When trouble arises
Start the engine to check that the radiator cooling fan operates and
to check for coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses.
If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNING
Q When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
O If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
O Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from
the fans and belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be
caught, resulting in serious injury.
O Do not loosen the radiator cap (if equipped), the engine coolant reservoir
cap or intercooler coolant reservoir cap (if equipped) while the engine and
radiator are hot. High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
Q When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine has cooled down sufficiently. Adding
cool coolant to a hot engine too quickly can cause damage to the engine.
Q To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
O Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust
etc.).
O Do not use any coolant additive.
