If your vehicle overheats
If your engine overheats:
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air condi-
tioning system.
Check to see if steam is coming out from under the hood.
If you see steam:
Stop the engine. Carefully lift the hood after the steam sub-
sides and then restart the engine.
If you do not see steam:
Leave the engine running and carefully lift the hood.
Check to see if the cooling fan is operating.
If the fan is operating:
Wait until the temperature of the engine (shown on the
instrument panel) begins to fall and then stop the engine.
If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and call any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
After the engine has cooled
down sufficiently, check the
engine coolant level and
inspect the radiator core (radi-
ator) for any leaks.

power is experienced.
Steam comes out from under the hood.
Add engine coolant if neces-
sary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if engine coolant is

If you run out of fuel and the engine stalls
NOTICE
When restarting the engine
Do not crank the engine before refueling and operating the priming pump.
This may damage the engine and fuel system.
Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds at a time. This may
overheat the starter and wiring system.
If you run out of fuel and the engine stalls:
Refuel your vehicle.
To bleed the fuel system,
operate the priming pump until
you feel more resistance.
Start the engine. (P. 162)
If the engine does not start after the above steps have been per-
formed, wait for 10 seconds and try step 2 and 3 again. If the
engine still does not start, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
After starting the engine, depress the accelerator pedal lightly until
the engine runs smoothly.
