refilled in between oil maintenance inter- vals.
●When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or after replacing the engine
●If low quality oil or oil of an inappropri-ate viscosity is used
●When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load, when towing
(vehicles with towing packages), or when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently
●When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently
through heavy traffic

is between the “F” and “L” lines on
WARNING
■Used engine oil
●Used engine oil contains poten-
tially harmful contaminants which may cause skin disorders such as inflammation and skin cancer, so
care should be taken to avoid pro- longed and repeated contact. To remove used engine oil from your
skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
●Dispose of used oil and filters only in a safe and acceptable manner. Do not dispose of used oil and fil-
ters in household trash, in sewers or onto the ground.Call any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer, service station or auto parts store for information
concerning recycling or disposal.
●Do not leave used engine oil within
the reach of children.
NOTICE
■To prevent serious engine dam- age
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.

■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/power control unit coolant reser-
voir 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.
WARNING
■When the hybrid system is hot
Do not remove the engine/power con-
trol unit coolant reservoir caps.
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 mix-
ture of water and antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication, corrosion protection and cooling. Be
sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.

WARNING
■When the hybrid system is hot
Do not touch the radiator or con-
denser as they may be hot and cause serious injuries, such as burns.
Adding the washer fluid
WARNING
■When adding washer fluid
Do not add washer fluid when the
hybrid system is hot or operating as washer fluid contains alcohol and may catch fire if spilled on the engine,
etc.
NOTICE
■Do not use any fluid other than
washer fluid
Do not use soapy water or engine antifreeze instead of washer fluid.
Doing so may cause streaking on the vehicle’s painted surfaces, as well as damaging the pump leading to prob-
lems of the washer fluid not spraying.
■Diluting washer fluid
Dilute washer fluid with water as nec- essary.Refer to the freezing temperatures
listed on the label of the washer fluid bottle.
