When trouble arises
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
 Q When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle 
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns. 
 O 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. 
 O 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. 
 O Do not loosen the radiator cap (if equipped), the engine coolant reservoir 
cap or intercooler coolant reservoir cap (if equipped) while the engine and
radiator are hot. High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
 Q 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. 
 Q To prevent damage to the cooling system 
Observe the following precautions: 
 O Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust 
etc.). 
 O Do not use any coolant additive.

*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing 
the engine oil. Warm up and turn off the engine, wait more than 5 minutes,
and check the oil level on the dipstick. 
 QEngine oil selection 
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use 
Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy 
the following grade and viscosity. 
Oil grade:  
0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:  
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving”, SN 
“Resource-Conserving”, SN PLUS “Resource-Conserving” or SP 
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil  
Recommended viscosity (SAE): 
SAE 0W-20 is filled into your 
Toyota vehicle at manufactur- 
ing, and the best choice for 
good fuel economy and good 
starting in cold weather.  
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a 
higher viscosity engine oil in 
extremely low temperatures, 
the engine may become difficult 
to start, so SAE 0W-20, 5W-20 
or 5W-30 engine oil is recom- 
mended.
