WARNING
■When working near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system
Be sure the engine switch is off. With the engine switch in the “ON” position,
the electric cooling fan may automatical ly start to run if the air conditioning
is on and/or the coolant temperature is high. ( P. 338)
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system
Be sure the engine switch is off. With the engine switch in IGNITION ON
mode, the electric cooling fan may automatically start to run if the air condi-
tioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is high. ( P. 338)
■ Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc.,
from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■ If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear
due to dirt in the air.
■ If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious problem.

The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL”, “F” or
“MAX” and “LOW” or “MIN” lines on the reservoir when the engine is
cold.
1KR engine (type A)
Reservoir cap
“FULL” line
“LOW” line
If the level is on or below the
“LOW” line, add coolant up to the
“FULL” line.
1KR engine (type B)
Reservoir cap
“F” line
“LOW” line
If the level is on or below the
“LOW” line, add coolant up to the
“F” line.
NOTICE
■ To prevent serious engine damage
Check the oil level on a regular basis.
■ When replacing the engine oil
● Be careful not to spill engine oil on the vehicle components.
● Avoid overfilling, or the engine could be damaged.
● Check the oil level on the dipstick every time you refill the vehicle.
● Be sure the engine oil filler cap is properly tightened.

■ Coolant selection
1KR engine
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or a similar high quality ethylene
glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non- nitrite, and non-borate coolant with
long-life hybrid organic acid technology.
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50%
deionized water. (Minimum temperature: -35 C [-31F])
HM01 engine
Only use “Toyota Genuine Premium Long Life Coolant 2WZ-TV” or a similar
high quality ethylene glycol based non-s ilicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and
non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology.
“Toyota Genuine Premium Long Life C oolant 2WZ-TV” is a mixture of 50%
coolant and 50% deionized water. (Minimum temperature: -38 C [-36F])
For more details about coolant, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
■ If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant reservoir cap, drain cock
and water pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional, test the cap and check for
leaks in the cooling system.

WARNING
■ When the engine is hot
Do not remove the radiator cap (1KR engine) or the engine coolant reser-
voir cap (HM01 engine).
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the
cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.

WARNING
■When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
● 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.
● Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from
the fan and belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be
caught, resulting in serious injury.
● Do not loosen the radiator cap (1KR engine only) and the coolant reservoir
cap while the engine and radiator are hot. High temperature steam or cool-
ant could spray out.
NOTICE
■ 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.
■ To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
● Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust,
etc.).
● Do not use any coolant additives.
