If your engine overheats:
- Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air conditioning 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 high engine coolant temperature warning light goes off 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 (radiator) for any leaks.
Add engine coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emergency if engine coolant is unavailable.
Have the vehicle checked at the nearest Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
