CheckingEngine oilChecking the engine oilWith the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil level on the
dipstick.Park the vehicle on level ground. After warming up the engine and turning off the
hybrid system, wait about 5 minutes for the oil to drain back into the bottom of the
engine.Holding a rag under the end, pull the dipstick out.Vehicles with 2.4 L 4-cylinder (T24A-FTS) engineVehicles with 2.5L 4-cylinder (A25A-FXS) engineWipe the dipstick clean.Reinsert the dipstick fully.Holding a rag under the end, pull the dipstick out and check whether the oil level
is above low level mark.Low level markThe shape of the dipstick may differ depending on the type of vehicle or engine.Wipe the dipstick and reinsert it fully.Notice:To prevent serious engine damageCheck the oil level on a regular basis.Note:Engine oil consumptionA certain amount of engine oil will be consumed while driving. In the following situations,
oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be refilled in between oil
maintenance intervals.When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or after
replacing the engineIf low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate viscosity is usedWhen driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load, when towing*, or when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequentlyWhen leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently through
heavy traffic*Vehicles with towing packageEngine oil level riseIf the vehicle is repeatedly driven without the engine warmed up, moisture caused
by dew condensation inside the engine or fuel which did not burn mixes into the engine
oil, resulting in a rise in engine oil level. However, this is not a malfunction.For example, the engine become difficult to be warmed up in the following situations.When driving a short distanceWhen driving at a low speedWhen the outside temperature is lowWhen checking the engine oil, make sure that the engine is warmed up. If the engine
oil level exceeds the refill upper limit mark, contact your Toyota dealer.Adding engine oilChecking the oil type and preparing the item neededMake sure to check the oil type and prepare the items needed before adding oil.Engine oil selectionEngine oil selection (2.5L 4-cylinder [A25A-FXS] engine)Oil quantity (Low level mark Refill upper limit mark)1.6 qt.

as that already in the engine.Vehicles with 2.4 L 4-cylinder (T24A-FTS) engineVehicles with 2.5 L 4-cylinder (A25A-FXS) engineRemove the oil filler cap by turning it counterclockwise.Add engine oil slowly, checking the dipstick.Make sure that the oil level does not exceed the refill upper limit mark and is between
the low level mark and refill upper limit mark.Low level markRefill upper limit markThe shape of the dipstick may differ depending on the type of vehicle or engine.Install the oil filler cap by turning it clockwise.Note:Initialization
MaintenanceEngine oil maintenance dataAfter changing the engine oilAfter the engine oil has been replaced, the engine oil maintenance data should be
reset. Perform the following procedures:Park the vehicle in a safe place and then start the hybrid system.The oil maintenance cannot be reset while the vehicle is moving.Select
of the multi-information display using the meter control switches and then press
.Select “Vehicle Settings” and then press and hold
.Select “Oil Maintenance” and then press
.Select “Yes” and then press
.“Reset Complete” will be displayed on the multi-information display when the reset
procedure has been completed.Warning:Used engine oilUsed engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin disorders
such as inflammation and skin cancer, so care should be taken to avoid prolonged and
repeated contact. To remove used engine oil from your skin, wash thoroughly with soap
and water.Dispose of used oil and filters only in a safe and acceptable manner. Do not dispose
of used oil and filters in household trash, in sewers or onto the ground.Call your
Toyota dealer, service station or auto parts store for information concerning recycling
or disposal.Do not leave used engine oil within the reach of children.Notice:When replacing the engine oilBe careful not to spill engine oil on the vehicle components.Avoid overfilling, or the engine could be damaged.Check the oil level on the dipstick every time you refill the vehicle.Be sure the engine oil filler cap is properly tightened.If oil is spilled on the engine coverTo prevent the engine cover from being damaged, remove any engine oil from the engine
cover as soon as possible using a neutral detergent. Do not use an organic solvent
such as brake cleaner.Power control unit coolant

based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life
hybrid organic acid technology.U.S.A.:“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deionized water.
(Minimum temperature: -31°F [-35°C])Canada:“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 55% coolant and 45% deionized water.
(Minimum temperature: -44°F [-42°C])For more details about coolant, contact your Toyota dealer.If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishingVisually check the radiator, hoses, engine/power control unit coolant reservoir caps,
drain cock and water pump.If you cannot find a leak, have your Toyota dealer test
the cap and check for leaks in the cooling system.Warning:When the hybrid system is hotDo not remove the engine/intercooler*/power control unit coolant reservoir caps and radiator cap.The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the cap is removed,
causing serious injuries, such as burns.*Vehicles with 2.4 L 4-cylinder (T24A-FTS) engine onlyNotice:When adding coolantCoolant is neither plain water nor straight antifreeze. The correct mixture of water
and antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication, corrosion protection and
cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.If you spill coolantBe sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging parts or paint.RadiatorCondenserIntercoolerChecking the radiator, condenser and intercooler radiator**Vehicles with 2.4 L 4-cylinder (T24A-FTS) engine onlyCheck the radiator, condenser and intercooler radiator (vehicles with 2.4 L 4-cylinder

Use only newly opened brake fluid.Warning:When filling the reservoirTake care as brake fluid can harm your hands and eyes and damage painted surfaces.If
fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water
immediately.If you still experience discomfort, see a doctor.Notice:If the fluid level is low or highIt is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear
out or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.If the reservoir needs frequent
refilling, there may be a serious problem.Washer

contains alcohol and may catch fire if spilled on the engine, etc.Notice:Do not use any fluid other than washer fluidDo not use soapy water or engine antifreeze instead of washer fluid.Doing so may cause streaking on the vehicle’s painted surfaces, as well as damaging
the pump leading to problems of the washer fluid not spraying.Diluting washer fluidDilute washer fluid with water as necessary.Refer to the freezing temperatures listed on the label of the washer fluid bottle.
