If your engine overheats, safely pull off the
road and stop your vehicle in a safe place.
Never attempt to remove the radiator cap
until the engine has been shut off and has
fully cooled down. If steam is coming from
the engine compartment, turn the engine
off and move everyone away from the
vehicle until it cools. Please refer to your

4. Main Fuse Box
Your BRZ has two fuse boxes. One is
located under the instrument panel,
behind the fuse box cover on the driver’s
seat side. The other is housed in the
engine compartment, as shown here.
Fuses are designed to melt during an
overload situation in order to prevent
damage to the wiring harness and
electrical equipment. If any lights,
accessories or electrical controls
fail to operate properly, inspect the
corresponding fuse. If it has melted
or appears discolored, replace it in
accordance with the instructions in your
Owner’s Manual. The fuse puller and
spare fuses are located in the main fuse
box in the engine compartment.
5. Engine Oil Level Gauge
Check the engine oil level at each fuel
stop. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean,
and insert it again. Pull it out and check
the oil level. If it’s below the lower level,
add oil to bring the level up to the
upper level. Use only engine oil of the
recommended grade and viscosity.
