If the level is on or below the “L” line,
add coolant up to the “F” line. ( P.442)
■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

When recharging, the battery produces hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Therefore, observe the fol-
lowing precautions before recharging:
●If recharging with the battery installed
on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect the ground cable.
●Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and
disconnecting the charger cables to the battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting the battery (vehicles with a smart entry
& start system)
●Unlocking the doors using the smart
entry & start system may not be possi- ble immediately after reconnecting the battery. If this happens, use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical key to lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the engine with the engine switch in ACC. The engine may not start with the engine switch turned off.
However, the engine will operate nor- mally from the second attempt.
●The engine switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the battery is recon-nected, the vehicle will return the
engine switch mode to the status it
was in before the battery was discon- nected. Make sure to turn off the engine before disconnecting the bat-
tery. Take extra care when connecting the battery if the engine switch mode prior to discharge is unknown.
If the system will not start even after
multiple attempts, contact any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Maintenance and care
Check if the treadwear indicators
are showing on the tires. Also
check the tires for uneven wear,
such as excessive wear on one
side of the tread.
Check the spare tire condition and
pressure if not rotated.
New tread
Worn tread
Treadwear indicator
The location of treadwear indicators is
shown by a “TWI” or “ ” mark, etc.,
molded into the sidewall of each tire.
Replace the tires if the treadwear indi-
cators are showing on a tire.
■When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if:
●The treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.
●You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose
the fabric, and bulges indicating inter- nal damage
●A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if
it has seldom or never been used, or damage is not obvious.
