TOYOTA vehicles are filled with TOYOTA SLLC at the factory. In order to avoid damage to the engine cooling system and other
technical problems, only use TOYOTA SLLC or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite,
non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology (coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology is a
combination of low phosphates and organic acids).

Wear protective gloves.
*
Be careful as the radiator hoses are hot.

Keep your hands away from the cooling fans.
NOTICE:
*
Make sure that the radiator reservoir still has some coolant in it.
*
If the coolant temperature gauge indicates an excessive temperature, turn off the engine and let it cool.
*
If there is not enough coolant, the engine may overheat or be seriously damaged.
