Coolant selection
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% deion-
ized water. (Minimum temperature: -31
F [-35
C])
Canada:
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 55% coolant and 45% deion-
ized water. (Minimum temperature: -44
F [-42
C])

■
If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine 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 system.
WARNING
■
When the engine is hot
Do not remove the engine coolant reservoir cap or the radiator cap.
(
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the
cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
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 prevent it from damaging parts or paint.

warning computer and the tire pressure warning system must be
initialized. (
◆
Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■
The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
●
When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when chang-
ing traveling speed or load weight.
●
When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when the tire
size is changed.
●
When rotating the tires.
●
After performing the transmitter ID code registration procedure.
(
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.
