⚫When the outside temperature is low, the engine oil may become white and
creamy, and it may get to the back of the oil filler cap or oil filling port.This
phenomenon takes place when water vapor in the engine is cooled, forming
water drops, which in turn are mixed wi th the engine oil. This, however, will
disappear when the water evaporates as the outside temperature gets high
or the engine warms up.The engine oil does not deteriorate due to this phe-
nomenon and there will be no problem if the engine oil is continued to be
used.
WARNING
⬛Used engine oil
⚫Used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause
skin disorders such as inflammation and skin cancer, so care should be
taken to avoid prolonged 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 filters in hous ehold trash, in sewers or onto the
ground.
Call your Toyota dealer, service stat ion or auto parts store for information
concerning recycling or disposal.
⚫Do not leave used engine oil within the reach of children.
⬛If engine oil is spilled
If oil is spilled on the alternator, wipe off the oil immediately. Oil spilled on the
alternator will cause a fire.
NOTICE
⬛To prevent serious engine damage
Observe the following precautions.
⚫Check the oil level on a regular basis.
⚫Do not use any engine oil additive.
⬛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.

Engine coolant
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” and “LOW” lines
on the reservoir when the engine is cold.
a Reservoir cap
b “FULL” line
c “LOW” line
If the level is on or below the “LOW”
line, add coolant up to the “FULL” line.
(➞ P. 412)
⬛Coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolan t” or a similar high quality ethylene
glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with
long-life hybrid org anic 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 engine coolant, contact your Toyota Genuine dealer.
⬛If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant reservoir cap, drain cock and
water pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have your Toyo ta dealer test the cap and check for
leaks in the cooling system.
WARNING
⬛When the engine is hot
Do not remove the radiator cap.
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the
cap is removed, causing seri ous injuries, such as burns.
⬛When replacing the coolant
To avoid coolant spilling on the altern ator, do not remove the upper radiator
hose from engine side (remove from the radiator side). Coolant spilled on the
alternator will cause corrosion of the coil and a fire.

Initializing the tire pressure warning system
(vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
⬛The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the
following circumstances:
⚫When rotating front and rear tires which have different tire inflation
pressures
⚫When changing the tire size
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire infla-
tion pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.
⬛How to initialize the tire pressure warning system
a Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch to “OFF”.
Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.
b Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation pres-
sure level. ( ➞P. 428)
Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. The tire pressure warning system will operate based on
this pressure level.
c Turn the engine switch to “ON”.
d Press and hold the tire pressure
warning reset switch until the tire
pressure warning light blinks
slowly 3 times.
e Wait for a few minutes with the engine switch in “ON” and then turn the
engine switch to “ACC” or “OFF”.

⬛Situations in which the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly✽
⚫In the following cases, the tire pressure warning system may not operate
properly.
⦁ If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used.
⦁A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.
⦁A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
⦁ Tire chains, etc., are equipped.
⦁ An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is equipped.
⦁ If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
⦁ If there is a lot of snow or ice on th e vehicle, particularly around the wheels
or wheel housings.
⦁ If the tire inflation pressure is extr emely higher than the specified level.
⦁ If the spare tire is in a location subj ect to poor radio wave signal reception.
⦁ If a large metallic object which can in terfere with signal reception is put
near the spare tire.
⦁ If a wheel, not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmit-
ter, is used.
⦁ If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is not
registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
⚫Performance may be affected in the following situations.
⦁Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display,

✽: If equipped
⬛Warning performance of the tire pressure warning system✽
The warning of the tire pressure warning system will change in accordance
with the conditions under which it was initialized. For this reason, the system
may give a warning even if the tire pre ssure does not reach a low enough level,
or if the pressure is higher than the pressure that was adjusted to when the
system was initialized.
⬛When initialization of the tire pressure warning system✽ has failed
Initialization can be completed in a fe w minutes. However, in the following
cases, the settings have not been reco rded and the system will not operate
properly. If repeated attempts to reco rd tire inflation pressure settings are
unsuccessful, have the vehicle in spected by your Toyota dealer.
⚫When operating the tire pressure wa rning reset switch, the tire pressure
warning light does not blink 3 times.
⚫After driving for a certain period of time since the initialization has been
completed, the warning light comes on after blinking for 1 minute.
