending the life of your advanced vehicle systems. Always consult your owner's manual and Toyota Repair Manuals for detailed procedures and tool recommendations to ensure that each maintenance task is performed correctly and efficiently.
