If your vehicle overheats
The following may indicate that, your vehicle is overheating.
●The rightmost segment of the engine coolant temperature dis-
play ( P. 170) is flashing or a loss of engine power is experi-
enced. (For example, the vehi cle speed does not increase.)
● Steam comes out from under the hood.
Follow the correction procedure as described below. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air condi-
tioning system, and then stop the engine.
If you see steam: Carefully lift the hood after the steam subsides.
If you do not see steam: Carefully lift the hood.
After the engine has cooled
down sufficiently, inspect the
hoses and radiator core (radi-
ator) for any leaks.

Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.
Start the engine and turn the air conditioning system on to
check that the radiator cooling fans operate and to check
for coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses.
The fans operate when the air conditioning system is turned on
immediately after a cold start. Confirm that the fans are operating
by checking the fan sound and air flow. If it is difficult to check
these, turn the air conditioning system on and off repeatedly.
(The fans may not operate in freezing temperatures.)
If the fans are not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and contact your Toyota
dealer.
If the fans are operating: Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest Toyota dealer.
