New Toyota vehicles are filled with Toyota Super Long Life Coolant (color is pink, premixed ethylene glycol concentration is
approximately 50 % and freezing temperature is -35°C (-31°F)). When replacing the coolant, Toyota Super long Life Coolant is
recommended.

-

Observe the coolant level inside the radiator by pressing the inlet and outlet radiator hoses several times by hand. if the coolant level goes
down, add the coolant.

b. Install the radiator cap.
c. Bleed the cooling system.

(1) Start the engine, and open the heater water valve.
