a mixture of 55% coolant and 45%
deionized water. (Minimum tem-
perature: -44°F [-42°C])
For more details about coolant, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
■If the coolant level drops within
a short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses,
engine coolant reservoir caps, drain
cock and water pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have your
Toyota dealer test the cap and
check for leaks in the cooling sys-
tem.

• If the sizes differ, the battery can- not be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low,
even if the time period where the
vehicle is not used is a short time,
the battery may discharge and the
engine may not be able to start.
●For details, consu lt your Toyota
dealer.
WARNING
■When removing the battery
terminals
Always remove the negative (-)
terminal first. If the positive (+) ter-
minal contacts any metal in the
surrounding area when the posi-
tive (+) terminal is removed, a
spark may occur, l eading to a fire
in addition to electrical shocks
and death or serious injury.
■Avoiding battery fires or
explosions
Observe the following precautions
to prevent accidentally igniting the
flammable gas that may be emit-
ted from the battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is
connected to the correct termi-
nal and that it is not unintention-
ally in contact with any other
than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of
the jumper cable connected to
the “+” terminal to come into
contact with any other parts or
metal surfaces in the area, such
as brackets or unpainted metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps
of the jumper cables to come
into contact with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches,
cigarette lighters or allow open
flame near the battery.
■Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous
and corrosive acidic electrolyte,
while related parts contain lead
and lead compounds. Observe
the following precautions when
handling the battery:
●When working with the battery,
always wear safety glasses and
take care not to allow any bat-
tery fluids (acid) to come into
contact with skin, clothing or the
vehicle body.
●Do not lean over the battery.
●In the event that battery fluid
comes into contact with the skin
or eyes, immediately wash the
affected area with water and
seek medical attention. Place a
wet sponge or cloth over the
affected area until medical
attention can be received.
●Always wash your hands after
handling the battery support,
terminals, and other bat-
tery-related parts.

air conditioning system on to
check that the radiator cool-
ing fan operates and to check
for coolant leaks from the
radiator or hoses.
The fan operates when the air con-
ditioning system is turned on imme-
diately after a cold start. Confirm
that the fan is op erating by check-
ing 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 oper-
ate in freezing temperatures.)
7 If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine immediately
and contact your Toyota
dealer.

the nearest Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■When inspecting under the
hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precau-
tions. 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
hood until the steam has sub-
sided. The engine compart-
ment may be very hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (espe-
cially a tie, a sca rf 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 coolant reser-
voir caps while the engine and
radiator are hot.
High temperature 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.
