Reservoir cap
“MAX” line
“MIN” line
5 Add engine coolant if neces-
sary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if engine coolant is unavail-
able. If water was added in an emer-
gency, have the vehicle inspected
at your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
6
Start the engine and turn the
air conditioning system on to
check that the radiator cool-
ing fan operates and to check
for coolant leaks from the
radiator or hoses.
The fan operates when the air con-
ditioning system is turned on imme-
diately after a cold start. Confirm
that the fan is operating by check-
ing the fan sound and air flow. If it is
difficult to check these, turn the air
conditioning system on and off
repeatedly. (The fan may not oper-
ate in freezing temperatures.)
7If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine immediately
and contact your Toyota
dealer.
If the fan is operating: Have
the vehicle inspected at the
nearest Toyota dealer.
