Start the engine and turn the air conditioning system on to

check that the radiator cooling fan operates and to check for

coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses.

The fan operates when the air conditioning system is turned on

immediately after a cold start. Confirm that the fan is operating by

checking the fan sound and air flow. If it is difficult to check these,

turn the air conditioning system on and off repeatedly.

(The fan may not operate in freezing temperatures.)

If the fan is not operating:

STEP

Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional.

CAUTION

 To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of

your vehicle

 If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until

the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot, caus-

ing serious injuries such as burns.

 Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from

the fans and belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be

caught, resulting in serious injury.

Gasoline engine

 Do not loosen the radiator cap and the

coolant reservoir cap while the engine

and radiator are hot.

Serious injury, such as burns, may

result from hot coolant and steam

released under pressure.

CAUTION

Diesel engine

 Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap

while the engine and radiator are hot.

Serious injury, such as burns, may

result from hot coolant and steam

released under pressure.

NOTICE

When adding engine coolant

Wait until the engine has cooled down before adding engine coolant.

When adding coolant, do so slowly. Adding cool coolant to a hot engine too

quickly can cause damage to the engine.

 To prevent damage to the cooling system

Observe the following precautions:

 Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust

etc.).

sional.

After starting the engine, depress the accelerator pedal lightly until

the engine runs smoothly.

NOTICE

 When restarting the engine

 Do not crank the engine before refueling and operating the priming pump.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

If the vehicle becomes stuck

Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle

becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:

STEP

1

Vehicles with a Multidrive: Stop the engine. Set the parking

brake and shift the shift lever in P.

Vehicles with a manual transmission: Stop the engine. Set

the parking brake and shift the shift lever in N.

STEP

2

Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the stuck tire.

STEP

3

Place wood, stones or some other material under the tires

to help provide traction.

STEP

4

Restart the engine.

STEP

5

Vehicles with a Multidrive: Shift the shift lever to the D or R

and carefully apply the accelerator to free the vehicle.

Vehicles with a manual transmission: Shift the shift lever to

1 or R and carefully apply the accelerator to free the vehi-

cle.

Turn off TRC and VSC if these functions are hampering your

attempts to free the vehicle. (P. 241)

CAUTION

 When attempting to free a stuck vehicle

If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the sur-

rounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The

vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free.

Use extreme caution.

 When shifting the shift lever (Vehicles with a Multidrive)

Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.

This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may

cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
