Checking the coolant |
|
|
Reservoir cap “FULL” line “LOW” line
If the level is on or below the “LOW” line, add coolant up to the “FULL” line. (P.653)
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” 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.
U.S.A.:
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deionized water. (Minimum tem- perature: -31°F [-35°C])
Canada:
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 55% coolant and 45% deionized water. (Minimum tem- perature: -44°F [-42°C])
For more details about coolant, con- tact your Toyota dealer.
Visually check the radiators, hoses, engine/power control unit coolant reservoir 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 sys- tem.
|
|
|
When the engine is hot
Do not remove the engine coolant reservoir cap. The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot cool- ant if the cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns. |
WARNING|
Checking the radiator and condenser |
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.
The brake fluid level should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the tank.
Make sure to check the fluid type and prepare the necessary item.

Checking tires |
Check if the treadwear indica- tors are showing on the tires. Also check the tires for uneven wear, such as excessive wear on one side of the tread.
Check the spare tire condition and pressure if not rotated.

New tread Worn tread
Treadwear indicator
The location of treadwear indicators is shown by a “TWI” or “ ” mark,
etc., molded into the sidewall of each tire.
Replace the tires if the treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.
Summer tires are high-speed perfor- mance tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same
traction performance as snow tires,
Tires should be replaced if:
If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer.
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if it has seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious.
Check that the maximum load of the replacement tire is greater than 1/2 of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle or the rear axle, whichever is greater.
For the GAWR, see the Certification Regulation Label. For the maximum load of the tire, see the load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure mentioned on the sidewall of the tire. (P.671)
summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow-covered or icy roads. For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. When install- ing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
All season tires are designed to pro- vide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most win- ter conditions as well as for use year-round. All season tires, how- ever, do not have adequate traction performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in accelera- tion and handling performance com- pared with summer tires in highway driving.
For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using snow tires. If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, con- struction and load capacity as the originally installed tires. Since your vehicle has radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snow tires also have radial construction. Do not install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restrictions. Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. (P.369)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.

Tire rotation |
To equalize tire wear and extend tire life, Toyota recommends that tire rotation is carried out at the same interval as tire inspection.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pres- sure warning system after tire rota- tion. (if equipped)
Make sure that the engine switch is OFF. If the tires are rotated while the engine switch is in ON, the tire posi- tion information will not be updated. If this accidentally occurs, either turn the engine switch to OFF and then to ON, or initialize the system after checking that the tire pressure is properly adjusted.
*: Vehicles with tire inflation pres- sure display function only
The illustration used is intended as an example, and may differ from the image that is actually displayed on the multi-informa- tion display.
The tire pressure warning system does not replace routine tire inflation pressure checks. Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine of daily vehicle checks.
*: Vehicles with tire inflation pres- sure display function only
warning valves and transmitters are used.
If tire position information is not cor- rectly displayed due to the radio wave conditions, the display may be corrected by driving and changing
the radio wave conditions.
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 pressure 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.

Registering ID codes (vehicles with tire pres- sure warning system) |
Every tire pressure warning valve and transmitter has a unique ID code. In addition to the set of tire pressure warning system sensor ID codes initially registered to the vehicle, a sec- ond set of ID codes can be reg- istered. A second set of tire pressure warning system sensor ID codes can be registered at your Toyota dealer. When 2 sets of ID codes have been regis- tered, either ID code set can be selected.

Wheel selection |
Replacement wheels are avail- able at your Toyota dealer.
*: Conventionally referred to as off- set.
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pres- sure. Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be installed. (P.576, 588)
|
|
|
Use of defective wheels pro- hibited
Do not use cracked or deformed wheels. Doing so could cause the tire to leak air during driving, possibly causing an accident. |
WARNING|
|
|
Replacing tire pressure warn- ing valves and transmitters (vehicles with tire pressure warning system)
Because tire repair or replace- ment may affect the tire pres- sure warning valves and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop. In addition, make sure to purchase your tire pressure warning valves and transmit- ters at your Toyota dealer.
Ensure that only genuine Toyota wheels are used on your vehi- cle.
Tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not work properly with non-genuine wheels. |
