tially harmful contaminants which 
may cause skin disorders such as  inflammation and skin cancer, so  
care should be taken to avoid pro-

Maintenance and care
■Engine coolant reservoir 
The coolant level is satisfactory if it  
is between the “FULL” and “LOW” 
lines on the reservoir when the 
engine is cold. 
Reservoir cap 
“FULL” line
“LOW” line
If the level is on or below the “LOW”  
line, add coolant up to the “FULL” line. 
( P.560)
■Intercooler coolant reservoir 
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.560)
■Coolant selection 
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Cool- 
ant” 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 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 caps, 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.
NOTICE
