The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “F” and “L” lines on
the reservoir when the engine is cold.
Reservoir cap
“F” line
“L” line
If the level is on or below the “L”
line, add coolant up to the “F” line.
(→P. 535)
■Coolant selection
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.
For the U.S.A.: “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% cool-
ant and 50% deionized water. (Minimum temperature: -31°F
[-35°C])
For Canada: “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 55% cool-
ant and 45% deionized water. (Minimum temperature: -44°F
[-42°C])
For more details about engine coolant, contact your Toyota dealer.
■If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant reservoir caps, drain cock
and water pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have your Toyota dealer test the cap and check for
leaks in the cooling system.

ily unavailable, possibly due to either of the following:
• An area around the radar sensor or camera sensor
being dirty or covered with condensation, ice, stickers,
etc.
→Clear the dirt, condensation, ice, stickers, etc.
(→P. 211)
• Radar sensor or camera sensor operational conditions
(such as temperature etc.) being not met
→Driving is possible in this case. The PCS (Pre-Colli-
sion System) will be enabled if the operational condi-
tions (such as temperature etc.) are met again.
When the warning light is illuminated:
Either the VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) system or PCS
(Pre-Collision system) is disabled or both are disabled.
→To enable the PCS, enable both the VSC system and
PCS. (→P. 220, 264)

COROLLA_TMMMS_TMMC_U (OM02494U)Indicates that the LDA (Lane Departure Alert with
steering control) and pre-collision system are
temporarily canceled due to high temperatures
around the camera sensor
→Turn the LDA (Lane Departure Alert with
steering control) system off, wait for the
area around the camera sensor to cool, and
then turn the LDA (Lane Departure Alert
with steering control) system back on.
The LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steering con-
trol) system is temporarily canceled due to a mal-
function in a sensor other than the camera
sensor.
A buzzer also sounds.
→Turn the LDA (Lane Departure Alert with
steering control) system off and follow the
appropriate troubleshooting procedures
for warning message. Afterward, drive the
vehicle for a short time, and then turn the
LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steering

temporarily canceled because dirt, rain, conden-
sation, ice, snow, etc., are present on the wind-
shield in front of the camera sensor
→Turn the LDA (Lane Departure Alert with
steering control) system off, remove any
dirt, rain, condensation, ice, snow, etc.,
from the windshield, and then turn the LDA
(Lane Departure Alert with steering control)
