Maintenance and Care
Engine Coolant
Inspect the antifreeze protection and coolant level in the coolant res-
ervoir at least once a year—at the beginning of the winter season—
and before traveling where temperatures may drop below freezing.
Inspect the condition and connections of all cooling system and
heater hoses.
Replace any that are swollen or deteriorated.
The coolant should be at full in the
radiator and between the F and L
marks on the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cool.Cooling fan

Coolant reservoir
If it is at or near L, add enough coolant to the coolant reservoir to pro-
vide freezing and corrosion protection and to bring the level to F.
Securely tighten the coolant reservoir tank cap after adding coolant.
If the coolant reservoir is empty or new coolant is required frequently,
consult your Toyota dealer.
Changing the coolant should be done by your Toyota dealer.

WARNING
■Do not use a match or live flame in the engine compartment. DO NOT
ADD COOLANT WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT
A hot engine is dangerous. If the engine has been running, parts of the
engine compartment can become very hot. You could be burned. Carefully
inspect the engine coolant in the coolant reservoir, but do not open it.
■ 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.

6-5. Overheating
Overheating
If the high engine coolant temperature warning light illuminates:
Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
Put a vehicle with an automatic transaxle in park (P), a manual
transaxle in neutral.
Apply the parking brake.
Turn off the air conditioner.
Check whether coolant or steam is escaping from the engine com-
partment.
XIf steam is coming from the engine compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle. Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then open the hood and start the
engine.
XIf neither coolant nor steam is escaping:
Open the hood and idle the engine until it cools.
Make sure the cooling fan is operating, then turn off the engine after
the temperature has decreased.
When cool, check the coolant level.
If it is low, look for coolant leaks from the radiator and hoses.
■If you find a leak or other damage, or if coolant is still leaking:
Stop the engine and call your Toyota dealer.Cooling fan

If the high engine coolant temperature warning light illuminates,
the vehicle loses power, or you hear a loud knocking or pinging
noise, the engine is probably too hot.
