5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

If your vehicle overheats

If your engine overheats:

Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air condi-
tioning system.
Check to see if steam is coming out from under the hood.
If you see steam:

Stop the engine. Carefully lift the hood after the steam
subsides and then restart the engine.

If you do not see steam:

Leave the engine running and carefully lift the hood.

Check to see if the cooling fans are operating.
If the fans are operating:

Wait until the temperature of the engine (shown on the
instrument cluster) begins to fall and then stop the
engine.

If the fans are not operating:

Stop the engine immediately and call your Toyota dealer.

After the engine has cooled
down sufficiently, check the
engine coolant level and
inspect the radiator core (radi-
ator) for any leaks.
