⬛Adding engine oil
If the oil level is below or near the low level mark, add engine oil of the
same type as that already in the engine.
▶WA-VE engine▶1KR-VET engine
Make sure to check the oil type and prepare the items needed before add-
ing oil.
a Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counterclockwise.
b Add engine oil slowly, checking the dipstick.
c Install the oil filler cap by turning it clockwise.
⬛Engine oil consumption
A certain amount of engine oil will be consumed while driving. In the following
situations, oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be
refilled in between oil maintenance intervals.
⚫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 inappropriate viscosity is used
⚫When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load, or when driving
while accelerating or decelerating frequently
⚫When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently
through heavy traffic

⚫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.

NOTICE
⬛When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor straight antifreeze. The correct mixture of
water and antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication, corrosion
protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.
⬛If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to pr event it from damaging parts or paint.
Radiator and condenser
Check the radiator and condenser and clear away any foreign objects. If
either of the above parts is extremel y dirty or you are not sure of their
condition, have your vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
⬛When the engine is hot
Do not touch the radiator or condenser as they may be hot and cause serious
injuries, such as burns.
Brake fluid
⬛Checking fluid level
The brake fluid level should be
between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines
on the tank.
⬛Adding fluid
Make sure to check the fluid type and prepare the necessary item.

⬛Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air
Excess moisture in the brake fluid can ca use a dangerous loss of braking efficiency.
Use only newly opened brake fluid.
WARNING
⬛When filling the reservoir
Take care as brake fluid can harm your hands and eyes and damage painted
surfaces.
If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean
water immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, consult a doctor.
NOTICE
⬛If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear
out or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent ref illing, there may be a serious problem.
Battery
Check the battery as follows.
⬛Caution symbols✽
The meanings of each caution symbol on the top of the battery are as fol-
