Beneath the vehicle
Check for any oil or water leakage on the ground
or floor where the vehicle was parked.
Check for loose parts or damage.
If any unusual condition is found, have the ve-
hicle inspected at a Toyota dealer.
Tire inspection
Tire inflation pressure
1. Use a tire pressure gauge and measure the
inflation pressure. Adjust it to the proper level.
• See the service data section for the proper in-
flation pressure.
• Do not raise the pressure beyond the proper
level.
2. After the adjustment, check if air is not leak-
ing from the valve.
Damage, crack and wear of tires and rims
Check the tires for damage and wear, and the
rims for bending. If the tires are damaged, or
there is a marked difference in the wearing of
tires between the front and rear or between the
left and right is perceived, or bent rims are found,
ask a Toyota dealer for inspection.
Hub nut inspection
Check the tightness of the hub nuts.
Avoid uneven torque and tighten all of the nuts
uniformly. Refer to service data for proper
torque.
Lamp inspection ( Rear view mirror and turn
signal lamp are optional )
Are the filaments intact? Is there any lens dam-
age?
Always keep the lenses clean to insure proper
forward vision.

Engine compartment inspection
Engine coolant level check and supply
Level check and supply of engine coolant shall
be performed while the coolant is cool.
1. With the engine off, open the engine hood
and check the engine coolant level in the reser-
voir tank.
Note: The reservoir tank equipped to the radia-
tor automatically supplies the engine coolant
when the coolant quantity in the radiator be-
comes insufficient.
2. The coolant level is proper if it is between
the upper and lower limits. If the level is below
the lower limit, supply coolant to the upper limit.
3. The concentration of the long life coolant
(LLC ) in the engine coolant must be 30% ( or
50% in a frigid zone).
Note: If no engine coolant remains in the reser-
voir tank, be sure to check the coolant level in
the radiator, too.
Checking the engine coolant level in radiator
1. Remove the radiator cover.
2. Remove the cap and check the coolant level
from the filler port.
3. If the engine coolant is not visible through
the filler port, fill appropriately diluted coolant
( LLC ) to the port.
Note: To close and tighten the radiator cap,
match the pawl on the reverse side of the cap
with the notch on the filler port and turn the cap
fully clockwise while applying a downward
force.
