Radiator, condenser and hoses
Check that the front of the radiator and
condenser are clean and not blocked with
leaves, dirt, or insects. See Section 7–2
for additional information.
Battery electrolyte level
Your Toyota has a maintenance free bat-
tery. You do not have to add distilled wa-
ter. For longer life of the battery, however,
see Section 7–3 for additional information.
Brake fluid level
Make sure the brake fluid level is correct.
See Section 7–2 for additional information.
Engine oil level
Check the level on the dipstick with the
engine turned off and the vehicle parked
on a level spot. See Section 7–2 for addi-
tional information.
Power steering fluid level (5VZ–FE en-
gine)
Check the level on the dipstick. The level
should be in the “HOT” or “COLD” range
depending on the fluid temperature. See
Section 7–2 for additional information.
Power steering fluid level (2UZ–FE en-
gine)
Check the level through the reservoir. The
level should be in the “HOT” or “COLD”
range depending on the fluid temperature.
See Section 7–2 for additional information.
Exhaust system
If you notice any change in the sound of
the exhaust or smell exhaust fumes, have
the cause located and corrected immedi-
ately. (See “Engine exhaust cautions” in
Section 2.)
Be on the alert for changes in perfor-
mance, sounds, and visual tip–offs that
indicate service is needed. Some impor-
tant clues are as follows:
!
Engine missing, stumbling, or pinging
!
Appreciable loss of power
!
Strange engine noises
!
A leak under the vehicle (however, wa-
ter dripping from the air conditioning
after use is normal.)
!
Change in exhaust sound (This may
indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide
leak. Drive with the windows open and
have the exhaust system checked im-
mediately.)
!
Flat–looking tire; excessive tire squeal
when cornering; uneven tire wear
!
Vehicle pulls to one side when driving
straight on a level road
! Strange noises related to suspension
movement
!
Loss of brake effectiveness; spongy
feeling brake or clutch pedal; pedal al-
most touches floor; vehicle pulls to one
side when braking
! Engine coolant temperature continually
higher than normal
Does your vehicle need
repairing?
