objects.
If either of the above parts are extremely dirty or you are not sure of
their condition, have your vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

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 prevent it from damaging parts or paint.
CAUTION
■
When the engine is hot
Do not touch the radiator or condenser as they may be hot and cause
serious injuries, such as burns.
