Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coo-
lant” or a similar high quality ethylene
glycol based non-silicate, non-amine,
non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with
long-life hybrid organic 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 coolant, contact
your Toyota dealer.
■
If the coolant level drops within a
short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiators, hoses,
engine/power control unit coolant reser-
voir caps, drain cock and water pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have your
Toyota dealer, test the cap and check for
leaks in the cooling system.
Check the radiator and condenser,
and clear away any foreign objects.
If either of the above parts is
extremely 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 remove the engine coolant

the cap is removed, causing serious
injuries, such as burns.
