Maintenance and care
Engine coolant
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” and “LOW”
lines on the reservoir when the engine is cold.
Reservoir cap
“FULL”
“LOW”
If the level is on or below the
“LOW” line, add coolant up to the
“FULL” line.
■If the coolant level drops within a short time after replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant filler cap, radiator cap,
drain cock and water pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have your Scion dealer pressure test the cap and
check for leaks in the cooling system.
■Coolant selection
Only use “TOYOTA Genuine 50/50 Pre-mixed Super Long Life Coolant
BLUE” or similar high-quality ethylene glycol-based non-silicate, non-amine,
non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technol-
ogy.
“TOYOTA Genuine 50/50 Pre-mixed Super Long Life Coolant BLUE” is a
mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deionized water. (Enabled: -31F [-35C])
