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 sub-
sides 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 fan is operating.

If the fan is operating:
Wait until the high engine coolant temperature warning light
goes off and then stop the engine.

If the fan is 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.
