5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If your vehicle overheats
The following may indicate that, your vehicle is overheating.
● The rightmost segment of the engine coolant temperature dis-
play (→P. 170) is flashing or a loss of engine power is experi-
enced. (For example, the vehicle speed does not increase.)
● Steam comes out from under the hood.
Follow the correction procedure as described below.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air condi-
tioning system, and then stop the engine.
If you see steam:
Carefully lift the hood after the steam subsides.
If you do not see steam:
Carefully lift the hood.
After the engine has cooled
down sufficiently, inspect the
hoses and radiator core (radi-
ator) for any leaks.

If a large amount of coolant
leaks, immediately contact
your Toyota dealer.

tory if it is between the “F” and
