ing fan operates and to check 
for coolant leaks from the 
radiator or hoses.

ditioning system is turned on imme-
diately after a cold start. Confirm 
that the fan is operating by check-
ing the fan sound and air flow. If it is 
difficult to check th ese, turn the air 
conditioning system on and off 
repeatedly. (The fa n may not oper-
ate in freezing temperatures.)

Stop the engine immediately 
and contact your Toyota 
dealer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at 
the nearest Toyota dealer.

Temp High Stop in a Safe 
Place See Owner’s Manual” 
is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display.

WARNING
■When inspecting under the 
hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may  result in seri-
ous injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen  coming from 
under the hood, do not open the 
hood until the steam has sub-
sided. The engine compart-
ment may be very hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (espe-
cially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) 
away from the fan and belts. 
Failure to do so m ay cause the 
hands or clothing to be caught, 
resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reser-
voir cap while the engine and 
radiator are hot. High tempera-
ture steam or coolant could 
spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the 
engine has cooled down suffi-
ciently. 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 precau-
tions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant 
with foreign matter (such as 
sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
