Maintenance and care
Engine coolant
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” a nd “LOW”
lines on the reservoir w hen the engine is cold.
Reservoir cap
“FULL”
“LOW”
If  the  level  is  on  or  below  the
“LOW” line, add coolant up to the
“FULL” 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.
■If the coolant level drops within a short time after replenishi ng
Visually  check  the  radiator,  hoses,  engine  coolant  filler  cap,  radiator  cap,
drain cock and water pump. 
If you cannot find a leak, have your Toyota dealer pressure test the cap and
check for leaks in the cooling system.

■When replacing wheels
The  wheels  of  your  Toyota  are  equipped  with  tire  pressure  warning
valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning sy stem  to
provide advanced warning in the event of a loss in tire inflati on pressure.
Whenever  wheels  are  replaced,  the  tire  pressure  warning  valves  and
transmitters mus t be installed. (P.   3 4 6 )
WARNING
■When replacing wheels
●Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommen ded in
the Owner’s Manual, as this may result in loss of handling cont rol.
●Never  use  an  inner  tube  in  a  leaking  wheel  which  is  designed  fo r  a
tubeless tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing deat h or seri-
ous injury.
■When installing the wheel nuts
●Never use oil or grease on the  wheel bolts or wheel nuts. 
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tight ened,
leading to bolt or disc wheel  damage. In addition, the oil or g rease can
cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, caus ing an
accident  and  resulting  in  death  or  serious  injury.  Remove  any  o il  or
grease from the wheel  bolts or wheel nuts.
●Be  sure  to  install  the  wheel  nuts  with
the  tapered  ends  facing  inward.
Installing  the  nuts with  the  tapered
ends  facing  outward  can  cause  the
wheel to break and eventually cause
the wheel to come off while driving,
which  could  lead  to  an  accident
resulting in death or serious injury.

Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is properly
inflated and not overloaded. 
Excessive  speed,  underinflation,  or  excessive  loading,  either  s epa-
rately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible t ire fail-
ure.
