To prevent burning yourself, be care-
ful not to touch the radiator or con-
denser when the engine is hot.
Coolant type selection
Use of improper coolants may damage
your engine cooling system. Your coolant
must contain ethylene−glycol type coolant
for proper corrosion protection of your en-
gine that contains aluminum components.
We have used "Toyota Genuine Long Life
Coolant" in your Toyota vehicle. In order
to avoid technical problems, we strongly
recommend using "Toyota Genuine Long
Life Coolant" or equivalent.
In addition to preventing freezing and sub-
sequent damage to the engine, this type
of coolant will also prevent corrosion. Fur-
ther supplemental inhibitors or additives
are neither needed nor recommended.
Read the coolant container for information
CAUTION
on freeze protection. Follow the manufac-
turer's directions for how much to mix
with plain water (preferably demineralized
water or distilled water). The total capacity
of the cooling system is given on page
291 in Section 8.
We recommend a 50% solution for your
Toyota,
about −35_C (−31_F). When it is extreme-
ly cold, to provide protection down to
about −50_C (−58_F), a 60% solution is
recommended. Do not use more than 70%
solution for better coolant performance.
Do not use alcohol type antifreeze or
plain water alone.
