Interior features
*: The shape of the auxiliary box may differ depending on the grade, etc.
●Air conditioning-linked temperature regulation function (type A) (if
equipped):
By introducing air from the air conditioning system into the auxiliary box,
canned drinks etc. can be kept hot or cold. However, as the temperature
inside the auxiliary box will become the same as the temperature of the air
flowing from the air conditioning sy stem, extreme heating and cooling are
not possible. In high humidity condition, be careful of objects inside the aux-
iliary box, as condensation may form.
● Using the air conditioning-linked temperature regulation function (type A) (if
equipped):
Allow the air conditioning system to operate, and use or to
select either or . ( P. 492, 501)
Adjust the temperature. ( P. 492, 500)
Type G (if equipped)
Open the air intake lid inside the aux-
iliary box.
To blow a large amount of air into the
auxiliary box, close the passenger
side vent. ( P. 495, 504)

Maintenance and care
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “F” and “L” lines on
the reservoir when the engine is cold.
If the level is on or below the “L” line, add coolant up to the “F” line.
( P. 654)
■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.
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion-
ized water. (Minimum temperature: -35 C [-31F])
For more details about engine coolant, contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ 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 retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer test the cap and check
for leaks in the cooling system.

5547-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
Check the radiator, condenser and intercooler and clear away any for-
eign objects. If any of the above parts is extremely dirty or you are not
sure of their condition, have your vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNING
■ When the engine is hot
Do not remove the radiator cap or the engine coolant reservoir cap.
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the
cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■ When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor straight antifreeze. The correct mixture of
water and antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication, corrosion
protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.
■ If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging parts or paint.
■ Notice on coolant quality
Do not use improper coolant. If improper coolant is used, the engine cooling
system may be damaged.
Radiator, condenser and intercooler (if equipped)
WARNING
■ When the engine is hot
Do not touch the radiator, condenser or intercooler as they may be hot and
cause serious injuries, such as burns.

When trouble arises
■If “T-BELT MAINTENANCE REQUIRED”/“T-BELT maintenance required”
is shown on the multi-information display
The timing belt is scheduled to be changed.
Have the timing belt checked and/or changed by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ If “DIFFERENTIAL OIL TEMP HIGH COOLING TIME REQUIRED”/“Diffe-
rential oil temp high Cooling time required” is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display
The differential oil temperature is too high.
Wait until the warning message goes off.
■ If “ENGINE OIL LEVEL LOW ADD OR REPLACE”/“Engine oil level low
Add or replace” is shown on the multi-information display
The engine oil level is low. (This warning message may be displayed if the
vehicle is stopped on a slope. Move to a level surface and check to see if the
message goes off.)
Check the level of the engine oil and add or replace oil if necessary.
( P. 540)
■ If “POWER TURNED OFF TO SAVE BATTERY”/“Power turned off to save
battery” is shown on the multi-information display
Power was turned off due to the automatic power off function.
Next time when starting the engine, increase the engine speed slightly and
maintain that level for approximately 5 minutes to recharge the battery.

When trouble arises
WARNING
■When exchanging the battery
● When the vent plug and indicator are close to the hold down bracket, the
battery fluid (sulfuric acid) may leak.
● For information regarding battery replacement, contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ To prevent damage to the vehicle (vehicles with manual transmission)
Do not pull- or push-start the vehicle as the three-way catalytic converter or
catalytic converter may overheat and become a fire hazard.
NOTICE
■ When handling jumper cables
When connecting the jumper cables, ensure that they do not become entan-
gled in the cooling fan or belt.

HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
If your vehicle overheats
●The needle of the engine coolant temperature gauge (P. 132)
enters the red zone or a loss of engine power is experienced. (For
example, the vehicle speed does not increase.)
● Steam comes out from under the hood.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air conditioning sys-
tem, 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 (radiator) for any leaks.

If a large amount of coolant
leaks, immediately contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
The following may indicate that your vehicle is overheating.

6568-2. Steps to take in an emergency
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
Start the engine to check that the radiator cooling fan operates and
to check for coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses.
If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
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 fans 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 or the coolant reservoir cap while the
engine and radiator are hot. High tem perature steam or coolant 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 additive.
