request that a record of maintenance  
be kept.
■Does your vehicle need repairs? 
Be on the alert for changes in perfor- mance and sounds, and visual tip-offs  
that indicate service is needed. Some  important clues are:
●Engine misses (misfire), stumbling or pinging
●Appreciable loss of power
●Strange engine noises
●A fluid leak under the vehicle (How-ever, water dripping from the air con- 
ditioning system after use is normal.)
●Change in exhaust sound (This may 
indicate a dangerous carbon monox- ide leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system checked  
immediately.)
●Flat-looking tires, excessive tire 
squeal when cornering, uneven tire  wear
●Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road
●Strange noises related to suspension movement
●Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal (vehicles with a manual transmission),  
pedal almost touches the floor, vehicle  pulls to one side when braking
●Engine coolant temperature continu-ally higher than normal ( P.81, 84) 
If you notice any of these clues, take  
your vehicle to any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or 
any reliable repairer as soon as possi-
ble. Your vehicle may need adjustment 
or repair.

oil level on the dipstick.
■Checking the engine oil 
1 Park the vehicle on level  
ground. After warming up the  
engine and turning it off, wait  
more than 8 minutes for the oil  
to drain back into the bottom of  
the engine. 
2 Holding a rag under the end,  
pull the dipstick out. 
3 Wipe the dipstick clean. 
4 Reinsert the dipstick fully. 
5 Holding a rag under the end,  
pull the dipstick out and check  
the oil level.

The shape of the dipstick may differ  
depending on the type of vehicle or 
engine.
6 Wipe the dipstick and reinsert it  
fully.
■Checking the oil type and pre-
paring the item needed 
Make sure to check the oil type and

Maintenance and care
■Engine oil consumption 
A certain amount of engine oil will be  
consumed while driving. In the following  situations, oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be  
refilled in between oil maintenance inter- vals.
●When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or after replacing the engine
●If low quality oil or oil of an inappropri-ate viscosity is used
●When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load, when towing  
(vehicles with towing packages), or  when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently
●When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently  
through heavy trafficThe coolant level is satisfactory if it  
is between the “MAX” and “MIN”  
lines on the reservoir when the  
engine is cold. 
Reservoir cap 
“MAX” line
“MIN” line
If the level is on or below the “MIN” line,  
add coolant up to the “MAX” line.

WARNING
■Used engine oil
●Used engine oil contains poten- tially harmful contaminants which may cause skin disorders such as  
inflammation and skin cancer, so  care should be taken to avoid pro-longed and repeated contact. To  
remove used engine oil from your  skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
●Dispose of used oil and filters only in a safe and acceptable manner.  
Do not dispose of used oil and fil- ters in household trash, in sewers or onto the ground. 
Call any authorized Toyota retailer  or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer, service station  
or auto parts store for information  concerning recycling or disposal.
●Do not leave used engine oil within the reach of children.
NOTICE
■To prevent serious engine dam-age 
Check the oil level on a regular basis.
■When replacing the engine oil
●Be careful not to spill engine oil on  the vehicle components.
●Avoid overfilling, or the engine could be damaged.
●Check the oil level on the dipstick every time you refill the vehicle.
●Be sure the engine oil filler cap is properly tightened.

ant” or a similar high quality ethylene  
glycol based non-silicate, non-amine,  non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology. 
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a  mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion-ized water. (Minimum temperature: - 
35°C [-31°F]) 
For more details about coolant, contact  any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota  
authorized repairer, or any reliable  repairer.
■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 any  authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable  
repairer, test the cap and check for leaks  in the cooling system.
Check the radiator, condenser and  
intercooler clear away any foreign  
objects. If either of the above parts  
is extremely dirty or you are not  
sure of their condition, have your  
vehicle inspected by any authorized  
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized  
repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
If the washer fluid level is at “1/2”,  
add washer fluid.
WARNING
■When the engine is hot 
Do not remove the engine coolant  reservoir cap. 
The cooling system may be under  
pressure and may spray hot coolant if  the cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant 
Coolant is neither plain water nor  straight antifreeze. The correct mix-ture of water and antifreeze must be  
used to provide proper lubrication,  corrosion protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant  
label.
■If you spill coolant 
Be sure to wash it off with water to  prevent it from damaging parts or paint.

denser and intercooler
WARNING
■When the engine is hot 
Do not touch the radiator, condenser  
or intercooler as they may be hot and  cause serious injuries, such as burns.
Adding the washer fluid
WARNING
■When adding washer fluid 
Do not add washer fluid when the  engine is hot or running as washer fluid contains alcohol and may catch  
fire if spilled on the engine, etc.

pressure as part of your routine of daily  
vehicle checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display 
the tire inflation pressure after the  engine switch is turned to ON. It may also take a few minutes to display the  
tire inflation pressure after inflation  pressure has been adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed values may also be different from the values  
measured using a tire pressure  gauge.

ate properly
●In the following cases, the tire pres-
sure warning system may not operate  properly.• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are  
used. • A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equipment)  
tire. • A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size. 
• Tire chains, etc. are equipped. • An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is equipped.

vehicle, particularly around the wheels  or wheel housings.• If the tire inflation pressure is  
extremely higher than the specified  level.• If tires not equipped with tire pressure  
warning valves and transmitters are  used.• If the ID code on the tire pressure  
warning valves and transmitters is not  registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
