n Engine oil consumption

l The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the

quality of the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.

l More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and

frequent acceleration and deceleration.

l A new engine consumes more oil. l When judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil may have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accu- rately.

l Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 Imp. qt./600 miles (1.0 L per

1000 km) If you consume more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 Imp. qt.) every 600 miles (1000 km), contact your Toyota dealer.

n After changing the engine oil (U.S.A. only)

To reset the oil change system, follow the procedure below: STEP 1

Turn off the hybrid system with the trip meter A reading shown. (→P. 150) The “POWER” switch must be set in ON mode while holding down the trip meter reset knob. A message “OIL MILEAGE RESET MODE” will appear on the display. Hold down the knob for at least 5 seconds. A message “COM- PLETE” will appear and the message “OIL MILEAGE RESET MODE” goes off.

l Used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin disorders such as inflammation or 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.

l 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.

l Do not leave used engine oil within the reach of children.

NOTICE

n To prevent serious engine damage Check the oil level on a regular basis.

n When replacing the engine oil

l Be careful not to spill engine oil on the vehicle components. l Avoid overfilling, as the engine could be damaged. l Check the oil level on the dipstick every time you refill the vehicle. l Be sure the engine oil filler cap is properly tightened.

4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

n If the coolant level drops within a short time after replenishing

Visually check the radiator, hoses, coolant reservoir caps, radiator cap, 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.

n Coolant selection

Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or similar high quality ethylene glycol 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. (Enabled: -31°F [-35°C])

Canada: Toyota Super Long Life Coolant is a mixture of 55% coolant and

45% deionized water. (Enabled: -44°F [-42°C]) For more details about coolant, contact your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION

n When the hybrid system is hot

Do not remove the coolant reservoir cap. The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the cap is removed, causing burns or other injuries.

NOTICE

n When adding coolant

Coolant 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.

n If you spill coolant

Be sure to wash it off with water to prevent damage to parts or paint.
