Checking the engine coolant
level
Look at the see−through coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold. The cool-
ant level is satisfactory if it is between
the "FULL" and "LOW" lines on the
reservoir. If the level is low, add the
coolant. (For the coolant
"Coolant type selection" described be-
low.)
The coolant level in the reservoir will vary
with engine temperature. However, if the
level is below the "LOW" line, add cool-
ant. Bring the level between the "FULL"
and "LOW" lines.
If the coolant level drops within a short
perfor-
time after replenishing, there may be a
leak in the system. Visually check the
radiator, hoses, coolant reservoir cap and
drain cock and water pump.
If you can find no leak, have your Toyota
dealer test the cap pressure and check
for leaks in the cooling system.
CAUTION
To prevent burning yourself, do not
remove the coolant
when the engine is hot.
