5036-5. Overheating
6
If Trouble Arises
■If you find no problems, the engine is cool, and no leaks are
obvious:
Carefully add coolant as required (→P. 431).
WARNING
■ Switch the ignition to off and make sure the fan is not running
before attempting to work near the cooling fan
Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
■ Do not remove either cooling system cap when the engine and
radiator are hot
When the engine and radiator are hot, scalding coolant and steam may
shoot out under pressure and cause serious injury.
■ Open the hood ONLY after steam is no longer escaping from the engine
Steam from an overheated engine is dangerous. The escaping steam could
seriously burn you.
NOTICE
●If the cooling fan does not operate while the engine is running, the engine
temperature will increase. Stop the engine and call your Toyota dealer.
● If the engine continues to overheat or frequently overheats, have the cool-
ing system inspected. The engine could be seriously damaged unless
repairs are made. Consult your Toyota dealer.

5096-7. Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds

If Trouble Arises
(Red)
High Engine Coolant Temperature Warning LightThe light flashes when the engine coolant temperature is
extremely high, and illuminates when the engine coolant
temperature increases further.
Handling Procedure:
Flashing light
Drive slowly to reduce engine load until you can find a
safe place to stop the vehicle and wait for the engine to
cool down.
Illuminated light This indicates the possibility of overheating. Park the vehi-
cle in a safe place immediately and stop the engine.
Refer to Overheating P. 502.
Do not drive the vehicle with the high engine coolant tem-
perature warning light illuminated. Otherwise, it could
result in damage to the engine.
Power Steering Malfunction Indicator Light
The light illuminates/flashes if the electric power steering
has a malfunction.
If the light illuminates/flashes, stop the vehicle in a safe
place and do not operate the steering wheel. There is no
problem if the light turns off after a while. Contact your
Toyota dealer if the light illuminates/flashes continuously.
• If the indicator light illuminates/flashes, the power steer-ing will not operate normally. If this happens, the steer-
ing wheel can still be operated, however, the operation
may feel heavy compared to normal, or the steering
wheel could vibrate when turning.
• Repeatedly jerking the steering wheel left and right while the vehicle is stopped or moving extremely slowly will
cause the power steering system to go into protective
mode which will make the steering feel heavy, but this
does not indicate a problem. If this occurs, park the vehi-
cle safely and wait several minutes for the system to
return to normal.
