Start  the  engine  and  turn  the  air  conditioning  system  on  to  check
that the radiator cooling fan operates and to check for coolant  leaks
from the radiator or hoses.
The  fan  operates  when  the  air  conditioning  system  is  turned  on  immedi-
ately after a cold start. Confirm that the fan is operating by  checking the fan
sound  and  air  flow.  If  it  is  difficult  to  check  these,  turn  the   air  conditioning
system  on  and  off  repeatedly.  (The  fan  may  not  operate  in  freez ing  tem-
peratures.)
If the fan is not operating: 
Stop the engine immediately and  contact your Toyota dealer.
If the fan is operating: 
Have the vehicle ins pected at the nearest Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■To  prevent  an  accident  or  injury   when  inspecting  under  the  hood of
your vehicle
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
● If  steam  is  seen  coming  from  under  the  hood,  do  not  open  the  ho od  until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
● Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler ) away from
the  fan  and belts.  Failure  to do  so may cause  the hands  or  clothing to  be
caught, resulting in serious injury.
● Do  not  loosen  the  radiator  cap  and  the  coolant  reservoir  cap  wh ile  the
engine and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■ When adding engine coolant
Wait until the engine has cooled down before adding engine cool ant.
When adding coolant, do so slowly. Adding cool coolant to a hot engine too
quickly can cause damage to the engine.
■ To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
● Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sa nd or dust
etc.).
